The fixation on engine size is understandable, but a bit frustrating. It tends to dominate bike discussions at the expense of everything else.
I think CSC have stated that the RX3 is the right bike for the US market for the forseeable future; it's still enormous value for money (remember what you get out of the box) and Jo Berk has said 250 is enough for the majority of people that try it.
There's a natural tendency to think just a bit more will solve all your problems, but with that comes more weight, more complexity, more cooling, and more fuel consumption. In the case of a Chinese manufacturer, a whole host of unknowns as they're not experienced at OEM engine development. At least not yet.
