Hm? Lifan/TW mix? anybody else see this model?

moresnow · 04-02-2013, 09:04 AM

Lifan LF250GY-2(COSSACK 250). Looks like it would fit in next to my TW well. Likely that it's not available here in the US but it looks like fun!

Nice looking bike! I like the six speed, but I wish it had a kicker.

Historically unfortunate/inappropriate name though, although the Chinese are not exactly known for human rights...:roll:

Very nice bike. Kind of reminds me of the Beta Alp 4.0. The Beta Alp 4.0 has the Suzuki DR350 engine in it.

Sure like that look. Whats wrong with this country? Why not embrace cheap fuel efficient transportation? Makes little sense to me.....

Makes sense until you ride a bike with over 100hp. You'll never question gas mileage again.

FastDoc · 04-02-2013, 11:21 PM

Nope, I don't give a rat's pitootee about mileage, but range matters to me.

moresnow · 04-03-2013, 08:51 AM

HP creates smiles agreed! Had my share of high powered bikes years ago however. I must be getting old. For some reason I seem to be easily satisfied on the low powered machines these days. Guess I'm in no hurry anymore. :wink:

zingshoen · 04-03-2013, 09:47 AM

power to weight ratio matters says mr smartiepants :roll:
and it is sad if you don t have a clarke fuel tank :?

there is a saying around here: "great guys ride small bikes"
what do you make of that?

:wink:

FastDoc · 04-03-2013, 11:14 AM

My collection ranges from an antique Honda CB175 to an 1850cc 6 cylinder Honda Gold Wing.

Unless I'm going far or fast or with Linda I usually ride the 175. 8)

katoranger · 04-03-2013, 03:33 PM

I no longer have that need for speed. I have the need for mileage. Plus something about a simple small bike is appealing.

moresnow · 04-03-2013, 06:05 PM

Now if we could only get some warmer weather! I guess it really doesn't matter what we all are riding anyway. Hope to have some riding pics soon.

fishman10 · 04-03-2013, 09:11 PM

SpudRider · 04-04-2013, 04:20 AM

That really is a nice looking, little motorcycle.

I also like small displacement, single cylinder, air cooled, simple-to-maintain, dual sport motorcycles!

My friend Merle JUST BOUGHT one identical to yours. Same year, same color. Complete running bike with a title, needs cleanup/restoration though.

About $1,000, IIRC.

Little Sweetie is a very well loved bike by myself and Linda.
