450cc engine
A 450cc engine is an exciting prospect. In addition to the larger displacement engine they will probably have to modify and improve the brakes, suspension and frame to match the extra power of the larger engine.
This would make for a very attractive bike. When will CSC begin to accept orders? I want to get in line.

Your information is consistent with an introduction of the RX4 motorcycle next year.

The NC450 engine has been in production for at least several months. However, based upon the information from Detours and the published plans of Zongshen, the RX4 motorcycle will not be released until 2017.

Here are the dimensions of the NC250 vs the NC450:
So, in terms of a drop-in replacement, I'm not sure there's an extra 1.5" under the gas tank to accommodate the NC450 height, without some modification. And we would have to make sure the chain would clear the frame. There may be other frame fitment issues too. NC250 NC450

I would think the evolution of the RX4 will be watched closely by many given the ever expanding growth and proven durability of the RX3. Ive read too many posts of people with the "bigger is better" mindset saying that's the range they are wanting .... I'm gonna stick with the 250 ... be is an RX3 or Bashan - I think it's the perfect buzz to town and go exploring the country roads size.. just my opinion. 6 years ago I bought a KLR650 for that purpose and it didnt take long to realize it was too big and bulky for me to lug around fence rows, cow paths and field waterways/drainage ditches.... at least for me it was.

250's not bad at all for sub 65mph work but a 450 if it's only a small weight penalty would make the RX3 shine bright amongst a larger group of riders. With a 450 you should get excellent performance to 85mph or so which means lower RPM's and a comfortable cruise on the highway which would eliminate the only weakness the RX3 has. I'm positive a 450cc similar design wouldn't weigh much more than the current 250cc.
The ADV world has been drooling for a 450cc bike for a long time now. |
