I recently discovered the new 2022 Cforce 500 is not for sale in California. I contacted CFMOTO and got the following response...

Thank you for your inquiry about the CFMOTO vehicles in California. CFMTO is still awaiting some our units to being CARB – Qualified. We have submitted our MY22 units to US Homologation for approval. We don't have any specific timeline as it is a larger process that is out of our control. We have been qualified in the past, so there shouldn't be an issue with approval for these models as well. Unfortunately, due to it be out of our control, we can't provide information regarding when approval may take place. We're sorry this wasn't the answer you were hoping for but thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get this done in a timely manner.

So I'm now faced with either going to Nevada to buy one of wait for California to process their approval, which God only knows how long that will take.

Then your direction is clear...if you want one in the next 12-18 months...but know you will have to register it in CA and compliance may be a problem.

It's gonna be used exclusively on our ranch, so I'm not too worried about it.

This was more for anyone in California wanting to buy one.
