Welcome to the board...I enjoyed the vid however do disagree with the backhanded jab at the RX3....I'm sure the x300 is a good bike but I remain steadfast in my belief that the "majors" are still unable to match the RX3 in value at the same price and that opinion doesn't include my distaste for slick haired dealers.

I finally saw an X-300 in the flesh, at a Maine dealer. The bike looks much larger than what a 300cc bike brings to mind. In fact, it approaches KLR size from 20 feet away. Yes, it's a nicely put together machine. At the same time, it comes without much of the stuff that is standard on the RX3 so making an apples to apples comparison is tough. Personally, I like the Zong just fine and am happy with the way I have mine farkled. If I built up a X-300 it could easily end up costing twice what the RX3 cost. The RX3 just gives me much more room to customize without breaking the bank.

I recall being shocked the first time I saw a VStrom DL650. It was a 2011 model and I'd seen plenty of photos, but I wasn't aware of just how big it is. |

With all options about $7500 before tt&l, not bad if your not a pure off road hound

I agree, Spud's feedback would be great. No reason to abandon the forum because you bought a different bike. Pop in and say high, be neighborly. :-) It has me wondering if the top end rebuild and valve issues finally pushed Spud over the edge to the X-300. Now that the Ninja 400 is out I would wait to see if that makes it to the Versys X.
