Indeed, that is amazing.

Incidentally, unlike many other Chinese motorcycles, I started riding my Zongshen 200GY-2 the same day it was assembled. I didn't need to check all the bolts and apply loctite, et cetera. My Zong was assembled very well at the factory, and all the hardware was of high quality. Therefore, I haven't have any bolts or parts fall off the motorcycle. Similarly, the husband and wife who toured China and Mongolia had their Zongshen bikes assembled on the street, and then immediately began their adventure.

Zongshen manufactures motorcycles with excellent quality control. The new RX3 should exhibit even better quality of manufacture than previous Zongshen bikes.
