Late last night put some gas in her and she started up just fine. Took her for a run down the driveway before putting her to bed. Has four way flashers.
Very poor Chinglish in the owner's manual. Certificate Of Origin came with the bike so I will go and try to register her next week. Last edited by Barnone; 11-12-2018 at 05:17 PM. |

Sweet little bike. Please show us a pic of you on it, so we get a sense of fit.

I am totally thinking about getting one of these because the price is right. What is the top speed it can get and how is the real world MPG? Does it feel quality enough or rattle bad?
The specs on the sales website seem exaggerated with claims of 80+Mph and 67MPG. It would be epic if you could make a video of this going down the road since it is so new no one else has! |

It seems to be decent China bike quality. I have owned about seven Chinese bikes over the years with good success but they are not Japanese bike quality. Don't buy one if you cannot turn a wrench. Probably won't be able to answer any performance question for a while as I will be breaking in the bike as per the owner's manual. Don't see the value of a video of the bike going down the road plus don't have a video camera anyway other than my cell phone. I had two DF250RTBs over the years and the last one I owned for 4 years with little trouble. It had a cruising speed of about 60 MPH. Definitely not an Interstate bike. If you want to go faster than that then this is not the bike for you. |
