Grand prix fans on the hunt for an eye-catching commuter or learner bike now have a new option, with the 2023 CFMOTO 300SR Moto3 Edition now available in Australia.
Produced by the Chinese manufacturer to mark the completion of CFMOTO’s involvement in its first Moto3 season, where the CFMOTO Racing Prüstel GP team campaigned a KTM RC250GP to seventh place in the teams’ standings, the model sports a race livery that pays homage to the German-based Moto3 team.

The 2023 Moto3 season will also bring a distinctly Aussie flavour to the CFMOTO Racing Prüstel GP team, with Australia’s Joel Kelso signing on to race the KTM hardware alongside Spain’s Xavier Artigas Lopez.
The 19-year-old Kelso will be making his Moto3 debut this year, after first moving to Europe four years ago and contesting the Supersport 300 World Championship as well as the Italian and Spanish Moto3 titles.
Round one of the 2023 Moto3 Championship kicks off at the Portimao circuit in Portugal on March 26.
