I'm a native of The Dominican Republic and I've been around small displacement Asian motorcycles all my life. I have an auto service garage and after spending $1800+ in gas during ten months driving from my house to my business (3 miles round trip) I decided to get a bike. I love the HD Sporster, but they are too expensive so I'm thinking about the 250 Bobber RTB. I found this forum very helpful and has helped me to make my decision. Thanks specially to Barnone for such a good report on the 250 RTB!
