Do they do a Lifan powered one for the NZ market?
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

I've never heard they blew up a lot, but they Mibbee do. They are choked to death by the pipes and injection to meet emissions laws.
We live in one of few countries that are allowed to give the pipes the arse and flash the ECU. I'm led to believe they go like a scalded cat once that's done.

The big issue is that they came with a proprietary EFI system which didnt work either at all or reliably. Apparently if you want to actually use it you convert it to carbs and put Jolly Moto pipes on them and they go fairly well.

There's more engine work than that needed - the crank seals are crap apparently.
I'll introduce you to a chch collector who has one and the two of you can discuss it to your heart's content...

I think I've met him. Little weird dude with loads of Italian shit?

Apparently 16hp vs 11hp, so 45% more power.

He fucked it with the Lifian engine replacement. I reckon he could have fetched up to $2k with the original 'tired' Honda engine.
Seriously that bike takes me way back to a CG110 a guy had at a school holiday market gardening job I had when young. I remember fatting along fast down between a row of carrots. Memories like that make guys my age add a bike they don't need or will ride much to their mortgage .....

Step right-the-F-away from the computer. NO. It's shit.

Fuck I'd love one.
Might have to shoehorn a bigbore RZ engine into it of course.

Don't you look at my accountant.

Yes from what i understand quality conrol on the cranks is not so good either ,they need new cases for fit new larger decent seals as there is not enough room in the original cases.
Also plus quite a few castings were porous anyway.
The injectors were on the production bikes were wrong as ferarri could supply the original ones used on the prototypes in volume needed for production.
The ECU mapping was an issue more because the maps were not consistant due to the leaking cases providing fueling that was different from bike to bike, even from day to day.

What I learnt to ride on but I have no attack of nostalgia on seeing one again. About its only redeeming feature at the time was that I could go faster than my mate on his C90 - don't think that's a reason to call it a 'classic'
