I genuinely thought my sportsbike days were done. I’m not 19 anymore, I’m not trying to prove anything, and I like my riding simple and honest. But this CF-Moto 675 SR-R has gone and made me rethink that. In this video I take you through why it’s the sort of “naughty” bike that still feels grown-up: the power and the weight just work together in a way that gives confidence rather than fear. It’s sporty, it feels special enough, but it’s not constantly trying to bite your head off. The big takeaway is value. It’s not the fastest thing in its class and I’m not pretending it’s the outright best sports bike you can buy—because it isn’t. But at around the £7,000 mark, and with the way it delivers its performance, it’s very hard to dismiss. If you were a naughty boy in the naughties, had a break from bikes, and you’re thinking about a sensible way back into a sportsbike-shaped life, this could be the ideal reintroduction. I filmed this with Orwell Motorcycles in Ipswich, and I’ll be straight with you: it’s the best for the money.
