Bite your tongue, Pete. I never put KTM sickers on my Zongshen ZS200GY-2.
After my Zongshen RX3 arrives in Idaho, I will own two orange bikes (Zongshen), and two red bikes (Honda).

This is really an iconic moment for China bikes. Congrats to all that have purchased.

Mine is paid off. Just waiting on the word to come get it and ride it back to Vegas. See you on GT!

Indeed! I'm looking forward to many awesome ride reports in the near future. I also anticipate threads that detail mods that will personalize the bikes.

I think you are wise to stick with the carbureted engine sold in your country. The Zongshen RX3 will be my first motorcycle with EFI. I own four other motorcycles with carburetors, and I don't have any problems with them. I agree with Weldangrind. Once you get a carburetor properly jetted and adjusted, it provides excellent service.

This thread has been an excellent place for us to gather as we awaited the arrival of the RX3 motorcycles in North America. After the bikes are delivered to the new owners, I anticipate many new threads on individual modifications and ride reports in our various forums.

Whats the word, when will you guys start taking delivery? I know some of you are picking up. When will the freight trucks start showing up at houses with new motorcycles?

Same here in Colorado, except mine is red (the one with more torque). The foothills are ready to go, but some of the roads/trails I wanted the RX3 for won't melt until June or July anyway.

I really hope so, this bike seems to be quite a game changer in the world of china motos and adventure bikes in general.
+1 I know highstyle motoring manages to have free shipping on their bikes, I'm not sure how though as the bikes are still cheaper than other places. I dont think we expect free shipping on the RX3, but when will delivery start? |

One of the posts by Joe @ CSC said containers were arriving for a few days. I assume that means no shipping will commence until all has arrived. So probably early next week the first bikes will start to be loaded onto trucks for their journey to each of us.
