Dear ckcisme1966; I have two 2020 cforce500's and a cforce600 2 up, 2019.
I'm in MA and bought them from dealer right over border in ME. 6k each for 500's and $6300 for 6oo w camo.
I've done 200 miles in NH and ME and the trails have have been tons of rock and even snow ice in November, no issues.
I tried looking at Polaris bt why the extra money for less, they have a ton of issue just like every other manufacturer!
The only other brand i liked but still too much $$$ was suzuki, but old story.
The quality of cfmoto is there and i can attest first hand so get over the "Chinese" thing, they've conquered that battle ages ago, there not a Chinese throw away unit at all.
My only advice being in the NE,******Make sure you put skid plates on ASAP!***** the trails in the NE are going to smash up the bottom is no time and that's you being very careful, but no choice. I did IronBaltic, no issues just check my past posts on the hellish ride i had with another company.
Oh ya, I got the battery warranty for $100. and replaced one already with a yuesa battery, and the 350.00 extended warranty which covers everything for 5-6years, so if a kid smashes up an a-arm or rolls it or something bizarre with the computer., or fuel injection, ect.... I'm just dropping it off and sayin fix-it!
Hope this helps, LMK how you make out, make sure you buy from a big dealer on this brand so you get the pro service you deserve in case.
Sorry so long....GLuck
