WWs would be neat.
Out riding in the white stuff today.

Put some drag bars her and I like them.

Good stuff & thanks for the link. I just ordered the plug.
those Drag bars look awful pretty on the bike Please forgive for what may be a stupid question. What's the diameter of the bars?
And Barnone thank you for all your postings on this Bike

Gardo,
You are welcome and it will be good to get some input on the bobber from you and others.
The bar diameter is 7/8". I think I will order some that are a little wider as the ones I had laying around the shop that I put on the bike are only 28 1/2".

Tell me if this engine in my Dong Fang (167FMM 229cc CG125 OHV)

doesn't look like this engine

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/37...ine_400cc.html
which looks like a 400cc CG125 OHV
Waiting for a response from that site regarding EPA and sample price.
Maybe I can buy the top end?

Any help from our members in China would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Those engines do look similar. Have not seen the 400cc one in any of the motor shops in Guangzhou MC market. Thinking it might be one of the 4 speed jobs designed for ATV's and not motorcycles

.

Alibaba vendor usually means just a trading company. If Guangdong Yatian Industrial Co., Ltd. is such a powerhouse in the manufacturing world, you would think they might have a decent website and spec sheet to get some further info.

Cheers!

A few photos of my ride out to the ranch.

Man i do not tire of you posting pics about that bike

I was thinking of buying a few of these for all of my brothers and myself from scooterdepot. Did you're bike come with a actual title to register or just a MSO? I ask because I'm in NY and it is nearly impossible to register an off road vehicle with a MSO here without jumping through hoops for months, and even then it gets denied. I know all the sites say this bike is street legal but that doesn't mean a thing without a title in NY or a way to get one easily.

Barnone, thanks for the pix. Never enough.

Please get someone to shoot some video of you using that bobber to herd those cattle to their next feeding. Lasso in your clutch hand.

Better yet, video of you on the bobber herding last year's crop of 'gators to their next feeding!!

Yeeehaw!

That really is a cool bike!

Is it genuinely a hard tail? I didn't know they were still allowed to make those (probably another fictitious rumor I heard about hard tails being outlawed).

And ditto - I agree those are entertaining pics! Thanks.

I bought mine from the Scooter Depot, i have to say i wasn't at all to impressed when with some of their staff. i did speak with one guy named Matt who said that they have shipped this bike to NJ/NY area. Now if its a title I cant tell you they spoke about the MSO. Give them a call or try county imports. Due to the videos I found on youtube, I've shared emails with these guys after I bought the bike and they will be posting one of the DF250RTB. It couldn't hurt to reach out to them and ask as well.

One more day and my bike should be here 28hrs and counting
