Hello! (echo, echo, echo)

Tejasmud, (aka Eric), here in the North DFW area.

Cool site, for just LIFAN? I assume, although one should never assume anything while riding, or working on a machine.

Anyway, while I am not new to motorcycles, I am new to LIFAN.
Actually I have my eyes on a 2008 LF200-B, for putting around town, and commuting to work, which is about 5 miles away in 45 mph traffic. I don't need sheer power, I have other bikes for that.

Actually, the GPM and price is what caught my attention. Also the wider tires, brakes compared to the LF200 iii, and I like the styling better.

From what I have read so far on these bikes, not much of an aftermarket. Oh, and check every nut and bolt, but that's with any machine. Apart from a few tweaks like braided lines, possibly different brake pads for comfort, I don't care to do much to it other than maintenance. I do all my own work on my machines, well, for the excption of changing tires. Sorry, don't do tires, possibly long story for another day. I have also read some of the comments in the order of getting what you pay for, (no jab, just summing into my own words those who dislike), but I'm a firm believer in you pay for your lack of maintaining also. And, style of riding figures in there quiet a bit too.



So, after I buy the machine I'll be able to contribute in more detail, thoughts on tweaks, maintenance, where I source parts, and so on.




Tejasmud....out...always with my helmet on.
