I bet not too many people know that Lifan (The Boat??) makes Honda's engines!
They're also rated #1 of China's top 900 scooter factories.
I might buy one for wifey...
That's a real nice color scheme glennby!

Hmm, that's funny, I really don't like the black front or the stupid looking graphics, but then again, I won't be riding it!
I think your has a much cleaner styling...

Yeah, new, and with shipping the total is $655.00.
I'm glad I got it for this price since I'm donating it... wait, may that's why I got it so cheap!
The seller tried to back out of the deal saying it was below her cost, but I know better, since I broker containers in one of my businesses. I offered her a receipt for the difference between what I paid and the MSRP from the hospital for a tax deduction... she reluctantly agreed.

Thanks Glennby,
Wait till you see the new improved version! I have a graphics guy making Spiderman full cover graphics for it, a new windshield which I already have and a 3 million color LED package to light up the street!
My wife keeps saying, "At your age?"... I say, Why the hell not!
EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot! A Mercedes trunk too!

Almost forgot!
The seat is out to recovered in alligator!
I have no idea why I felt compelled to do this... now my son told me last night that he would probably be "borrowing" it after it's done. Yeah right, just like he "borrows" my Craftsman tools...
He borrowed a truck from me in 2004 and I never saw it again! Then my other son said I should pay for his car since I "gave" the truck away to his older brother...
Don't you just love the way kids rationalize "borrowing" money?

Nice bike.
But all the LIFAN engines, that I have seen, in the GY6 150cc size appear to the the Yamaha clone engine which isn't quite the same as a Honda engine. They have a rectangular cylinder head stud pattern versus the square stud pattern on the Honda GY6 engines. So many parts are not interchangeable. But it isn't to say they don't clone a Honda Gy6 engine either.

Yeah I noticed that too.
Does your engine have a two bolt valve cover or a four bolt valve cover on it?
Two bolt is the Yamaha design engine and four bolt is the Honda designed engine.
there isn't anything wrong with the Yamaha engine except you can't use the common big bore kits and stuff out there on the market. External things like exhaust and carbs, CDI, ignition, air filters work though.

Mine has the 4 bolt valve cover on it. The Yamaha engine and the Honda engines are interchangeble as complete engine changes, but the internals are different.

Well the graphics came in today and I am very disappointed! Apparently, they are made to fit a 50cc scooter, with limited body panels.I have to say, I was very clear about the size of my scooter and even sent them several pictures, but still, I received graphics for a much smaller Piaggio scooter. This is the scooter the graphics will trim to fit: If anyone wants them, I'll give them to you for $100 - delivered (paid $120).
