Thanks to Wild Alaskan's youtube video post, this one was nearby. It looks like a nice bike, but not sure if it ever made it to North America. Anyone know?

Thank you for posting the link to the nice video, Culcune! I had not heard of the Lifan 400 until now. I am not a cruiser fan, but that is a pretty nice bike, with a drive shaft! :)

Spud, this bike was shown on the old American Lifan website for a couple of years, but I think it was more tease. I think they were gauging interest to see if it would be feasible to go for EPA approval. I could be wrong and it did make it to the US, but no one on chinariders ever mentioned owning one.

I would guess if Lifan had imported this bike, someone on these forums would have bought one; it looks like a pretty nice motorcycle. :) Thank you for posting the nice video. If Lifan every brought this bike to the United States, someone will probably speak up and let us know about it. ;)

Thank you for posting the link, Paulu. :) The Lifan site indicates this motorcycle is "coming soon" to the United States. However, many of these motorcycles are announced, but never actually arrive on our shores. ;) Nevertheless, we will certainly keep looking for the LF400. :)
