Trading my Lifan Xpect for a CFMoto 450nk
The Lifan X-pect is a great bike, which I don't want to part with,
However, some of my friends are riding bigger bikes on highways where one needs to be able to maintain 75mph consistently. The Xpect can do 60-70mph, but not consistently. The CFMoto will be just right for this. Also, I live in a small place, with 2 bikes already, and wife won't let me have a third bike. No space for it anyway. My Vader 150 will be upgraded with a 229cc, which will be good enough for the local rides, keeping the 150cc engine as a spare. I don't need 2 bikes in the 200cc range. My Lifan Xpect is my current daily ride, as it's good on gas. I wished I had done 14k miles on it already, but it currently has just under 1k miles on it. I'm either going to sell it, or trade it for a CFMoto 450nk at the dealership soon. I want to prepare a bit, and see what sprockets fit the bike. I've already seen a seat upgrade, and rear rack for sale for this bike on AliExpress. Anyone has ridden one? I'm a tall dude, 6'4", 210lbs. |

With the NK being a street bike, why not keep the Lifan and get rid of the Vader? the Lifan will give you the option of off-roading. that and a street bike seems like a good variety of riding options.

I figure I get more money for the lifan, selling for 1850 (windshield and trunk included, as well as sprocket change for better mpg on street riding. Also spare set of tires and inner tubes included. The Vader I have an engine for I want to transfer. My main reason for keeping the Vader, is that they both have the same top speed. Once I install the CG 250, my Vader will be a lot faster. |

Well, the mpg values were lower than expected.
They hover between 41 to 55mpg, with peaks around 67mpg for those who swap sprockets. Not woth my time. |
