I know CF Moto pulled out of scooters but all advances will eventually benefit all of us.

A company like KTM doesn't just partner with anybody. The 390 Duke they mention has long been awaited by the Motorcycle Media in this Country. It's possible those CF Moto built machines will be the ones that come here.

I am sure that KTM will eventually grow bigger and better, KZ, but I will still miss their scooters...

As will I. I'm hoping that as CF Moto gets bigger, the scooters will return. They still make them, as you can see the V-5 and Jetmax are still being sold in Australia. I also saw a web site noting the E-Charm or some variant being sold in Eastern Europe or Indonesia or somewhere. I have a Fashion and it has been a joy so far.

I thought they gave up on scooters. My bad. Then let's hope new and improved scooters will find their way back to the states. I see more and more signs of people trending toward the comfort and ease of use of the scooter genre...

I thought the same thing until I stumbled onto the Australian site. I sent e-mails to CF Moto USA asking them why their web site isn't as good as the Australian one. They were polite, noted that they were in the process of updating the site and thanked me for my input. I'm hoping this is a growing pains thing.

I don't know if this will work but if you go to this page and put your cursor on the symbol under the last "O" in CF Moto it's their product list.

Like Aprilia, they are feeling the pressure of increased competition in the scooter market. Like all companies they must adjust their product line to stay in the black. I hope we see new scoots from both brands before too long.
