I think this is about as honest as a guy can get. I really think that for a Chinese 250, the RX3 is a heck of a deal for what you get and I also wonder if somewhere in Zongshen, they hear about these types of trips and say, "They did WHAT to our bike!?" LOL! This lets me know for how I use my RX3, it will be around a VERY long time.

Good to see that other than valve maintenance, the little RX3 made it "sparring with the bigger boys" and got you through this trip unscathed, while a bit haggard, without a major failure of some kind.
Again, the pics are incredible. Thank you.
