CFMOTO’s great-looking, well-designed motorcycles offer a premium experience for far less expense than its rivals in Singapore 

SINGAPORE –

Let’s face it: It’s a horrible time to be a motorcyclist in Singapore, what with COE prices – and bike prices – reaching all-time highs. 

We’ve all heard the horrifying refrain: “It costs what now?!” “It used to be (insert historical price here)!” But there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and no it’s not a train but a whole fleet of motorcycles from a new brand. They  combine emotive design, high quality, generous equipment, and performance, all for a price that means you don’t have to give up on your moto dreams: CFMOTO. 

CFMOTO : Not new to the moto game 

CFMOTO is a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer that just arrived in Singapore earlier this year – you can read CarBuyer’s full report on the brand for more information. 

While the relative novelty of Chinese motorcycles might cause some worry, it’s needless in this case. CFMOTO didn’t just suddenly decide to start making motorcycles, it’s actually been around for 33 years. It started out as a maker of ATV (all terrain vehicles) and then branched out to two-wheelers.

In fact, CFMOTO is a leading manufacturer of powersports (ie ATV and motorcycles) vehicles, and produces 600,000 vehicles a year. In some ATV markets, CFMOTO has outsold established brands from America and Japan. 

In other words, CFMOTO has the perfect background for a motorcycle manufacturer in terms of a technology/industrial base. That has allowed it to make an entire range of motorcycles, which in Singapore span all three motorcycle classes. 

Class 2B: 150NK
Class 2A: 300SR, 400NK, 400GT
Class 2: 650MT, 650NK, 650GT,  700 CL-X Heritage/Sport, 800MT

CFMOTO has also focused on developing reliable products, and supporting them with extensive aftersales and service support. In Singapore, CFMOTO stands fully behind its products with an industry-matching five-year (3+2) standard warranty – three years from the factory, plus two from the dealer. That’s a clear sign of a company that has confidence in it products.

How CFMOTO has become the foremost Chinese motorcycle maker 

CFMOTO has far more in common with Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers than you might think. If you look at its range (read more below), it focuses on large-capacity motorcycles that look good and perform well – in other words, CFMOTO is not a maker of budget bikes, not by a long shot. 

The company has found modest success in mature, first-world markets such as the USA, UK, and Australia, and one reason why is because it already knows how to make good-looking motorcycles. 

The brand’s small-capacity sportsbike, the 300SR, is a great example especially in its Moto3-derived livery. That helps highlight its lithe, athletic lines paired with and high-tech equipment and details including LED lights, digital display, upside-down forks, and high-quality chassis.

European quality at an affordable price 

CFMOTO has achieved design excellence by tapping into expert knowledge: The 800 MT adventure-tourer has been designed by Kiska Design – the same design firm that is owned by KTM Group, and has designed many of KTM’s motorcycles.

In fact, the 800MT epitomises CFMOTO’s approach of premium motorcycling paired with tremendous value. 

It has a modern, adventure-focused design with its tall stance, high-mount exhaust, and rugged looks. And the links to Europe don’t stop there – the 800MT’s engine is closely-related to the KTM 790 engine, and that’s entirely legal as CFMOTO is KTM’s joint venture partner in China. 

The 800MT also happens to be smashing value, with a list price under S$40,000 with COE in Singapore.

If you’re not current on what sort of equipment a European mid-weight adventure tourer should have, this is basically everything you should expect, and much more. 

Tie this in with the bike’s attractive price, and you have a package that’s unbeatable in terms of value, just like every other CFMOTO bike. CFMOTO isn’t just about ‘getting X features for Y dollars’, there’s a tangible sense of quality, and that real care, thought, and passion has gone into the making of CFMOTO’s bikes.
