It does seem as though he's doing to the RX3 what I used to do to rental cars back in the day. Abuse it well beyond its means all for fun and laughs.

I can only speak for where I live and how I ride but to me, the RX3 is great for dirt roads and some light trails to find yer favorite fishin' hole...but really, really shines on paved tight twisties. I can easily drag my toe on the road (from the peg) without any hint of it becoming sketchy...and that's with the stock tires! In stock form this bike handles amazingly well. It's a shame but he's missing out on its true characteristics.

Too bad he wasn't around a generation ago when my grandfathers crew was giving my heavy flack about riding a Japanese bike.
