Posted: 11:44 - 29 Sep 2021 Post subject: CFmoto, who? |
|
|
Yer yer , I know I’m behind the times
However enlighten me please?
I was wandering around YouTube and found this,
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BMUqyYd4ax4
I thought that CFmoto were manufactures/importers of little Chinese 125’s with a few single 400cc’s ??
Are Chinese built bikes about to start appearing on racing grids?
Are we witnessing history repeating itself? ie how the Japanese started off in the sixties?
Or is this just someone going off on a tangent? ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I like be be open minded when it comes to new brands.
There are a few China riders around here and from what I’ve seen, the newer Chinese bikes appear to be good bikes (for what they are, 125 & 250cc).
My Honley (Zongshen RX3) isn’t bad, I’ve had worse.
We used to have someone on here who had a bigger CFMOTO bike and he loved it.
Are we still at the stage where Chinese is a by-word for shit or have things moved on ??
Are Japanese bikes the only way to go if you’re buying an oriental bike?
I personally don’t think so.
My mighty Hyosung GT250r (not Chinese, it’s Korean) has been a great bike and I’m keeping it.
I’m not sure I’d want to race it though ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I actually like my little Chinese 125.
I think it's done well, I've put thousands of miles on it in it's first year and rode it through a winter as a daily commuter. If I am honest, I think the hardware (specifically bolts and fasteners) should have had a better coating or could have been made of stainless for pennies more. That's it though. It's quite a charming little bike, I got a new appreciation for it when I had to ride it again after my ER6F was out of action for a while. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

Saw a motors for the masses YouTube video of that. Part of it anyway.
Looks a nice bike, more powerful than the Er6 engine it’s copied from according to the specs.
Only thing that puts me off (other than the unknown quality) is the mudguard/tail assembly. I think it looks cool, but I reckon you’d end up with a massive brown stripe up you back on the way to work. ____________________ Yamaha Vity 125 (gone) Kawasaki ER6N(dead) 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (nicked) 2003 DL1000 V Strom |

Same old, same old innit... "improving every year"... "looks like something that costs more"... I'd be more interested in hearing what matey thinks when (if) he's done 20000 miles on it.
I'm more than happy to be proven wrong; ATEOTD the availability of more cheap, capable 2nd hand bikes would please me greatly but I'm not holding my breath. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 190 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
