Really - that's what they say...   treasure.craigslist.org/mcd/5550458477.html Text of ad: "Bike is new and never been titled. Was started the first time in 2016. Bike is in KM not MPH and effects nothing. The CFMoto Glory is powered by a liquid-cooled 152cc four-stroke engine which is fed via electronic fuel injection and puts out about 11 horsepower. The transmission is an automatic CVT. The Glory weighs in at 330 pounds and has a seat height of 30 inches. A hydraulic telescopic fork covers the front suspension while dual shocks handle the rear. BOTH front and rear brakes are single disks. The front tire is a 100/80 - 14 and the rear tire is a slightly wider 110/80-14. The fuel tank holds just a touch over two gallons." You don't always see a "brand new" 2008 vehicle...I wonder what the rubber parts are like...  |

As far as the rubber is concerned, I'd say it depends on where it has been stored for the last 8 years. No matter how well stored, probably not quite factory fresh..........but.........I made a somewhat similar purchase last fall. It was a 2006 Ural, had never been registered, 40 km on odometer (24 miles)......I had the same concerns about the rubber components. Only put 800 km on it last fall, and so far everything is fine...no leaks, drips, or seepage anywhere, tires look good too, no cracking of any kind. I feel I can afford to replace a few seals if the need arises, for I paid less than 1/2 of the price of a basic, current year model.  |

I got my 2005 new in 2007. Dealership had moved, and discovered some crates in the back that had never been opened. Surprise! New scooters!
Hopefully this guy did like mine and put in all fresh fluids etc.

It's a nice scooter but before you buy find out where you can source CFMoto parts for that specific bike, it may be impossible. |

Oh, I'm not going to buy it - I just thought it was interesting to see a "brand new" 2008 model...  |

In Florida those tires are dangerous. Riding on them here would be like playing Russian Roulette and potentially just as lethal. Rule here for cage tires is toss them after 5 years and 2 or 3 years for motorcycles. With the Ozone issues from the Florida Sun and constant year round daytime temps well over 75 degrees most of the year tires take a beating here.

In my opinion, one of the best that CFMOTO ever made. They were discontinued in favor of the FI scoots. I bought a crap load when they were offered to dealers at $500.

Naw......blew them suckers out the door in a jiff. Think it was 2011 or '12
They did the same with the Glory's a few years later.

Hey, have a bone on the Old Chopper Guy for that great Ural! I've only seen a couple of them, and never up close, so I know little about them. Is your sidecar wheel powered? I see you have a telescopic front fork, which is better today, than the Earl's fork on the earlier Soviet models.
Anyway, THAT is one SWELL modern-day, old-school sidecar rig!Ride safe! Leo in Texas |

Leo in Texas Co-worker has a vintage one with a side car and claims most things that do go wrong that can't be solved with a shot of WD40 can be fixed with a can opener and a scrap from an old belt or boot. Keeps chugging along. Only real issues he has are in Florida if you don't wear through the tires in 3 years your taking your chances if you run them at over 30 mph. |
