American Lifan reviews

I currently own three AIH ~ LSCs , also one Big Dog, and one 93 Harley Evo. Two 04 and one 06. All three AIH motorcycles have been pure pleasure to own. Not without issues. All three were changed out with after market ignitions, one problem solved. Also AIH are delivered with Korean 6 speed transmissions. Out of the three, I had to replace one. One other common problem is the speedometer/tachometer they are a POS, either replace or do without. I love the fact they not only look great, but also have plenty of kick you in the ass POWER...

The good about the bike is that it looks and rides great! The bad is that the bike always has something breaking. There is always something that needs to be fixed. If you buy this bike it’ll make you feel like a bad ass riding it, and it will be fun to ride, but unfortunately, it will spend a lot of time at the mechanic. If you want a chopper without headaches. Buy a Honda Fury. However, if you are mechanically inclined. The Ironhorse might be the bike for you. If you luck out and get one somewhat reliable. It is a blast to ride. Show less

Just picked up a 2006 Lifan 200 g y - 5 and I am trying to buy or find some replacement parts for it and having a real hard time. If anyone can refer me to a website or even compatible Japanese parts ie. 18 inch rear wheel with drum brake 21 inch front wheel with disc brakes brake pads and Plastics I would really appreciate it my bike runs and sounds great however cannot write it due to rear Wheel Show less

Hey everyone, just bought my first real bike, sorry to the sport bike riders out there but I went from a 750 Katana to an 03 Tejas and the Tejas had so much power it scared me lol. Anyway only issues I’m having are a hurt butt from the rigid ride on the highway and today I noticed it made a funny ticking sound And wouldn’t turn over them out of the blue it turned over and started. I don’t put it on the trickle everyday, should I? Show less

This moped is good looking and mine goes up to 35 mph. sometimes faster down hill. Some parts are hard to find but there are companies with them. That guy who said his goes 22 mph. has something wrong with his. I recommend this moped to anyone, it is super fun and quick for a 50cc. Plus, the engine is a solid 2 stroke engine. Show less

I brought the bike as a run around. I have been happy with the performance of the bike. It's well worth the money I paid for it. Show less

They do have a defective spedometer and the alum pulleys aren't good after a lot of miles. It's great once you learn to ride it. I put about 25,000 miles on it and you will love it. Show less

You will love this bike or hate it. This bike will give you problems, but fix the problem or move on. This bike is for men who want a powerful, beautiful bike and are willing to take on a challenge. If that's not you, go buy a bike with all great reviews. Show less

Well, for a six-foot-three guy like myself, I would have to say I am impressed with the way the bike fits although I could have used a little bigger chassis. With that said, the rest of the bike has been nothing short of impressive and well worth the $1,800 I paid for it. The frame, engine and general mechanics have held up for the first year of abuse I have put it through. I must admit that I actually feel guilty for paying so little for such a fine machine. I am considering buying a second one for my 18-year-old son to use for back and forth travel to and from high school. Show less

The fit & finish on the bike is great. Make sure you change the tranny fluid from the factory. My bike wouldn't shift right until I filled it with Amsoil 85-140 mixed 50% with Lucas. I have no problems other than leaning on turns. Forget about any snaked curves. I have the 200mm tire which outperforms the 240 or 280, also I don't like the fat tire look; it is out of style anyway. Yeah my battery was were bad but they all are. Ironhorse's engineering and reliability are fairly good - as good as Harley. I have three of those that just sit in my garage on a battery trickle charger. Everyone says the bike looks really good. I would rather have the Classic Chopper than the Texas Chopper because of the 200mm tire. (They use Metzler which are great tires.) The S&S 100 motor is easy to start in the cold but doesn't have near the pull of an S&S 111. When I hear about other Chopper owners' problems, I feel very fortunate as mine were very minimal.
