love lifan, have the 167ffm Lifan counterbal engine. the best part of the bike. just not sure , as you have mentioned, as of why they didn't carry this 229 mill over to their new fuel injected products line???

that 196cc fi produces 14hp. mine (229) gets about the same hp but not as fuel efficient as is stated for the 196cc.

also, the 196cc is overhead cam

am thinking (as they actually state) they want to stay in the beginners market and dont want to directly compete with the hondas etc of the world.
