OK so i have this bike 1000 plus k on the clock, no its not a honda but up to now all good,
road tyres fitted now as the standard were deadly,
handling good , comfortable, had to top up frunt shocks as bit sloppy,
had local mechanic check it all out ready for my trip at new year(couple weeks away)
many admirers of the bike when parked up there is nearly always someone sat looking and talking about it on my return,
have spoke to two thai guys with 175 and 200 lifan and they can not prase them enough,

Guys if i wanted a rolls i would have bought a Honda but for this price what a steel,

beware tho , purchased from a dealer in Chiang mai, took it for aoil change twice while i went to study thai,
payed him for an oil change 2 times, 3rd oil change was to synthetic elswhere as he said no can do,
oil out was black as Tar, he had not changed my oil(yes my fault for not checking) and he took my money, do not trust what you dont see here,
will keep you posted, please look at gt rider as i have posted there,
jap bike bias riders please give these a bit of a chance, until you know a bit more about them,
the build quality is better than Lifan with a strong solid frame, yes plastics look a bit drab to a honda but what do you expect for the price,
buy the way this bike with off road tyres done everything and went everywhere off road where and wd weth ease as the honda did,

one thing is the geering is different to the crf, im in third hes in fourth im in 4th hes in 5th

couldnt upload pictures up to yet so will try
so check out link below where i have posted

It's far easier to store you images on Photobucket, or another photographic host website. If you read either of the two threads to which I referred, you will be able to post your images quickly. ;)

yes the best band ever,(the smiths) please look at the forum on thaivisa.com about this bike,
iv posted there as well and there is a thread about the platinum px250

looking for a set of 50/50s now as the %100 tires that came with were leathal on the road and low grade rubber, so put Michelin pilots %100 road

having a problem sourcing them here in chiang mai being both 17inch
anyone know of any good grade 50/50s made in 17inch please let me know???
