shazsdad Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 All Fantic's that start with a 2 eg 200, 200 professional, 201, 203 and 205 have 156cc engines. Which I believe is the best size that they made, IMHO. The first 200's had a minerelli engine and from the 200 professional they are fitted with Fantic's own engine. Fantic's own engine kicks starts forward. The 201 is a good bike the back suspension is a bit wooden in its action compared with today's bikes or even a good twinshock fantic fitted Rockshocks or other quality shocks. Allow to put a new piston ring in it as the 156 really needs to have a new ring every 6 months or so, otherwise the performance suffers. overall a good bike to have to have some fun with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
