Celebrity Collaboration Russian plant ZiD and Chinese Lifan successfully lasts for more than a year, allowing you to regularly offer interesting motorcycles. In this review, we will get acquainted with the ZiD-Lifan LF200 GY-5 motorcycle, which can be safely called one of the leaders in terms of price / quality ratio in the segment budget motorcycles enduro class in the Russian market.

The appearance of the Lifan LF200 GY-5 motorcycle is quite modern, but at the same time it is devoid of its own recognizable face. The exterior of the LF-200 GY5 was copied from a range of Japanese enduro bikes and created by Chinese designers at Lifan's head office. In turn, ZiD provides quality assembly motorcycles for Russian market in their production areas.

In terms of dimensions, the Lifan LF200 GY-5 bike is not much different from its competitors, fully fitting into its class. The length of the bike is 2200 mm, while wheelbase equal to 1450 mm. The height of the motorcycle does not exceed 1220 mm, and the width along the steering wheel is 860 mm. The dry weight of the bike is 122 kg, and the curb weight of the motorcycle does not exceed 130 kg. Maximum permissible load per motorcycle is 150 kg.

If we talk about technical characteristics, then the Lifan LF200 GY-5 (Zid) is equipped with a single-cylinder four-stroke engine 163FML-2 Chinese made with a compression ratio of 9.0. Its working volume is 196.9 cm3, and maximum power does not exceed 16.5 hp (12 kW), developed at 8000 rpm. The motor is equipped with a carburetor fuel system, capacitor ignition system type CDI and air-cooled. The maximum torque of the 163FML-2 engine is about 14.5 Nm and is achieved at 6500 rpm, allowing it to accelerate to top speed at 100 km/h.
As far as fuel consumption is concerned, average level AI-92 gasoline consumption is set by the manufacturer at around 2.3 liters per 100 km of track at a speed of 60 km / h.

The motorcycle engine ZiD-Lifan LF200 GY-5 is aggregated with a 5-speed manual transmission, which has a multi-plate clutch operating in an oil bath. Gear ratio main gear equals 2.706. Traction is transmitted to the drive wheel by means of a chain drive.

The suspension design of the LF200 GY-5 bike is classic. A telescopic hydraulic fork is used at the front, and a pendulum suspension with a spring-hydraulic shock absorber is used at the rear. Disc wheels are installed on both wheels. brake mechanisms With hydraulic drive. The front of the motorcycle is equipped with a 21-inch wheel, and the rear uses an 18-inch wheel.

Motorcycle Lifan The LF 200 GY5 is perfect for both everyday urban use and outdoor use. road conditions. At the moment, the manufacturer recommends selling the ZiD-Lifan LF200 GY-5 enduro bike at a price of 60,625 rubles.

Here I will talk about the Lifan lf200 GY-5 motorcycle, the cost of maintenance, performance characteristics and their modifications.

General information about the motorcycle

According to TCP, it has 15.8 hp. - for leisurely trips through the forest and alone this is enough
on the highway, a comfortable speed of 80-90 km / h is at 5-6 tons. rpm on the tachometer
consumption 3-3.5l/100km, best result was seen during break-in 2.46l/100km
tank volume 10.5l, there was a case when I drove 350km on a full tank and arrived at the gas station without switching to the reserve
Pros of this bike:
- the price of a new one is from 45t.r.
- relative reliability with proper care
-fuel consumption
- the ability to drive where the road builder will not pass
-the cost of both consumables and spare parts (for example: pads 300r, a new wheel 4t.r.)
There are cons like everyone else (I will describe what is significant for me):
- frequency of oil change 2t.km
- torsionally weak fork
-weak headlight (removed)
- creakiness rear suspension(the very fact that there is a progression there is a plus, but the absence of oilers is a minus, by the way, I never disassembled the progression for 8t.km, I just sprayed the VDshka and everything is in order)
-narrow seat, maybe I find fault, but after an hour and a half drive, the fifth point becomes numb

Now I will describe the costs and improvements of the motorcycle

Motorcycle bought for 48t.r. in a box + 2500 rub. home delivery.
Wheel bearings, speedometer gearbox, throttle/clutch cables lubricated during assembly
Oil change: 0,300,600,1200,2000km - that’s it, the run-in is completed, then the oil change is every 2t.km, the volume of oil to be filled is 1.1l, total ~ 5800r was spent on oil for 8t.km at the cost of a 1l canister ~ 650r
Additionally, the motorcycle was installed:
-fuel filter ~ 50r
-Chinese alarm with a tilt and shock sensor (it will scare off simple gopniks, but hijackers do not need a lifan), the alarm / siren is hidden away and it takes time and some skill to get to it, it also has an additional battery in case the wires from the battery are cut. ordered from aliexpress ~ 350r
- fender liner on the front wheel (seen in the first photo) now after driving through puddles - the engine is less thrown by mud
-electronic temperature sensor (the thermocouple itself is built into the probe) - 1000r + new probe ~ 100r

The native headlight with a power of 35W is comparable to a candle in a children's cake ... I replaced it with a standardized FG137 headlight with OSVAR optics for halogen with a screen and a dimension
1) headlight housing - free of charge "from a neighbor's barn"
2) optics - 200r (it is possible to put a "crystal")
3) high luminosity lamp 60/55W ~ 300r
4) block on the lamp - 30r
5) two metal plates, fasteners, heat shrink, soldering iron
6) spray paint ~ 100r
7) fairing from an owl - 170r
the photo shows the plates for installing such a headlight, but in general how everything looks - you can see in the first photo

I don’t remember what else I would do with a motorcycle.

Let me summarize

During the 2014 season I drove this motorcycle 8t.km there were no breakdowns, everyone is happy
for the 2015 season I plan to replace:
- oil in the fork (there are no problems with it rather for prevention)
- rubber band on the pendulum (chain damper) - 300r
- bushings rear hub- 500r
Thousand after 5:
pads (now they are in good condition I don't know how much more.)
-rubber (yes, native has passed 8 thousand and is still in order)
-stars / chain (for the run this year, the stars have never changed, the chain is two times because its price is 280r "Ant")

The motorcycle triples me with everything and is suitable for those who are not going to climb on it in kaki and hellishly bring down on a par with Japanese enduros, it is very comfortable to move on primers on it, light off-road and drive not very long distances on asphalt.

Owner Review

I will sum up the results of 3 seasons of driving (10,000 km in Moscow 99%).

Let's start with a list of minor repair work: after driving 10,000 kilometers changed the tire front wheel and dismantled the clutch - it began to slip a little. I will put a 3-inch tire on asphalt instead of 2.75, it will wear out more slowly. I'll disassemble the clutch, look at the springs, I think that they have weakened.

Driving process.

High landing on the lf 200 - everything is perfectly visible ahead, even through the roofs of cars, but it is somewhat more difficult to maintain balance at low speed and with a strong side wind. It's also pretty easy to jump up curbs because of large diameter wheels. Suspension travel is long enough to jump speed bumps at 60 km. The jump from the ramp is practically not felt, if you stand up at the same time (jumped from a height of 50 cm, did not come across higher).

One of the nice lifan features lf200 gy 5 - the ability to drive almost close to the curb, as the steps do not catch. Due to the low weight of the bike, you can drive in very narrow places - just by tilting the bike and stepping over with one foot. In the center, if there are a lot of cars and they stand close, you can dismount and drive the bike in your hands - it rolls very easily. Several times I had to do this in traffic jams, when everyone else just stood there.

Speed ​​up to 100 km. lifan zid lf200 is gaining much faster than the main stream. Without a passenger, it picks up speed up to 115 km / h. It is uncomfortable to ride at a speed of more than a hundred, so I ride 100, which is not very convenient on the highway. You need 120. Generally speaking, driving around the city does not cause any inconvenience. Therefore, when I am not in a hurry, I do not go by car if the weather is good.

When the suburban highway is packed, you can drive along the side of the road, right over the bumps - this is the specialization of this model. Here the bike is doing both jeeps and scooters in terms of speed. In fact, in terms of speed with an average load on the track, the championship belongs to low and narrow motorcycles, with a cubic capacity of about 400-600. The ones that are bigger are already heavy. A little disappointed with the work of the rear brake - it is designed for trips with a passenger, so it is too tenacious, the bike can easily break into the skid. It is almost impossible to ride in the forest, since the speed is too high even in first gear, but on the paths - nothing at all.

Minor damage:

The chrome trim on the muffler has come off. Since it does not play any role, he quit wallowing in the garage.

The signal stopped working. I went under warranty, they showed the adjusting bolt. Turned half a turn - everything worked as it should.

Unscrewed the postings of the mass, the light was gone. Screwed the mass in another place.

The headlight bulb burned out. Bought for 250 r. (in the southern port costs 70 rubles.)

Burnt stop. Bought for 10 rubles.

The plug from the transmission sensor popped out. I put it back (the oil started to go away).

Broke a wheel. Tire fitting - 250 rubles, plus 100 rubles. camera plus camera 250 (accidentally they pulled out the nipple at the installation, they said that it was so).

Tightened a few bolts.

Often reading reviews about lifan lf200, one has to hear dissatisfied opinions about the chain, they say it stretches. I didn’t notice anything like this, I just wipe it with a toothbrush with applied working off before the trip so that it’s not completely dry. As a result, the chain should be enough for twenty thousand.

It began to poison the oil from under the clutch lever. The reason is the kink of the rubber breather hose, hence the loss of oil. The hose unfolded on its own.

The first thousand pads were a little wedged. I looked, threw a piece of iron out of the caliper, sawed off the protrusion on the block - everything returned to normal.

As a result of the fall, both mirrors were broken. 400 rubles for each.

Tightened the chain every 2000 km.

The anti-theft lock was untwisted and hung on one self-tapping screw. I had to boil it.

Design flaws in my opinion:

There is no fuel gauge. It is very inconvenient somewhere in the tunnel to start frantically looking for a switch to the reserve.

The headlight is not bright enough. It is very inconvenient to change the bulb. The original cartridge, so the standard one from the car will not work.

Narrow seat. It's stylish and all, but it's a little uncomfortable to sit on.

Decorative blotches on the sides do not carry any benefit. Inside, it would be nice to make an empty place for all sorts of little things, otherwise there is nowhere to even put a piece of cloth.

The original carving of a candle is almost impossible to find if it burned out outside of Moscow.

In traffic jams, a wide steering wheel interferes. When traveling through the forest is also very uncomfortable. I had to cut off five centimeters on each side. It has become a little better, it would not hurt to cut down the same amount, but then the steering wheel will have to be bent.

It is difficult to catch the neutral line - it constantly jumps from 2 to 1. It causes a lot of inconvenience at stops.

I read about lifan lf200 gy 5 reviews - so some owners are unhappy regular tires. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with it - the rubber is made universal, for this reason there is greater rigidity than on the road, less grip than on the cross. The front tire has worn out after 10,000 miles, but I often brake hard.

Bike running costs:

Mineral oil 10 liters. 2 replacements for 450 rubles. 5 liters when replacing, the rest I leave for topping up.

Gasoline consumption for the first time 4litra, after running 3.3 per hundred.

Headlight and rear stop bulbs - 250 and 5 rubles, respectively.

Mirrors: 400 rubles apiece and overlays-spheres 30 rubles apiece.

Tire fitting cost 250 rubles, plus a bicycle tube - 100, a native tube - 250 rubles. Litol - 100 rubles.

Together: without gasoline (the price has changed) 2,245 rubles - exact arithmetic. Litol is not all used up.

For greater objectivity, it would be necessary to include in the costs tax, insurance, technical equipment, tools, equipment, halving the price on sale, etc., etc., but due to the large variations in numbers and the complexity of such calculations I'll skip it all. For myself, I determined the cost of one kilometer of run - 5.5 rubles. That is, for me personally total cost the mileage of the bike was 55,000 rubles.

Let's summarize:
Over the three years of operation, the lifan zid lf200 has fully paid for itself (this is if you sell it now for 30,000) - I occasionally work on it instead of my car. Purchase Japanese counterpart for 350,000 rubles for such a time it is simply impossible to justify. Even if there are no expenses other than gasoline, which is impossible in principle, the payback period will be about 20 years.

What would I buy for myself in the future? I don’t want to buy a scooter with a volume of 250-300 cubic meters; it would be impractical to buy a Japanese for 300,000. The competitor, again made in China, is a classic of 250-300 cubes, there are no more than a couple of models. For this reason, I would recommend to all readers of my review to choose from these 3 models (well, there is also a lottery for buying used equipment)

Several crashes and their consequences:

Fell on the asphalt two years ago at a speed of 40 (after a watering machine plus rear brake- the motorcycle went skidding). Broken mirrors, bent steering wheel, a few scratches on the plastic.

Falling into a thicket of hogweed at a speed of 10 (an imperceptible rut in the grass plus too high speed in first gear) - no consequences.

Falling on the side while stopping (high saddle + foot caught on the bag on the trunk). Broken mirror.

Crash while trying to drive over a dirty and wet curb at speed 10. Well, that's my own fault. I did not fall, but the speedometer on the bike began to give incorrect readings - speed per 20 km. higher.

Preventive work:

Lubricate the suspension once a season. Factory lubrication was, but not enough. I lubricated the speedometer drive, treated the cables and some contacts on the wiring with used oil.

I check tire pressure once a month.

Checked valve clearance twice.

What competitors did you meet:

VM - Kaliningrad, two Izhevsk, one 250 cubic meters. Well, what can I say - almost everything is the same, I see no reason to compare, well, except that the "strike" has a round headlight, which is somewhat more convenient, and the Kaliningrader's legs are somewhat simpler. If the prices for the Japanese were reduced by a factor of three, they would be competitors.

I wrote a letter to the Lifan company, in which I suggested organizing the supply of spare parts “so that everything was there”, and issuing a repair and maintenance manual. A certain Misha answered - they say, we will consider. Been considering for almost a year now. I think they just don't care about sales in Russia - a few hundred bikes a year is too little reason to publish a full manual.

And finally, for future buyers: take it, lifan zid lf200 will not disappoint, there are almost no problems with it, and it’s not critical for the wallet. For example, this is how I ride on my native rubber, with the original spark plug and chain, despite negative feedback. At night, I just don’t ride more than 70 km / h, that’s all.

In the spring of 2015, I toiled from mototoxicosis and figured out how to get a two-wheeled transport smarter.

The poison of motorcycling got into me quite recently, and I wanted to ride and ride!
I wanted to ride the enduro again through the fields and forests, climb the hills and scatter kilograms of dirt in the swamps.

Under the cut I will hide a relatively long post with photos and a video about how I first lost one two-wheeled Chinese friend, and then went out, cured the second one, sorting out his heart with my own hands.
He also became Chinese Lifan LF200GY-5

The old motorcycle, Lifan LF200 GY-5, was stolen from me, sadly. And there was a chain, and an alarm system, and a blocker on the disk, and I stood in the entrance on the floor opposite the front door - it didn’t help, they took me away.

2.

It's that simple. They removed everything and pulled out on the elevator.

And after all, as luck would have it, they stole it at a time when there is no money, and the crisis does not add optimism, and the people do not seek to upgrade their motorcycles.

And ride horror as you want! Monitor forums-- empty!

And then an ad appears, they say, I’m selling a motorbike that has stood at the service for more than six months and they demand for its repair more money what it's worth. And again Lifan LF200 GY-5, only red. Yes, and good!

Contacted the owner. The bottom line is this: the motorcycle was bought as entertainment, the owner's son rode it, hit nothing at all, a little more than two thousand. But in one of summer days his friend got on the motorbike and got out firmly on the dirt road.

The moto has a broken front fender, the tail fell off by welding, the muzzle is broken, the seat is torn, grips are broken, the handles are broken.

But the most the main thing is a motorcycle wouldn't start with electric start or kick. The battery briskly turned the starter, but there were no flashes, and the kick was easily and effortlessly turned by hand. The diagnosis of the servicemen is that there is no compression and it is necessary to sort out the CPG.

It sucks, of course, I thought, but you can restore everything yourself.
Maybe.

Arrogance of enormous proportions, because he had never capitalized engines before.

However, the price set by the pre-owner (previous owner) allowed me to hope that, together with the spare parts, I would be able to meet the money that I had. Meanwhile, in the service for repairs and zaps, they requested the cost of a whole new engine!

Came for an inspection. What they rolled out to me was a mixture of metal, plastic and dirt. It looked so shocking that the price set by the owner seemed to me pretty high and I took a break.
(in photo No. 3, large pieces of dirt have already been knocked off the motorcycle, and everything that dangled was screwed with wire! :))

3.

But I already wanted to restore it. I love this moped! So he looked at me with his muzzle rolled to one side, that I could not resist. We bargained and now the keys and documents for what should again become a motorcycle are in my hands!

They roll the moped out of the box for me, I take it out of the gate and start with wires and the blessed blue electrical tape to bring the moped into a more or less decent look so that nothing falls off of it along the way. Along the way, I shake off lumps of dirt from it.
This is how he appeared before me before the start of the drive to the house.

4.

The joy, of course, is great, but we are standing with a motorcycle in the middle of the city of St. Petersburg, on the Black River, and I have to deliver it to Vsevolozhsk!
Since I would have to pay a fair amount of money for the delivery, which was frankly a pity, I decided that I would push him! :)

Well, I'm strong! Good weather.
And we went!
It's good that St. Petersburg is a flat city! Otherwise, I would suffer much more!
Any rise-- and 130 motokilos squeeze strength out of me. And there is simply nowhere to go down! :)
Immediately rolled Lifan to the nearest gas station. No, I did not fill it up, but inflated the tires to 2 atmospheres to make it easier to roll. :)

In theory, in about eight hours, I could have rolled it home, but I decided to mess it up and risked putting it on the train! Well, they would have kicked me out of there, so be it!, but they would have driven me a few kilometers to the house!

Near the station there is a self-service car wash. I push the mot there and for quite a long time I knock dirt off the motorcycle.

Here I am at the railway station. He hid the motorcycle behind a column so that the driver would not immediately notice it and rolled it into the last car, through the last door, so as not to interfere with people moving on the train.
And it must happen that literally immediately after the start of movement, the second driver came out of the rear cab. Or assistant, not the point. And its hinged door rested on a motorcycle. And he looked at me sternly And said that it was not worthwhile to carry a motor cart in electric trains.

But when he looked at my self-running wagon, his heart took pity, and he graciously allowed me to proceed to the desired station, if the controllers did not kick out ...

5.

I'm waiting for controllers. One station. Two stations, transfer to the third ... And here they are.
I present a ticket for myself and for the “bike”. They neighed and ... also did not mind! It was obvious right away that my moped was suffering… And I, along with him!

It’s already more fun to roll from the station to the house, only three kilometers with a penny.

What would you say if I told you that service lift did not work? But he didn't work! I had to call the control room, surprisingly, the fitter came quickly. And now the motorcycle is on my floor. I have no desire to leave it there, therefore, I take it out to the balcony, which will soon become a motor repair shop.

6.

There was nothing corny to check the compression, and I didn’t even think about it, because they told me in the workshop that they had already checked everything and there was no pressure.

The next morning I got up early and began to unscrew all the nuts that held the motor.

The Chinese, as always, in their repertoire: nuts for 15 and 16 !!! I stomp for the keys to the store.

I keep spinning. I disconnect the connectors, unscrew the muffler, disconnect the throttle and clutch cables. I take out the last long bolt, on which the engine hangs ... From a pancake, you also need to remove the chain! :)))

I was sure that this is what everything would be limited to, but I was surprised by the presence electrical wires! Forgot about them! I unscrew, disconnect, having previously signed and marked everything.

7.

So that the engine does not hit the concrete floor at the time of removal, I placed a plastic canister.
And rightly so: although the engine is not too heavy, it is not convenient to hold it.

I clean the engine with a brush from the dirt remaining after washing, I collect it from the floor with a vacuum cleaner.
I'm starting to disassemble the engine.

8.

It turned out that there is nothing complicated in this. You really unscrew almost all the nuts you see! :)

9.

Unless I immediately dismantled the head with valves, poured kerosene into them and checked the tightness, you never know, suddenly pressure is poisoning through the valves?

10.

But everything was normal here, and I continued to disassemble. It was necessary to remove the cooling jacket and release the piston.

11.

Well, surprise, no problems were found on the walls of the cylinder. Smooth mirror!

12.

The piston on top is badly scratched, but the rings are normal and the skirt is without defects.
The finger was easily removed from the connecting rod. It is necessary to mark exactly how he stood!

13.

He took out the rings from the piston grooves, examined them. On the rings themselves and on the piston there are small traces of oil deposits, washed everything under the tap with an ordinary toothbrush with a detergent.
I checked the gaps by inserting the rings into the cylinder - the norm.

14.

Went to a friend of friends, measured the cylinder from the inside. The difference is only two hundredths, this is very good and there should be no problems with compression.

Per day in valves full order, kerosene does not penetrate under the plates.

Well, we need to collect everything back.

I assembled it, twisted it, since there really is nothing complicated, plus the whole sequence was photographed.
But how without mischief? I twisted the rockers, and the last bolt easily and effortlessly broke off in my hands! Fortunately, it was not screwed in deeply and did not drag out (!), I turned it out with pliers, grabbing the rest of the thread.
And only a day later I was able to find a suitable bolt with the desired thread pitch. It had to be cut because it was too long.

By the way, I replaced the gaskets with new ones, and there were no traces of burnout on the old ones.

I decided to adjust the valves already on the engine installed in the frame. What I regretted a little: in the frame, the cover rests on the upper edge and it can be removed only by releasing the two front ones and removing the upper rear engine mounting bolts.
I will not describe the adjustment itself, it is described in detail in many places.

15.

Cleaned out the carburetor. There was a lot of dirt in it. Why so many, I wonder?

Put a new chain, lubed all the cables, installed in place. But with the muffler gasket, the lining came out: I had to run after it! Well, this penny detail is over in all the stores I know!

But the motor is already in the frame, connected, the wires are connected. Would like to try!
There is oil in the crankcase, but the cylinder is dry. I did not think of lubricating it from the inside before assembly.

I pour through candle hole some oil, and I try to smoothly turn the kick starter by hand to disperse the oil through the cylinder. You can’t use a starter, everything will be wiped dry too quickly.

I press the palm of my hand - the shaft makes a little more than a third and freezes in place. Together with him, my heart stops in a terrible guess: “jammed”!

I couldn't turn it by hand! He stood on the footboard and pressed his foot. And the piston went! With an effort, as expected! Joy!

A few turns with an effort and the cylinder is lubricated, it became a little easier to walk.
Gotta try to start. Well, I want to!
I turn the key in the ignition, the neutral light on the tidy lights up, I again stand on the bandwagon and sharply press on the kick.

Here my Lifan decided to play the old IZH! He kicked me so hard that he pierced through the rubber sole of my slipper! The foot also did not get sickly, it hurt.

But what did it tell me? I didn’t think about pain at all, but I was glad that there was compression! Well, an engine without compression cannot kick like that!

I put the motorcycle boot on my right foot and try again.
I remind you that the motorcycle is on a glazed balcony.
Why is this mention important?

Yes, because the motorcycle:
a) started up!
b) was without a silencer at all

On point a - I was delighted, on point b - I almost screwed up! IN enclosed space 200 cc weak engine without a muffler sounds awesome!

drowned out. Neighbors rang at the door. Didn't open. :)))

I washed my hands of oil and again rushed off in search of a gasket between the exhaust port of the cylinder and the coarse muffler. Found.
Returned. Put. Complained.

And here is the first run. assembled engine produced with a starter!

Bliss! Just a thrill! The joy of the fact that the thing that you touched with your own hands has earned!
The question of why there was no compression - remained unexplained, so be it! :)))
It works - and well!

But maybe someone has a version about this? Share them please!

There is no muzzle on the motorcycle yet, I decided to leave the regular one, but I haven’t figured out how to make it, but I already wanted to go! Very!
The tail is also not welded - I tied it with wire!

I pull out the mot from the balcony. I put on the endurn gear, lower Lifan into the street and, finally, roll out!
Fabulous!!! How long have I dreamed about this!!! I have a motorcycle again!

I roll on the cold spring asphalt, breathe in the air of freedom and enjoy life!
Motorcycle brings joy!

Oh, at that moment I didn’t even imagine how this first trip of mine would end and that the consequences of the first trip would stretch for a long nine months ...

But that will be a topic for the next post.

• Chassis

• Appearance

• Comfort

Verdict

Like all chinese motorcycles, except for licensed ones, will last no more than 5 years with gentle operation, but will serve correctly. Further, in one moment, all rubber bands, plastic, gaskets, seals and wiring will dry out. The engine (if you follow the oil) honestly rolls back 20 thousand km. Then it is better to buy a new one than to repair it.

Chinese motorcycle equipment is steadily expanding the circle of its customers, taking an increasingly confident position in the market. New motorcycle is an example of a light small-capacity, capable of driving on almost any off-road. He will please his owner with excellent traction on low revs, good dynamics at the start, confident acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour.

The history of the creation of the model

Motorcycle lifan lf 200

Prototype power unit motorcycle has become japanese engine from . Chinese engineers brought the volume to 196.9 centimeters, increased the torque, which, judging by the reviews of the owners of the lifan lf 200 motorcycle, received a decent rating from users.
