Greetings from Wisco!

Hey y'all!!

NooB here from the great state of Wisconsin. Just getting into motocycling at the tender age of 52

Intrigued by the Chinese and what they can produce for a small outlay. I own several Chinese smartphones and if that is any indication of the quality/value of their bikes, I'm all for it! I have my eyes on a 250 RTC or possibly a Bobber. This seems to be THE go to place to learn all there is to know about these cool looking bikes! Thanks for having me and please excuse the NooB stupidity. I am mechanically inclined, but pretty new to motorcycles in general. Thanks!

Welcome--if you get the bobber, you can join the cult that member 'Barnone' started a few years ago, and has become our longest and most replied thread--the Dong Fang bobber thread.

hello! wisconsin here too!! noob as well, ordered my first bike last week at 42!!! i got an enduro, excalibur (tmec-200). i was going to get a 250 but liked the look of the 200 much better. can't wait for it to get here. originally i was looking at a bobber, then came across the enduro and fell in love...

Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Still thinking about what to get. Any bike I get now would satisfy the mid age crisis I am going through. I have only just ridden trail bikes and small motos back in the day. I'm turning 52 in a few months and this would be my first street bike.

What about this enduro?

I have one, and this thread was started on chinariders by another guy who has one, but I have chimed in and so has 'footer'--this kind of sums up this particular bike:
