I'd say the GPX. Eventhough I have never ridden a bike with a GPX I've only ever heard good things about them.

GPX USA is about a hundred times better, they're used in Thumpstar and Pitster Pro, absolute mad engine. Im buying one to replace my lifan 140.

No question about it... The Lifan 140cc. Both pretty much have the same strength gearbox and the Lifan has the big valve head. Comparing GPX/jailing to Lifan I would say they are both equal as far as quality and reliability goes. They are both made in China.

GPX Jialing is 100 x better than Lifan ????????? Well Pitster had better do something about the top engine mounts on their "supreme" GPX motors - because they can crack even in a cradle frame !

Stick to your Lifan 140 or fork out for one of the XY150 engines which have strengthened engine mount lugs :

Maybe... I have heard of the gearbox's going on them. I still think they're still better after riding one and seeing them.
