These bikes look sharp and are designed by the guys behind CCW some of the coolest motorcycles we've seen in a long time.
I like what I see. First off it's not your traditional low end bike, they have unique parts and unique engine designs you won't get from the run of the mill cheap Chinese parts company. They have parts in these scooters which are custom made to their specs. Everything I have heard about the designers equals quality.

Andrettis sue Power Sports Factory
MORE ON THE POWERSPORTS FACTORY SCOOTERS PFS SAGA!
From DealerNews.com
Famed racers Mario, John and Jeff Andretti and the company they formed as a vehicle for endorsements are suing Power Sports Factory and its former CEO and president, claiming the company hasn’t paid them for their endorsements of Chinese Benelli and Yamati motorcycles and scooters.
The complaint, filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, alleges breach of two contracts, fraud, fraudulent inducement and violation of the Andrettis’ right to publicity – the unlawful use of their names and likenesses – against Pennsauken, N.J.-based Power Sports Factory, CEO Shawn Landgraf and president Steve Rubakh.
The Andrettis – Formula One and Indianapolis 500 champion Mario, his youngest son Jeff and nephew John – say they weren’t paid for their endorsements and that Power Sports Factory continued to use them after the Andrettis terminated the contracts under which they were licensed.
The Andrettis’ company. Andretti IV, signed contracts to endorse the bikes in 2007, letting Power Sports Factory use their “name, image, likeness, audio, audio visual recordings, logos, photographs, signatures, initials, endorsements and biographical information” to promote the branding and sale of Andretti lines.
The contracts called for Andretti IV to receive $60 per Andretti Benelli and $30 for each Andretti Yamati vehicle that Power Sports Factory sold, with minimum payments of $500,000 a year for Benelli contract and $300,000 for the Yamati contract, starting in the second calendar year of the deals, according to the lawsuit.
Power Sports Factory had the right to terminate either 10-year deal after the third contract year if it didn’t sell at least 8,334 Andretti Benellis and 10,000 Andretti Yamatis in each contract year.
Andretti IV terminated both contracts Feb. 1, 2010, for nonpayment, and alleges Power Sports Factory continued to use the endorsements, pictures and Andretti name in magazine, catalog and online ads after that.
Andretti IV claims the defendants ignored demands for payment and never intended to pay them for the use of their family brand. They’re seeking unspecified damages in excess of $25,000 on each of seven claims in the case.
Efforts to reach Landgraf and Rubakh for comment were unsuccessful.
According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Purchase Point Media, a provider of a shopping cart advertising systems, saw Power Sports Factory as a potential revenue generator and bought the company in April 2007 in a stock swap. Such transactions are a common tactic to shore up an existing company’s balance sheet and give new companies quicker access to equity markets. Rubakh got 60 million shares – 60 percent of the company – in the deal; the other shareholders were all Canadian interests.
The company claimed three non-director employees and relationships with “over 100 dealers.” It recorded an operating loss of $2,253,049 for 2007.
Starting in November 2008 the company was late with its quarterly financial reports to the SEC nearly every quarter, always citing the same reason: documents under Landgraf’s signature gave the explanation that “Management is in the process of finalizing the operating results of the [period]. The information could not be assembled and analyzed without unreasonable effort and expense to the Registrant. The Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as practicable and within the 5 day extension period.”
PSF got a boost from a $1 million revolving line of credit from Crossroads Debt LLC in early 2009 but was in trouble again soon after.
In December 2009, the company reported $1.46 million in assets against $6.4 million in liabilities.
By last April CEO Landgraf told the SEC that he was quitting the failing company at the end of June, but said he would continue to “work with the board in the transition period.”
Then in a final status report filed with the SEC last Oct. 22, Landgraf gave notice that Power Sports Factory was done:
“The company is by letter advising its vendors, suppliers and shareholders that the company has closed its business due to financial difficulties,” the statement reads. “The company has sold the balance of its inventory and has distributed the proceeds to its secured lender. At this time, the company does not anticipate that there will be any funds available to pay the company’s unsecured creditors.”
The case is Andretti IV v. Power Sports Factory, No. 110103276.

Kymco continues sponsoring Professional Race Teams
I have got to give it to the guys at Kymco USA.
Most of the US Scooter industry has been taking a back step when it comes to promotions or helping dealers in 2009 - 2010 yet the company continues to push ahead with newer models, upgraded engines, and new tech. While SYM has been leaving the market and other Taiwanese importers have just been changing plastics and colors, maybe adding a big bore cylinder or two these guys have sponsored events, dealer open houses, sent out the $100,000 truck to promote, and continuously pushed into the NASCAR and NHRA community. While others retreat they have been pushing ahead and I like that, I like it a lot.
They have a plan and in my opinion it's been about becoming the 5th first tier OEM. Where the Japanese brands (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki) have largely ignored scooters at a grass roots level these guys have made it no secret they have aimed for the American heartland. From Homestead Speedway to the Indy Car league they have been at the races time and time again. Most scooter companies wouldn't think of this when drawing up their marketing strategies, but it goes to the root of American culture. Americans love cars and it's a strategy I pursued in the past when attempting to link up with Ferrari and Ducati North America when I was promoting Italian racing with Malaguti back in the day. Honda used to promote their units in the early 90s at races but quickly let that market fade. There is no American made scooter, and you fail to see Yamaha or any other major promoting its units in the pits so Kymco has taken advantage of what I consider the biggest gap in the market. They are seen and heard at every premier race car series in the US now.
By focusing on direct event consumer marketing they have created a strong brand in the minds of riders in the heartland. I cannot think of anyone who has consistently organized so many testing demos since Piaggio launched. The thing about Piaggio is most of their promotions and strategies are always LA or NYC based, they never really did anything in the last ten years in Daytona or Dayton Ohio. Kymco went for the gut of America and by setting up test drives in far away places they have actually held on to market share while others are retreating. Makes perfect sense when you think about the cost of one Los Angeles promotion could easily pay for twenty race events around the country. On site test drives and pushing into the NHRA has been a great strategy.
I have a feeling these efforts will pay off as more Americans look at buying scooters now that gas prices are going up.
From KYMCOUSA.com
KYMCO, the official ATV and scooter sponsor of the NHRA, will support R2B2 Racing and its four professional race teams in 2011.
The team is headlined by Melanie Troxel’s In-N-Out Burger Funny Car. It also includes three Pro Mod entries that will compete in the Get Screened America Pro
Mod Drag Racing Series. R2B2 Racing owner/driver Roger Burgess, Troxel, fellow team driver Brad Personett and their personnel will use KYMCO scooters at 22 NHRA events and 10 Pro Mod races in 2011, according to a report on the NHRA’s website.
The agreement, which runs for two years, also places KYMCO logos on Troxel’s Funny Car and Pro Mod car, Burgess’s ProCar Rx Pro Mod Camaro and Personett’s turbo-charged R2B2 Racing hot rod.
“We’re very pleased to welcome KYMCO into our racing family,” Burgess told the NHRA. “They are great people to work with and they make fantastic scooters. There’s a reason they’ve become the must-have piece of equipment on the NHRA tour.”

Most of the US Scooter industry has been taking a back step when it comes to promotions or helping dealers in 2009 - 2010 yet the company continues to push ahead with newer models, upgraded engines, and new tech. While SYM has been leaving the market and other Taiwanese importers have just been changing plastics and colors, maybe adding a big bore cylinder or two these guys have sponsored events, dealer open houses, sent out the $100,000 truck to promote, and continuously pushed into the NASCAR and NHRA community. While others retreat they have been pushing ahead and I like that, I like it a lot.
They have a plan and in my opinion it's been about becoming the 5th first tier OEM. Where the Japanese brands (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki) have largely ignored scooters at a grass roots level these guys have made it no secret they have aimed for the American heartland. From Homestead Speedway to the Indy Car league they have been at the races time and time again. Most scooter companies wouldn't think of this when drawing up their marketing strategies, but it goes to the root of American culture. Americans love cars and it's a strategy I pursued in the past when attempting to link up with Ferrari and Ducati North America when I was promoting Italian racing with Malaguti back in the day. Honda used to promote their units in the early 90s at races but quickly let that market fade. There is no American made scooter, and you fail to see Yamaha or any other major promoting its units in the pits so Kymco has taken advantage of what I consider the biggest gap in the market. They are seen and heard at every premier race car series in the US now.
By focusing on direct event consumer marketing they have created a strong brand in the minds of riders in the heartland. I cannot think of anyone who has consistently organized so many testing demos since Piaggio launched. The thing about Piaggio is most of their promotions and strategies are always LA or NYC based, they never really did anything in the last ten years in Daytona or Dayton Ohio. Kymco went for the gut of America and by setting up test drives in far away places they have actually held on to market share while others are retreating. Makes perfect sense when you think about the cost of one Los Angeles promotion could easily pay for twenty race events around the country. On site test drives and pushing into the NHRA has been a great strategy.
I have a feeling these efforts will pay off as more Americans look at buying scooters now that gas prices are going up.
From KYMCOUSA.com
KYMCO, the official ATV and scooter sponsor of the NHRA, will support R2B2 Racing and its four professional race teams in 2011.
The team is headlined by Melanie Troxel’s In-N-Out Burger Funny Car. It also includes three Pro Mod entries that will compete in the Get Screened America Pro
Mod Drag Racing Series. R2B2 Racing owner/driver Roger Burgess, Troxel, fellow team driver Brad Personett and their personnel will use KYMCO scooters at 22 NHRA events and 10 Pro Mod races in 2011, according to a report on the NHRA’s website.
The agreement, which runs for two years, also places KYMCO logos on Troxel’s Funny Car and Pro Mod car, Burgess’s ProCar Rx Pro Mod Camaro and Personett’s turbo-charged R2B2 Racing hot rod.
“We’re very pleased to welcome KYMCO into our racing family,” Burgess told the NHRA. “They are great people to work with and they make fantastic scooters. There’s a reason they’ve become the must-have piece of equipment on the NHRA tour.”

Magazine, and Joel Martin, president of Martin Racing Performance. The roundtable will discuss current and forecasted sales for imported scooter brands from Europe and Asia.

Maintaining a Profitable Scooter Shop
Friday and Saturday, National Powersport Auction’s Justyn Amstutz personally takes the stage to deliver two informative seminars on the pre-owned market and maneuvering through a used vehicle auction. NPA will conduct a live auction of more than 100 powersports vehicles Saturday afternoon at Dealer Expo. (Amstutz will provide a 30-minute warm-up session that includes a “mock” practice auction before the live auction begins.)
In “How a Vehicle Auction Works,” presented at 11 a.m. Friday, Amstutz will educate dealers on how to buy and sell pre-owned vehicles using a live auction. Attendees will learn where auction vehicles come from, transportation considerations, and how to prepare financially for an auction, according to Amstutz.
“The Pre-Owned Vehicle Market,” presented twice – Friday at 2 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m. – will cover the macroeconomic conditions of the used-vehicle industry and how they influence a dealership’s bottom line.
All NPA seminars as well as the mock and live auctions will be held at Booth 4172 on the exposition floor.
These sessions are free to registered dealer attendees of Dealer Expo 2011. For more information, visit www.dealerexpo.com. And when you’re in Indy, check your morning copy of the Dealer Expo Show Daily, produced by the editors at Dealernews, for updates.

MARTIN RACING PERFORMANCE BOOTH 5379 NEXT TO THE NEW CPI SCOOTER DISTRIBUTOR FOR 2011 PIT MOTORS LTD, CCW MOTORCYCLES AND MORE!
COME SEE THE FULL RANGE OF CPI SCOOTERS, NG DISK, TURBO KIT EXHAUSTS AND MORE!
This year you will see some amazing new scooters and bikes from CCW, PIT MOTORS, CPI SCOOTERS, QJ AND MORE. We will have on display the latest in Scooter Wear Tech including Armadillo Jackets ( the only scooter jacket company in the US that isn't consumer direct THATS RIGHT YOU CAN ONLY BUY IT AT A DEALER ) plus more parts than anyone at DEALER EXPO. Plus unlike everyone else in the scooter business we don't have a store so you have to buy from one of our dealers. Wholesale only means wholesale only so what more could you want as a shop owner ( I know this upsets people but if they actually cared maybe they should care about the dealers so let's call it as it is, if a dealer wants to stay in business be smart promote companies that promote you THE DEALER ) thats why you have to come to booth 5379 and pickup some of the best stuff available for your scooter shop including NG DISK BRAKES, TURBO KIT, SCOOTER NINJA, ESP BELTS, MRP UPGRADES, AND MUCH MUCH MORE! We have parts from Polini, Doppler, Malossi, Namura, DAYCO and more! Come and see the latest brands on display at booth 5379.
As of right now we have over 30,000 parts for sale. Half are still being added on a daily basis, but we're the only company that carries the best European brands as well as Asian models. As you can see we have OEM Hyosung, OEM United Motors, CPI ( from TAIWAN) , Diamo, TNG, Malaguti ( MADE IN ITALY ) and many OEM brands dealers can't get anywhere else. Upgrades for the Honda Zoomer / Ruckus, Silverwing, Suzuki Burgman, and the entire Kymco series including the best selling Quanon exhaust ( Ask Kymco USA who is using the MRP Quanon Exhaust in their fleet demo ) So if you want to upgrade your Kymco don't ask us, ask the Kymco USA marketing manager who happens to use a TK Quanon exhaust on his new bike.
Dealers have a hard time running a shop and they really shouldn't have to have so much trouble to find a Genuine supplier of OEM parts for their clients, but the truth is there is a lot of misinformation out there. For every store that knows us I still hear from one or two shops that call and say "I never heard of you guys" or my favorite "I was told by so and so that you only had a few parts." Part of this is the nature of our business. Small shops don't have time to read every industry publication, stay on top of the emails, posts online, nor do they research when competitors and companies have employees posting fake reviews on message boards. I see a lot of small guys online selling out of their house pretending to be big companies ruining the market for dealers or worse simply dropshipping from larger MRP dealers and other distributors like Tucker Rockey and WPS.

So just wanted to give you a preview of what we are working on and a look back at ten years of our family at the dealer Expo.


Running a motorcycle or scooter shop is one of the few jobs that requires you to be all things at once. A parts expert, a salesperson, a strategist, a marketing guru, and deal with 100 suppliers. You could sell ice cream all day and only deal with 20 flavors but selling motorcycles or scooters you have a 1,000 jobs. So information is key thats why we put over 150 manuals on our website for free. IF YOU DONT HAVE THE PART NUMBER EMAIL US A PICTURE WITH MEASUREMENTS, YOUR DEALER NAME, A PHONE NUMBER, AND WE WILL HELP YOU.


Another reason I want to show how open we are about what we sell is that the market fall of 2009 at least allowed us to see behind the smoke and mirrors when these former employees would apply for jobs and tell us "oh my job was to tell people that you didn't have the real parts, I'm sorry that's what the boss told me." My personal favorite story to tell now is when I walked into a distributor that just folded and on the desk was a yellowpad with "Alias" names for online emails, passwords, and the message boards they frequented to hype up the brand. Funny thing is after some time dealers realize all these positive reviews online of a cheap scooter can't be real. This lack of scruples amazes me so I have to be open about it and show the dealers we got parts, and we don't have anything to hide. We don't have everything and if we don't have it we will tell you who does. For every fake consumer or message board guy who has an agenda or an advertiser who doesn't know what we sell, we put it out there.
We have OEM real factory parts not the cheap Chinese guys that sell imitation parts " Zymco and Zyco" these are made by Kymco, Malaguti, SYM, TGB, Piaggio ( yes Vespa / Aprilia / Derbi ), Hyosung, real factories in Korea, Italy, Taiwan, Japan plus we have OEM Chinese parts from the distributors we've added in the last two years including LINHAI, LONCIN, JINCHENG, WANGYE, BZ Benzhou, QJ Qiangjiang ( Benelli, Andretti, Vento, UM ) plus CF MOTO ( CFMOTO USA, QLINK, TNG, YAMATI ) and ZNEN (TNG / PUMA / Flyscooters / BMS / Qlink ) just to name a few.

So if you're a dealer and you ever visit us, you will see we have real OEM stuff from real factories. From brand names in Europe like Turbo Kit exhausts all the way to Benelli ( Andretti ) scooter parts. Items that cannot take generic partsforchinese scooter parts. You won't get this stuff from anyone else, not Parts Unlimited, Tucker, or WPS. MRP is the only place for these items so don't be fooled by what you hear, we have it, let me show you.

Real Brand and Real Parts we're not affraid to compare numbers here, if your dealership needs parts it amazes us that dealers buy from online distributors only to have them dropped shipped from MRP
Our first show was in 2001 exhibiting the Malaguti line of Italy. Boy have we grown since then.....
