The bike looks a lot like the Zongshen ZS250GS-3A.
 Here's the Zongshen RC3.

It's official. CSC is going to import the Zongshen RC3. Here is a video from the CSC Blog, showing the first RC3 to arrive in North America.

The Zongshen RC3 has the same engine as the Zongshen RX3.

The Zongshen RC3 is a new bike, and is definitely different from the Zongshen ZS250GS-3A.

Interesting. I wonder if they tuned the engine any differently from the RX3.

The RC3 is obvious competition for the Honda CBR300R, another single-cylinder bike with an MSRP of $4,399. I wonder what price CSC will fix for the RC3?

It looks nice. I'm really curious about the price. The Honda CB300's are really good bikes and can be had around 3700 or 3400 for the F naked bike. If it sells for 2500 or something like that it'll be competitive.

Apparently they took the Zongshen RC3 bikes on a 10,000 kilometer test ride. Here is the video.
