I love the fact that bike manufacturers other than the big four are looking at new ideas/concepts.
However what the fick is this obsession at the moment about making all bikes look like rejects from a Transformers film ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

To be fair, CFMoto have quite a decent little range, not extensive by any stretch of the imagination, but not a bad little range all the same, just a shame over here we're restricted in what's available.
However, you can clearly see the Kiska influence on the NK bikes

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again here.
It’s all well and good them having a range of bikes for sale over here, but buyers want a support network before people start parting with cash.
As much I am pleased CF-Moto are looking towards new sales opportunities, I’d be more impressed if the news was about establishing a dealer network and support training for those involved.
I’d be more inclined to walk into one of their establishments then. |
To be fair, aside from at the beginning when there seemed a few issues getting hold of someone at WK, when it came to replacing the bits damaged in the crash, they supplied the parts next day. WK/CFmoto, 'appear' to have a good working relationship. CFMoto's range isn't big enough on it's own to go down the dealer route here in the UK. It's very different, say, in Australia.
The biggest bug bear I've found is Zonghshen/Honley very poor, but, who knows, perhaps working with Norton, will mean Zongshen get their act together? ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Then it will remain an insignificant niche brand bought by contrarians. It's really up to CF Moto whether they want to address that, or whether they'll keep selling their stuff to random rebranders without ever adding value to it.

The same could have been said about Triumph not a great deal of time ago !! CFMoto are actively increasing their range, there is a fair chance if they continue, at some point they will hit critical mass. Bearing in mind, ATV's are probably still their bread and butter products that sell well. The thing is it's quite rare to find a bad review of a CFMoto bike, but easy to find decent reviews, it may inky be a matter if time.
However, in the not too distant future, I reckon if you haven't got a range of electric bikes, then long term your brand won't survive. Petrol bikes will be a thing of the past, sooner rather than later. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Mine's from 2015, and branded CFMoto, I know someone who has 2013 TR, but that's unbranded, as he resprayed it black & gold, but that's his line of work. First port of call in the instance you mention, would be my local mechanic who I've used for various bits of work and MOT's for iver 10 years, never changed an oil pump, and probably wouldn't know where to start.
However, I have slowly build up a spare parts store, just not had to use any as yet. All ordered from WK, and all delivered in under a week. I have spare throttle & clutch cables, also spare mirror covers, as i keep scraping the 1 getting the bike in and out of the garage, spare, crash bung/covers, again, when I had the crash with the van, one of those got damaged. Again, when I had the crash, I had repaired it with parts supplied by WK in under a week. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |
