New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

[rjmorel]

After looking on Vessel Finder I think that's the XIN FEI ZHOU. With my new glasses I can just barely make out the name on it. )))) rj

I'd be surprised if there WAS a problem. Several EFI models from various manufacturers run perfect out of the crate, obviously getting it right can be done, and it is also obvious that the folks at CSC love a challenge and are never satisfied. That's why I ordered one--close to perfect for my needs right out of the crate. Obviously whomever speced the Cyclone has been paying attention to the threads on various sites about the perfect small displacement adventure bike.

If I decide to upgrade to the better luggage and/or 19-inch front wheel can I deal with that when the shipping notice is sent or should I go ahead and call it in?

I would call it in. The 19-inch wheels are a good 50 days out, but the Tourfella bags are in and they are going fast.

Regarding the earlier question about what's left in what colors, it would be best to call and ask for Ryan at 909 445 0900.

Just got off the phone with Ryan and he'll make sure a set of the Tourfella bags will ship with the bike.

Every time I call CSC someone different answers the phone with a positive and friendly voice. Must be a great place to work!

If I order another bike will I get a quantity discount?

It didn't take you long to become a China Rider. One Chinese motorcycle is not enough; that's why I will soon own two.

Also curious about this. If one were to open a moto tour business and ordered 15 bikes, would there be a nice discount to go along with it?

[CSCDude]

Guys, on requests of this nature, it would be best to give us a call. You can reach us Mondays through Fridays at 909 445 0900.

Joe, will you be there Monday?

Thanks.

Will you keep it in the US, or take it back to Haiti with you?

The XIN FEI ZHOU is underway using engine as far as this link goes a few minutes ago.

No, I'll keep it in Oregon where my house is. When I finish this mission, I'll probably not take another.
This bike would be a surprise gift for my wife (to replace her TW200), that's why the color question is important.
I'm toying with buying two, one for her and one for me and getting rid of a bunch of the bikes I have now. It would be a good bike in Haiti and they already sell Zongs here, but there's probably no market for this model here.

Indeed, the Xin Fei Zhou is definitely berthed at the Smith Island Dock. The vessel has finally, officially touched shore at Southern California. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to once again post Randy Newman's tribute to La Ciudad de Los Angeles, The City of The Angels.
