2026 CFMOTO 450CL-C vs. the lightweight cruiser class

A modern liquid-cooled parallel-twin cruiser with the most standard tech in its class, the lowest seat, and a 2-year warranty — at the lowest price of any real twin here. Here's the honest rundown against the Honda, Kawasaki and Royal Enfield.

Why buy the 450CL-C from Empire

The most modern, best-equipped lightweight cruiser for the money — and the easiest one here to throw a leg over.

  • ✓
    Most tech in its class. A 3.6″ color TFT touchscreen, traction control and a slipper clutch — all standard. None of these rivals give you a color screen or TC at any price.
  • ✓
    Lowest price of any real twin here. ~$5,799 undercuts the Honda Rebel and Kawasaki Eliminator by $700–$1,000 — for the same modern liquid-cooled parallel-twin layout.
  • ✓
    Lowest seat + longest twin warranty. A 27″ seat is the easiest to flat-foot, and 2 years of coverage doubles the Honda and Kawasaki.
  • ●
    Straight talk. The Eliminator makes the most power (51 hp) and the Rebel has the deepest aftermarket and resale. The Meteor is cheaper and covers 3 years — but it's an air-cooled 349 single making about 18 hp, a slower bike in a different class.
A great first cruiser for the Inland Northwest. Low, light and easy to flat-foot for building confidence around Spokane Valley — but a real freeway-capable twin for a run down I-90 or the backroads out to Coeur d'Alene. Low insurance and running costs make it the bike you actually ride.

And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.
