You will have to make up your own mind.
Does your dealer have a web site?
Thank You for your reply...I like the look of the DF better and the price. I like the CCW's options such as the airbag seat shock. For about 800 less I think I can live without the parts options. I had originally only intended to ride my Scoot but the videos of both the CCW and DF Bobbers runnin down the road plus the great price have given me the urge to "Shift" again.

well i'd say if the extra $800 isn't a big deal, go ahead and test drive both and see which one suits you best. personally i like the stripped down look of DF, the heist has a little more polished look but with a few upgrades the DF can look can as nice. if you just want a nice little bike to scoot around town on i think you'll be pretty satisfied either way you decide to go.
Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
can someone recap this whole posting to give me the mods done to improve performance for the bobber? I have the 250rtc and plan on doing a few mods:
34t rear sproclet, ngk sparkplug, racing sparkplug harness from autozone, adding more ground wires so the bike cranks up easier
Did I miss anything? And when I say performance don't think I am treating this bike as a pocketbike and I redline every second or drive crazily around the streets, no, its just that I do a lot of highway /interstate driving in orlando and speed limit is 50mph with everyone going about 55-60. on this bike I have maxxed out at 75 ( I weigh 150 ) and even when riding at 50 it feels like I might be pushing the bike too hard, any info? also at 60 mph I am in fifth gear at 5000rpm, anyone have info on gear change ratios? such as speed/rpm/gear. I have talked to the owners of http://china-moto.com/cm/ and other members on their site and they are selling custom aluminum sprockets for the rtc and rtb, and they have a lot of knowledge about these bikes also. One of the moderators and owners, almonp, posted that with a rear 33t sprocket on his rtb he was able to do 75 in 4th gear, but in first has to rev up to 2500rpms to get it moving without stalling. What do you guys think?
Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
Matt,
Why don't you start a thread about the DF250RTC? We have the same engine in the DF250RTB but after that it's a different bike.
Take posted MPH on the net with a grain of salt.

I don't see any prices at that site. Is it a real dealer or just a drop shipper?
What is the price of the DF250RTB delivered? What is the price of the Heist delivered?

Only if he drove it into a mine shaft.:icon10:
I'm running a JTS 35 tooth with the stock front sprocket. Even without doing any jet work, I still think it's pretty much the ideal size. It's a bit close ratio'd in 1st & 2nd, but once in the upper gears, this little bugger really hums along. For parade speeds, or just toolin' around the pits, 1st and 2nd are spot-on.

they must be a drop shipper because if you click on it under the DF250RTB"s picture it goes directly to Sunny Sports page.
