The Lifan LF250GY-2 - Cossack 250 - Scrambler Bike

The Lifan Cossack is powered by a 249.7cc, air-cooled - there's also an oil-cooler to keep engine temperature in check - single-cylinder, four-stroke, engine – the Lifan engine is a low-revving, with a relative big bore of 73mm and 59.5mm stroke which gives the Lifan LF250GY-2 a 60’s effect what redefines a scrambler off-road machine. The engine doesn't vibrate as much as you would expect, the 250 vibrates at some rpm near idle – but not a bone shaker - the 73mm diameter piston produces a deep exhaust note – not much people would tell that it's a 250cc.
Lifan has created a whole new gearbox for the LF250GY-2, the 6-speed constant-mesh gearbox with a manual multiple plate wet clutch. Lifan is easily started by the electric starter, just turn the ignition key and hit the starter.

A monoshock rear shock has all the adjustability you could want, with a regular forks as front suspension. The spoked wheels and tires are of excellent quality.
