User Review

If you want to be outstanding then this a perfect motorcycle for you. Truly a racing bike @ 150cc. Picks up speed smoothly. The feel of throttle response. You will feel the difference when you ride it. At high speeds this motorcycles grip is not questionable. The sound of engine will move your soul. Surely you will not feel that you are riding a china made motorcycle. Head lamp is a must mention feature of this motorcycle. Perfect for any kind of situation. Goes around 40k/L and the top speed I got is 129k/H. Good looks and the speed will put you into a whole new dimension of motorcycling but as with great power comes great responsibility, In this case maintenance is crucial. By long time driving it, you may feel a bit back pain at first but after a while you will get used to it.

In short:

Pros:

1. Sporty looks.
2. Water cooling system.
3. Throttle response.

Cons:

1. Heavy maintenance.
2. Within one year the exhaust fan becomes noisy.
3. After 20,000 k.m. this motorcycle tends to stop working on high speeds, regardless of maintenance.*

* Stops working means engine stops working and you will have to press the self start button to start it again. That's a bit dangerous while on highway in speeds reaching 90 to 100 km/hour. I really hope Russel Industries find a solution for this problem soon or they might loose some serious customers of LIFAN KPR 150. 

Last words, Surely will make you stand out of the crowd.
