I suspect they are the very Acerbis handguards we'd buy at a local motorcycle shop. While most of the Acerbis stuff is made in Italy, I'm sure that some of it comes from China. I just bought two more pairs of those handguards.

Indeed, it was my impression that Zongshen Australia closed shop several years ago. However, if one wished to tangle with the authorities regarding licensing, he could purchase a Zongshen RX3 from either the Alibaba or the Taobao websites.

probably better to go to China and buy and ride it there! luggage consisting of quality tools, silicone glue, zip ties and duct tape.
to get the bike road approved in australia would be a painful process AFAIK

No, this fuel injected, water cooled engine is only available in a 250cc engine displacement.

2080 Chinese Yuan equals 14597.50 Philippine Peso
Seems in the Philippines, they are looking for 50 buyers of Zongshen RX3, who are willing to fill out a Reservation Form and pay PHP15,000 Deposit https://www.facebook.com/groups/zonshen.motard [img]http://www.motorcyclephilippines.com/forums/images/misc/logo-mcp2.png[/image] http://www.motorcyclephilippines.com...&highlight=RX3 Re: RX3 more photos we had the opportunity to test the very 1st RX3 here in the Philippines.. its being sold for 130k for the 1st 50 unit that will be reserved.. but the bike will only be imported here if 50 people will fill up a reservation form, and pay the 15k reservation/downpayment fee. ( as per the motorstar/ zhonshen Philippine plant manager ) an installment plan is being drafted by motorstar by m_pacalda, on Flickr by m_pacalda, on Flickr by m_pacalda, on Flickr Last edited by leopacalda; 1 Week Ago at 11:06 PM. |

Thanks for joining us, and posting your excellent review of the Zongshen RX3. Is your bike burgundy, or red in color? In either event, it is a sweet looking motorcycle.
Please do post a link to the luggage for sale on Taobao. In answer to your question, it's natural for many bikes to have some difficulty shifting into neutral while stopped. I have the same problem with my Honda CRF250X.

It's a blood red color. I like it since bright hot rod red or sports car red draws to much attention. The bike certainly gets enough attention though and its road presence is VERY nice.

RX3 Stainless Steel Carriers/Pannier
Thank you for the info on the gear shifting. I was a bit nervous about it wondering if mine had some sort of glitch. Nice to know that's not an issue. I'll post the pics for the carriers for anyone that has issues seeing TaoBao. The link is here also. Don't know what is up these days but I have to constantly jump back and forth from VPN and non VPN to view pages. Either there are general issues on Hainan with internet or China is cracking down even harder. So here's the link below.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...k1445c7#detail There are a couple other places that sell them on TaoBao also but I lost the links. |

Thanks for posting the Taobao link for the side cases.
