wildfire dp 200
Don't worry guys no one has offended me. The bike in question is local and i would buy it and pick it up. Like i have said my friends husband, had issues getting parts and had to drive to Ohio to a wildfire wholesaler to get his parts, (NOT COOL). I appreciate the feedback from ejcycles, it sounds like american lifan has a truly well built bike with good parts backing. On a 1400. to 900.00 dollar china bike how good can the warranty actually be? I don't mean this rudely, but if you buy a brand new motocross bike that baby is yours.
no problem and thanks |

Buy the bike if you like it and are comfortable working on it. The parts are cheap to find. Most lifan/roketa/shineray/hibird/etc parts interchange.
Big thing is to make sure you can register it. Allen

Parts are so much easier to get now than two years ago, its not even a real concern to me now.(well until that quake hit)
I wonder how things are going over at China Lifan and how it will impact American Lifan. From my understanding China Lifan is located in the city of Chongqing which is very near to the epicenter of that nasty quake. (I'm probably wrong though) |

I would tend to think that this bike is nothing better or worse than any other China bike. In fact, I think it is manufactured by Hi-Bird, so you can contact Hi-Bird for parts. You can keep up with what needs to be done with your bike here. That is what we are here for.
