2009 Lifan LF200 GS Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Lifan for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 Lifan LF200 GS Sport relies on a 197 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.8 HP (12.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 85.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the LF200 GS Sport measures 129 kg (284 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.68 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 565 km (351 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
