I wonder if the Lifan marketing department have seen those figures, does it reflect reliability or collectability? :?

They make some very cheeky copies of other peoples products. I'm particularly fond of their version of the BMW Mini.https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lifan ... wxwPHIM%3A

It's so wrong that it's right.

I wish I had known this was on, it sounds like it was worth a visit.

Loving the loaded up, well used CG!

It was a last minute decision as we were in your neck of the woods for a friends wedding reception on the Friday with an overnight stop.

Eye watering-ly expensive for a Chinkie copy CG125 bored out a shoved into a handmade Italian bike, but a thing of beauty all the same.

Must take a trip up to Haywards and blag a test ride; that usually puts me of buying anything.

Here's me slavering over something else I can't afford, but at least it would keep it's price!

At full speed and on a flat stretch of road , if I roll the throttle back approximately 1/8" on my CG125 clone, the revs rise by a couple of hundred rpm. I've tried to fathom this one out using my pea sized brain and now it hurts,so my question is: Does this mean that the main jet is too big?
