No China bike yet but looking.

I am a 60 year old owner of a Victory Vegas and a Kawasaki KLR 650. But I am looking for a street legal minibike or scooter. I don't really need one, but they look so fun. The kymco Spade and the Lifan KP mini have caught my eye.

Welcome to here! Both of those bikes would make great minis, but if you have some mechanical skills and want to save some cash, the Vader 125 seem to be a decent bike for the price. I like the idea of the KP since it uses a vertical 150cc thumper and has a 5-speed transmission and can get up to 60 to 65 mph. Someone in the 'Street' section has a thread about his Kymco Spade which is a higher quality bike than most Chinese bikes, but with a higher price tag.
