The specs are interesting. I could not find any reviews or videos of it online. Seems like nobody is talking about this one. 16 HP. It's length is 72 inches (6 feet), you could classify as a mini bike. The Lifan KP150 is 70 inches for comparison. it has double the Max Torque of the KP150. By the way Venom Motorsport now has Lifan KP150 listed in their site as Venom KP-Mini 150cc Lifan Motorcycle. It has Honda engine and claims top speed of 75 mph but gauge shows maximum of 70. This is probably the highest cc minibike out there. Disc brake on both wheels. Weights like a mini bike. Electric start but sadly no kick start as backup. I'm curious if one buys this bike does it come with four mirrors as seen in the pics. I question how do you get parts for this bike except by contacting Venom motorsport. I tried searching for parts online (aliexpress & ebay) I get Harley Sportster stuff. Which is what this bike is based on so it might work. So what do you guys think about this bike? Is it worth it?

I see. Looking at the pics again and in that thread, it looks like it disc brake front wheel and drum brake rear wheel. But Venom says FREE FRONT & REAR HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES ($150 value)?

Most of those website don't always get the specs correct. Look at the pictures on there website. Rear disk.

Here are the specs from the manufacturer. http://www.df-motor.com/product_show.asp?id=750

I don't know why dealers feel they have to put false information on there websites like all the so call upgrades. It's all standard and i'm almost positive it has aluminum rims but could be wrong. Barnone can verify all that information.

On a low powered lightweight street bike I wouldn't care about having a rear drum. I have a rear drum on my 2000 V Star Classic. It's nealy 530lbs ready to ride without me on it and it stops pretty well.
