New CSC bike

Looks like CSC motorcycles is debuting a new bike on the 16th. New 400cc cafe racer?

Anybody got a link to that press release?
I didn't see it on CSCmotorcycles.com. I was checking out their e-bikes, yesterday.

Its on their facebook page. I'm not a facebook user.

I scrolled down the most recent (Jan. 2021) EPA/DOT certification list and there are two bikes listed near the RX4 (this is the >279cc section of the list). The list is often not always up to date. I will keep my mouth shut as to what the two model names are out of respect for CSC to be able to make a big announcement; Also, I have a feeling that the bikes certified aren't necessarily what their announcement actually will be (there are occasions where a bike is certified and looks promising, yet a manufacturer/importer/distributor never actually imports said bike). However, before the RX4 came to the showroom, CSC did show the RX4 and a couple of other bikes a few short years ago as 'coming soon'. If you remember those bikes, those are the ones certified on the most recent list. I will see on the 16th if I was correct...
Edit: I was wrong on both bikes; I thought they were going to roll out the v-twin adventure bikes they teased us along with the RX4 a few years ago. However, currently, they have two distinct EPA/DOT certifications for two different >279cc bikes along with the model names. I googled both names and two different bikes came out (meaning neither was an adventure bike). If they are only debuting one bike this week, I am fairly certain I know which one it is. PM me your guesses and I will say whether you are right or wrong. But, again, I will hold back my guess publicly out of respect for CSC.

Not sure if they are announcing multiple bikes but I did see one that will be produced. Like you though, I won't divulge the model out of respect for CSC. I'm sure it will do well.

Ok, have to save my pennies, anyone give hints to price? We can keep it a secret here.

I believe it is an Zongshen RX3 sports bike. Its a 250cc liquid cooled 6 speed. They are selling parts on their website for it.

wheelbender6 · 04-13-2021, 09:10 PM

I'm working from home Friday, so I should be able to watch the reveal.

Falkon45 · 04-13-2021, 10:24 PM

I went straight to zongshen's fb page. Lol. I must say... KTM might sue these guys for one of the bikes. Looks mighty close to a 390 duke.

Falkon45 · 04-13-2021, 10:31 PM

Also, if it is that cafe bike, I'm glad have a hard decision to make. Lol.

Sport Rider · 04-14-2021, 10:56 AM

well, it's either a 400 cafe or a 400 naked standard. These are the zong images

**JerryHawk250** · 04-14-2021, 11:49 AM

380cc and 36hp. could be fun.

MeatHammer · 04-14-2021, 11:51 AM

They are working on the 400cc cafe bike in a picture on Facebook

**JerryHawk250** · 04-14-2021, 12:00 PM

According to EPA certifications it's actually 378cc. Standard for the motorcycle industry to round it up to 400.

franque · 04-14-2021, 12:39 PM

Hmm... I didn't think they were importing the twin. They already imported a 250cc sport bike, the RC3. I'm not sure that anybody bought one.
