hahaha You and Luke think alike!

Looks good to me. Should be a tad lighter.

I hate that style of commercial. I feel like after watching it I need a Ritalin.

I like the trellis frame as well, but I'm a Ducatisti.

Prime example, Doc! A Duc....probably one of the most finely built, bada$$ bikes out there.....but I feel like I need to roll it up to a house and start painting! ;-)
Just kidding! Just kidding!!! Put away the pitch forks!

Both the RC and RZ are in a very competitive spot in the market. For now the RX3 is in its own niche, and the TT250 is super competitive in price (if you ignore the 1400 dollar Hawk).

I do hope they do well, CSC is a great company to buy from, I wish they sold every brand by mail lol.

The more I look at the RZ3, the more I like it. But I'm a sucker for naked bikes with a standard seat position.

If I didn't already have the perfect 250 (my sweet RX3), it would be on my short list

I can't find that picture on the blog either. But that circular thing is actually the sight glass for the oil level. Nothing broken there.

Its in the middle of the trip I think past the gobi desert. This is where I lifted the pic from. Sure it's a Chinese domestic unit .not sure what our imports will look like

Yep, that's right. Nothing broken.

That particular bike was at a dealer's in Xianyang. Nothing was broken on it, but it had a few scrapes and scratches. The RZ3 is already in service in China.

You would not believe the condition most of the motorcycles are in over there. They ride their bikes hard and put them away wet.

Our colors will be gray with a red frame, and white with a red frame, at least for the 2017 model year. They had a couple more colors on the Chinese version (all metallic red, and all metallic blue). Those look good, too, but I think ours will be better.

Hmmm. The more I look at it the more it looks like it could be a protective cover. Do all of the Chinese versions say "Cyclone" on the engine covers?

I read the whole thing and it's pretty normal. I was more than pleasantly surprised by some of the more friendly comments though.
These folks are from the Bay Area. It's a different, much more expensive world there. I wouldn't expect a warm welcome for an inexpensive CB. A Beemer on the other hand.........
I just hope there's no dribble-over from the forum. Let them think what they want. We know the truth....and hey, CB's aren't for everyone, especially if you don't have a garage and rely on a local dealer to do your oil changes.

This is great entertainment.

Half way through. Joe is slaying with his humility and backing it up with his qualifications.

Always nice to see honest confident people win.

One reader says Check, Joe comes back with Check Mate ! Especially funny when the naysayers sites something that Joe has long since discussed ,and published himself !
