Lifan Lycan V twin 250
So call me crazy.
![]() I'm also looking to get a nice touring bike and sell the Vulcan S. I plan on starting to do some long road trips, so need to upgrade to something more suited. I'm looking at several different option from buying used and new.

I always had a mild interest in the Lycan 250, but the 5k price most places were asking for it always turned me away from it. I see that Venom now has it for $3500. That makes it more worth it for sure. How cramped do you think 6ft 4 me would be on one? I keep toying with the idea of a scooter for work commuting, but this would be more fun and fill that same role.

It got dark on me last night so not too many pictures. I did shoot some video. I started editing last night in hopes of having a video this morning. Something happened with my audio. most of the second half of the videos had no audio. I guess I'll have to voice over the second half tonight.
I did take the bike out for a short ride. The bike is so smooth and comfortable. Shifting is nice and smooth just like my KPX. Even though it was a little on the chilly side this morning, I did take it to work. Here's a few pictures.

Here's a short clip on How she sounds. Yeah, I did miss 2nd gear. lol I wasn't used to the floor boards and having to lift a little more on the shifter. I need to do a slight adjustment for my Boots.

That bike sounds awesome, and a good looking bike to boot. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on it after riding it a while

It does sound good. Even for a small twin is still has that rumble to it. Such a nice looking bike too.

Yeah, I like the sound of it. And I'll bet it makes more torque than a 250 single. Interesting engine.
I still don't know why there is this invisible barrier at 250cc for most Chinese bikes. Maybe it is a domestic regulation there. 400cc or more would make sense for a Vtwin!
