thanks, i read that thread and saw a few ppl with the PPC have issues with the rear swingarm bushings/bearings. Now my only issue with the ppc is that it has a offroad vin so i cant get tags for it......boo i know cause it looks good.

street hooligan,
Are you talking about the PPC125? I got a title/tag for mine.

No problem with the rear swing arm bushings for me but I only have 800kms.

street hooligan · 10-11-2009, 01:26 PM

yeah the ppc125, pitster has informed me that there off road vins, and in my state, if it has an offroad vin, no tags

All the Lifans are 49 State legal.

I am not sure why pitster would make that decision to tag their bikes with off road use only vins?? Thats not a very good idea!.

Heres some ct70 clone vendors

As always, what is the quality of these Chinese clones. There needs to be a term coined for Chinese clones since there are so many of them! Chones maybe?

dsrt4 · 10-12-2009, 04:30 AM

That is not the case anymore. I think the Lifan and pitsters bike are the only replicas you can choose from new now. The Jinching and the Jinchaxi have been gone for a few years. And Skyteam isnt bringing over the Dax bike anymore either.

Hooper, Trail.buddy and 5 flags bikes are all Lifan. And they are pretty good quality.
I have 4K on my 2008 Lifan lf110gy-3 that I use for street duty. Other than some very minor issues (carb adjustments ect) I have never had a major issue with it. And parts be it Honda or Lifan are easy to find.

I sure didn't know that when I bought my PPC125. The MSO stated that the PPC125 met all the standards for USA on road use.
I mailed the paperwork to FL since I am in NC for the summer and got my title and tag in a week or so.
street hooligan,
Please get your facts straight.
