    Re: Initial review of the CoLove ZF500GYx

    No updates for the last 2.5 years. I left the bike in China when the pandemic began and haven't seen it since. China has remained closed for almost all types of visas, including the type I was on....

    Re: Help me in making the right decision

    Nikolce,

    You don't say where you are. Given the site I'll assume China. In my experience outside of CFMoto and Benelli most Chinese brands don't go the Western route of dealerships. The bikes...

    Re: Drive an RX3 1/2 way around the USA - NEED HELP

    First off, wow, that is a big plan, doable but big. My first question is why the CMC RX3? If you are set on it and have your reasons go for it. Otherwise re-think that decision. A good used larger...

    Re: Initial review of the CoLove ZF500GYx

    Thanks for the suggestions ChinaV and Shuben. Already got the Taobao volt meter and ran the basic tests. Haven’t had the opportunity to get out on the road to see about higher speed. I’ve talked to a...

    Re: Initial review of the CoLove ZF500GYx

    On the continuing review of the Colove 500x I’ve hit a bit of a snag. As previously mentioned an electrical issue began in June. Initially it was a matter of the dash resetting itself when the...

    Re: Motorbikes legal on Toll roads

    Not so fast. I saw the post and the change in the law about a month ago. The translation I came up with lead me to the same conclusion as you. Unfortunately when I showed it to a foreigner, fellow...

    Re: TMEC 125 Enduro wheel Bearings

    Just a heads up and hopefully you figured this out on your own. It is very likely that the overwhelming % of bearings being sold in China are of inferior quality and if they have a quality brand name...

    Re: Initial review of the CoLove ZF500GYx

    After writing my initial review I found the time to take a longer ride on the Colove. Following that ride I would add a few thing to the initial review. Either the brakes have worn in or I've gotten...

    Re: 7000 Km owners review on the new CFmoto 650MT

    I did buy a bike, still waiting on the plate as the holidays seem to shut most things down. Have you been able to sort out your logistics for returning?

    Hopefully it will be good news on the new bike. Going to be about a week before I can ride as the New Year has shut down getting the plates and insurance until then. I'll post information and a...

    That sounds like an amazing trip. I know people pull it off all the time, just seems to take persistence. I'll throw in my 2 cents (.1 Yuan?) regarding a bike. Main points to consider are...
  18. Re: Opinions and suggestions on Adventure style motorcycles

    Well guys I pulled the trigger on a CoLove 500x today. Waited until too close to the Spring festival so can't get the insurance and plates for 7-10 days but I get the motorcycle tomorrow. Looks like...

    Re: New 500cc bikes

    Ngali,
    I've heard rumors and even suggestions that KTM was launching a 390 adventure. To my knowledge it hasn't actually launched anywhere as of yet. When I was at the KTM dealership earlier this...

    I did go to the Shinray/SWM dealership. They did have 2-3 scramblers on the floor. I thought I took pictures but can not find them so I guess I didn't. I was short on time and got...

  24. Re: Opinions and suggestions on Adventure style motorcycles

    ShuBen, That's a good point. I have thought of that at least a little. Given the CoLove has a Loncin motor that appears to have been around for some time I'd hope motor parts would be available. The...
