CFMoto 650NK sport bike

I think this also says good things about the future of motorcycling in China. I don't think CFMoto would investing in this bike and the domestic market if they felt it were being choked off. Perhaps they know something?
Would be a great time to interview the heads of CFMoto to ask that question. With cities banning bikes left and right, and bikes effectively firewalled from most expressways, meaning these bigger bikes have little room to run, why launch this bike now?
cheers

CFMoto don't have any intent to focus on the domestic market, nor any illusion as to the opposition that they face on multiple sides. While they do have principle dealers in most Chinese provinces and there are domestic dealers that carry or can order their stock, CFMoto are focused elsewhere in so much as they see the globe as the potential market, and I must say that just from my personal impressions they seem to be doing fairly well at it. Inevitably there have been a few hiccups along the way (i.e. newly arrived stock being was held by the American Authorities last year which CFMoto is pursuing for civil damages in the American courts, as one example) but they are committed to the European, Eastern caucuses, and Americas, less so in the Asia Pacific region (given that the market is exponentially smaller). As for the CFMoto presence in the domestic market, it's a pity at least round these parts that they don't have a dedicated domestic dealership network - but then given that the domestic market isn't their focus it's to be expected. The domestic market is a consequence of the global marketing strategy.

Given time, and a maturing of the market and motorcycling in China (and so to the automotive sector in general in PRC), there is bound to be some changes that are likely to bode well for motorcycles and two wheelers, not least being the significant increases in the cost of oil and getting it to market, and the possibility of scarcity - this can surely only be good for biking in general.
