I know guys that take stock hondas and dont have anything left stock but the cases so whats the difference in what kind of bike u start with? I have a Lifan i got for Cheap and i promise i have a much better time on it than the guys that have attempted to build hondas and kawis and cant get them set up right. It all comes down to the maintenence and rider. Take care of the bike and do the up keep on it.
