I think we'll see more 125cc bikes in the US if the importers have them ready with EPA and DOT approval when gas prices hit $4 per gallon. Minimum insurance requirements vary by state but here in...

I picked up a Posh Race Project stage II CDI for under $10. Tested it out on my Lifan 200 and have the same results as others. Misses at idle but seems to have slightly more power. I put the stock...

That's the model of tire that came stock on my 07 Lifan. IMO it's a good compromise between street and dirt. The front lasted 16,000 km and rear about 5000 km.

The air injection and catalytic converter shouldn't affect performance so I wouldn't remove them. I've seen the same setup on European bikes. My Hensim 250 street bike has the cats but not the air...

Did you pay in full by using a credit card? That's the only way I would buy an ATV, motorcycle, or any expensive item on line.

Motorcycles are still the cheapest way for me to commute. 70 mpg, $75 a year for insurance, but tire prices suck. I go through at least 2 tires a year on the Lifan GY5. Next year I'm going to see if...

It worked but I don't remember many flywheels becoming demagnetized. It was just a set of coils that the flywheel fit over. You plugged it into the wall for a few minutes and TA-DA, strong magnets...

A Metro is the 90s VW. Aside from the rust problem they have when they live in areas where road salt is used, they are great little cars. Way better gas mileage than a VW, more reliable, and a better...

A delta trike layout (one wheel in front) is the least stable but most maneuverable in tight spaces. They're great for the narrow and slow inner city "streets" of Europe, Japan, China. They're also...

I've been involved with Piaggio since I was a little kid. Here's a short article from Scootourist Magazine June 1963 about my dad's Vespa shop. I'm glad they are doing well.

Some aluminum could probably be removed in order to fit one more tooth. I don't think there's anything but air space around the flywheel on the other side. Just easier to replace the rear. Only $25...
