I had read either on here or somewhere else (can't find the thread) that CF Moto was dropping their favored dealerships and limiting their sale of scooters.
On their website, they show 2 650 cc bikes and one 250 scoot and one 250 bike that was the V5 now the CRUZ and a couple unknowns.
Seems they're gong towards ATV's.
So, that being said, I went down to the local Powersports scooter place and asked them if it was true.
The sales person (the guys wife) had no idea what I was talking about.
The repair tech/owner/husband came out and confirmed what I had asked, that CFMoto was limiting they bikes/scoots they were able to get as a dealer.
They were hoping to get other models from other distributors. And something other than blue for the V5/CRUZ.
He wasn't sure what he was gonna do to survive.
He's the only 'real' scooter dealer in town.
There are a couple Vespa type 'dealers' that are right next to the college, but they just sell em to the college kids.
My GF really liked the one remaining Commutor/Fashion/Helix clone that was left on the showroon floor.
A Brand New 2008!!!
!! A NEW 2008???
The wife/salesperson said if I bought it today, she'd lower the price by $100. (from $3499 or $3999 - I forget) that they could service it, etc etc etc.
That it was great on gas in todays economy,etc etc etc
I replied that it was 5 years old, and it was just another toy, so saving on gas wasn't really an issue. I said I'd think about it.
I went home, and saw a Honda Helix on craigslist for $1750, with 7000 miles. If the GF wants one other than red, we can spend another $300 and get new plastic in whatever colour she wants.
Anyway, seems CF Moto is getting out of the scooter business and focusing on ATV's.
But, thankfully, there are still plenty of sites with parts available.
Too bad, cause I really like the Helix clones.
Biggest Chinese maxiscooter I could find.
(Other than a Lukeous Morphedeous)
Anyone else confirm or deny?
Just putting it out there in the event y'all see fewer and fewer CF Motos.
