My son bought a KPM in '22 when he was 15. He rides it everywhere and beats the hell out of it. It's built like a tank and parts are cheap. I bought him a set of crash bars for it when he first got it, they're all scraped up. With the number of things he's hit, im surprised everything is still straight. He's broken a bunch of plastic, but getting replacement parts has been easy and cheap. If you can live with the top speed, i highly recommend this bike. It's good up to 60-65. He's taken it onto the highway, but that's a bit beyond its capabilities.
I think it was a 2001 Fatboy I bought new that year. It had all the gauges on gas tank also. It was a 2001-2004 not sure of the exact year as it was a while back. I put 12,000 miles on it in one year and rode it to trailer week in Daytona "LOL" from north Georgia and back and no issues having to look at tank for gauges but you do have to glance down very quick using peripheral vision so not to take eyes off road for too long.
I have that aftermarket speedo on my KPM 200, I can give you the settings to get it reading correctly. Took me a while and a GPS to get it dialed in just right.
This bike is SO MUCH more versatile, comfortable, and practical that mini-motos like the Honda Grom, Monkey (or Spade) with 12-inch tires. A 200cc engine versus only 125cc, more than double the riding range, plus highway capability. ALL for HALF the price! Perfect for MotorBikePacking - that is, lightweight touring that borrows from bikepacking.
@@MidgetMoto ok thank you 🙏. I’ve asked around the general consensus seemed to be as long as I don’t want to hold 60 going up steep hills it should be fine. I want it as a first bike. Hoping I can find someone that can tell me. Thanks again!.
2:30 Chinese bike company can't survive in Indian market, because of bad reputation+ this bike is very under power for a 200cc , even the cheapest 200 cc in India has 19.5 bhp and this only have 17 BHP and we have many better options than this
royal enfield is indian now, correct? I'd say around 17 horsepower is pretty decent for a 200CC, considering the fact that royal enfield makes a 350CC barely pushing 20hp. Not to mention the anemic 650 parallel twin just barely pushing past 40 hosrepower.I've also heard that royal enfield frames are cracking and even breaking. Guess indian bike companies can't survive indian markets either....

Jeez I’m more concerned about his riding abilities than the bike!
Where have you found replacement parts?

Definitely not my favorite!
That's a pretty neat looking bike!
It was an interesting ride! I prefer my Spade though.

I do not own this bike, I only test rode it this one time to see what it would be like.
Where'd you get it
First! love your content and love my KPM!
Thanks! Any suggestions would be helpful as well.
Great video, no bikes from China for me, none.
@@LoneRiderSolothe CFMoto line is looking pretty solid though!

After riding all of the mini motos I’d definitely buy the Spade over all of them. This didn’t have enough low end power
Are you in The Woodlands, TX? Looks VERY familiar!
This ride did take place in the woodlands!
@@MidgetMoto I grew up there. Haven't been back in over a decade. I thought I recognized it!
Agora essa moto meu amigos, linda
It was a fun ride!

How tall are you? I’m 6’1 wondering if I’m too big for it
6’ 4”. You should be fine
I am 6"1" 190lbs - I have the same bike and I fit very comfortably. I love riding it. such a fun rig
How does it do going up steep hills? I live in the country and I want to cruise back roads with it, but there is a lot of steep hills
Unfortunately I don’t own it and I live near Houston where it’s basically flat everywhere.

I see that speedo you got there ;-)
Thanks!
Where did you purchase it from?
I did not buy it. I borrowed it from another person who bought it on Facebook marketplace. There are several for sale last time I checked.
Lifan is owned by Volvo
Good to know!
