Top speed appears to be around 85 to 90 mph.
The pricing is approaching the affordable selling price of the CSC RX3. I hope CSC doesn't raise the MSRP of the RX3, it could cut into their sales.
It appears that the smaller displacement, smaller size and less expensive motorcycle market in the U.S.A. is expanding. I guess everybody doesn't need a 1000cc 120 horsepower commuting motorcycle!
It'll will be interesting, and fun, watching what other bikes enter the smaller size motorcycle market.
Stay tuned!
The GW250 is several hundred cheaper, uses the same engine and has better ergonomics. Neither come with luggage and you have to take them to the dealer for service to maintain the warranty.
