Awesome! No tubes or spokes to worry about.

Bike looks good so far wish I had infinite money I would get one of these to.

Wow!! You might be the FIRST one in the US with one of these!! (customers)

Removing the fender really cleans it up.

wlfpck · 02-20-2020, 08:46 AM

That is a really good looking bike. I like how Lifan pushes to make original bike designs and doesn't make clones.

Will be interesting to see them grow. Could really challenge the entry bike market in the U.S. if they start getting a dealership network, better website, more marketing, etc. all set up.

The biggest issue I think they'll see (we're assuming quality is not an issue) is replacement parts. I mentioned this in the Small Engine Velocity discord channel years ago, but without a way to get replacement parts, it's going to be difficult for them to compete in the U.S.

I think someone from the discord channel talked to them because they shortly opened up an Amazon store. I think that helps a LOT. Next would be the availability of getting the bikes out to people and the marketing.

Reason I bring this up...

That KPM 200 is a GOOD looking bike. I think they're going to do well. Not much in this category if you're looking for scrambler and 300cc or less.

Only bikes you can call out is the Honda CB300R, CSC SG250, SSR Buccaneer. I may be missing one or 2, but this could dominate the market. Especially for people that want something like a Ducati Scrambler, but without the HUGE price tag and engine size.

Keep us updated! Interesting to see what can be done with these bikes.

thanks
this initial un-crate and assemble quality is something bad a$% for me in the chonda world.
i have opened a few in my day and this one speaks high volume. i love the bike already.
by pushing it around and taking pics its a lot heavier than expected,
but in good way. feels like pushing a mid 70's cb350 around.
good solid bike here! first start up will prolly be this weekend and first ride will most likely be monday
