Thank you for doing a review of this bike! I've been on the fence about getting one for months now.
It's definitely my favorite China bike right now!
Super excited for you! Nice bike!!!
Nice. I just ordered myself one this past Friday. I’m excited. It’ll be my first bike
Awesome! Great bike to learn on.
Been waiting on this one!
I love this channel so much man! You are living every little boys dream!
🤣👍
A very complete, well-filmed, edited and presented Video. You got me interested in this bike (even though I already have a few) and your video provided me with what felt like a very reliable review. Thank you! I will be interested in your observations about the bike after a long term.
Thanks! I have a playlist on this bike with a few videos already.
Hey man, thanks for taking the time and effort in sharing your experience and knowledge with these china bikes. I and many others very much appreciate what you do. Keep it up! :)
Thanks
Yes!!! You got one!!!! I'm looking very forward to up coming videos for this bike!!! I'm thinking hard about buying one!
You won't regret it. Unbelievable quality for Chinese bike.
OMG! Rock and Roll Cheez!
Motocheez to the Rescue.
I missed not see your video!
I was sad until you uploaded a New video.
Ya Ya I can bee happy again!
Thank you Motocheez
HawkX video uploading now... 😁👍🧀 thanks
Great video you did an excellent job on the build and the bike looks like a blast to ride.
Thanks I did screw up on the front brake hose routing it does go between the wheel and the fork and that seal is for the speedometer sensor, I did updated videos that are in description
Hey man, thank you very much for your video. I didn’t get the manual actually I didn’t get anything except a bag of screws and bolts so this video was awesome. Very helpful and I appreciate you. Have a great day.
Awesome! Have been waiting on this one. Thank you brother. Love my KPX.
Didn't get caps with my battery either. Bought acid and trying to find some caps. Just bought new battery so I could ride.
Very comfortable, plenty of power and torque, and a blast to ride.
I knew you'd love it 😁. The headlight for night rides is unreal.
TXpowersports sent me another battery w acid
@@MotoCheez awesome. Looking forward to the next video brother. 👍
I like. Was looking at the brozz and they are out of stock but this has more of what I want. I've been kind of worried about a Chinese fuel injection with no support but y'all haven't had any trouble so maybe this is it. Hope everything is ok after Idalia passes. Good luck. Keep making these videos on this bike, I'll be watching
Great review man, hope to see you trick it out with mods. Pretty fun reading all the hater comments, too.
😁👍
good looking panel gauge and even have a linkage which is nice and LED lights and front and rear disc brake.
Great job on video every details!!!! I pick mine up at power sport dealer so never seen what looks like all apart and thanks for that!!!
Agreed about kick stand!!! Can’t wait see you chop up shorter haha!!!
Thanks! Congrats on new bike! I like it
Thanks for the review. You really help me out a lot
Thanks for watching!😁
This is going to be my first bike...ever! Luckily there's a dealer in my state that has them! Thanks for convincing me!
Awesome! Use your MotoCheez discount too!
Oh so nicely overview! I like it.
From Russia with love❤
Good luck
Thanks!
Good looking bike, really like the dash!
I'm not gonna lie. I'm kinda impressed! Good review!
So was I! Thanks
You out did your self on the details of assembly. It was like being in a motorcycle mechanics 101class. Having ABS lifan could Conner the first bike market. Looking forward to motorcycle mechanics class 102.
😂😂👍👍🧀
Looks ok, hopefully they will stand the test of time. I hope so cause I need one to go back and forth to work.
Nice vid. I have an Xpect 200. It’s a nice little bike, especially good to learn on. I changed out the oil it shipped with and used break in oil, which I changed at 100 and 500 mi. After break in I did a valve adj and change oil every 1000 mi. I now have 3,500 trouble free miles on it.
Yeah they seem to be good bikes so far, I've seen some of the first ones that came out like 7 years ago and they're pretty good still holding up. I used to change the oil and the China bikes years ago because I used mineral oil to ship it but it even states in a manual that the oil that's in is good and I can pretty much confirm it cuz the oil I drained out of it is definitely good quality oil it's not thin mineral oil
Did you really find the valves needed to be adjusted every 1,000? Like they were out of spec every thousand?
@domenik8339 no, the engine I put in my condor 150 was a cg250 w 7000 miles , never adjusted and wre only a little off
Excellent review. Thanks!
Thanks!
Mine is getting delivered today and I am beyond excited. Coming from a Tao Db17 this will be a massive upgrade in every way.
Congratulations!! Your going to love it. Let me know
Got the bike together last night and out for a first ride. Fired up first try, everything worked out of the box. Extremely smooth and snappy engine, I will be upgrading to some knobbier DOT tires asap. @@MotoCheez
@jasonbaldwin6760 awesome! Me too
Is it what you had hoped for ?
Hold up ?
Love the experience of exploring a new bike.Lots of bikes have shot up 30 percent in cost in the last couple years.Lifan might do well capitalizing on that.
Yep
5 year 11000 mile warranty from Lifan USA too
@@MotoCheezisn’t that 5 year warranty only on the emissions equipment?
@LuvADuc yes, up to 3 on engine
Welcome to the world of the true 250cc counterbalanced China bikes Cheezy. It's going to be good!
Another solid review that can be used to make an informed purchase decision, thanks for the extra effort you put into your films which make them enjoyable to watch while learning. That being said there are some quality issues which work against the $1,000 price difference, especially verses the Templar X 250 which has the same counter-balanced engine sans the EFI.
I was looking at the specs of the x 250 and engine specs say 14 hp and 20 on the Livan engine,why is that so different
@kevinswanson3910 the X-pect has the CG pushrod engine
Needed that Cheeze ,Thanks. I'd like to get one.
Lacy Underall ! It sounds really good ,Cheezy. They sure have enough warning stickers on the tank.
Lol
Great riding vids that you put out in the back country and when the pumpkin wall shows up its a favorite . We used to vacation in Hillsdale New York at a cabin on Pumpkin hill road on route 22 just past route 23. Maybe one day you can take a ride up there and record it for me. Mom would never let us take our bicycles up there because of the way the city slickers drove on those back roads, fast and furious. We would start on route 22 and make a loop and end up in Crayville New York and if you blinked one time you missed the town.hahahaha
I know exactly where that is, I haven't been up that way in a long time. Would be a nice cruise to go up and make that loop back through Connecticut. Maybe someday in the future for sure
Sounds very similar in specs to the orion rxb 250 efi. Orion is supposedly 270 lbs though. Haven't weighed mine but its top quality for a Chinese bike. Their new pre order is supposed to have 25 hp. Can't wait for your review :)
Yeah I think their weights are off, it feels more like 270 to 280 lb. It does not feel like 330 lb. 25hp, nice
Seems very identical to the csc tt250 . Very good review as always thanks for the video 📹
Thanks!
CSC has a carburetor though and a 230cc engine
Thanks i was one asking for this review but pulled the trigger and got one about a month ago in green as well and so far so good now we need to find a exhaust its too quiet for me lol
Nice!, 8 like it quiet but want a better map for efi
So excited.....Love it, put some miles on the puppy.
I like it. Congrats
Nice. I wish I had the patience to watch this before assembling my KPX250. I was happily surprised with the fit and finish, the shipping. Unlike you, I received the battery electroltye and it was easy and clean, and then the battery had plenty of power to start. I had exact same issues as you with forks & cross threading the rack bolt and the extra parts. But I found that seal went onto speedo pickup around the front axle. Advise to new assemblers, examine the front fork parts, before putting on the front wheel. 3/15/2024
Nice! Agreed
Great assessment of the new lifan motorcycle. I hear the Lifan motors are the best and to have a 6 speed, thats cool..You describe things very articulated and I learned a lot from your review. Are you gonna change the stickers on it like a lot of people do like on the Ice Bear Champion CT 70 clones to say Honda on them ? I really like the Honda XR 150 L's that just came to the US, but I don't think they can go past 60 MPH . Great Vlog thank you very much, you are good at what you do. Be blessed
Yes, they're proven good for many years. Nah, I'll keep the stickers on as long as they stay. Thanks!
I like it. Those welds could be prettier, sure, but I like it.
It looks like that’s a lot of bike for the money. I’m sure that performance improvements can be made! I’m not positive but I’m thinking that Lifan produced the motors for the first BMW F650 bikes. Great Video!!! Keep up the good work!!
Hmm maybe. Thanks!
It was Rotax that made those.
Back in 2006 I bought from a local dealer a LF200 GY 5 200cc dualsport motorcycle. Have rode it every year and it is now 2024 and I will be riding it again this summer. Tires, batteries oil changes and valve adjustments. It has been a very good bike. Never any problems. Lifan makes very good bikes for the money.
💯💯👍
wew nice 1 bro
Exactly in 2006 i bought a 125 cg lifan honda copy. Still ride it with over 60 ooo miles. Two years ago i changed the piston. And changed the clutch plates abt 5 times. Apart from that: no problems. Still going fine
@PaulstefanMartin I feel they make a great product!
You need to get on ya bike Cheezy and head south. Big storm coming your way. Hope the new home comes through OK. Cheers Dave.
Fingers crossed
I like the way you ripped the stickers off. LOL THATS THAT.
😂🤪
Nice job...Just finished an electric conversion, goes 70ish and charges with solar, for the inevitable, unstoppable coming apocalypse...Self sufficiency is vastly under rated..I might pick that one up though, seems like they finally matured enough to dip my toes in...
That's awesome, you have videos on it?
@@MotoCheez Nah No video's, it's the QS 8000 watt mid drive motor 72 volts, on a stealth bomber frame, with a good bit of welding and metal fabrication..I'm usually too busy, and don't want to learn the video editing skills..I'm building a battery for my solar system now, just got the cells in the mail yesterday from 18650 battery in Georgia..(16) 3.2 volt 280AH EVE cells that I'll build in series/16s, to make a 14.4 kilowatt battery..I already have 3 of them built, and in service, this is the last one..Complete energy independence..Those blue cells will be like blue bars of gold, someday soon..When I'm done getting as self sufficient as possible, finish my AIRBNB cabins, I probably will make some videos...I'm not too far from you, I'm in the Shindagin Hollow State Forest outside of Ithaca, and have a spot in Adirondacks, maybe we'll go for a ride someday, when I'm visiting my sister over that way.
@realeyesrealizereallies6828 sweet!
This the second time I’ve watched this video.
Your review has sold me!
This bike would make a killer budget adventure bike. Some decent tires, maybe some aux lights, and some light luggage and it would be a lot of fun.
Do you have any plans on doing upgrades, like exhaust and such?
That's actually pretty good idea. Now no mod yet until I could figure out how to remap the computer, I don't know if you saw that episode but my programmer doesn't have this computer in it
My 1971 Honda CL175 made 20hp and could do 75 mph. I'd love to have that bike today for commuting around town.
Them old bikes put out the horsepower for sure, the XR 250R road bike was over 30 horsepower! I think they too knees way down for the road for longevity, even my 2018 CRF250L that I owned was only the same horsepower as this
Thanks for all the videos motocheez! I can’t tell you how many times you’ve helped me. I switched to Chonda’s 5 years ago when I bought my first (and so far only) Hawk 250. It’s been such a blast. Been thinking lately about jumping up in HP and thought this Lifan would be a good option, of course keeping my Hawk also. I don’t see the dealer link in the comments can you let me know where you ordered yours? Again, thanks for the videos and please keep it up!
Thanks! 😁
The Lifan def has a few more HP. Got tir from TXpowersports.com. Don't forget code Motocheez for discount!
Big congrats man shEEeeeSsH😍 good gosh she purrrty Great Vid man def 💯💪🏼
Thanks!
@@MotoCheez no diggity no doubt ✨️
Was a dealer for American Lifan. Not as refined as a Japanese machine but they worked well. They made a shaft drive 110 ATV that was great. We sold a lot of those.
Spare parts available ?
Nice! Glad to hear that
From what I saw, there are plenty
@@MotoCheez good 2 know, thx
Cheesy…
Put some STAYBIL, FUEL stabilizer in the tank always.
And use SEA FOAM too.
5 year 11000 mile warranty on emissions, 1 year on engine, 6 months the rest of the bike. from American Lifan

@timpindell8178 I'ma have to talk to them, aye?
@@MotoCheez that's spooky man I can't lie I have to worry about Bob the crackhead and you git Bob da Cat lol
The oil filter is a standard Honda Oil Filter. I picked up 5 of them from Ebay and use a paper version. I would guess they are installing a reusable filter for the markets this bike is sold in that may not have access to replaceable filters.
I think I have one of those on my shelf, but the way the oil fed in and then came out look pretty weird
I had a Lifan 200 and it was a great little bike, finding neural was sometimes difficult but otherwise a great little bike. Very torquey engine, much better than the Honda CRF 250 I bought next. Sorry I sold it.
Was it the 163FML engine?
@domenik8339 it's a CB250, 249cc OHC 6 speed, Lifan version
BEAUTY 🤟🤠
i guarantee that engine and bike will run forever, once i had a chinese 4 stroke 50cc, it was top notch. sold it eventually, thought id used it enough.
You'd be surprised how many haters come on here and say the opposite. Over 6 years I've had these Chinese bikes they're duplicates of the Japanese bikes and I haven't had really any major problems. I've owned Japanese bikes that have been blown up transmissions bad, frame broken etc. Has not happened to any of my China bikes yet!
exactly, and my aprilia sr50 was not good quality, the tiny belt that ran the oil pump was like a rubber band.@@MotoCheez
@@MotoCheezI'd bet that 10 years from now the China bikes are gonna be well liked and sought after. They just get better and better, and their prices are unbeatable.
@domenik8339 just like the Japanese bike! I agree
@domenik8339 China already making parts and bikes for Japanese companies
Sweet! Time will tell. But these chinese bikes seem to hold up. I got a good feeling about it. Cant wait to see ya rip it after its break in period!!
Better make sure you check every bolt before and after riding even with this counter-balanced motor! I found 3 loose ones that really need to be torqued down!
I did. Always do w new bikes. Old too lol
Hi, Great Review and Thanks for showing all the Details of putting it together, and the Oil Filter. It looks like it came with a really nice Users Manual. Did you have any problems getting it Titled? I’m really impressed with it. Not only on the looks and the build, but also the Top Speed. I think Lifan has me Sold for my next Bike. Also, I have had great dependability with my Predator Generator. The 420cc Engine in the Generator runs like a Dream. Thanks for taking us along, I never even heard of Lifan. I Ride a R1200GS now and I’m looking for a smaller Bike to have some fun on.👍👍
Registering is easy in FL. Not sure about other states TBH. Chinariders.net has good info on registration by state
@@MotoCheez Thanks for the Information. I Live in Texas and not Communist California, so I should be ok. I’m really impressed with that Bike, plus it’s Cheap compared to the Major Brands.👍
@joeybobbie1 Texas should be fine! I agree
@joeybobbie1 and the oil filter can be upgraded to paper element, I just did on last episode
Hey moto cheez, love the video! Theres another bike that just came outpast few weeks thats pretty good for a about $500 more, orion Rxb 250L H.O EFI 25hp 250cc 6speed counterbalance! $3300 including shipping and full assembly! Thansk for another video!
I wonder how many horsepower it is? I heard it's the same engine
@MotoCheez 24.2 to be exact, their original Rxb 250l might be the one you're thinking of. Not much info or videos, I'm ordering it this week and I'll let you know how it is!
@98JordanG yes, keep me posted
Hey cheez, I have about 266 miles on it now I gotta say this thing is a beast the suspension is amazing, not even done breaking it in yet lol
@MotoCheez went off some decent jumps with it and a couple wheelies, super fun.
If you want a paper element filter a Wix 24944 is what you need O'Reillys and Napa both stock them.
Thanks! I'm going to order some and update links in description
Добрый день! Может Вы знаете какой номер у воздушного фильтра на этот мотоцикл?
@user-pt8dr5sm2h I have not removed the air filter on this yet so I'm not sure, sorry
Nice
almost bought one but went with the CSC RX4. I got it on sale for only $1k more. has a 450 engine and is stock with luggage. Hopefully, I made a good decision. Regardless, I think the KPX is a great bike for the money
450 must be nice!
Ouch a 500lb off road bike / no thanks
Thanks for the great review video on this bike really like this bike might have to get one. You dont put grease on the front axle? I did on my brozz is that wrong of me?
You can, it probably would help from any kind of water getting into that area but they are sealed bearing and it's really not necessary. But probably a good idea
Deveria vir pra o Brasil ❤
Thanks for the Excellent appraisal! (You missed one🤔 “ …that’s where the screw goes…”. 😉that’s what she said… 😂😂)
😁👍👍🧀🧀
I hope you're at least 15 feet above sea level down in Florida, storm surge could go that high. Idalia is building quickly and could reach Cat4 intensity. Landfall near Cedar Key projected.
Good lookin' Chinesium scooter. I hate cross-threaded from the factory! That sucks.
We about 13 feet I believe, flood zone is 9' and that's in the woods on my land
On the lifan web site they show some 350 cc 400cc and 450cc bikes liquid cooled . Only available in China tho . Im hoping to see them offer something similar here. Thanks for another review cheezy
Can't wait for them bigg CC bikes to get here. I guess CSC has some
CSC ? Can they hook me up ?
@daniellatourette2980 probably. I've tried to work with them for reviews, they flat out are not interested. Not sure why
For real can’t believe no 450’s out yet, that’s where the money is at
What a great time to introduce this bike. I have been anxiously waiting for lifan to bring more bikes to the US. Everyone is praising Honda saying their $3,000 150L is a great buy, meanwhile they're selling it for $1,200 USD out the door in Asia. American buyers get fucked with pricing, so Lifan couldn't have brought this here at a better time.
The truth of the matter is, right now if a bike is above 3K, it's not selling in the US. My local Honda has had the same africa twin sitting in their dealership for nearly 3 years. They refuse to take in the honda 750 because it would be there for a decade. But the navi, grom and XR150L they can't keep in stock.
I've heard there XR150 is closer to $4500 by the time they add their fees and assembly costs.
6 SPEED!! WOO HOO!!!😃😃
Two thumbs up on the video as well as the bike.. A huge job to edit, and it came out perfectly. This video may set your record for the number of views, and it will be a good reference video for many months. Rookie question here: Is screwing in the dipstick to check the oil normal on this bike and the Hawk. I was surprised by that, and wasn't surprised that the oil was reading high with that method. Does the user manual say to screw in the dipstick to check the oil, or is it not specified in the manual?
Yesterday, the storm track had the storm coming closer to Crystal River, than the track today. Right now, the eye is quite a bit offshore and about the latitude of Tampa. Winds are still light at my house, and I think you won't have any serious trouble at your place. I will drive over to Crystal River in the morning, and let you know what I find.
I can't find whether to screw in a dipstick or not, I know the most other Japanese bikes that I've owned say screw in the dipstick and so do the small engines I've owned. I had another guy say not to screw it in. It does not say in the manual. My son is on his way up to go to a wedding but my parents are still in homosassa and they're going to keep me posted I guess they're staying put riding it out
Yeah if you head down that way definitely give me an update
@@MotoCheez Coming from the predator and tillotson 212 honda clones on mini-bikes that the dip stick just get pressed into the hole but not skrewed on for reading. Probably going to be close enough with these engines either way I'd hope.
@psavar97 ha. YeAh, at least there's oil in it! 😁
That seal you had goes on the speedo connector at the wheel!
Looked to big, I'll check
Maybe an extra for where the oil filter goes?
You were right!!!! ruclips.net/video/bkgGUBF63_Q/видео.html
Hey man hopfully you didn't go underwater from the storm I'm in spring hill and it was ugly in some spots hope all is well
No, house didn't get any damage or flooding, was a out 2 miles away where they flooded. Thanks
If I get another bike that's going to be the one.. even has a key fob like mine! 😂 Nice ride!
Forgot to mention 5 year 11000 mile warranty from Lifan USA.
@@MotoCheez 5 year warranty? Amazing value for the price. Nice to see a company stand behind their product like that...
Bring it on down here. That would make a great video. I bet it might smoke me.
Haha. It may come down after I put the garage up
@@MotoCheez Crazy how much like the CRF250L it is. The garage will be a good addition to the Cheezy Compound. 🫡
Hey cheez it's Tony, I still have the hawk we bought together. I think I want one of those Lifans next.
Hey man. This bike is much better than the hawk
Cool bike I might have to get one . Nice video. Just want to say every Japanese bike runs the brake line inside the fork , curious why you wouldn’t do it as the assembly says because it keeps it from getting snagged on the outside and the holder on the fork guard takes out the slack to keep it from hitting the spokes.
I did switch it to the inside and put video link in description and on the 2nd video on this bikes playlist
I had one till recently a dodge ram hit me head on but b4 that i put 5000mi on the bike all i had to do was replace chain due to strech and do regular oil change and valve check/adjustment abt 2500 miles off road some hard enduro and many drops great bike
Damn, you get injured?
@MotoCheez yea broke my arm abt 15 places bones came out the top broke my fist and hand and broke both bones in left leg and left ankle broke my right knee 3 places and my right leg tibia and broke my nose I should b back to walking possibly riding by the end of this summer
Wrist not fist lol
@richardessary1061 oh man! Sorry. Get better soon, sounds bad!
@MotoCheez thx man I appreciate it enjoy the bike it should b a good one 4 u
GPX and Orion RBX used this engine and dash too. They put EFI on last year. The GPX FSE250E always intrigued me, cuz of the air cooled decked out enduro bike with good suspension....modern XR250R -ish. But warning, i had issues with Chinese EFI's. Mainly the injectors clogged early on, cuz of the chitty gas they used to test the engines and then shipped it leaving it in. And if they change the efi systems, u cannot buy the parts they used on previous models. Hopefully with more models using same software someone will pick up the aftemarket.
The Orion I rode down in Florida when that guy came over had a CG 250 engine, but that was a few years back
@@MotoCheez They all kinda use the same stuff. It started as the Honda 230 clone 5 speed. Then went to the 249 clone of another Honda i assume, and 6 speed. Efi came in '22. I was a fan of the NC engines they used in the bigger bikes, especially after putting dohc on them. But hey, Im late to the party. Just got a DRZ and think its the greatest thing ever LOL.
@tieoneon1614 this engine is a spin off if the Honda CB style. Yes Honda 230 based designs
That would be awesome in one of there mini Moto lifen bikes that they make similar to the Condor. I here there motors are perty dependable nice one a after market ECU definitely give it the boost oh ya👍💪🏍️🛠️💯✌️
I'll try the bike.
Just give me a shop manual and a parts list. I need one for everything else.
Pretty comprehensive.
Good video. When you video yourself driving from the rear, is that a drone following you and filming you?
No, it was an insta360 camera
@@MotoCheez wow. I can’t keep up with you. I bought the power Director and it is really good but I simply can’t keep up with a pro like you. Thanks. It is nice to learn. Your videos always make me laugh
@johngodwin7902 set up some keyboard shortcuts, I use A for back one clip S to cut a clip and d to delete and move clips
Nice! Been looking at this bike for a while. I got the brozz recon but it just doesn't have enough power... could you look into the Templar X 250 next? I am torn between this one and the Templar X.❤
I've reached out to XPro and they're not interested in any reviews, but from what I've heard they're similar, Lifan has been around for many years and has a better reputation
Wow I like it. Lot of bike for the money especially in this economy with everything going up.
Was it a no ring chain?.
And did you happen to get a count of the teeth on the front sprocket.
Is there a name on the fuel injection
No o-ring chain, q3t front and Lifan branded EFI
Now I’m waiting for a comparison between this and a Honda XR150L
Wish I knew someone who owned one now. The only few things I've heard on the Honda 150 was that the shocks were very soft for anyone over 200 lb and it was not very fast, but either is the hawk...
correction you do not screw in the oil dip stick you unscrew it clean it and the deap to see if it got the correct oil it say so in the manual i got the same bike here in greece
Yes, the next episode I clear that up
It has the same strange centre link as the rare Honda CRF230L. Works well but if it is a forged steel block it is very heavy.
All Aluminum
Haha! BETTER than the Honda one!!! Honda's should have been.@@MotoCheez
Awesome review on the bike cheese!! So it looks like it is sold as a dual-purpose (sport) bike?
I think I herd n the beginning of ur video its weight was 300+ ?
Whats ur opinion on this for a good beginner bike ?
Wanting the wife to learn. My DRZ is just over 300 now with all the light weight mods and power upgrades. Still to much for her.
Again thanks for the video!
Yeah I went off to wait that it said in the manual and there's no way it's right, it's it's basically the same weight as the hawk DLX I would say it was about 30 lb lighter than what they claim. I plan on taking it to my salvage yard to see if they weigh it on their scale for me tomorrow
@@MotoCheez Were you able to get an accurate weight?
@Sp33dyStallion no, I have not gone to weigh station, weather been raining most the time, had a decent day and took the hawk out.
I just put my order in with your code. $25 is $25! Wondering how long till I see it in Pennsylvania? And what immediate upgrades would you think to do aside from DOT nobbies? Got a buddy ready and a case of wobble pops for a build party.
Congratulations! Should be there in about a week. I'm going to put a nobby on eventually, going to get some miles on first.
Chinese manufacturers are progressing rapidly. I own a Voge 500DS for three years and enjoy it every day. It is a competitor (and a little bit of a copycat) of Honda CBX 500. Voge is a premium brand of Loncin. I don't think that it comes to the US (yet?) and that's a pity, otherwise you could test the Voge 300 Rally, competitor of (of course) Honda 300 CRF Rally. I enjoyed your video a lot. Greetings from Greece!
Yes, they manufacture for all of the major Japanese European and USA brands now
@@MotoCheez Yeap! Loncin and BMW are cooperating for all the inline 2 engines of BMW. And the scooter too. Anyway, the Chinese motorcycles are not equal yet to Japanese and European ones but very close and significantly cheaper. I'm not talking about the extremely cheap and crappy ones. But those which are made to compete with the others.
I like your channel a lot. Keep creating! 👌
@ManosS40 I'm actually going back and forth with another guy right now about how he says the China bikes are so garbage, I explain basically what you did Yes they are much better and come a long way today. Thanks!
@@MotoCheez The problem is that the have not lived (or have not read about) the era of the Japanese revolution of the 70s-80s or the South Korean of the 90s. Back then, we, the arrogant Europeans and Americans considered the Japanese (and later Korean) cars and motorcycles garbage. We now know how that went! 😆
@ManosS40 absolutely! Exactly what they call China bikes today they said about Japanese products
Thanks for this video. And all the instructions and calm Review.
I got this bike on 17 th Jan. And
I have ridden 7 years ago in India alot. But was a Honda Navi.
I have never ridden a Manual Before. So i started watching all the tutorials on how to ride it and safety rules . I dropped it while practising BUT thats because i didnt have the muscle power or i did not anticipated it to be this heavy. Which is not heavy i know.
But i m 5 11 and very lean. I weigh only 132 pounds .
BUT
The good news is already drove in last 3 days and i think this bike feels Really Smooth and easy to handle once i got a grip on it and also learnt how to change clutch.
THANK YOU and i cant wait to get out in the desert aroukd here. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's AWESOME! congrats
Good Cheez.
That front brake line in my field of vision would drive me bonkers! And that shock mount weld....yikes. Was seriously considering a KP Mini for awhile....was just hoping the QC was better than the rest.....time will tell......thanks for the review Cheezy!
Yeah most these new bikes, even Honda run that front brake line up now so when you compress the front forks it bows up instead of out by the wheel
makes sense...seems to be just begging to get caught and ripped by a branch!
Nice China bike sir, with good looks
Love you're review on the kpx 250 let me ask you about the Honda xr150 for same price witch one would you choose . Thank you
Thanks, the Dealers are marking up the XR150L almost $2000 over MSRP I've been told by several people.
Even if you could get it for the same price, I'd probably still choose the KPX250. Top speed on the XR150 is 55 mph I believe.
I've never had a chance to see the new XR150, I'm just going off what others tell me and what I see online.
Thank you for your response it's very helpful thanks again
Im da Guy who said it didnt say expect I know every thing about bikes ask me a question go ahead lol i think the commercial is actually showing a prototype of some sort they must of been cheap paying the actors to make a vid they really arent too popular in the states yet i had the kpmini over 4 years ago and still dont see them loved the kp mini tho this looks very promising awesome info and unboxAroony 💯
Probably. To check oil I always screw in dipstick, had a guy comment say check without screwing in... All bikes and small engines I've owned say screw in to check. Do you know?
@MotoCheez yea I'm just a dumbski idk got chased on my bike today shit was not smooth 😌
Love your vids Cheese. How does this compare to the templar X and the new orion rxb250 4 valve? Thanks.
