Welcome! Regarding the used Japanese vs. new Chinese, we've all been down that path and that's why many of us have bought new Chinese. I've spent literal weeks on Craigs List looking for something good, used Japanese for a decent price and (when I was seriously shopping), all I found was 10 year old junk for a huge price tag. If you have a line on a good, used Japanese bike, it's tough to go wrong.

I have two RX3's and no problems as of yet. We don't ride like we used to either but they've been great bikes, though the valves are labor intensive until they settle in.
