I wonder if there will be a modest horsepower boost as well.

EFI, 200cc, and 5 speed with some great gearing… that would be fantastic. And not difficult to do… even 250cc.
A US importer could probably order up something like this - American motorcycle licenses are for all-size bikes, when other countries can have classes (eg 50cc and under, 50-125cc, 400c and under, unlimited, etc) A 125 or 150cc version, and a 250cc version? That’s be awesome… especially if they can figure out not just parts but aftermarket. |

Is that just the place you parked it for the photo, or is the campground a bit rustic as far as ground goes. Just wondering if you have to ride it in 'trailbike' terrain and how the bike does.

That was just a picture taken by the marina at the lake. I’ve taken it down some dirt roads and rock roads, it does pretty good on those, dirt more so than rocks. I do plan on taking it trail riding when I can. Unfortunately the trails here are just for walking, no bikes or vehicles. My daughter and her husband have a membership at an exclusive off road park so I’ll be able to take it there soon I hope.

Herbie, what's that little pack you have on the rear seat?

It's just a little bag to hold my cap and gloves and rain suit if I need it.

Yeah I think motocheez did that on one of his bikes too. I may make some mods to it but honestly, my wife said she would like to get her motorcycle endorsement and ride it alongside me and my KPR. That would be a dream come true for me! So for now I will probably keep it as is, it has really good pickup and speed for a 150cc, surprised me actually. Besides I have my newly acquired Kawasaki KL250 for the trails, if I ever get it done

I’ve been asked a few times lately if I still like the bike, if I’m glad I bought it? Let me just say this little over $2k machine is a hoot. I like it more each time that I ride it. I just changed the oil for my 500 mile service and it’s running like a top! The only issue I have is that the gas tank is small. Only about a gallon or a touch more of fuel before you hit reserve. I find myself at the gas station on every long ride but the trade off is how fun this bike is. It’s super easy to ride, would make a great beginner bike or even a good bike for a rusty ole nail like myself

That was always the selling point when we first were introduced to the Grom. Then, it seemed to start a whole cult following of minis. For the most part, the Lifan has kind of become the 'king' of this segment, essentially out-Groming the Grom. Will be interesting to see how much difference the fuel-injection makes, with one difference being an increase in sales since it will be California street legal.
