CFMoto 500SR Voom

Post by KungFooBob »



Silly name, similar styling to the XSRGP from what you can actually see in the video.

I want one, based entirely on the way the headlamps come on (they also appear to be air intakes too).

So... it has a 500 IL4 engine.
That's already very interesting.

I quite like that, despite mild trypophobia.

I think we're getting to a tipping point for Chinese bikes - interesting in their own right rather than crappy odd-looking knock-offs.

I suppose it's a teaser, gets people talking.

Looks nice, but it'll probably blow to bits/fall apart and the depreciation will be horrific..

Probably no more than the KTMs and BMWs they make.


Then again.... :lol:

I found it didn't matter about the lighting, just keep drinking until everything comes into the right focus :lol:

On that matter, took my brother (and a mate) away for his 50th to Whitstable last Friday. Plan was all day pub crawl ending in the Neptune on the beach. Saturday morning me and my mate were saying how we'd failed to get to the Neptune having got as far as a few at the beach bar next door. About an hour later seems my bro and my mate had pics of us in the Neptune...we remembered once we saw the evidence but it was all very very hazy. There are a lot of pubs in Whitstable :obscene-drinkingcheers:

I have a friend down there. I was amazed at how many pubs there are in the town.

I really like the look of that, as far as it goes- will be interested in seeing it up close and how it goes, if it makes it to the UK :thumbup:
