CFMOTO Australia has announced the competitive pricing for its adventure motorcycle models, the 800MT Sport and 800MT Touring, which will arrive later this year.

The 800MT Sport in Starlight Black  will cost just $12,990 ride away and the up-spec Ocean Blue 800MT Touring is only $1000 more.

They will come with a three-year, unlimited kilometres warranty under CFMOTO current ‘2 plus 1’ deal.

At the heart of both bikes is KTM’s  799cc parallel twin, which produces 70kW (95hp) at 8000rpm and 88Nm at 6600rpm.

The 800MTs also have a slipper clutch, Bosch electronic fuel injection and a ride-by-wire throttle with three riding modes: rain, off-road and road.

The 800MT Sport and 800MT Touring share the same 19-litre fuel capacity, expansive rider and pillion seats, tubular steel frame, fully adjustable KYB suspension, crash bars, 825mm seat height, adjustable screen and Spanish J.Juan brakes with ABS.

The major point of differentiation between the two is in the rolling stock: cast wheels on the Sport as opposed to spoked tubeless wheels on the Touring. Wheel sizes are 19-inch front and 17-inch rear – an ideal compromise for road and off-road riding.

800 MT standard features:

• A seven-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity and a navigation function (as well as complementary App);
• Cruise control;
• Adjustable screen;
• Fog lights;
• Crash bars;
• USB and 12-volt charging; and
• LED lights and turn signals.

800MT Touring features:

• Tyre pressure monitoring;
• A two-way quickshifter;
• Handguards;
• Alloy bashplate;
• Steering damper; and
• Keyless start.
