Are the Freerides made in India?


The 200 Duke sells in Malaysia, it is made in India and sells for….
21,390.00 MYR = 41,313.80 CNY


Compare the two Import markets from the same export country…


Chinese Duty and Tax:
Motorcycle has an import duty rate of 45% and VAT rate of 17%, Consumption Tax rate is 10%. According to Chinese laws and Regulation for Compulsory Product Certification, importation of this item may be subjected to CCC (China Compulsory Certification) certificate.


Malaysian Duty and Tax:
Motorcycle has an import duty rate of 30% , excise fee of 30% and VAT rate of 10%.


If they are going to be manufacturing the units in China they will be making a substantial profit. That was likely the deal that CFMOTO presented, in why pay the tax to the PRC we can make them and you can give us that 45%? The offer that CFMOTO likely made or had to beat was the price at the border coming out of India…they had to beat the landing costs.


That’s the bubble, it endures until somebody offers a better bike for less.


The 200 really is not worth 6K
The 300 really is not worth 8K


The GW250 pricing is more realistic and would have similar production costs, it also has a similar business model. The Chinese model is not less expensive, it is actually inefficient, it has to many players. The partnering raises production costs and in that causes inflated retail prices.
