I was looking at the yellow bike. Is that a Honda 96cc engine? No plate. Same bolt pattern..?

The TAV is nice. its smooth, gives a "low gear" and a "high gear" but.....
its expensive and it requires mods to work on a DB with the 6.5 engine

the engine is a Honda GC190 6hp engine. same bolt pattern as a HF 6.5 but I drilled and bolted this one down. I'm using a chain tensioner/roller

Thanks for the + comments everyone :thumbsup:

Anyways, that is a BEAUTIFUL bike cjtmini. One question, how come you didnt put the front brakes on the right side to line up with with the back brakes??

HF Lifan China 6.5hp engine
$100-$130 (Harbor Freight)
revs high 5000rpm+
40 lbs
runs perfect 1 pull
made in China
lots of hop-up parts
6.5 HP (rated)
looks funny with the cylinder leaning back
ball bearings on the crank
iron cylinder liner

vs.

Honda GC190 engine
$211 (smallenginewarehouse.com)
186 cc's
dosen't like to rev over 4000-4200 rpm's
33 lbs
runs perfect 1 pull
probably made in China
no hop up-parts available (make your own)
feels a bit weak for 6 HP (rated)
looks cool..like a proper engine. carb in the back
exhaust out the front. cylinder straight up
no bearings on the crank
aluminum liner

The Honda GC engine is a great engine it runs perfect, smooth and quiet. The HF Lifan engine is a better engine in every way but I wanted to do a build with a different style engine. The engine works perfect in a mini just not for performance.
