2006 lifan 200cc iii, question about riding position

Is the rider position the same on this bike like it is on the other sports bike?

I have a Loncin 200, almost identical to the Zongshen and Lifan 200s.
I think that calling them 'sportbikes' is a bit of a misnomer; the sitting position is not very aggressive. I used to own a Kawasaki EX-500, and the sitting position, steering, etc. remind me very much of that bike.
Imagine a Kawasaki EX-500/Ninja 500, but 10% lighter and with significantly less power.

No...the seating position in not a sportbike type...not at all. I sat on one I was thinking about buying before I bought my Tank 250 2i (http://www.tank-sports.com/motorcycl...0-2i-250cc.htm).

Anyway, it's a standard motorycyle that LOOKS sporty. You sit more upright, just not as upright as on a cruiser.

So, why'd I go with the Tank? Bigger engine, tires, dual exhaust, more power & torque, faster and has a 3 year warranty. All for $1999. Bodywise, including the dash, they are identical.
