Here's the response I gave one of the Facebook pages.

What everide missed, forgot or ignored is to describe what the RX3 'is' ... instead of what it's not. Its strengths, rather than only its weaknesses. Its capability instead of only its shortcomings.
Starting with the concept that the RX3 is a 250cc, not a 650, not a 1200. And a road-biased adventure bike, not a dirt bike, not a hooligan, not a sport tourer.
And then ask the question ... Does the RX3 do the job it was designed to do ... Long distance touring under 75 mph with adequate dirt capability for fire roads.
From there, it's fair to test how far you can go off-road, how fast it can go and how well its stock equipment hold up. But if you're going to push the limits, it's also fair to equip the RX3 for the conditions ... Which everide did NOT do.
Instead, he beat it to death under conditions it wasn't designed to handle, and 'honestly' described its problems, but with no attempt to solve them. And with no attempt to describe its actual strengths ... Even though it actual DID what he asked it to off-road without breaking in half. But since he's 'worried' about Chinese quality, he calls it a failure.
So whatever. He proved it's not a wr250, a klr650, or a 1200 gs ... Big whoop, tell us something we didn't know.
Waste of time
