RX3 Production Discontinued

Kind of a sad day, given this news from the ExhaustNotes blog:

https://exhaustnotes.us/blog/index.p...oduction-ends/

RX3 production by Zongshen has ended and CSC has sold all of their remaining RX3 stock. I'm sorry to see production end on the bike that pretty much kick-started the small bore adventure market in the US. Without the RX3, I doubt that we would have the plethora of small bore adventure bikes (390 Adventure, Versys 300 X, G 310 GS, IBEX 450, Himalayan) to choose from that we have today.

It still surprises me to this day that it took a small boutique American motorcycle manufacturer and a Chinese engine supplier to prove to the world that there was demand for adventure motorcycles that didn't have litre plus sized engines and weighed less than 500 lbs.

It was a great ride while it lasted, time to crack open a cold one and give a salute to the RX3.
