Description
Meet the 2026 CFMOTO 450CL-C in —a standard motorcycle with a big personality and the kind of look that makes you take the long way home. It also comes in Teal Green and Nebula Black, but this one has its own vibe: clean, confident, and ready to turn everyday errands into mini adventures.
Twist the throttle and the liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-twin gets to work with a smooth, modern punch—40 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 30 ft-lbs of torque at 6,250 rpm. It’s a DOHC, 4-stroke setup that’s happy cruising or hustling, and the Bosch fuel injection keeps response crisp while still sipping regular gas. An electric starter brings it to life instantly, and the 6-speed manual makes every ride feel a little more “you did that” in the best way.
It’s built to feel planted without feeling bulky. With a 399 lb wet weight, a 58.5-inch wheelbase, and a relaxed 28° rake, the 450CL-C balances stability with easy maneuvering. The inverted fork up front and twin-sided swing arm with a single rear shock help keep things composed when the pavement gets less-than-perfect.
Grip and confidence come standard thanks to tubeless CST® tires on aluminum wheels—a 130/90 R16 front and 150/80 R16 rear that look as serious as they feel. When it’s time to scrub speed, J.Juan hydraulic discs do the job: a 320 mm front disc with a 4-piston caliper, plus a 220 mm rear disc.
Comfort and practicality are baked in, too. The two-piece vinyl seat keeps both rider and passenger in mind, and the low 27-inch seat height makes stoplights and parking lots feel less intimidating. You’ve got a 3.2-gallon tank for easy day rides, a fuel gauge to keep tabs, and thoughtful touches like a chain guard and exhaust guard.
Finish it off with LED lighting, Bluetooth® audio, and mobile app instrumentation, all controlled right from the handlebar—and you’ve got a bike that’s as fun to live with as it is to ride.
