I did a lot of study before buying one.
I think many of the common issues are with the individual dealers.
I "had the money" but didn't want to buy a cast off gift horse.
I picked up a new 22 Cforce 800xc and well, I don't sleep with it but I am really happy with it.
I needed a workhorse/toy - well, WANTED one and after reading tons of reviews (literal months).
Ive been trying to get a used one or auction sale for a bit now and got tired of being five minutes late or watching the auction sites go into an idiot frenzy paying more for used ones than new ones.
So after months of thought and more review reading . .
I bought mine.
I wasn't looking for "hot rod tire burner", I was looking for a working ATV that I could go play in the woods with too.
I am at this point, (near 300 miles now) completely happy with it and have found that it is also pretty easy to work on.
Easy enough to where I actually look forward to doing the maintenance and modding things to my satisfaction,
I think CFMoto is SERIOUS about building a good machine and doing better.
