Keep in mind, while many bikes in China are near identical, the SSR bikes, manufactured by Qingqi, have a near-clone of a Suzuki engine as Qingqi manufactures some of Suzuki's sub-250cc engines as an OEM.
My guess is the Zongshen will use one of its stout, Honda-ish engines, which is not a bad thing at all! My TMEC 200 uses a Zongshen manufactured 197cc engine (167 FML engine family) , and I have well over 10,000 miles in the past 18 months of ownership with nothing but oil changes every 600 miles or once a month.
I do hope that CSC take their RX3 bike into account and do not try to price the TT near that level of pricing to compete with SSR and their XF250's.
