Lifan LF200-18 liquid cooled V-twin cruiser

[tcs]

Following on the heels of their new 250cc liquid cooled supermoto is Lifan's new liquid cooled 200cc LF200-18 V-twin cruiser.

Styling is kinda V-ROD and kinda Kawasaki Vulcan Meanstreak, but, refreshingly, doesn't seem to be just a reproduction of an old Japanese model. Except for the Jaguar hood ornament on the front fender, I think it comes off fairly well.

It uses their 2V50ML engine.

1)It's shocking how new the Chinese motorcycle industry is and how quickly they're evolving.
2)Liquid cooling allows more power, lower emissions, quieter operation and longer life.
3)No, I don't have any information or rumors about when - if ever - this bike might be exported.
4)BTW, and to jack my own thread, it looks to me like Lifan's 172MM2 300cc liquid cooled single would fit into their LF200-B sport standard bike's frame and bodywork. Hmmmm.

Best,
TCS
