Lifan 200 - I'm getting desperate

[caseye]

Have to say having owned a near new ( Got it as a 2008 in early 2009) TLC 250 LF for the past three years , that it has never missed a beat. Been down three times, twice without a scratch. came through a very hard meeting with the road needing only a new headlight and other minor bits and pieces.Tracks perfectly rides nice and maintains a good 110- or more if required.
Been a brilliant learning bike for the wife.
Not for sale yet as it's my current ride until the coal burner rises from the ashes, but she will be for sale in the not to distant future.
Don't hesitate to buy one of these if it looks OK and rides OK it probably is OK.

Interesting that most who have said not to buy the lifan have probably never owned or even ridden one.

I had a Zonshen gy200 & it performed faultlessly, right up until it was written off in an oops. The price was a consideration in the deal & @ half the price of the equivilent japanese bike was good value for money.

I have never even heard of a lifan so it must be a waste of space in the motorcycle world.

Wait a minute, so you're saying that because you've never heard of one , they're nothing,no good, useless pieces of shiete?
Nice, cheers mate.
As Martin, Jafar for those who may not know, said above.The opinions of most arseholes seem to be coming from those who've never owned or operated said bikes. I posted because I have and to date it's been a bloody beautiful little piece of kit.

Some of us arseholes speak from knowledge gained from 'operating' in a literal sense.

Butt I too have an opinion and I am allowed to take an exception to uninformed unfounded slandering.

Pit bike well i didn't even pay for it. So far ive had to replace every bearing make better shock bushes Match the intake to the head because it was 5mm out and rewire it. the list goes on and on Good thing i payed nothing for the pice of china shit. BTW the RRP on said pit bike is around 2.5g

When your wonder full lifan's can clock up over 120,000 km and not have any issues then ill have some respect for them. Until then ill take the foot path.
