Looks really nice. I wonder when they will be shipping?

A naked RX-3????
 

What makes the RZ3 so pricey?:crazy: Isn't it just the same engine and drive train as the RX-3, in a naked frame? No windscreen, no side cases, no top case, no crash bars, no spoked wheels, and no skid plate, etc. it should be substantially cheaper than the RX-3?
Please explain the higher price for a lesser bike. :hmm:

A bit more about the RZ3 here: http://pertamax7.com/2016/07/14/zong...3-250-cyclone/

Can't they go with a nice, flat bench seat? I really dislike the bucket seats used on so many bikes these days. The TT250 seat is close, just won't swap over.

I really like it in white. I hope it sells, but competition in the 250 beginner segment is fierce, new and used.

The RX3 was so unique there's nothing quite like it. The TT250 nails the off-road market at the price point.

But the RZ3 ... That's a tougher sell when there are plenty of Honda and Kawasakis out there used for the same price.

I like the rz3 and CSC but at that price after doc and crating it's basically the price of a Honda CB300f which retails for 3999. Used are super easy to find for 3000-3500 with barely any miles or holdovers still new.

I agree. Also appears that access to the valves for adjustment will be more challenging than the RX3. I see nothing special in this bike, nor with the RC version.

Approaching $4000, I'd rather have one of Steve's Mustang replicas. At least they are distinctive, and would make a great little "back of the RV" bike.

I'm not sure where CSC is going with the pricing on this bike. Anyone would spend the extra couple bucks and buy the Japanese machine.

We'll see what happens. If they move, great! If they sit, sales are headed our way. I've never been one much into what I call "rolling scaffold", regarding styling....but styling taste is personal anyway. There's a big market of folks who love this look.

I wish CSC luck! Of course, we all want CSC to succeed. It's an entirely different and supportive way of marketing CB's that we've never experienced in this market before.

I wonder if the 20L tank will fit my RX3. I'd be happy to give up those useless plastic side panels in order to have a larger tank. Oh, and my magnetic tank bag would fit better too.

Looks good to me. Should be a tad lighter.

I hate that style of commercial. I feel like after watching it I need a Ritalin.

2lz, I like the skeletor look. This is the differentiation they are counting on for this segment vs the honda competition. And it (rz3) is a little lower price but true , hard to not go with the Honda and its nation wide exposure.

I like the trellis frame as well, but I'm a Ducatisti.

I sure like the white model and I hope CSC does well with them.

Hard to tell, but there appears to be two hoses going to the water pump. Factory applied thermostat bypass, perhaps?
