From a minute's glance, the trade off is 15cc for a reverse gear. Both engines will be tougher to mount in a kart as they are rip offs of older Honda motors and have mount holes on top. I feel that it really comes down to preference over a bit of displacement or reverse.

If you feel you are not going to miss reverse, definitely get the second option. You get an extra 15cc, a carburetor, and a 4 speed, all for 15 pounds less. (check the shipping though).

I use to run a Loncin 110 in a quad. they good little engines, however the semi auto clutch wears out fast, the bore is an odd size and hard to come across (in australia) and the electric start lets just say "its not very good". The lifan is the better buy by far. especially for the extra power that it will put out.
