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?!

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. Last edited by Barnone; 11-04-2018 at 09:22 AM. |

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. Latest on the crate 1/07/2018 01:12 PM Located at SLIDELL, LA |
