Has anyone seen or used an engine like this? In fact I hope not, because I think water cooling + radiator doesn't belong to a small Honda.

But it interesting to see what the Chinese have done.

I saw one of those on Ebay a while back. I would think that water cooling would be nice on a modified engine. Since many people put oil coolers on their bikes using radiators I don't think it would be that different of an idea.. I would like to have one just to play with..

Hey Dan,Water cooling as you know keeps a more consistant engine temp for more consistant hsp.Good for mx,enduro racing.It will be wild to see that on a CT.It's out of my league though..My chinese dex shocks are still holding up.

That is really a neat idea! I wonder if all of the other parts (electrics etc) are the same as the air cooled? If so, it should drop right into a clone CT or even better, put it into a ZB50! The water cooling probably also makes the engine just a tad bit quieter, though these are not loud motors if the exhaust is working anyway.

Wonder what the cost/availabilty is? Anyone know of a source other than Lifan?

Great stuff, I am sure that the water cooled will soon be coming our way. But if you look they also have a nice DAX alu swing arm. I am looking into this . Seems to be of very nice quality....I will keep posted if I aquire one.

It's almost too cheap...
