I posted your exact VIN and he stated his is 26, but did not list his sequence. I am guessing yours is possibly #1

Those are going to look nice. :tup:

The KPM is already a great looking bike...these will be the proverbial 'cherry on top'.

Any updates on the ride, issues, likes/dislikes, thoughts? I'm tempted by this one.

He got into an online disagreement with another member on the thread of the KPM200 top speed video I posted on the video/photo section, and quit Chinariders. You can probably ask him on his youtube videos but I haven't seen a new one posted for awhile.

:hmm:


Thanks for letting me know.

Honestly, I would say just do it. Lifan USA has a good rep, and their build quality is much better than many other offerings out there. Plus I believe they come with a fairly decent warranty as well. They cost more, but you get what you pay for.

Otherwise, I would say look for a good used CBR250 or 300, or if you want a more naked Cafe bike like this, the CB300R can be had in carryovers from 2019 for around $4000, give or take. Which will bring another 10-12hp to the table, and Honda level quality.

Or, a 2 cylinder bike with a bit more power for about the same price, but without the Lifan quality behind it. https://www.belmontebikes.com/produc...d-street-legal

I had a CBR250R for about a year or so and while a great handling package and top quality, I don't really enjoy revving the snot out of something every time I leave a stop! With these small, light bikes I'll take some torque in the low range over more HP up top every time. The chassis on that bike begged for about 40 HP, made me want to rip through the corners every time I went for a ride.


The latest CB500X is quite nice.



I just really like the KPM 200 Cafe style. They really did a nice, not derivative job on the overall look.

Did you see that video I posted from youtube (not mine) of the top speed run on one of So. Cal's freeways in the 'video/photo' section? This bike (I am guessing wasn't even broken in yet) was hitting an indicated 79 mph which I am guessing was 74 (Small Engine Velocity figured both his Lifans were 5 mph below their indicated speedo speed on one of his KPR200 videos).

Yes, I actually saw that a while back before I found this thread. I wonder if anyone else here has actually bought one?
