Jay, I don't have the inclination (or the skills) to construct a YamaZong as Spud did.
I am already giving up a few days riding to work on the Zong.
Need a valve check, new rear tire, chain and sprockets, and check the swing arm bearings.
Due to age and health issues, I would rather spend time riding than anything else.
I usually sell/trade whichever bike is being used the least. This time it was the Scout...only 3,000 miles in a year and a half.
The DR 650 would be the next likely candidate...only ~200 miles the whole year (2 months in summer).
I really like the RX3. It was my bike of choice in NC. But since I use it primarily on the highway, I need something with a bit more oomph.
Don't think I can wait for the 450 cc Zong...don't know if I will even be riding in a couple of years.
I'll keep the RX3 until Spring. Should easily have 10,000 miles.....and then?
