Lifan KPR 150R user review by Mamun Aktar

Twelve years ago I learned how to ride a bike using Honda CD80. After learning bike riding my attraction over bikes started to raise more and more and because of that I have used Hero Honda Hunk for one and a half years, Honda unicorn for one years, Yamaha FAZER for two years and now I am using now I am using one of the most admired bike among the youth named Lifan KPR 150. Most of the people say this bike can also be considered as the Honda CBR of Poor guy which means it offers premium bike feelings within very reasonable price. I have bought Lifan KPR 150 five months ago from Nahar Machineries, Rajshahi and I bought this bike by my own decision, no one suggested me. I have searched a lot at the internet and after being satisfied I bought this bike. I thought let’s try a Chinese bike and choose this bike. As I am using this bike for the last five months so I think I should say some good and bad things about this bike in front of all the bike lovers and interested peoples. Today I will share few words about my bike because team motorcycle valley invited me and offered me this opportunity.



If I have to start with the design of Lifan KPR 150 then I will place this bike after Yamaha R15 and Yamaha R15 V2. From this side I really liked this bike, not only liked this bike I love it. Overall body kits of this bike give this bike a sporty look. Not only that the body kits are very strong and durable a swell, I think they will not broke down that easily. So based on the design and build quality this bike is excellent.

I am satisfied with the engine performance of this bike. Till now I never found any bad sound or over heating from the engine of my bike. To be honest at the begging the engine used to get over heated and I was really worried because of that. But after I heard it is a common problem of a new bike I was happy. Recently I find out another problem and that was the engine shut down automatically while running and I was really disappointed with that.

Now let’s talk about the comfort of this bike. Seating position for the rider and pillion both are really comfortable of this bike. Seat height is also perfect and I never found any problem to touch my both feet on the ground. I never felt that much of pain in my hand during high speed riding with this bike. But one thing I have to say as a bad side and that is after riding this bike for a long time I feel back pain. Switches placed at the handle bar for the electrical are easy to use and also standard in quality, and talking about the headlamp power which is required badly in night riding is excellent. A I said long time riding with this bike is really uncomfortable and I have figured it out after riding 270 kilometers in one day with my bike.

Now let us talk about some difficulties which I face with this bike. tyre gripping of this motorcycle is not up to the mark and they skids very often. Talking about the braking of this bike is also not well managed, they are really harder and I never found average braking experience from them, because of the braking sometimes the wheel gets locked which is a bad thing I guess. After riding this bike at the rough conditions of the road I realized that the front suspension is perfect but the rear one disappointed me. It is not smooth enough to ride with satisfaction and comfort and it need to be improved at its performance. Though because of the body weight I can control this bike at high speed but I personally think the brakes, tyres and suspensions all three needed to be improved at their performance as early as possible. So overall I will say this bike offers average controlling and good comfort at the city roads or smooth kind of roads.

When I purchased this bike the company claimed that this bike will provide at least 42-45 KM/L mileage. I am getting 40 KM/L mileage at the city roads and 43-44 KM/L mileage at the highways. So I have no complaints with the mileage because to run this kind beast fuel is required and it is giving me a good mileage though.

I am satisfied with the quality of servicing center. I have heard that people are not getting quality service from the Rajshahi service center which is my territory also, but I am getting excellent service from them no doubt till now. They send a service man to fix my very own bike from their head office Dhaka, what more cordiality I need from them. So I want to thank Russel industries but I think they must create a better servicing center in Rajshahi as early as possible.
I personally think the price of this bike is perfect based on the performance, looks, and features. I also want to add that it is really hard to get this b=kind of bike I this type of reasonable price.

Few bad sides I have noticed:
- Bad rear suspension.
- Small display of the Speedo meter.
- Low quality looking glasses.
- Hard gear shift


I will recommend to the company for one thing to be improved and that is the gear leaver, at least when the bike is new condition the gear shifting needs to be smoother.
Thanks to all.
