If they watch how well CSC is doing with the Zongshen; however, not sure of the economies of scale as CSC is headquartered in the outskirts of L.A., while Honda is massive and worldwide. If they use the RX3 bike in the US as a test market, and as they sell worldwide, they might figure they could sell 'x' amount of their bike worldwide. The RX3 is sold worldwide, but depending on importer/distributor, seems to have mixed results as evidenced by the worldwide members asking for fixes here on chinariders for their RX3. Either way, Honda could look at the RX3 as it is sold in all its forms worldwide, and figure their bike would fit in as a competitor as their bike is pretty much the same bike manufactured in Thailand no matter where it ends up, and would thus have more consistent quality.

To be honest, I am surprised it took Zongshen to answer a question no one really had in the first place--would people go for a small-displacement adventure bike?
