I just read in another website, either motorcycle.com, Visordown.com, or rideapart.com (sorry I forgot) that the RX3 was adapted to be used as a police motorcycle.

Thanks for posting the good information, Doc. I must admit, I am not surprised. The Zongshen RX3 is a great little motorcycle. If you discover the link, please post it.

Can you find the link again?

Thanks for posting the link, Doc.

CSC has received four of the RX3-P bikes in Azusa, and is working the bike through its paces.

I enjoy watching time lapse videos of Shanghai. Here is one I had not seen before.

I've been to China 6 or 7 times now. Shanghai is OK. The Bund, Pudong, and Chongming Island are the only things that are worth going back for. The traffic is awful and motorbikes are banned in most of the city.

Cheers,

Dan K.

Thanks for posting your insights.

I understand. I would rather live in rural Idaho than any large city, anywhere in the world. However, I still enjoy viewing time lapse videos of Shanghai.

Do we have any Suzuki V-Strom 650 owners reading this thread? Suzuki has issued a recall for 2012-2014 modes of the V-Strom 650, SFV650, and Burgman 650 for tappet/cam wear issues.

Smoking good deal! That's $1,100 off the 2016 prices. I'll bet those go quick!
