what to buy
« on: January 13, 2022, 09:50:12 AM »
hello everyone i hope all is well.

I live in East Tennessee, and have friends who take their RZR out riding alot, I want to join the fun, but i do not want to spend the money they spent. I thought about buying a ZForce 800 or 1000 because they are way cheaper. Would i be able to keep up with the rzrs? Would they last as long? I do like the rides, i like trail riding, hitting some mud and and some little hill climbing, i would never get crazy like some of them others do. Any advice on on these machines? Are they reliable?

thanks for the help.

The 800s are OK but the 1000s and the 950 is your best bet on well showing-up the RzRs. As with any off-road machine durability/longevity and reliability is dependent on usage and maintenance. These will hang in there as long as common sense is coupled with a good maintenance program....and there are no issues at the starting gate. :) Get the ZForce 950 sport..

No offence, but....     
(In English language, say something, then put a "but" after it which completely negates what is before the "but".  Screwy and true)

I disagree with basic premise to "showing up the RZRs".   These machines don't grow on trees and are a big chunk of $$.  If you run it in a "pi$$ing contest" mode, you may be sorry as you break something doing something pretty stupid. JMO.  I refer to the part: "reliability is dependent on usage ".

Buy what will fill your needs on size and fit a budget.  I gave up "monthly payments" for anything long ago, (for Lent) so I don't do "interest payments" any more.  Bigger is not always "Better".  Bigger engines take more fuel, so less range and so on. 

YMMV

What I meant, and didn't say, was the 950 is the newest design and addresses some of the previous design's short comings. The little extra IMO would be worth it.

I agree with the statement that longevity will depend on maintenance and usage. With that being said, I have the only Cfmotos in my group of riders. They ALL have their problems. My brother in law’s RZR turbo 1000 XP creeks and pops and sounds like crap on anything other than flat soft ground it also like to slip belts. My coworker’s  Honda Talon has electrical problems and eats batteries. The dealer can’t figure out why and simply put a cut off switch on it. The Can-Am machines break U-joints and drive yolks. My machines are newer and have low hours so time will tell. Service it and ride. Buy what you like and can afford.

I had a CF Moto for a couple years. I has a Zforce 800 EX. I actually really liked my car. It was very dependable and never let me down. I had no problems keeping up with my buddies and the RZR's. Just keep in mind it is a trail machine, not a race machine. I eventfully rolled it and it was totaled. I would have bought another one but there were no dealerships within 300 miles of me. I ended up getting a Honda Talon.
I would absolutely recommend a CF Moto to someone who wants to save some cash.
