    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Dear 998S,

    The bike you, TB-Racing and I saw back in January 2012 may have been an early test build. I'm not making any claims about the bike in its current production state, and should have made...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    I test rode the Benelli here in Shanghai about 18 months ago, and posted about it in MCM. Build quality was dodgy. The bike had been dropped once at slow speed (by another test rider!) and the...

    Qianjiang/Benelli 4-cylinder vs CFMoto twin: Twice as much to go wrong! Sixteen valves? Maybe that's why they're limiting its revs...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Good time to launch a fresh thread on how to do this, given the numbers of 650NKs that apparently are being sold into Oz.


    Are these all retarded LAMS bikes?
    How long do you have to wear the...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Sounds downright totalitarian-ist.

    Is there no way to check with the legal importers in Australia? Surely this cannot be the case -- a 650cc bike being permanently retarded to the performance of a...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Sounds like all you need to do is lay your hands on a stock ECU from CFMoto.

    How long do you have to wait for the LAMS punishment to be lifted? Six months? A year? Or is it conditioned on your...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Surely the best way to understand the difference between a stock 650NK and the retarded version being sold as a learner's bike in (a seeming nannystate known as) Australia would be to do a...

    As for the risks of riding 沪C plates into downtown Shanghai, your mileage may vary. Milton's been commuting into Puxi daily on a 沪C for a couple of years and, well, knock on wood; he's had a very...

    Re: CFMoto 650s

    Dear Rewi,

    Interesting riff on the CF650. You'll be interested to know that we've been hearing rumors for two years about a CFMoto dual sport built around this 650 twin, but to date they are just...

    Dear Micah,

    Here's a rack for the 650NK for 600 rmb that could get you started. Panniers are extra.

    cheers

    Dear Brad,

    Welcome to MyChinaMoto, and congratulations on your new bike. Are you saying that the 650NK comes with some kind of performance retarder when sold in Australia? Why? Under what...

    Re: Steve's CFMoto 650 NK(春风 650 NK)

    Sorry I failed to make myself clear. I'm just curious to know how there can be two companies called Ducati in the motorcycle space, and how big Ducati tolerates this. Or perhaps little Ducati is a...

    I'm with Bikerdoc on this. No way you should accept this kind of service. CFMoto is better than most in customer service, but here you are dealing with a crappy dealer. You should make an attempt...
