Belmonte/Venom bigger bike

Was just told by Belmonte bikes that they should have a 300-350cc motorcycle within a year.

I recall hearing something about a larger bike a couple years ago. It might be the Lifan KP350 considering I recall American Lifan stating on their FB page that they will be bringing the KP350 to the US.

Yep. Heard that as well. Waiting on EPA approval.

That KP350 is a sharp bike. The V16s cruiser is fire as well. Hope they bring more of their lineup to the US soon. I am getting the itch for an addition to my collection.

I am waiting for the KPT450 adventure bike. My guess is the same time period as the KP350 it should be EPA/DOT certified.

The existing V16 cruiser is getting my attention, but on their home site they show a really unique V16 sport/cruiser which I understand might replace the existing V16 we have in the US. Reminds me of the VMax in its looks and Lifan incorporates some kind of ram-air intake which apparently adds a bit of power. http://lifanmotos.net/product/tzc/2020-11-26/130.html

And then, just as I was settled on the X-Pect 200, Lifan shows an X-Pect 250 on their site to make me second guess myself...

I think both those bikes will be coming by the end of the year. Covid has really slowed down the certification process from what I was told.

xpect NBS250

Wow!! this got me all excited until I started looking into the specs a bit..
for those wanting a snap shot...6 speed, 8 11/16" front end travel., 9 11/16" rear suspension travel. 21" front wheel, 19" rear.
what squashed this dream was the seat hight of 905= a bit over 36".
sorry that seat height blew away like a bucket of cold water my desire for the
NBS 250.
That doesn't detour me for an under 32" seat height dirt bike. Which the Xpect 200 does nicely.
