Herbie, I noticed on your website that you have about 8 or 9 vids on the KP Mini. How about a playlist for them?

The most recent edition of the EPA/DOT certification list for street-legal motorcycles in the US was released in May, and it (still--I think I posted this information on a separate thread) shows a 2024 Lifan KPMini S as being 50 state legal and the bike will have SFI rather than a carb. It lists the engine size as being 149.0 rather than the upgraded SS3's (upgraded from the original KPMini) 149.2cc engine. The transmission will still be a 5-speed.

Fuel injection would be a definite plus and I prefer efi anymore. But sometimes there is just something nostalgic about carburetors. Once you get them tuned right they run pretty flawlessly unless of course you live in an area that has nothing but ethanol gas and you leave your bike sit too long

My 2024 SS3 wish list:
6th gear 175 or 200cc EFI If they did only two of the above, I totally could not help myself, I would have to have one.

Well the 2024 will have EFI. That's one wish to take off the list.

I wonder if there will be a modest horsepower boost as well.

EFI, 200cc, and 5 speed with some great gearing… that would be fantastic. And not difficult to do… even 250cc.
A US importer could probably order up something like this - American motorcycle licenses are for all-size bikes, when other countries can have classes (eg 50cc and under, 50-125cc, 400c and under, unlimited, etc) A 125 or 150cc version, and a 250cc version? That’s be awesome… especially if they can figure out not just parts but aftermarket. |

Is that just the place you parked it for the photo, or is the campground a bit rustic as far as ground goes. Just wondering if you have to ride it in 'trailbike' terrain and how the bike does.

That was just a picture taken by the marina at the lake. I’ve taken it down some dirt roads and rock roads, it does pretty good on those, dirt more so than rocks. I do plan on taking it trail riding when I can. Unfortunately the trails here are just for walking, no bikes or vehicles. My daughter and her husband have a membership at an exclusive off road park so I’ll be able to take it there soon I hope.
