I'm joining the RX3 club

keithmaine · 11-05-2015, 10:41 AM

I called Steve yesterday afternoon and put my deposit down on a Red RX3 with Explorer package so I could get in on the free shipping deal. I have my TW200 and my Goldwing up for sale (both listed on Maine Craigslist) and was hoping to buy another bike only after making room for the RX3. But I am cheap and opted to save money instead the 2016 is going up in price and I am saving shipping cost.
I may end up leaving her in the crate and storing her at my business until the end of Feb. if I can wait that long

I will finalize things with Steve today.

Keith I think you'll be quite happy with the RX3. Good that you got free shipping in the deal. Did they mention what the 2016 price was going up too?

It will either be $3695 or $3895, he was not sure yet. There will be a silver color added also.

I hope they include free shipping as standard with those new prices. Seems you can get 1000 dollar snowblowers shipped for free or riding lawnmowers that cost far less than the RX3 and weigh as much or more.

Adding 600 dollars to 3900 plus the assembly fee probably would have been to steep for me to bite for mine. That's 4500-4700 before tax which is kind of a leap as good as the bike is. With free shipping it would still be a good deal however.

So the reason I ended up choosing red is I just purchased this a little over a month ago.

The Red RX3 will match

note the emblem resemblance

The shipping to Maine was going to be $425.00 even if they raise the price a couple hundred it is still a good price.

Those Mini's look fun to drive, and yes, looks like some "inspiration" came from the emblem haha!

Is that Rhubarb back there? Love strawberry rhubarb pie!

Why yes it is (rhubarb that is) and I love it as well

And the Mini is very fun it is replacing my Ural for my winter ride this year.

I've been waiting for this day.

Congrats on your new bike.

Ok, please redirect your attention to your Ural resto thread. I'll go there and wait.

That is why I have to keep her in the box until Feb. it will force me to get the Ural done.

Congrats on the new RX3 and great choice on the red. You'll enjoy the extra torque

Also, nice Mini! I have a Mini Countryman and I love it

Congrats Keithmaine! Great color choice and compliment to your beautiful Mini. And you've got a great eye... I didn't notice the similarities the CSC logo has to the Mini logo!

So... do you really think you're going to keep the RX-3 crated-up all winter? Definitely good to make headway on the Ural restoration (love those!) but if it were me, I'd be tempted to at least look... or sit... or ride...

I will keep it crated as long as I can hold out, because it will push me to get my project done. Once complete I will have room to bring her home.
The Ural in pieces takes up a lot of garage space.

Good for you, Keith.
