Trip to CFMOTO in China

Here are a few pictures from the trip we went on to China to visit the CFMOTO factory. While we were there to see about ATV production CFMOTO also makes the 250cc motors that are in the Phantom snowmobiles.

Here is the entrance to the plant. This is only one building of many on site.
