As near as I can tell, that's a supermoto version of the Hawk. Most of the plastics look identical, and the engine cases even look the same. Look me up if you make it out this way and we can make some arrangements.

at that price point, I would pay the extra money for the SSR, Pitster Pro or TT250. Sometimes the name, warranty, and/or factory support are worth the extra little bit of cost. Just my 2 cents.

However, in the past, I had found a possible connection between Dongfang and TMEC, so this particular bike could be TMEC-sourced, but they toss in the Dongfang 229cc engine certified by the EPA/DOT. You could be onto something, but no one on Chinariders has ever reported owning one of these, so we cannot confirm if there is a connection.

i really like the look of the xf250 but i am having a hard time justifying the 3k price that i seem to only find for them. i emailed csc and asked them about building it with 17" street tires and he said it would be an extra 800-1000. at this rate i may be better off finding a used japanese bike.
i may be crazy but i love getting that crate and putting it together..thats the best part! so that is driving me to go cb..lol |

Well you could just get the stock rim sizes, put more streatable tires on it, then keep an eye out for cheap rims you want. $800-1000 is alot of money
