CRT Ghost 250 (DF250RTR) Street Cruiser
The DongFang DF250RTR is a stylish and retro-inspired 250cc motorcycle that strikes a balance between power, efficiency, and affordability. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, this bike offers a range of features that make it a compelling option for various riding conditions.
Key Features and Specifications
- Engine: At the heart of the DF250RTR is a 250cc engine that delivers 16.60 horsepower at 7000 RPM. This provides enough power for spirited rides while still being manageable for newer riders. The engine’s design focuses on a blend of performance and fuel efficiency, making it a versatile choice for both city commuting and weekend adventures.
- Transmission: The bike is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, labeled as “5+N” (five gears plus neutral). This gives riders the flexibility to control the bike’s power output and enjoy a more engaging riding experience. The manual gearbox is responsive, allowing for smooth shifts and better control during acceleration and deceleration.
- Chain Drive: Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a reliable and durable chain drive system. Chain drives are preferred in many motorcycles for their efficiency in transferring power and ease of maintenance. This system ensures that the bike responds well to throttle input and maintains a consistent speed.
- Speed: While the exact top speed isn’t listed, typical 250cc motorcycles like the DF250RTR can reach speeds of 70-80 mph (112-128 km/h), making it suitable for both urban commuting and highway cruising. The bike’s performance is influenced by factors such as rider weight, aerodynamics, and road conditions.
- Braking: Safety is a priority with the DF250RTR, as it features disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. Disc brakes are known for their superior stopping power and fade resistance, providing the rider with confidence and control even during sudden stops.
- Suspension: The front of the motorcycle is equipped with a hydraulic fork suspension system. This type of suspension is excellent at absorbing road imperfections, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. It also enhances the bike’s handling, ensuring that riders feel stable and in control, even on uneven terrain.
Design and Style
The DongFang DF250RTR stands out with its retro styling, which includes classic design elements like a dual muffler system and minimalist bodywork. The bike’s aesthetic is a nod to vintage motorcycles, making it a great choice for riders who appreciate both form and function. The dual mufflers not only add to the bike’s visual appeal but also contribute to a deeper, more resonant exhaust note.
