    That’s an interesting web site for Lifan in Spain.
    Lifan seemed to have a good following for its 200cc bikes in the states, the GY200-5 sold well and so did the LF200III, but they never really got past the garage mechanics.
    If those two models passed through dealers they would have had much better results. If they monitored the component failures and backed them with warranty the results would be different.



    Simple bikes and very cheap.
    They have 250cc bikes and even a 400cc bike, they are not selling. The two basic models fell short they never got refined enough, so the other models never really had any chance, they were over produced and flooded the market there are thousand of them sitting in inventory.

    Consider this….if all the VINS of the bikes were in one relational database, that being no matter were they were or who held them, they could be counted and priced. They could be cleared and then supported with a parts database.
    Then modification could be made to improve them, just to make them more durable and reliable.
    They could be sold on the internet and then shipped to any dealer to prep, not Lifan dealers any dealer that had a certified mechanic. The bike needed to be checked over and often needed the fluids changed and checked, carburetion adjustments, some had loose bolts on them. Check the valve clearance, brakes and the chain. Then the correct wearing in on the bike covered and the initial follow up all should have been done and often was not.
    The distributor was not connected it was not set to track the products, just to push them into the market and that’s a shame, because those bikes could have started something that lead to something more.
    The production costs and all associated costs to get the bike in a real dealer prepped and checked with tax and registration is les then $2,000.00 for these, that could be financed at the point of purchase over the internet.
    All a dealer wants is a fee to do it, and access to parts and warranty claims. That could easily be done online with a interface. They have no clue what a relational data set is do they? A bike is a set of components and each has a part number it’s a build. It’s a set of values in a diagram that links to tables connected to a shopping cart.
    Those simple bikes would not and do not require that many parts and when one fails it then gets or would get tagged with a part rating metric. A bike that requires nothing in parts for a year is 100% reliable.
    Establishing a relationship with dealers leads to interactions that can leads to future sales. The low cost bikes can be and should be sold online, but only shipped to dealers that have full service shops and access to all they need online, easy and with no obligations.
