I think that I had one of those CG125 Hondas or similar back in 1974. Never had a bit of trouble with it for the five years that I owned it.

I would love to have my old GY-5 back just for its engine. If I had the skill, I'd love to build a utilitarian go-anywhere survival bike from it. It was just so simple to work on..... I miss it..
Not as badly as my XS650, though. |

I believe this bike here http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycles/honda-ctx-200/
is the bike that was the ultimate inspiration for the Lifanoids. I'd love to have one. I doubt they will ever get imported to North America, though - if you want a farm bike, most people just get a TW200. |

See if you can track down a nice old XL200. That would fit the bill for you.

In most of the Lifanoids, imported at least .the push rod engine seems to be the majority player . I don't know if its a cost thing or a reliability or warranty decision. i also found that the last letter in the case of fml the l is for 200cc class and the fmm the last m is for 250cc class , so they didn't leave a spot for a 230cc class

if you had the choice for an upgrade for fml163 197cc push rod engine . either a fmm166 223cc overhead cam or fmm167 229cc overhead cam . would you go with the rule that more displacement is the better . both of these can be had at a reasonable price .

The OHC is superior to the OHV. Which OHC is largely academic, but with all else being equal, I'd go for the few extra cc's.
How much will the motor(s) be? I'm always on the CL lookout for the next Dirt Rat, although I'd like a street legal XL.

Good price. About $100 less than usual. No carb or electrics though but those should add up to less than another $100.
