CFMoto’s New Baby Cruiser Motorcycle Could Be the Perfect Beginner Bike

Ten years ago, if someone mentioned a Chinese motorcycle, chances are it was followed by an eye-roll. They were known as cheap knockoffs. Affordable, sure, but often plagued with questionable build quality, outdated tech, and styling that ranged from forgettable to downright weird. Brands like CFMoto were rarely taken seriously,…

While I adore the go-fast, send-it side-by-sides on the market—things like Can-Am's Maverick R and X3, as well as Polaris' Pro Rs—the world that birthed them isn't the one that we're living in any longer. The world's become much more expensive since the onslaught of sales occurred during the middle…
