CF Moto? Anyone know anything?

[Jeff Johnston]

Looking to buy a new utility SXS, but rest assured my cheap ass aint' payin' 35K for a Polaris NorthStar. But I've noticed a new brand called CF Moto for quite a bit less. I believe they are made in China. I do know one friend that has one, and he's happy with it but he's only had it for a couple months. Anyone got any goods?

If you dont care about having an enclosure with heat and air, I would strongly recommend the Honda Pioneer 1000. Mine has been absolutely problem free at 4500 miles.

My buddy got a CF Moto ATV. He's a cheap asshole who usually buys used shit, and complains about everything. But he bought the ATV new and has nothing but good things to say about it. Considering getting one myself as the dealer is close to my house.

My cousin works on small engines and UTVs, and highly recommends CF Moto (he doesn't sell them, so he's got no incentive to recommend them). I just bought a brand new one and they are awesome. Great price, great quality. Do it!

Great stuff. thanks for the input. I have heard of that honda... and that its shaft drive system is better than belt driven like all the others... And I've yet to hear anything shitty about the CF Moto.. although we'll have to see in 10 more years...

No matter what you pick, think about dealer network and support, parts availability, aftermarket support (trust me you’ll get the bug to customize it) and resale value. Message me if you want. I’ve dove down this rabbit hole researching various side by side’s recently when I bought mine.

I have a uforce 1000 xl. Love it. Did replace a few parts ($1000 or so) to help ride smoother, but for the money it is one to consider for sure.

Can-Am
Went down this rabbit hole after Dad died in '22, lifelong Polaris family as one of his friends was a Dealer. Little brother got all the toys, so I went Polaris shopping. Yup, a little sticker shock there as Dad had always just bought from Jeff, had a whole fleet for decades. The standard "options" on Can Am blew me away; 3 levels of power steering assist, engine braking, and engine power modes, at your fingertips. The shift linkage swap is all that's needed ($35 part), really, maybe install some Fox shocks later....this is just a base model quad, but an 850 L-Twin?! Wtfbh is Polaris doing? IDK, don't need to know, I'm familiar with the Ducati-based L-twins to know what I like.

Back in the day the range pop-ups at Fort lost in the woods were Ivan and Mao dolls with little red stars on their helmets. Still will not purposefully give $$$ to China. YMMV....
