Well I don't need auto folding mirrors, I don't need self opening fuel caps, I don't need 3 different transmission modes, I don't need a lever operated brake, a strut to hold up the seat, a security system that unlocks the bike on approach or the myriad of other niceties, gimmicks and extras to break that other more expensive bikes have.
I just need a bike that is mechanically sound, is comfortable to ride and at the right price and this seems to have ticked the boxes for me.
Edit - to be fair I took a newer 2013 Burgman 650 for a run on Friday just to make sure I wasn't suffering from confirmation bias, and yes, it was nice with some caveats.
I personally prefer the Jetmax with the extra $7000 in my pocket

The elusive Mitsuboshi belt in a CFMOTO bag from one supplier
Still works out at $175aud
A 3mm bigger one to suit other 250cc bikes are about $150 cheaper

But is it the right belt?
The part number from the CFMoto parts list is 01AD - 053000 NOT 01AO - 053000
the length according to the dealer here in Oz and bikerdoc is 903 x 22.6 NOT 916 x 22.3 like in the pic.

Got to the bottom of the confusion the cheaper belt is for the first generation models
Re: 2010 CFMoto Jetmax 250 Scooter
Bloody freight is expensive.
How is it that I can buy countless bits of crap from China on ebay and freight is free or almost nothing but when I want to buy something I actually want is going to cost a motza?
ezbuy https://ezbuy.com/ seem to think a belt, a set of brake pads, a set of rollers and 6 paper oil filters will weigh in at 6.5kg.
I would have thought it would be half that.

And you have to ask, why would you change belt size mid way through a model run?

Yes, freight out of PRC to other countries is fairly expensive IMO, especially if the destination country isn't one of the major freight destinations (back and forth) e.g. USA!

R&D and QI from first models released e.g. second and later generation Jetmax brakes also have small design revisions. Same goes for the 650NK and 650TR, second and subsequent models have subtle modifications compared with the first generation model(s).
Not much different than most other manufacturers, often making subtle design modifications between model years. The Suzuki Burgman 650 is one clear example where between 2003-2012 modifications were made 'on the inside' some subtle, some more substantial. However looking at the Burgman 650 from the outside, nothing looks any different. Major changes clearly evident from the outside seen from the 2013 model Burgman 650 onwards. Yamaha have done the same with the Super Tenere XT1200 from 2010-2013, but made changes from 2014 onwards, some subtle and some more so.

Every manufacturer will do running changes to their model over the life time of the model. CF Moto is no exception. My 650 TK/TR has the revised instruments gauges with clock and trip meter plus upgraded brakes, external 12V socket and extra clips on the panniers. Found out that few months later, the model gets a longer side stand and optional taller screen. Have retrofitted both. Now the ABS option is available but can't retrofit that to my bike.
