#11 Re: CFMOTO to pay $725,000 EPA fine for importing non-certified vehicles04-15-2014, 07:31 AM
@650TR Rider So sorry to hear about your misfortune.
I was recently in Canada and noticed that CFMOTO is now selling the two 650s.
The 650NK at $7,200 Canadian, which is about 41,500 rmb:

and the 650TK at $8,200 Canadian, which is about 46,500 rmb:

A couple of comments:
1) Those Canadian import prices are comparable to the prices found in the domestic Chinese marketplace, VERY unlike the Chinese prices for the bikes imported into China; and,
2) The CFMOTO bikes will have a very difficult time competing with other bikes in the 650cc class, such as the V-Strom (with the current year's model sold for around $7,999, and the prior year models on close-out for $6,999, or less).
It seems that CFMOTO, in Canada, is focusing more on ATVs. But again, CFMOTO's ATV prices are comparable to the ATVs offered by more well-known brands out of Japan, the USA and Canada.
As bikerdoc notes, back in Canada I would not give CFMOTO any consideration. Maybe at half the price ... hmmmm, probably not even at half the price, because bikes are not a major expense in Canada. Even premier bikes in Canada are "affordable" (e.g., a brand new 2013 Pikes Peak works out to about 100,000 rmb on clearance, versus at least 350,000 rmb in China). And plates are only $25 ... and there are no silly motorcycle regulations ... and people are courteous drivers. Ah, I could go on.
