Hi all I have the 2018 ghost and so far I love it as far as assembly it was Handel bars, shift linckage and mirrors. The mirrors are cheap just toss them lol I was looking at the street right behind my bike lol. Got a nice set off amazon for $20. Now I did get a flat on it as I was out but that was just road hazard. A new HD tube was $55 and that was with install. Now to remove the back tire you do need to drop the pipes kinda of a pain but not to bad. I'm still braking it in but runs 45 to 55 no problem with lots of room to go can't wait till I can fully open it up. Always getting complaments on it as well

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'.
