I chose the blue. I have a red Honda CT70, and an Orange BMW F800GT. I don't have a blue bike. :tup:

I thought the Orange was originally Yellow when I first saw pictures of the RX3. I would have went for yellow. :)

Everyone who has seen the blue in person says it is really fetching. :tup:

I can attest to the blue being "fetching." It's really gorgeous in person, and the metallic paint really pops. Below is a photo I took with my phone, but even then, the blue really stands out. Blue is my second choice in color behind orange… and only because I've bought a blue everything for the last few years (other bikes, cars, etc.)

I can't say for sure, but the red looks like it would be metallic also. I saw the small photos on the CSC website and one looks like a bright red, but the tank photo looks more like a metallic/ruby red. Can't wait to see the red color in person. If it shines like the blue, it will really "pop" visually.

It's fair to say that each of the available colours look really good, even by laptop monitor standards. Such a far cry from the typical China motorcycle colours that we're used to.

Like any good paint job, these bikes have vibrant colors which appear to change hue under different lighting conditions. :tup: The orange looks either yellow, or orange, depending on the light level and angle of illumination. Likewise, the red probably appears either burgundy, or blood red, as reported by forum member SaharaStorms. :)

Zongshen has definitely improved the paint standards for the Chinese motocycle industry. :tup: In addition, it seems the quality of the plastic parts has improved. I see this on my ZS200GY-2, where the upper side covers are brittle ABS, while the lower side covers are very nice polypropylene. ;) The plastic on the RX3 is reported to be nice and supple. The only exception might be the lower fork guards, which won't take much punishment, and are readily available for a modest price at Taobao. :tup:

I haven't heard any bad reports concerning the luggage. It is probably constructed of the same polypropylene. :)

I hope it is. If I hear good reports from fine members like you, I might adapt a set to Lifanda.

I chose orange. However, I would like to see a nice NEON color selection to stick out on the road more.

Thanks for posting your input, Pete. :)
