Strongly Considering the LF200B
Looks pretty sweet. I would much rather have the new 08 Ninja 250R but can't afford it.. I loooove the way the new Ninja looks! I have a new Lifan 200cc dirtbike and the power is very decent after basic mods, I expect the power to be a bit better in the 200B bike even though it uses the same motor. Am I just fooling myself? Would it be any better being a bike thats lower to the ground with less tire resistance?
I also noticed a bunch of high power replacement 200 and 250cc motos on ebay for the bikes but they disappeared a couple weeks back never to return. I also bought a big bore head, cams & other hop ups from bataycan. He never sent them. Had to file a complaint like everyone elce did. It's too bad he was the only one with all the race parts now there is no one. So if I buy the 200B and want to hop it up im kinda out of luck so I want to make sure they are decent on-road. How fast have guys got them going? Are there any other faster choices for under 2 grand? |

thanks.. I know the Zongshen 250 is actually a 1/2 hp less then the Lifan 200cc. It's different then the 20 hp 250 in the birds. The bike also looks like it only comes in sliver
 . If there are any others let me know! I like the one from rabbit scooters I have to call on the specs because they don't list them like engine power.EDIT: I just called rabbit its only 15 hp at $1,900 its not really any deal. I can get the Lifan for 1,600 sent. They also said they were clearing out their 250's to make way for the new 400cc bikes. They said the 400's are quite a bit more money, they don't really seem worth it nearing 5 grand when you can get a ninja for that that would be alot faster and better performing. It looks like the prices of the once cheap china bikes are skyrocketing and they are not getting any better. |

I spent the extra money and got the Ninja which has roughly 20 years worth of interchangable parts.
The 08's do look really sweet though!
