Good question.
I own both RX3 and RX4.
The keyword is sustained cruise speed of 70mph
To cruise at 70mph go RX4. Absolutely go RX4.
The RX3 is akin to the Himalayan for highway capability.
The light weight of RX3 is great for backroads and mild trails offroad BDR etc. If your use scenario is life at 60 or below and you value light weight, RX3 shines
If you can handle the higher weight of the RX4 on trails two track etc and travel to/from your destinations safely at 70mph with some reserve for passing, safety, evasive maneuvers etc, RX4 is the only choice. It’s not even responsible to recommend RX3 for that scenario, imho. Seriously not responsible.
The RX4 is truly a bargain for what you get. It’s a comprehensive package. The top box accomodates an adv helmet with visor as delivered. Same key fits all 3 boxes seat and ignition. You don’t have to shop for crash bars and luggage nor a mild skid plate.
You might post this question on the 2 USA CSC Facebook groups and the big rx4 thread on advrider to get other’s opinions.
I stand by what I’ve written, and i had a great ride on my RX3 yesterday and RX4 the day before.
