I fully understand as I have witnessed first hand what a major let down buying this motorcycle is. And to anyone who has bought a new one, 300 dollars for a used one is too much. Let the new guy decide, or, the guy who knows he can get 20000 miles out of one decide. I have ridden this bike and its more like a 'motorcycle' than it was. But that's only me. I jump on my shadow phantom for pleasure,
2010 df250rtb for sale. OFFERS taken with much consideration.

orig handlebars, glossy tank
Hey how 'bout that. A brand new df250rtb for 2100bucks (2300 ship, tax amount unclear). So the price is climbing past 2099 fast. But that's OK, its brand new. I am going to consider myself an owner (which I am) with a fair knowledge gained of the df from a crazy long thread, a mountain of notes, and personal one on one conversations about it over the phone. Plus I ride it around and make adjustments as needed, so I am familiar with it up close too.
Now, about the new one I was directed towards for $2099...(bigboytoys)
The year is not quite clear, or is it. I can sometimes read something 5 times before I see it all. So is the year printed in the ad? Looks to me to be pre 2010 by all the chrome stuff (vs blacked out).
Other indicators, to me, would be the welded in the middle handlebars(hid in the photo by the speedo), 45tooth sprocket, that tank is going to leak(3.8 gal?), pro st softail frame?, 75mph(same bull ad, with add on), and if that awful chrome is the stuff that rusts in no time(in here somewhere, by a couple of guys)I think that problem(model) was also attached with leaky tires.
So that is my observation and opinion. I am not trying to start a worth and value debate. After all, I got mine the easy way, all fixed up and handed to me. If any new riders think they want to buy the one in the bigboytoys ad, I will gladly sell this one for the same price just to be a brother rider, and save somebody a lot of headaches with mods and updates, because no one deserves to get stuck with that motorcycle, not even new, for 2099(2999 ship)or, in the round off world,(2100,2300ship). Now that there is a bike that should go for $1000, really, price,ship,tax,fully assem, delivered to the inside of your garage, complete total, $1000...

The more I sit around looking at my df, the more I can imagine the rear wheel and tire tore off and put on my phantom for a front tire.
The bolt and disc and hub width measurements seem to be right. That would be a 120/90-17 (phntm frnt) to a 140/70-18 (df rear) tire size. I can see it. And it looks cool.

2000$ for cyber Monday. Proper specs listed
just picked up a DF250RTG for my wife at rock bottom pricing.
Im hoping its small enough for a 100lb gal to handle.
Thing is I was just goofing around placed one in my cart, filled out the shipping info, then forgot about it.
Not too long after someone texted me asking if i had any questions...
After brief negotiations I reached my hand down between the couch cushions and placed the order.
I know as well as most the marginal quality of these things, but didnt count on the fact i could get myself one for under $1500 all in.
now to get her to ride it...
Update:
Just got a call from Belmont bikes, said that the stated shipping company won't be shipping the item after all so could only get it dropped off 250 miles away.
They then proceeded to asked more money for shipping... I decided to cancel, will be moving to TX in the spring, along with 3 cars and 3 other bikes Id rather not carry another bike with me anyway.
I'm out
axa.
I have the DF250RTG from Belmont and all is well with it so far.
