Perhaps Tug Valley High Schools Davey Jude is fortunate to pick up a golf club, let alone swing it well enough to earn a trip to the State Tournament. Two years after breaking both arms and both legs in a motorcycle accident, Jude finally has achieved a sought-after goal.

The big push reflected CFMOTO's aggressive plan to build its brand in the U.S. and elsewhere using a business model that is similar to the one used by the Japanese, but one that is unusual for Chinese factories. Instead of partnering with an importer/distributor based in the U.S. and selling machines under the partner's brand, CFMOTO has purchased 90 percent of its U.S. subsidiary and is building its brand.
