Thanks for the links! I do like their scooters, they look like fun, to the extent you can buy that off the rack. i suppose they sell to a niche market where the price is not an issue for those who want to look hip but can t or won t DIY.
A few lines from the sales rap on the blog caught my eye:

Let me tell you just a bit about Zongshen. They make parts for a certain German motorcycle manufacturer whose blue-and-white emblem is patterned after an airplane propeller. They make machined parts for a certain US motorcycle manufacturer whose bike kind of makes a potato-potato-potato sound (you know…loud pipes save lives and all that). And that motor scooter known the world over as Italian…

That s why one should always insist on genuine china (over fake, rebadged china)

So if I didn t have a stable full of small bikes, I d keep an eye out for the RX-3! If it comes here, I d like to test ride.
