Welcome Bstway!
Not sure if you're following CSC's blog, but Joe is on yet another long distance ride on the RX3, and it's been performing admirably. The RX3s can go the distance, and 250 miles is nothing. With the bike that you're looking at it may be a good idea to change the oil when you get back home (350 total miles). I always change my factory fill oil at 100 miles (but I subscribe to the "break-it in as you intend to use it" approach.)
In terms of the RX3 checking all boxes... it does! A bit more horsepower would be nice, but I wouldn't want to trade the lightness, balance, and nimbleness of the RX3 for a heavier mill
Let us know if you pick up the RX3 and take pics of the ride home!
