Good to see you back! Dongfang still shows one on their site, and I have seen them on some of the mail-order sites recently. No members here in a while have posted that they own one, however.

Chinese thumpers are generally 55 to 60 mph machines from stock, at least the dual sports are. Mild mods to increase top speed include carb, exhaust and gearing. CSC sells a head for their 229cc engine that is good for a slight bump in power. Dongfang's engine OEM is Zongshen (CSC's bikes are Zongshen manufactured), so should be compatible. Check out the dual sport section for tips such as what aftermarket carb most are running. Also, have you adjusted the valve valves...numerous youtube videos on Chinese valve adjustment which will, again, be found on youtube under Chinese dual sports.

BTW, is your name based on the singer?

At the final Slayer show this past November in L.A., I met King Diamond in the Forum club. I had no idea what he looks like without the makeup, but my intoxicated friend recognized him, lol.

I am a little confused why is it labeled a 250cc if it’s actually a 229cc ?

One of those Chinese mysteries, lol. There is proably a Chinese proverb and/or fortune cookie on the topic 😂😂.

250cc sounds better, more marketable.
