Shame about the Adventure Bike Forum

RedCrowRides · 03-31-2020, 11:43 AM

Yeah i know this is the Enduro / Dual Sport Forum and I'm posting about the ADV / RX3 Forum , but if I posted this on a Forum that has seemingly gone dead for a while, who would see it ?

Shame too, i really like the ZongShen and it's a pity the Forum for them has gone so quiet as of late. Has or did something happened that killed the RX3 market, some rumour of catastrophic failures or anything , I haven't heard of any such goings on and am just curious as to why what was once such a active Forum has fallen into it's current state of affairs.

I think there's a few things involved. One, it's Winter. Our RX3 hasn't seen any riding or wrenching in a few months.
I think another thing is that the newness has wore off. Kinda like when you get a new girlfriend. She's the center of our universe, you dress her all up with fancy stuff and tell all your buddies about it.
Well, the ol' gal has been around a while now....
Also, thanks to the impact of the RX3 on the market, the other "more reputable brands" are now making small displacement ADV bikes. There are now far more bikinis in the pool to look at.

I am selling my RX3......
No hot bed of useful things there for awhile or it has all been posted, the guys are not as "talk talk blah blah" as the cheaper bikes people etc.
My 2 cents worth
