Rats! I can't get the link to work. I just found a video on YouTube "Top10 Chinese bikes that are not as bad as you think" and the RX4 came in at #4. There are some really cool bikes on that list.

I like #3, the Benelli.

#9 and #4 for me. That CFMoto 650TK looks like a miniature ST1300.

Wonder why they didn't include the RX3 since we DO have it? I recall in the old days of chinariders and mychinamoto, there were tourists and/or ex-pats posting lots of threads who were buying up loads of the sidecars until China started cracking down on unlicensed riders not to mention banning motorcycles in general. The engines were the Achilles heels, so it is nice to see them upgrading to a modern engine design. We had the CfMoto bikes for a short while in the US, so not sure if we will see them again. There is a European ex-pat on mychinamoto who lives in China, and always told people to stay away from Chinese bikes since he had such bad luck with them. However, he has taken it all back once he took ownership of the CfMoto TK. He has ridden it from China to Europe and back, and continues riding and posting about how great it apparently is. He has sold me on one if only they will bring them back to the US, lol.

Motrac does offer a (rather expensive) Grom-like bike in the US. Pricewise, it is in the "why not just buy a Grom?" category. That being said, the company is here, so hopefully the larger bike might make a showing!
