Hello From Tampa Bay
 
Hi,

Regards JoeLong

Welcome to here! Interesting that this bike has a 150cc engine and is a vertical thumper unlike the usual suspects' 125cc horizontal thumper. I wonder how your bike would stack up against the Lifan KPMini?

The KPMini was my 1st choice but after seeing MotoCheese's YouTube review I went with the cheaper 150. The big difference is the Condor has OHV as opposed to the KPMini's OHC which is most likely reflected in lower end torque as opposed to top end RPM's.

MotoCheese has had his over 60mph but the bike seems to like things around 50 which it gets to in about 10 seconds. I already swapped out the 15 tooth sprocket with a 17 tooth and converted it from a wheelie machine to a Florida cruiser.

I am thankful for finding Chinese bikes in general and a forum like this which supports them.

Regards - Joe.

Welcome Joe,
I too thought its cool that the Condor came with a vertical cg based motor. I bet the thing will last a good long time. I have to fight off the urge to own a Grom sized bike. I think they are too dang cool. Please keep us posted with you experiences with your Condor.

A little over 1K miles I can state without a doubt that it loses its fun factor once you go above 55mph. The small tires and high vibrations over 6k rpm tends to make the ride feel less stable especially in the rear end. Thankfully I have another bike for highway cruising and will most likely be selling the Condor in the future.

Too bad to hear this. The condor / X-Pro/Lifan/Vader 150 has more to give with an 18t front and 31t rear sprocket.
That's almost 1/3rd taller gears, meaning 1/3rd less rpm or it still should get you up to 60mph gps verified at ~6.5k rpm.

Change exhaust, carburetor, and intake, and it'll take you to 70.
