When I say noob, I mean it! I have never even owned a motorcycle...and still don't. BUT, I will be heading out tomorrow evening to purchase an '08 LF200GY from an individual about 80 miles away. He has it plated and registered and the bike has only 300k on the clock, that's what, 186 miles!? He’s asking $1450, but I’ll wave some cash around and can probably take it for 1300 even. Best part of it is he purchased new at a registered American Lifan Dealer. That will make me sleep better even if he won’t budge on the price. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and thank the community for providing some great information (I’ve been poaching for some time). I look forward to contributing some info, or at least some pics in the near future!
