Lifan...Scrambler??
I know that Beards and Bikes does NOT hold a good place in many people's hearts here on Chinariders due to their, um, interesting things they do to abuse bikes, BUT this video popped up and I thought it answered a question I don't even recall anyone asking.

Looks like so much fun. I would have fabbed a bracket to raise the front fender a little, rather than removing it altogether.
One of those trails was way too rough for any scrambler. It was fun to watch them try it. I could not open the vid in Chrome. I opened it in Edge and had no problem watching. I like Beards and Bikes street bike tests, but not their off road tests.

I was NOT all that pleased in what they did to that Hawk. But it was nice to see the Hawk stood up to it. What amuses me is how these self proclaimed experts on youtube only Torture test the bargain priced items LOL. Anyway enough yammering, Let me watch this here video, thanks for posting it.

They are schmucks, but that's a great idea to do to a cafe bike.

I figured there would be a few members here interested in similar modifications, and this video shows us what one potentially looks like...and rides like.

Not being "hip" or up to date on the latest trends, I had no idea that cafe bikes no longer got chicks. I guess they've gone the way of the spoke straw.

It was a fun episode, it's Bikes and Beards fault I own a KPM200, and the hawk abuse contributed. So many test videos of tools, bikes, you name it barely push the item so nearly anything could pass. And yes I would love to see a Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki abuse test to the same degree
