I seem to recall Joe Gresh's friend Sergeant Zuo having over 50K miles on his RX3. I have no doubt that there are lots of high mileage RX3 bikes in China, we just do not hear much about riding in that part of the world.

RE the loud exhaust....on the RX3 a lot of that noise is actually intake noise, not exhaust. You can try an experiment. Ride at a steady 55 or 60 mph (faster is even better) and modulate the throttle. The engine speed won't change much but you will notice an immediate change in noise level since you have opened up the throttle body. I am convinced the change is due to resonance at the intake.
