The 250NK from 'CFLITE,' a new sub-brand produced by the increasingly popular-in-Europe CFMOTO, has launched domestically. Built around an affordable price and strong performance, it delivers a lively, quick-footed naked-bike experience. Priced under 500,000 yen, it comes from a brand that also competes in the Moto2/Moto3 classes.

For a bike this price, under 500,000 yen, I couldn't help but do a double take on the spec sheet. Price-wise the CFLITE looks entry-level, but the 250NK's light footwork should be more fun than the numbers suggest. Knowing CF MOTO built its name in Moto2 and Moto3, this price point is irresistible.

'Lively naked bike' is a nice way to put it, want to go test ride it.

Being 250cc, would this also suit a first bike?

How does this 250NK compare to something like the GB350 or the MT-25?

Looking at the spec sheet, the CFLITE seems to lean more value-for-money.

How durable is CF's lower-tier sub-brand, that's what worries me.

Apparently CF's build quality has improved a lot lately.

A 250 naked under 500,000 yen is a genuinely good price point.
