JerryHawk250's Lifan KPX250

[TominMO]

I wish they'd send over their version of the Honda Trail 125, called the Cub 125 ADV. Bump it to 140cc and sell it for $2000 - $2500. For city streets the KP Mini 150 fills that role, but it'd be nice to have a posty-style here too. But I'm thinking the Trail 125 is really just a niche bike in the US market, so probably no incentive for Lifan to do this. I'm sure they are very popular in SE Asia.

The KPV 150 should fit that market and has ABS. https://www.venommotorsportsusa.com/...48d0e083&_ss=r

Well it does, but for me it's too scootery. I would want something more motorcycley. Also I'd lose the double seat and go with the Honda setup, that huge rear rack you could park a Buick on. The Honda is great, but not gonna pay that kinda bux for a little runabout.

Thanks, I think you need one of these.

I think you're right. But I'm struggling now LOL. Struggling with the fact that even though that bike is VERY nice and worth every penny. Its creeping up there with the likes of a KLX 230 or 300. My cheap arse might go back to the ole trusty Hawk.

The quality of the KPX250 is right there with the name brand bikes. It even had a 2 year warranty. Lifan has been very quick to answer any question I had. The quality is leaps and bound above the Hawk.

At least i'd know it would be going to a good home. She's already complaining she can't get to her ATV. lol

Still not seeing the KPX listed on Venom's website. Been checking since before you got yours.

Edit: Called Venom and he said to do a search on their website for KPX. Did it while talking to him and it came up. Might order it tomorrow (my birthday/cheesy's retirement).

He said they got 100 of the green ones, and only 15 are left after a few weeks!

I just emailed Venom to let them know that they need to move the available bikes to page one and not bury them in the sold out bikes.
