Cfmoto 1250tr-g Review

Used Buyer Review

The 1250TR-G is one of those bikes that makes you do a double-take at the price tag. For used money — we're talking well under ten grand in most markets — you're getting a genuine 1279cc parallel-twin with actual touring hardware: heated grips, cruise control, a half-decent TFT dash, and panniers that don't feel like an afterthought. CFMoto leaned hard on their Chery/KTM technical partnerships here, and it shows in how the engine actually pulls cleanly through the mid-range. That said, go in with eyes open. Early units had some questionable switchgear feel and the suspension is tuned for Chinese touring riders — read: soft. Budget for a fork spring swap if you're over 85kg or you enjoy corners. Dealer support outside major cities is still patchy, so check parts availability in your area before committing. Electronics aren't Bosch-level sophisticated, but the traction control and multiple riding modes work reliably enough in the real world.
