60km and they look like that dont look like there very long lasting my Sava supermoto race tyres look better than that at 1200miles on them
This tyre is a good quality.
I read a lot on the low quality China tyres, they are very poor and not acceptable. I wldnt allow my life depend on those stock tyres.
I normally use Metzeler M3, Dunlop Alpha, Mitchelin pilot sporty and Bridgestone. Best is stick to those tyre, pay a little more for safety.
This IRC tyre is more superior than Mitchelin pilot sporty while the price around USD 150.- for both. Safety first n the power'll fllw

ahh Sava's are bulgarian made and is a subsidiary of dunlop there good grippy and stick like anything but due to there race orineted construction there rather slippy in the rain im getting a set of metzeler's as soon as these ones wear out.

The 163FML is not a copy of the XL200 engine.
The 163FML 63.5 x 61.98 mm 196.37 cc
XL200 65.5 x 57.80 mm 200.19 cc
Not all the 163FML engines are the same, the different manufactures make different version of them.
The only thing they share is the bore and it being 63mm, which is all that the 163 stands for, the 1 a single and the 63 is the bore of the engine.
Your engine is likely a Loncin engine version of the 163FML they do make a 223cc engine LC166MM that has close to the same output as the XL200 Honda…however the engine on your bike does not and likely is about 2hp less.
If you are using the bore and stroke off the Lifan 163FML your not even looking at the correct data, you need the LC163FML data from Loncin the manufacturer of the engine.
Is this your engine?

Metzeler tyres are superb.....
1 thing when I buy tyre, it must made in UK, DE, FR, JP and Thailand.
A lot of those famous brand name tyre ie Dunlop, BS, Michelin, Yokohama, maxis, Falken, Nitto, etc
made in MY, Indo, Korea, Vietnam etc the quality is not up to my satify and the price
is also almost half of those premier quality. (Ah Ah you get what you pay......)
Good luck on selecting tyre
Cheers

ahh i cant really complain they do the job well since iv only owned this bike since may and its summertime and they work well in the dry, but yh german quality to me is always best UK quality is okay in my mind but living here has told me other wise on the quality of craftsmenship here
I would say that up till the earliest version the engines were all manufactured in Japan, then after that manufactured in other regions factories, those engines sold only in certain markets under the Honda name.
Since the model that were made in Japan stopped selling in the USA when the change occurred, your right they never sold any of the later engine in the USA, the previous versions were only offered in the 1980’s and they were all versions of the engine made in Japan.
Basically yours may be the exact same as the Honda and that is because your versions of the Honda have been coming out of China for the past decade or a factory in Thailand?
I wonder were the version with a six speed is made? Thanks for the information on the TA200 and its version that has a six speed gear box. I have never seen a Chinese version of it, it may be a Thai Honda?
