I must be blind. I can't seem to find the page with it on it on their site. Can you post a link?

That's been around a while it's a Dongfang DF250RTE-B. It has a Zong engine.
Here are some better pics http://www.scooterfolks.com/DB_D250R...-d250rte-b.htm http://df-motor.com/product_show.asp?id=696 |

Blinged up re-badged Hawk with street tires (or is the Hawk an unblinged Sunny with kobbies?) ? It appears that several of our bikes are built on the same or VERY similar platform. BTW I just purchased 2 Hawks and am loving them so far.

Over head cam engine and street tires. Just the thing for guys looking for street speed. Should be able to get in the high 70's or low 80's with a little gentle persuasion. You street runners should be overjoyed. It is only just short of twice as many dollars as a Hawk. There is even a song called "Sunny".

To me if they get over the $1600 ranges you might as well go with CSC TT!

They all share very similar attributes and generally are very similar. As almost all china dual sports will use 1 of 2 engines honda clone engines. There are always exceptions to this rule. The big differences are in quality from the manufactures. Haosen manufactures both the hawk and the hawk's engine. Where as the Dongfang uses a Zongshen engine that is epa certified for street use. In china supply chain is everything so typically vertical integration produces a better product but if you have good suppliers ( like Zongshen) then that is not always the case. The TT is still going to be almost $2500 out the door.

Yup....for many years, a Hondoid was a Hondoid was a Hondoid. Haosen (Hensim) has always made a "nicer" version of a Hondoid, along with Zong. Lifan was the standard bearer, solid Hondoid for quite a while. Now the Hawk and CSC TT250 have once again elevated the bar on the Hondoid dramatically. Very nice pieces, both of them. The only breakaways were the Zong Sierra (Yamaha) and the Konker/Qlink/SSR (Suzuki). Both of these have always been of a noticeably higher grade and quality than your Hondoid of old.

The major lacking point of these motors on the bikes are the absolute weak amount of horsepower. They should focus a bit more on building the bike to put out 20-22 horsepower. I know they don't want to spend a ton on research and development, but a motor that could actually move and do a rolling speed wheelie would be a much better selling point. Even if it required the motors to need to be liquid cooled or to be honest, they could switch to fuel injection for better power.

Not for me. I have zero interest in doing wheelies. Perhaps a used Japanese bike would be a better fit for your needs? CB's are not for everyone, as they say.

Look at that rear sprocket. Typical Hondoid, geared to climb a telephone pole! LOL!

Is this bike street legal in California?
Since this dealer is located in California, I'm assuming the bikes they list and sell must meet the CARB rules and regulations.
Nice looking bike! |
