If you like the more subtle look, the Lifan KPM200 should be added to your list as well. There is a video from the Dorito and the Luchacabre channel showing it topping out on one of the greater L.A. metropolitan area's freeways at an indicated 79 mph, but no GPS. One of our members here, Ceasar, who has the Small Engine Velocity channel on YouTube, has three Lifans including the KPMini 150, the KPR200 (same engine as the KPM200, but his is the sport bike with fairings) and the Lifan Lycan cruiser (the Buccaneer uses the Lycan's V-twin engine). In all his videos, he has shown a discrepancy of 5 mph between his 3 different Lifan bikes' speedos and GPS, so it would seem the KPM is capable of 74, or 75 mph. Plus, the KPM200 in the Dorito... channel is new, so not fully broken in, so it might have a bit more pull? The Lycan has been seen on Small Engine channel hitting 75 or so (GPS), and in one video cruising at around 70, so my guess is the Buccaneer's natural seating position allows one to get a few extra mph over the cruiser. I really like the Buccaneer's styling, and the idea of its V-twin, so it is difficult to decide which one to pursue. Then again, I am not dead-set on a café bike, and still contemplating the Lifan X-Pect 200 dual-sport!?
