Hello All,
I just found this forum (one of very few) and decided to hop on board. My wife and I are retired, the kids are gone so we decided it was time to put a little adventure between our legs as they say.
We started out with 150cc Chinese scooters, with good results, but it wasn't long before I needed just a bit more power. As I looked at 250cc scooters I stumbled accross a Lifan LF250 Cruiser. I thought the pics looked cool so I called American Lifan in Dallas and talked to Shawn about any local dealers that may have one to look at. Sure enough he comes up with a dealer about 10 miles away from us and he had a black and silver in stock. Well not any more!! After a brief ride and a little negotiation, I ended up driving it home. As it turned out I actually payed less than I would have from an internet dealer even after including tax.
I now have about 159 miles on it and I love it. For the money, it will be very hard to beat these things. I think the fit & finish are as good as any and it runs like a top. I do wish it sounded a little meatyer though so if anyone has ideas on where to get performance parts etc. please let me know. It is starting to stay in the 50s now so I think the season is about over. I tried to take a pic of it to post but my batteries are dead. I'll get some tomorrow and post one.
