CFMoto’s new logo

One of my old post on CFMoto’s logo attracted some attention. Today 2 Stoke Buzz pointed to the logo as “solid clue towards the amount of careful thought that went into the machine“.

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.)

Italian Motorcycle Makers

As I was looking around at motorcycle websites, I realised that a number of well-known motorcycle brands are from Italy.

We just met Ducati in the last post and also Moto Guzzi. You must have also heard of Aprilia, Cagiva, Paiggio and Vespa.

I not sure about other part of the world, from where I came from the typical stereotype of different motorcycle makers are as follows.

The Italian bikes are known for their heart stopping design and pricy price. Japanese bikes for their cost and fuel efficiency. BMW for technology and Harley for the bad boy, rebel image.

Will take a look at them soon.
