Hello from West Virginia & kpm200 question

MrLabradork · 07-16-2021, 10:50 AM

Hey guys. I'm a new rider and was considering a lifan kpm 200. I'm a pretty big guy, 6'3 300 lbs. Is this bike going to be too small for me?

Welcome Aboard! I'm not one that can answer that question as i never owned or seen one in person but we do have a few members that own one. Hopefully one can answer that question for you.

I own one. I’ma little over 250. It’s about the size of a 250cc bike. Think Suzuki tu250x. If you’re just doing city riding, it’ll be fine. But, don’t expect to do over 60-65 mph.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'll mainly just be buzzing around town. I just didn't want to feel like I'm riding a toy haha

Welcome. I'm also a West ,by God, Virginian.. I am over 250 lbs, and my bike (Brozz) handles me just fine. The manufacturers of these bikes rate them at around 300lbs weight capacity, but they put rear pegs on them, so they should,and surely do know they will be overloaded . Like others have said just stick to mild riding, and don't pick up any hitchhikers. LOL....I live in Evans in Jackson Co. Maybe I will see you on the road.
