Once you have yours and see what you get for the money, you'll appreciate both the bike and your wife even more.

As you go through the break in, you will find yourself more pleased. After break in you will wonder why you even hesitated to buy. You should find your other bikes being neglected as you keep going to the RX3 because of the pleasure it brings.

Right up until the first valve adjustment. heh heh heh
Jay, you are killing me!



Everything you said is true.

Maybe I should change my nickname to Hitman? RXecutioner?

No, I think your current user name is an excellent cloaking device.

Maintenance doesn't scare me. I have no issues pulling that bike down to the bare frame. That's why i have issues with owning it. The only issue is, I may get rid of 2 other project bikes.....now to decide which ones.

Oh, in the odd chance i hate this machine I'll turbo charge it. That will be fun for all of you to watch. I've turbo'd all manner of vehicle.

They also stopped selling the original orange. It went so fast it made the paint fade from the fuel tank.

LOL!

Exactly! The paint is going through Doppler shift effect... the orange bike is so fast, the wavelengths stretch to make the color look more pale.

Another CT RX3 Rider to Join You Soon

Hi David -

I'm over in Southern Litchfield County and run a D/S group - Northeast Dualsport Riders - just ordered a 2016 RX3 in Silver. Hoping we can connect some time this year and compare our impressions of our bikes and get a ride in. Not sure where in CT you're located but I am happy to show you some very nice dirt to test out your RX3 on.

Best,

Vic

Omg the valve adjustment is a rite of passage with this bike. I swear I kinda dread having to do it again

Congrats CSaddict on your new bike on order
