Looks like the Hawk and Storm had a 20 hp supermoto baby.

I looked at them before. It has the overhead cam. I think they are exaggerating a little. It's probably more like 18hp. But still a nice looking bike.

I don’t think I’ve seen that one before. I looked at a lot of Dual Sport motorcycles before I bought my Hawk. I went with the Hawk because of all the support and following on this website.

Are you thinking of getting one?

Keep us posted!

No, I think it's fairly new .... just looking around. I'm good where I'm at. I'm not a fan of the whole supermoto thing, I think I'm just too old for that just like I'm not a fan of SUV's. I like nice cars and trucks.

I also thought it was over exaggerated for a 229cc China bike.

Reminds me of the SSR 250.

It's made by Dong Fang, the same company that puts out the what-was-once-popular bobber, and makes the full-size sports bike known as the X-22 r sold via Venom Motorsports. Venom's Villain, Ghost, and Rebel are also mfg. by Dong Fang Funny enough, all of Dong Fangs full-size bikes are all lumped onto the same EPA/DOT certificate since they use the exact same 229cc engine mfg. by Zongshen (it is Dong Fang's proprietary engine OEM'd by Zongshen, not the same engine as say, the TT250/San Gabriel). Interesting that they get away with all these same bike passing EPA/DOT on the same certificate, but they do use the same engine. I don't think anyone here has the RTE, but I do vaguely recall one member had a DF dirt bike with 21/18" wheels, but he stopped posting soon after getting it. I do believe it is the only Chinese dirt bike available in the US currently offering a 17/17 street tire setup. I would consider one, but since I live in California I "need not apply".

I contacted redfox about the engine, and they told me they do not have any in stock and they are discontinuing that model of bike.
