The Lifan engines have the same problems as other Chinese made engines, their quality control is not there, so as parts wear out you can almost replace them with Honda parts but the fit is never quite right.
Personally I would go for something like the Honda Ruckus/Honda Metropolitan because they have a water cooled 4 stroke that is an very solid stable engine, you don't get the classic look, but if you are looking for a scooter that will last forever they will fit that bill.
