Lifan KPT400
Well it looks like Lifans next new bike to come to the US is the 2024 KPT400. I know they are going through EPA certification right now and should be available by next summer. This bikes will have all the bells and whistles. Here's an article on the KPT400. I guess I better start saving my money. lol

"VisorDown reports that Lifan KPT 400 will set you back around £3,500 (around $4,770)"
Lifans are usually priced a good bit higher than other China bikes. If the VisorDown report is correct, the KPT 400 could be a huge sales success. I could live with the odd styling at that price.

I'm told with the higher cost of shipping from China they will be in the $5000 - $5500 range. I've been binge watching KPT 400 video all weekend. Lol The only problem I couldn't understand any of the Chinese. Lol

I was looking on the EPA list of motorcycles and it is no longer listed. Have you heard anything from Venom?

It never was listed. Venom is still waiting for Lifan to get EPA approval.

my money would still be with the Himalayan, particularly if this bike is over the 5k mark. In comparisons with the CSC model, the Himalayan was better off-road. so the question in my mind is how far off the road do you intend to get. I'm still leaning used KLR650 though.

I'm seriously waiting on this bike. I want an RX4 really bad, but I'm more than willing to pay a little extra to get the Lifan quality. But, if it doesn't come with the luggage, the RX4 will be my choice.

It will probably less than the RX4. CSC likes to add about a grand in fees. The bike is supposed to come fully loaded with aluminum luggage.

I really just want a 350-450cc dual sport.
Something like my Templar but with 30-40 horse. These ADV bikes just look to big for my tastes. Aesthetically pleasing though.

That's exactly why I bought the DRZ. After both the RX3's, and the V-Strom, I realized I didn't need (or want) all that Tupperware, baggage, storage and additional weight. I got really tired of stripping hunks of plastic off just for normal maintenance. I just don't ride that far or long anymore. Four hours out is an average day.

So I got an update on EPA approval on the KPT 400. Looks like they finally got everything worked out. I'm being told they will be available March/April 2024.
