No I haven't I don't want to sacrifice the easy kick starting and auto clutch so I never looked into the 140's much. But they've gone the way of the 125 too huh?

If anyone is still wanting to get a lifan motor I'd check on ebay for the 125 WITH the 'dress up kit because it can be had for the now low price of $319 plus $45 shipping (give or take a few bucks) and comes with everything except the electrics and muffler.

Honestly for the price they're asking for a run of the mill auto clutch 125 on ebay you could almost just say screw it and spend 200 extra and get a 181cc lifan auto clutch (125 bored AND stroked) from TBolt USA or get a Dayton (though to my understanding they're awfully high strung SOB's and I have NO idea on their reliability).
