CFMoto's new superbike, the "V4 SR-RR," recorded 315.82km/h (196.2mph) at a test facility in Shangrao, China, on June 15, the company announced, setting a new top-speed record for a Chinese-engined motorcycle. Its 997cc V4 produces over 212 horsepower (156kW) at 14,500rpm, with a target dry weight under 200kg. A production version is planned for 2027, with a near-production-spec version expected to be unveiled at EICMA 2026.

A 997cc V4 putting out 212hp, aiming to come in under 200kg — just seeing the spec made me shudder. Backing up 315.82km/h with an official certification is proof of genuine seriousness too. A Chinese brand has come this far. The production version lands in 2027, and if a close-to-final spec shows at EICMA, I can't wait.

Where'd they measure 315km/h? Surely not on a public road, right?

A Chinese-made bike setting the top speed record — that's the kind of thing people would've laughed off not long ago.

If you underestimate them based on the old image of China, this is exactly how you get blindsided.

This much horsepower at half the price of the European brands, this could be a real threat to bikes like the Panigale.

So we're at the point where China can hit 315km/h, honestly that's pretty hype.

That's a one-off prototype record though. Curious how much of that number survives on the 2027 production version.

212hp at 14,500rpm and aiming for under 200kg dry — the specs are the real deal.
