At the heart of the 2013 Lifan LF 400 V-twin custom - cruiser motorcycle, Lifan utilizes a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 88.0 x 55.0 mm (3.5 x 2.2 inches) with a 9.7:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the LF 400 V-twin measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
