Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
NJ has some weird rules concerning vehicles. As where I got the NHTSA information is that i called them to check whenI had issues registering the bike and was informed by an agent that their registration is up. Thats when i contacted Scooter Depot and the next part of that mess had commenced.
Barnone as per your posts and riding the bike it needed to be tweaked, new sprocket and jets are tweaks.
I dont know why you distaste CCW so much Vince, not once in this thread did I say that the DF was a horrible machine. All rigid frames look a like at the tail but its the rake that makes them different. Some guys in the MC community compare it also to a Triumph. I ride a Heist and you ride a DF, we both ride. that should be enough.
I respect you and your knowledge and am happy that your bike worked out. But even you had doubts in the beginning and had encouraged us to stay away till you got it straightened out. I remind anyone that before their purchase just check first with the DMV to be sure and if its cool have fun and go for it.
Its all about the ride, be cool, ride safe, and enjoy it.

Funny that, looks like this guy may have been checking out the thread

We shouldn't have an issue regging the bike in NY, but like gordo said NJ is weird and there are about 4-5 states that require the manufacture to be registers with the state or they will refuse you a title, and the Dong Fang hasn't renewed their license in NJ. The actual Co. is Ningbo something something something Ill look it up later on my MSO and give you the exact name of the manufacture. I would suggest you call the Tech Department of DMV and give them a VIN # (Gordo has one he can post) and see if the bike can be regged in your state.

Gardo,
I don't have anything against CCW and hope they stay in business.
Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
The ebay seller lists the colors as:
Colors: Black, Blue, Dark grey, Silver.
I guess dark gray is the flat black or satan black listed on other sites.
Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
The 200cc kikkers are also up there. They are not claiming they are legal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other...item3cb7df7bbf

The frame is too short for the engine and had to be shoe horned in the frame.
