I can’t say much about their motorcycle since I had not ride them. But if you know the standard of quality in China, the comment is certainly not too far off.

On the other hand, we want to give credit to some companies are proactive in catching up with the quality chasm. Maybe CFMOTO is one of them. The change of logo is an indication of that determination.

(Note: I do not know, own or have any relationship with CFMoto except as a casual observer.)

The company was founded in Bologna, Italy in 1930 by Antonino Malaguti to build bicycle.

With the onslaught of cheap scooters from Asian companies such as Kymco and Daelim as well as Chinese manufacturers, can Malaguti hold on?

While researching Lifan, the name Loncin turns up. According to the information source, Loncin is second after Lifan in terms of export quantity in 2004. The company is also based in Chongqin.

Production capacity per year is 1.5 million motorcycles. Motorcycles are exported to the UK, the US, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran, Nigeria, South Africa and Argentina.

For such a big company, they sure have a small web foot print. The unimpressive website is just a corporate profile hosted by online B2B marketplace GlobalSources.

Jiangsu Xinling Motorcycle Fabricate Co., Ltd

One thing you may notice about Xinling’s website. There isn’t a Chinese version!

It could probably mean that the company do not have significant market in China (unlikely) or website is a marketing tool specifically for export oriented international clients.

A search on Google turns up alot of export, sourcing site leading to not much information. The company website itself is buried deep in the search result.

Among Chinese motorcycle manufacturers, it is interesting to note that Zhongshen Motor has a MotoGP team. Are they the only one?

Xinfu Motor is the first motorcycle website encountered so far that is Firefox unfriendly.

This is especially common in China where cross-browser compatibility is nonexistant. Just like the the omnipotent authority that supervise all activities, the omnipresent Microsoft infiltrate all computer operation.

(Interesting how things are linked, we just mentioned Honda in the last manufacturer post.)

Sundiro-Honda has manufacturing base in Shanghai, Hainan and Tianjin. Production capacity is 1.5million unit per year.

Lifan and Honda are locked in trademark disagreement. When you arrive at their website, you will get a pop up with a letter from the company detailing the case.
