Sadly, we never got the adventure bike, the KPT. I actually think, if they can add it to their lineup, it would still sell. If the price was in the same range as the KPR200/KP200/KPM200 there would be people, like me, getting one in place of a dual-sport. It has the versatility of adding travel cases which would help Lifan sell accessories. The price would undercut the RX3, which is more of an adventure touring bike anyway. I do think the KPT is the best cross of adventure tourer and dual sport. Of course, if they took their NBF engine and put it in an actual dual-sport, such as the X-Pect (of course with rear disc brake and USD forks) would singlehandedly up the image of Chinese dual-sports here.
