Lifan Lycan 250 vs QJ Motors 300 SRV
I am curious to know members opinions on these 2 bikes. I am buying in the next couple of months a new bike in the 250-400 cc class. I want a cruiser and want to stay in the 3500 dollar range. I have found QJ motors SRV 300 bikes setting on lots for a year priced as low as 3900 dollars. Belt drive, low seat height, EFI, tubeless, 6spd,water cooled. These have been sitting on lots for a year. Any thoughts? The Lycam is vTwin,EFI,low seat, excellent quality, around 3500 dollars and a beautiful bike. Any thoughts on these 2 bikes as well as any I might be missing would be much appreciated. I saw a Jonway cruiser online but none in America? Quality thoughts on these bikes is welcomed too.

Thanks I have talked to Jerry but I appreciate the heads up. I just missed a 2023 Lifan Lycan at a Harley dealership in Jersey with 200 miles that was advertised for 1799.00. I think and Jerry kind of endorsed the idea of going with the QP SRV 300. It is only about 300.00 higher than the Lifan and the best I can tell from my research it is about as high of quality as comes from China. Outside of a Triumph I have only owned Japanese bikes. Just sold a 1100 Yamaha last week. Thanks for your help.

I think you will be much happier with the QP SRV 300. 30hp vs 19 hp plus the 6 speed transmission. Don't get me wrong, the Lycan is a nice bike but for the money i would go with the QP SRV 300. The QP SRV 300 wasn't available anywhere near me at the time i was looking at them.

Jerry did you see in my other post that I missed a Lifan Lycan 2023 with 700 miles at Barb's Harley Davidson for 1799 dollars? Missed it by one day. Saw it posted last nite on some Moto buy website and found out this morning it sold yesterday.

The only thing that kind of scares me about newer technology bikes, and better engines, is parts.
Can you get parts of these bikes in case things go south? Sometimes even with more popular bikes, it's hard to find the correct parts that fit. |
