Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
I tend to take things that Saferwholesale does with a grain of salt. These might just be leftovers from Dong Fang. As far as the DF certificate goes, like I mentioned, the bobber is still listed as...

Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
I don't know what engine model they use; I have only seen the manufacturer listed as 'Chongqing Zongshen Motorcycle Engine Manufacture Co., Ltd.' I am guessing it is Dongfang's proprietary engine...

Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
The last time I looked at the EPA/DOT site (updated this month with the 2018 li, it shows a line across the spreadsheet for Dongfang, and several models of their bike listed for their 223cc engine. ...

Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
Your best bet is to try the source to see where they can point you to. If they are out of stock, and have been for a while, they can also let you know that as well. Plus, are more coming or are...

Re: what this bike should have been from the start
If I was to make a slightly educated guess, as I wrote about the whole lineup being found on one certificate, the seemingly same engines are NOT the same engines, LOL. You wrote above your theory,...

Re: what this bike should have been from the start
I have been noticing more and more snowbirds in Yuma. Didn't realize summer was over other than it is not as hot as it was a few weeks ago.

Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
