Rider Magazine RX3 Review

Pardon if this has been previously posted...(short term memory deficient)

But I just received the print edition of the Oct 2016 issue of Rider Magazine.

There's a 3 page favorable review on the CSC RX3.

Only negative was so-so brakes, and engine buzziness.

Here's the digital version (published in May 2016):

It took 5 months to get it into print....

Thanks for reposting this! I remember this article from a few months ago and it's worth reading again.

It's nice that it's finally out in print ... a little late in the riding season for most of the country, but maybe it will boost fall and winter orders.

It also reminded me of the nice upgrades the RX3 got in 2016:
  • Satin handlebar with bar-end weights.
  • Anodized fork with rebound adjustment.
  • Grease zerks on swingarm.
  • New graphics: Adventure instead of Speed.
  • Matching painted fairing panel.

I wonder what 2017 will bring ...
