Hot Wheels FAQ

"Is Hot Wheels for sale?"
   Absolutely not. None of the bikes featured on this page are for sale, or will be considered for sale or trade.

"How fast does that go?"
   About 55 mph tops, although that changes with the weight of the rider. The bike has a weight capacity of 350 lbs. The seller advertised much faster speeds, but it's unclear if the bike was ever able to actually attain that. 

"What size engine is that?"
   The manufacturer claimed it to be a 250cc. That would be a lie. This bike is somewhere in the 110-150cc area. It has four gears.

"So does it go on the highways?"
   Absolutely not. 

"Obviously it's street legal though...?"
   While not every example of this motorcycle includes a title, this particular bike was lucky enough to come with one! It is possible to register a bike if one was purchased without a title, but it is certainly more of a hassle than having it come with one. This bike has everything it needs to be legal on the road, like headlight, turn signals, mirrors, plate, and brake light. It even has a bonus brake light for added safety due to low height!

"But like, what kind of bike is it?"
   This bike is a Dongfang Villain 250cc DF250RTF chopper. It's a manual drive, street legal bike made in China. Very little real information is to be found on the bike online, so if anyone knows anything more, absolutely feel free to comment! 

"Do you have any other facts about the bike?"
   Well, the wheel size is 70/70-15 on the front, and 205/40-14 on the back. The wheel base is 69 inches. It has hydraulic disc brakes, hydraulic forks, and a single cylinder, four-stroke engine complete with chain drive. It has a 2.5 gallon gas tank and a speedometer that does not currently work. It has a five inch ground clearance, and 23" seat height. It weighs 260 lbs. 
 
"Where is Hot Wheels?"
    Hot Wheels is located in Northeast Ohio, halfway between Ashtabula and Cleveland, in a little lake town. It enjoys short rides to the beach and loves going to local restaurants.

High Score! New Official Top Speed!

   Hot Wheels was ready for some major action after being out of commission for its most recent repairs. It's running better than ever! The performance improved so much, that Hot Wheels was able to reach a higher speed than ever before, topping out at about 55 mph this time! Too bad there was a cop, because it might have even had a little further to go! For a show that exciting, Hot Wheels deserved a VIP parking spot at its destination!

Goldie

   Some of you might have noticed that other mini-chopper that seems to like to hang out with Hot Wheels! That's Goldie! Goldie is a Diablo 125cc mini-chopper.    Goldie came from a friend, who got it from a different friend in the group who passed away a while back. Originally, legend has it that this chopper was discovered in a man's shed, next to a few others, each with its own different theme.     Goldie needed a lot of work as well when it came in. The front forks were completely shot as far as the finish was concerned, and the chain kept popping because it wasn't assembled correctly at the axle- it never had a spacer it was supposed to get.    After the basic routine maintenance, some major cleanup, ironing out all the mechanical and wiring kinks, it was time to add the headlight, paint it up, and take it to Bike Week!     Wait, no, of course not. This thing doesn't have a clutch! Goldie was born to have a suicide shifter...

That Exhaust Though...

  While the saddlebags were shipping, it seemed time to do something about that god-awful shape to the exhaust pipe. It looks so much better straight and wrapped!
