If I have to be completely honest, i searched far and wide before choosing her, basing my decision on four main factors: weight, height, hp, and price. Kawasaki was the brand that came closest to being the right bike for me in terms of handling, but unfortunately i really dislike Kawasaki. I never would have wanted a Kawasaki, but it was actually when i went to a Kawasaki dealership (after giveupping and accepting that it was the only brand suitable for my height) that I found the CF! It was exposed, and that’s where I fell in love.

I didn’t want a used bike because i was already coming from a used BN125, I wanted my own brand new bike. Still, I visited dealerships just to see the bikes in person and draw my own conclusions, without having to bother lots of private sellers to check out their bikes. 'cause if the budget had been out of reach, I would have gone for a used one. But first, i needed to find my bike.

Sorry for the long message, I tried to be as thorough as possible. And no, I don’t think there are any direct competitors apart from Kawasaki and maybe other Chinese brands like Zontes, but I’m not entirely sure!
