Different bars, different model?
 
I thought that thr RZ3 had "CLIP ON" handlebars. The photo shown above has high rise bars????? I guess that's a different version than CSC is bringing in to the USA.

Prime example, Doc! A Duc....probably one of the most finely built, bada$$ bikes out there.....but I feel like I need to roll it up to a house and start painting! ;-)
Just kidding! Just kidding!!! Put away the pitch forks!

Please explain the higher price for a lesser bike. :hmm:

Naked bikes are hot right now. It's supply demand pricing. That's all.

hahaha You and Luke think alike! :tup:

No they are not. They just blogged about it. I went to the Zongshen's site for more details. Not really 100% sure what version they will actually import or what colorways or even if the bike will have clip-ons or not.

It will be interesting to see. I do agree with a lot of the folks, the price point would push me to probably buy a Honda over the Zong. At least for this type of Naked bike. Manufacturers just price point these things so high because they are naked bikes. It's just what is popular now. Kinda of like long beards and skinny jeans, if you get what I'm saying.

If you go to the CSC's Home Page you will find a itemized list of the features and colors and equipment of the RZ3 they will be selling.:hmm:
You'll find three color choice and the clip-ons mentioned prominently. So I do not believe that the actual colors and equipment of the RZ3 is still undecided. It's a done deal!
Check it out! :yay:

They must have put it up after my post. It was only on the blog when I first saw them post about it.

Here's the link: http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/CSC-RZ3-2017-p/zrz3.htm

I think I like the rounder headlight as noted below by jontando

With the CSC press release today on the RZ3 the trolls will crawl out of their holes. Let the bias and ignorance begin :tdown::tdown:

BlackBike 08-08-2016 12:22 AM

Wow!

Where is this coming from? Is this something you photoshoped?:hmm:


Thats a big ol gas tank, even being conservative it's close to 350 miles per tank.(5.28×65mpg)

Really pushing the 250 technologies :tup:

Neat, Looks like the real deal.

Not my cup of tea. Much like the RC3 -- if you've got that look on a bike, it better have some snap under that throttle...

With doc and crating it's only 300 dollars less than a Honda CB300f or R here in NY. They go for 3980 plus tax.

I'd go for the extra power and reliability of the Honda, and the resale. Zongshens not up to Honda quality just yet.

dpl096 08-08-2016 02:39 PM

That may turn out to be a deciding factor for many .... I'm satisfied with my RX3 and while the RZ looks sharp Im not their target customer. I wish them great success.
