I know states dance around the federal laws (obviously California with CARB, but apparently others), but this bike is certified 49 state street legal via the US EPA/DOT as an 'on-highway motorcycle'. It seems that every few years a few states state this as their law (basing it on California's CARB), then bikes get registered in said states, but then, as you posted, apparently the law comes to rear its ugly head! I wonder how they get away with it?!

Me too and the price is better too. Same engine on both models.

The only real difference in the two are the tires and tank which I really don't care for on the DF250RTD. Neither worth the extra $500. Probably the only thing I would change is put a fatter tire on the rear but still looks good as is.

I am going to try and change very little on the DF250RTG that I will soon be getting. Need some luggage capacity.
Will start a new thread when I get her.
It has shipped from the warehouse in CA.

Please post a link to your assembly/build thread. I know you have some modifications planned.

ben2go,
I will start the DF250DFG thread when the bike is in my shop in the crate. Hopefully there will be minimum mods. Maybe remove the air injection pump and block off that port.

The engine could be a clone of the CB125S just increased to 223cc and called a 165FMM.
Hard to know what is what.

Too late. Crate is in Orlando, hope bike is still in the crate. Maybe here early next week?
I rode/drove I 10 from Fl to TX many times, hopefully not again.
I have a brother that lives in Bunky.
