Hello, new member from MO.

Hey everyone I'm Thomas, from Springfield, MO.
I've got a df250rtg. I've had it about 4 months and I'm approaching the 150 mile mark on the engine break in. I've read that it tops out anywhere from 60-80mph, but I haven't had mine over 40mph more than a hand full of times, city driving.
I haven't done any real modifications to it, except a simple alarm system, city living, and I wrapped the exhaust, say what you will it looks good on that bike.

Thanks, looking forward to learning from everyone's experience.

I think you are using that bike exactly how it was meant to be used. It is a great city bike.
