Who says these bikes dont do dual-sport!

[pullin-gs]

This 200cc Lifan-powered GY200 completed the AMA-organized Shennandoah 500 dual-sport ride last weekend. I beat the sh=t out of it, no other way to describe it. I made the ride with about 200 other riders, all of them on Japanese and Euro bikes. Not a single other china bike. All I had to do was ride it within it's limitations (about half of the suspension travel as most other bikes there) and keep it slow on the rocks. No problems at all in the gravel, mud, and trails....kept up good with the other bikes there. Just those damn rocks is where I kept it slow (2nd gear mostly, sometimes 3rd, sometimes 1st).


NOT ONE THING BROKE, bent, cracked, fell off, or quit working on the bike the entire weekend. Nothing. All I had to do was tighten my chain between Sat/Sun runs, and one other time mid-ride when the chain flipped off at the end of one of the stream crossings.
Bike has about 2000 miles on it now.
