Best bike in this segment - Loncin GP user Najmul Hasan Saimon

Assalamu Alaikum. Hello all viewers, my name is Mohammad Najmul Hasan Saimon. Today I am here to share my 10,500 kilometer riding experience of well discussed “LONCIN GP 150cc” and I hope you all are going to stay with me.

Bike riding and purchasing experience
It is something like a thrill to me to ride a bike. From the very early of my childhood, I was very much eager to ride a bike and always dream to have my own bike. Each day passed and my dreams size started grow long. My family was not agreeing with my words as I am the only child of my family.

But I always pray to Allah that he make a way to make my dream complete and praise goes to almighty that my maternal uncle purchased a bike of Honda Company when I am to see that one, very surprisingly he handed over me.

Before this bike I gained my experience with a bike of my friend’s father, by using that experience I ridden my bike first time from Savar to Uttara even with a pillion. This ride lessens the fear from my family as they were very much tensed with my bike riding. As my family becomes positive about my riding and by the mercy of Allah, I make my mother agree to purchase a bike for my personal use. I purchase my bike by combined money of my mothers and my own. Al-hamdulillah, now I am a proud owner of “LONCIN GP 150cc”. It is really an exceptional feeling to have a bike by personal money.



Why LONCIN GP?
There are hardly any biker who don’t have weakness on the sports bike and from this point of view, Yamaha R15 and Honda CBR (Repsol) was top of my choice list. But I was not able to pay for a bike of Premium segment and for this reason, I set my target to have Suzuki Gixxer SF. In the same time, my attention caught by Lifan KPR and started to compare Gixxer and KPR. I found KPR as the best option for me by considering both of its Look, Style, Pick up and the price. Next I used to read articles about KPR from the different links and by the same task I found a compare with LONCIN vs KPR. Just believe me that I fall in love of LONCIN GP by the first look. Next I show the pictures of Gixxer, KPR and LONCIN to my mother. My mother makes me amazed by choosing LONCIN and just then I made my decision to purchase LONCIN GP. Just to be clear about the fact about the quality of LONCIN and KPR, I posted the compare of these two bikes in different groups. 95 people out 100 suggest me to purchase KPR but my heart was rounding at LONCIN GP. An elder brother helps me to join the group of “LONCIN GP BANGLADESH” and surprisingly I noticed that there are no major problem excepting the mileage. it is really positive to such a bike and I made my final decision to have this one.



Design
I don’t think that I have to mention something separately about the design of LONCIN GP. Among the sports look category bikes of Bangladesh, LONCIN has the premium look category. Seating position, 3 part handlebar, separate pillion seat (not like rider in the ground and pillion on sky), digital speedometer, Analog RPM box, 6 gear, side indicator with parking light. whole thing in a word, it has a clear look.

Specification
E-start only, Vacuum carburetor, Alloy wheel, Tubeless tyre, Fr. & Rr. disk brake, LED Taillight, LED turn light, Digital meter, Upside down Fr. shock absorber, Centre placed absorber, Alloy main and passenger footrest, Alloy rear armrest, Anti-slip seat with good elasticity, Alloy body muffler, Half chain case.
Engine and transmission:
Engine type:Single cylinder, 4-stroke, Oil-cooled
Maximum power:17.7 hp (13.2 kw) / 8500 rpm
Maximum torque:17.2 N.m / 6000 rpm

Engine power
To have its perfect performance one must ride this bike in the highway. This will pick up the speed of 110 – 115 kilometer per hour which is something like giant. But it is slow just after. Its gear shifting is hard. 1st and 2nd number gear is rough. It is difficult to ride for a long time. 3rd gear is comparably smooth and others are good enough. When on the 1st to 3rd gear, any rider will think about to change the gear. 6th gear is just amazing. I have found its top speed 141 – 143 kilometer per hour and on the highway with the pillion 128 – 130 kilometer per hour.
If the Valve adjustment is ok then you are not going to feel any vibration.

Control, Breaking and Comfort
This is worth of 95 out of 100 which mean GPA 5. Suspensions, Duel disk, seating position….. all are just good enough that I have nothing new to say about.




Mileage
This is the most asked question and I was prepared for this fact that “Tiger need more food than others”. From this point of view, I never become serious about the mileage. I have checked the mileage a few time and found 30+. I think anyone will have 30+ in the highway if the bike is in proper condition.

Engine oils official recommend is 20w50. I am having good performance by using MOTUL.

I have change
In this 10,500 kilometer, I just change the front break pad 2 times and rear break pad once, nothing else.
But I have a wish to change the chain sprocket why because I use Engine break. Although, it is not emergency.

Some words about the Parts
Many people believe that a Chinese bike means no parts in the market. but when you are thinking about this bike then you should not think like that way. If you make an order in the showroom then you are going to have your desired parts in just 2 – 3 days. Same time, some spare parts are available in the showroom. Meanwhile, authorized dealer of H. Power serve the parts inside and outside of Dhaka.

Advantages
-Extra ordinary breaking
-Excellent look
-Comfortable suspension
-Comfortable seating position. No pain in the waist (Rider + Pillion)
-Pick up is just outstanding
-Nice and clean sound and exhaust
-Unbelievable price

Disadvantage
-Clutch and Gear is not soft
-Chain lost its tightness very quickly (low quality)
-Headlamp is not so sharp
-Build quality is worth to have 85 out of 100
-Not so smooth as it should be as a 150cc bike
-Irritation in the hands while in jam

At the last
This one is the best sport category bike in the price range of 1. 8 lakhs. If this one has the proper service then it is not going to make you depress any way. But you are going to face some trouble for the service center and service team. I hope the H. Power management will took the proper steps among those and solve very soon.

Few tips
Use the engine oil of good quality 20w50 grade of 1200ML.
Clean the chain regularly, check the tightness and lube it sincerely (you will have the solve by using ring chain sprocket)
Don’t match the taped as like shaking hands in the servicing center.

Size of taped – In take- 0.4-0.6
Exhaust- 0.4-0.6
