How did the Lifan work out?

Hienz's Lifan is a cockroach, not one problem on the trip through Laos, he said the suspension was nasty though, making his hands tingle and then go numb.

There is definitely a lot of vibration through the bars. I have the same problem. I am sure it is reducing the life of my Garmin Montana as well.
