Any full-size Dongfang bike uses the same 223cc proprietary thumper engine whose OEM is Zongshen. It has been around for years. Chinese bikes' other parts are secondary (generally somewhat poor fit and finish, occasional wiring issues, etc.) So, with a stout engine, you won about 90% of the battle. Barnone has a nice thread on his Dongfang café style bike down in the street section. That bike is known as the DF250RTG, whereas this bike is the DF250RTR. In other words, this bike is probably a good, relatively reliable runabout, like Barnone's café bike is.
These are all the Dongfang bikes using the same engine: http://www.df-motor.com/Product.asp?...me=Motorcycles and their enduro: http://www.df-motor.com/Product.asp?...me=Dirt%20Bike I believe the bobber is no longer available in the US (surprising since it was so popular, but probably has to do with some legal issues). One place that seems to carry most all of them is here: https://www.venommotorsportsusa.com/...t-bikes?page=1 They do like to relabel the bikes they carry as "Venom" so don't let the name fool you; the ones that are also on the Dongfang page are Dongfang bikes, not 'Venom'.
