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.

...and let's not forget what a hoot it is to ride in the paved twisties!
I also think what he's missing besides its intended purpose, is that a very small percentage of the riders do and go where he did. You'd get something different more intended for that purpose. For what I ride it for, (paved twisties, gravel roads, light trails...and the occasional Wally World run), I can't think of a better bike for the $$$. To me, everything this dude put it through and it's still running is pretty amazing.
