New registrations for SFM motorcycles have, in just three months, outstripped the total 2012 sales of the German company’s former incarnation, Sachs.
Three Cross Motorcycles of Dorset, who have distributed the brand since 2002, report that 46 of the new ZX and ZZ 125 SFM Bikes have been registered since they arrived in the UK in June. This compares with 31 Sachs sales for the whole of last year, an increase of 50%.
Three Cross managing director Richard Davies said: “For the past two years all our Sachs registrations have come from residual stock of the Madass 125, while we waited for the all-new 125cc models to be produced. But it was worth the wait because they really hit the spot. Dealers have been registering bikes from the get go and our dealer network is expanding across the country, from the south coast up to the north-east. ”
“On top of that, the new SFM Roadster 125 arrived in the UK in August and dealer reaction has been extremely positive,” Davies added. “Currently retailing at £1399, this traditionally styled motorcycle qualifies as an A1 category learner machine but would also make a practical and economic commuter.
“Power is delivered by an air-cooled 11 HP 4-stroke engine through a 5-speed gearbox, while stopping power comes from a 240mm front disc brake. The Roadster has many practical features, including side and centre stands, rear luggage rack, gear indicator and a stainless steel silencer too.”
