As 'sexy' as the new CSC bikes are, I would think the RX4 is a better all around bike than either of the two new ones.

One other comment with regard to RX4 information... although the ADVRider.com is another great outlet for information, and it does have some RX4 info, it is limited to only 1 thread with 64 pages.. I think this site is a much better platform for posting reviews, information, modifications, etc. as they would be lost in the mix on the other site.

I'd like the cost to be less, but after six years I think that CSC and Zongshen have established the fact that their bikes are on par, or better, with what the Europeans and Japanese are releasing at slightly higher price points, and are worth what is being asked for them. |

Just checked with CSC re: paperwork and she said it will send out as soon as the bike is picked up.. kinda bummed to find that it hasnt been picked up yet as i had assumed it was since the haulbikes invoice stated a delivery of 4/27.. Oh well. More waiting to go..
She mentioned that there are 12 RX4's pending pickup.. sounds like they are selling pretty well

I'm also not surprised by the sales volume at CSC. They've got great product and a great reputation for supporting their customers, which makes them the go-to choice for a lot of people who are interested in a Chinese motorcycle. I've bought four so far, and I have no complaints whatsoever. |

Did your haulbikes email have a delivery date listed?

Having bought a TT250, RX3 and RX4 from CSC I'll venture to speculate a bit. The first two bikes were significantly smaller than the RX4. They were shipped in CSC built crates and had a cardboard outer cover and could be moved around with a forklift or pallet jack. In fact, delivery to my house was with a lift gate and pallet jack. The RX4 was delivered by Haulbikes in a custom built motorcycle hauler trailer. When the 4 rolled off the trailer it was ready to go. I could have ridden it home.
All this means Haulbikes is a motorcycle specific shipping service. They will have lots of bikes from either private sellers, dealers, or a distributor like CSC. Also, Haulbikes has fewer trucks making multiple stops along the way. That translates into slower delivery, particularly to the East Coast. Being a niche shipper I think Haulbikes has less chance of damage in transit. You also avoid uncrating and then figuring out what to do with the debris. It just makes delivery take longer. Think of this as waiting for Santa...it's worth the wait, painful as that may be. |
