Description
Say hello to big-bike attitude in a perfectly pint-sized package: the 2026 CFMOTO Papio CL in Nebula White. It’s the kind of mini street machine that looks like it’s always up for trouble—in the best way—whether you’re carving through downtown blocks or turning the long way home into the main event.
At its heart is a 126cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke with SOHC simplicity and a fuel-injected setup that’s happy on regular gas. With 9.4 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 6.8 ft-lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm, it loves being ridden with a little enthusiasm—especially paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that keeps you involved and grinning. Power heads out through a chain drive, keeping that classic, mechanical connection between you and the road.
The Papio CL’s compact stance is part of the charm: 68.9 inches long with a 47.8-inch wheelbase, and a 29.1-inch seat height that feels approachable while still giving you that “proper motorcycle” posture. At a 251 lb wet weight, it’s easy to manage in tight spaces and quick direction changes, making it a natural fit for city life and weekend loops alike. And with a 1.9-gallon fuel tank, it’s ready for plenty of short adventures between fill-ups.
Handling gets a confidence boost from an inverted front fork and a twin sided swing arm rear with adjustable spring pre-load, so you can fine-tune the feel for your ride. Those 12-inch aluminum wheels wear tubeless rubber—120/70-12 up front and 130/70-12 out back—for a planted, playful footprint.
When it’s time to rein things in, you’ve got hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, with a 210 mm front rotor and a 190 mm rear rotor. Add LED lighting, a clear fuel gauge, and a one-piece vinyl seat for two, and the Papio CL becomes the small standard bike that refuses to be ignored—especially dressed in that clean, cosmic Nebula White finish.
