Suzuki Releases an RX3 clone
I read that Suzuki will release a bike very similar to the RX3 in Austrailia. Sorry that I do not have a link, but there is a short report and pics on NewAtlas,com
The Suzy makes the same horsepower as the RX3, but the engine is a twin cylinder job.

I would like to see some of those "Suzuki/Haojue" 125 and 150's in the States, shouldn't be too hard, they are already passing EURO III emissions... shouldn't be that hard to get Cali and the EPA to pass the bikes for road use

AU report & price.
Comes with no luggage, does have a rack to take a box.
Exhaust pipes run underneath the engine where the catalytic converter also resides (just a bit lower than the frame). "will hit Australian shores in September at a very affordable price of AU$7,190." https://newatlas.com/2019-suzuki-250-v-strom/56228/

Okay. AUS$7190 = US$5107. Then add in all the extras, such as luggage, shipping, dealer prep, ... . Apparently, the plain weewee-Strom is 30 pounds heavier than the RX3 with included accessories, and the RX3 already pushes the limit for me on the dinky soft roads I often find myself on. No deal.
