50,000 km of testing went into Lifan KP150 & Lifan KPR150! It was expected to know that how good or bad Lifan KP150 V2 will perform on the road.

lifan-kp150v2-mileage From the outside it is exactly carbon copy of Lifan KP 150 , except for two things: the engine which now is a powerful liquid cooled engine unit which gives away 14.8 BHP & 14 NM of Torque. The bike now has a 6 speed gear box to deal with, but unlike many bike the gear ratio is on the taller side. Engine of the bike is same as that of Lifan KPR 150, only this time there are no body kit to hang around.

Now this engine is not surrounded by any kit so there is little chance of that heat to get stuck in the engine causing uncomfortable issue for the riders. During our 3000 km testing we have found that the bike circulates air through the engine & we had no issues of the radiator fan continuously circulating to keep the engine cool.

Two blue parking light attached under the chin of the bike which gives an alien look at twilight. The headlight is DC and much powerful; the tail light is LED where the clear lens indicators are much attractive. Indicators are spongy so it will bend in a collision rather than break it instantly. Tail light is conventional Lifan KP 150 style.

The speedometer console have speedometer, RPM counter, trip meter, fuel meter, clock, engine coolant warning and gear number indicator. So you can find the panel full of features and off-course different from other bikes in the market as you can keep the speedometer in kilometer or in miles.

The switches & controls on the both handlebar are not the best of quality. The seating posture is upright but saddle is little a bit higher, though the rider seat is comfortable but the pillion seat isn’t by that much.

Unlike KP150, the version two does give a macho attitude to the bike, handling and the braking of the bike is good in its class, I find the necessity of a wider rear tires, 110 rear section tires are too little for the high torque engine but from the RIL they stated that if required anyone can fit with one size more wider rear tire.

Both the brakes are disc and the tires are tubeless, we have tested the bike in high speed corning & we can say that we are happy with the performance of it. When you are on extreme corner the precised braking, controlling & the suspension really makes a total harmony.

Front suspension of the bike is good but we didn’t like the rear suspension as it is not that much playful, horn of the bike is still a single unit and with no kick starter as option in the winter it will create some issues if you live too North of the country.

While riding on the open roads we found the bike to be well balanced, the corning ability of the bike is quiet good, but I believe with a wider rear tire the bike might be better in controlling and handling. Unlike Lifan KP 150 or Lifan PR150, KP150V2 is more like to have a bad boy’s image.

0-100 km/h it is one of the fastest machine but due to a hard gear changes which we faced during our test the reaction time of the rider increases hence he takes a little bit more time. According to Rasel Industries Service team the gear change will get softer once the bike passes 2000-2500 km.

During out test we found a top speed of 128 km/h & mileage of 38 km/l in city (riding normally), on the highway the mileage of the bike topped to 45 km/l. Performance of the bike is good on the highway, for long distance ride there weren’t too much problem regarding pain or stress on the body.
