I am sure quality is suspect, however, many people on here have bought lifan engines to repower old honda atc's and as far as I can remember, they are happy with them. I just bought a 50cc quad for my daughters 3rd birthday with the honda copy motor, 4 speed auto clutch, electric start for $505 shipped. I spoke with the importer and he seemed like an honest guy, told me he sells 30 units a day, and they are "pretty good, no complaints" . I am sure it wont be as good as an $1800 quad but we're only talking 500 bucks here. Believe me, when it arrives I will look it over very carefully and it will be pretty obvious where they cut costs. I will post a full report. I am hoping that a 3 year old cant beat it to death!
Oh, and my neighbor at work has one of those chinese copy Honda mini trails, even has it street legal. His has the big bore kit, cant remember if its 70 or 90cc, and i have ridden it, it runs well, and is solid as a rock. very nice for the money. That is why I decided to roll the dice on the quad.
