Anyone have one? Seems older ones, pre '14 were not so good, but the new ones are gaining popularity with good reviews.

Not looking for "buy a Polaris, Honda, ECT. My cousins boyfriend's nephew" hated his...
Looking for real reviews from someone who owns one.

I don't have one, but my brother does.

His first ATV he purchased is a Polaris that he still has, and then he purchased a CF Moto. When he goes out it's always on the CF Moto. He is totaly impressed with it and how well it handles. It also comes with more accessories for less $ then the other brands.
I have ridden behind him on his Polaris and even though they are the same cc's it's hard to keep up with him.

If I was to purchase one it would be the CF Moto.

Hi Rob!
I've been keeping an eye on their UTV line-up for a while... Their quality seems to be pretty good: on a par with Kymco. :thumbup:

Now that I've had a chance to get to my computer: I'd like to expand a bit on this topic...
First: I'm not qualified to comment on the strength of the welding, but it does appear to not be as precise as what you'd see on a Honda....
(Let's use "Mother H" as the standard for this discussion)
In the same vein: switch operation is a bit less smooth, and the suspensions are a bit less refined.
But when you consider the pricing: they're certainly a very viable option. :thumbup:

Sonny-Boy is looking to buy a UTV for servicing his property, and he is seriously considering one of these.

I have a cf400. I bought it for less than the price of 3 year old Honda's and Kawasaki's. It was half the price of most other ATV. The machine is solid built, starts every time and will go any place any other ATV will go. It is not as fast as some of the others top speed is about 40mph on mine. Plenty fast to scare you silly. The paint and finish are as good as any. The rubber covers for things like the power plug and USB ports seem to rot faster than they should but other than that every thing still works. It is 2 years old. I don't remember the exact price but was less than $4000 out the door.

Under what conditions are you seeing these units fail?
Is it a case of a machine busting under severe conditions; or just a nice dirt road trail ride?

The price point is very attractive compared to the major manufacturers.

I've owned Honda, and Polaris. Loved the Honda, hated the Polaris, but that was a long time ago.

I looked at the CF 600. I was impressed with the looks of the machine.

Rob,
Did you sell the 550 Touring yet? I might have gotten somebody down here interested in it...

I've gotten two dealership wanting it, but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I'm waiting for paperwork. Should be in my hands in a week. I would rather sell it privately. Go ahead and give them my #.
