My Dad (I'm 49) just ordered a Dongfang 250 bobber. You wouldn't believe the reason he got one. Hes 71 yrs. old and had to give up his 2006 250 Kaw. Ninja because hes having trouble getting his leg over it. And being a twin overhead cam paralell twin (side by side cylinders) a bit more of its weight is a little high. Higher center of gravity than a lower slung bobber style single in other words. And the bobber has an over all lower profile than the Ninja does so he can get on it easier. BTW, Ivy at ScooterDepot sent his MSO and bill of sale the day after they sent the bike. And guess what, It's already here, before the bike is even due to be here. The Bobber is due to be here next Tues. As soon as I can find an Icon that I can click on to start a new thread I will keep you posted about a more recent Dongfang 250 Bobber experience. John
