CFMOTO Papio SS Minibike

The 2026 CFMOTO Papio SS brings back the spirit of Japan’s iconic 80s mini sportbikes in a modern, playful package. Designed as a full-faired, retro-inspired café racer, it channels the look and energy of the classic Honda NSR50 and Yamaha YSR while adding contemporary tech and performance. Compact, affordable, and bursting with personality, it’s built for riders who value fun over sheer power.

Powered by a 126cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 9.4 horsepower, the Papio SS delivers zippy acceleration and a top speed of around 56 mph. A six-speed gearbox, upside-down forks, rear monoshock, and dual-channel ABS bring big-bike features to a smaller frame. The addition of traction control gives it a modern edge, making it approachable for new riders yet engaging for veterans.

Its full race fairing, clip-on bars, and 12-inch wheels give the Papio SS a sporty stance, while LED lighting and a digital display keep things sharp and contemporary. At just 251 pounds, it’s light, agile, and perfect for city riding or weekend fun.

More than a minibike, the Papio SS is a celebration of motorcycling’s purest joy. It blends classic design with modern reliability, proving that size doesn’t limit adventure.
