I would say yes. The KP 150 has more HP.

The Papio is EFI and a six speed. But… it claims 9.4 hp @ 8,500 rpm.

The KP150 claims 12.2hp/8000 RPM.

Do you need EFI? That 6th gear?

I am guessing that Lifan wanted the potentially lucrative California market for this bike. Ironically, when it was first introduced a few years ago, there seemed to be a batch of the bikes that were CARB certified for California. Then, they became 49-state legal with Californians not needing to apply (anymore). Fuel injection was probably able to push it over that last 'hump' for California's sacred CARB blessing. I know there is a fledgling mini-racing scene in the so-called Inland Empire just outside of L.A. and I could see this bike being very competitive now that it is legal again there. When these were first being introduced, there was a press release from Lifan in China showing them in full racing trim with slick tires and no street-legal equipment and I had always thought that American Lifan should promote a one make KPMini budget racing league of sorts.

As far as a 6th...why not, but I doubt it would be a deal-breaker for most without it (it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me by any means).

I still have the $100 discount code from Venom if you wanted to get a Ss3, I’d be happy to give it to you Pastor. Thanks for the encouragement, I think I needed that, had kind of a rough day yesterday.
