CF Moto - Piaggio

[TN Mark]

Last week when I was in FL, I saw a Moto Guzzi dealer with interesting signage.

A large square CF Moto sign with much smaller Moto Guzzi and Aprilia signs on either side of the CF Moto sign.

Is there any collaboration between CF Moto and Piaggio? Did CF Moto invest in Piaggio? With the less than impressive state of Moto Guzzi sales, where’s the money coming from to completely upgrade the Moto Guzzi facts in Mandelo de Lario?

But the time I got to the FL dealer they were closed. The Atlanta dealer was really a Royal Enfield dealer with Vespa and a couple of Moto Guzzis.

Was this Dealership in Fort Myers?   If so, I'd stay away.  Me and the Service Manager about got into it over him not want to give me my 3 pieces of luggage for my 2024 V85TT.   Apparently he thinks he approves the deals for the Sales department and said "I dont get the boxes, in exchange for the break in service...  Parts manger went and got the boxes in "two shakes of a Lambs tail".   Also this dealer won't stock 10W60 oil, service hack/manager says 10W50 is better....    I know many dealers in the SW Florida, so I experience. Just ask.

Chang Jiang is the Chinese Co , high quality, and got a V7III motor for their new  sidecar rig a few years ago. Was 5 yrs after making parts for Guzzi. Seem kinda odd? Looks like a V85TT w/sidecar.

no relations between Piaggio and CFMoto.  That dealer is just trying to add new brands to the showroom.  Most MG dealers don't sell more than one a month, so they have to add some variety.

CFmoto has some interesting new models, and with their long standing deal with KTM and BMW, the brand has some consumer trust and sales momentum.  The brand is growing and selling bikes around here.

It was the dealer in Ormond Beach, just down the road from Venice Pizza. They were closed when I got to Venice Pizza last week.

Thank you for the data on the Fort Myers dealer.

Thank you Ed! I just want to add that in the last few months after getting my Eldorado 1400, each and every purchase I’ve made from A1 Racing has been excellent!

Thank you to you and the team for being such a solid dealer for Moto Guzzi.

I visited that dealer last year when I did my flying ride to purchase the Norge. Spent a few minutes talking to the sales and service staff, I wasn't impressed. But you have to admire anyone willing to take on the Moto Guzzi piaggio brand.

CF Moto had strategic contracts with KTM, but not with Piaggio.

No connection between CF Moto and BMW either. It's Loncin that makes BMWs parallel 800-900 twins in China.
