CPI, Daelim, Italjet, CF MOTO, Malaguti, Keeway we have it all!
MRP has added more parts to its lineup to be the number one source of all scooters items. Some distributors carry Chinese or European scooter parts, but MRP is the only company in the USA the covers the full range.
MRP has recently acquired the CPI parts warehouse (CPI Taiwan Scooters and ATVs)
MRP earlier this year acquired parts from the now-closed QJ - Keeway warehouse and product from the defunct Diamo USA/LS Motorsports. The company also has OEM parts for Malaguti, MH, RX, Loncin, Lifan, Linhai, Zonshen, MS UTVs, and distributes aftermarket parts from Athena, Malossi, Turbo Kit, Innova, Vee Rubber, Namura, Scooter Ninja, Slipstreamer and MRP's house brand.

MRP Renews 2010 Agreement with Zongshen of America Inc.
In order to meet the growing demands of the US market MRP has agreed to become the secondary supplier to all Zongshen and US Scooter dealers distributing first tier and secondary tier distribution of parts.
Currently the second largest source of Zongshen Scooter parts in the US - MRP is the only distributor to now be carrying parts for both the ZMD branded scooters and some of the newer Piaggio - Zongshen partnership scooters (New Piaggio scooters made by Zongshen)
MRP will continue to expand its relationship in the months of July and August 2009 you can expect to see new Zongshen 200cc and 250cc motorcycle, dirt, and scooter parts on the MRP site.
MRP also carries all the 50cc and 150cc parts for the Zongshen scooters carried by Baja Motorsports the private label group of Pep Boys Auto. Pep Boys is a non traditional retail location in the powersports industry but in recent years has moved into non-dealer powersports items that do not require dealership licensing in most states such as off-road only products and 49cc scooters. In some states they carry buggies, ATVs, scooters and many of these products are supplied by Zongshen to Baja Motorsports. The big box chain currently has approximately 6,000 service bays within over 560 retail stores located in 35 states and Puerto Rico.
MRP will offer parts to third parties who carry or repair the Baja - Zongshen made line sold by Pep Boys.

How to look up parts from MRP
If you need CF MOTO 150cc parts, TNG parts, CPI, Diamo, Italjet, Malaguti more than likely your local shop might not know how to get these parts.
Well there's a simple way. Have them call us or visit one of our online stores that sell MRP.
By visiting our repair manual section at www.mrp-speed.com you can get all the OEM part numbers and help your dealer in the ordering process. Many stores aren't even aware that we've taken over distribution for so many lines this year.
So be it a Malaguti Yesterday or CPI GTR if we have the part there is only one way to find it and thats with the OEM number from the manuals. Click here click on places to buy or repair manuals and that will lead you in the right direction.

MRP Grows in Down Market
Article Reprinted from Guido Eberts Powersports Blog
U.S. Scooter Industry Experiences Downturn
While 2008 marked a high point for scooter sales in the United States, the scooter industry in 2009 experienced many changes with several brands filing bankruptcy, modifying their operations or leaving the market entirely.
Scooter sales through the first nine months of 2009 were down 62 percent or 42,939 units compared to the first nine months of 2008, according to figures compiled by the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), the trade organization representing sales of its members, including Aprilia, Honda, Piaggio, Suzuki, Vespa and Yamaha. MIC members sold 26,288 scooters during the first nine months of 2009, down from 69,227 units during the same nine-month period in 2008.
But the MIC member brands are only a fraction of all scooters sold in the U.S. A plethora of other brands, most sourced from China and other countries in Asia, have also had a rough go of it. For them, economic difficulties have forced a wide range of responses: Taiwan’s TGB plans to establish a TGB office stateside to take care of EPA, CPSC and regulatory work and is seeking a potential partner; SUNL, a large well-known Chinese scooter brand, recently regrouped under a new name, Massimo Motors; Tank Sports, Inc. closed its operation; and Power Sports Factory, selling bikes under the Andretti brand name, continues to be involved in a funding quagmire.
“Not since Daelim closed its doors in late 2008 has such upheaval been occurring in the U.S. scooter market,” says my friend Joel Martin, owner of Martin Racing Performance (MRP). “All in all, the boom of 2008 – boosted by high fuel prices – experienced a downturn in 2009.”
Martin is the former importer of Malaguti scoots, MH Motorcycles and SYM scooters, and has most recently focused on importing and distributing replacement and performance parts. This year his company expanded by acquiring the warehouse and store of Keeway Southeast and parts from Diamo, CPI USA and TNG.
Martin says most of the analysts he has talked with agree that scooter sales will not soon return to the numbers experienced in early 2008, “with some predicting slower sales in 2010 unless consumer lending and high gas prices return.”
