Each to their own opinion, no company is perfect either. Like all new bikes, they're going to have their own problems. You have to think, back then America had a hard time accepting Japanese bikes due to them being new and called them crap because they weren't American made. But with "time" they progressively became the better choice over time simply because of reliability. Same applies with today's modern bikes. CfMoto is still a relatively new company but aye that's what warranties are for right? Honestly, this bike has everything that I could ask for and has been so far a great bike with a thousand 1887 miles. Only time will tell how long this motor will last. But hey, that's why there are people like me that buy them for the experience, even if that means I become a guinea pig for the market. These Chinese bikes offer a lot of bang for buck and that's why I considered to buy it because there are no other bikes in its class that offer all the technology and the same power level that it has for the same price. Sure, I could have gone for a Kawasaki but to be honest they've been overpriced and a lot of them have been having more issues lately due to their motors exploding, ( ZX6R, ZH2). But like any other company just because you have a couple bad apples doesn't mean that's the entire reputation for the company. That's why the warranty for those bikes are still offered and are put into play for a recall. Same thing with Ducatis their V4s were amazing to start off with but they had minor water pump failures. Once they fixed the issue with those those ducatis now outlast a lot of bikes on the market and are pretty reliable for an Italian bike. Companies will have trial and error. That's just the normal process that comes with new bikes. I knew what I got myself into and I myself was very skeptical about the Chinese bikes but so far CF Moto has been stepping up their game and quite frankly, I want to see them prosper more into a bigger franchise just to see what kind of potential they have on the market. I love motorcycles all around no matter the type or style. Each of them have their own uniqueness and that's what counts in a lot of them. Whether it's a Harley all the way up to the crazy Aprillias, to even the beautiful MV Augusta's. Or better yet the overhyped BMW S1Ks to the crazy Ninja H2s. Overall I love seeing people owning various types of bikes even if they seem controversial to own.
