Never done them, maybe rode parts of each and didn't know it. On bucket list though, rj

Purchase an RX3, and we can ride the BDR's together, Doc. I have a route planned from Spudville to ride the Colorado and Utah BDRs in a loop. God willing, I plan to do it next year. We could also make a loop of the Idaho BDR and go through Hell's Canyon, et cetera.

Some great photos of rides.
We have nothing quite like this in UK. There is so many restrictions of where you can ride in UK You guys are so fortunate to have such great off road trails. |

I love my SV650S and my NT700V, but mostly I just hook them up to the battery charger these days while I ride my RX3.

With that said, my new DRZ400S fits my needs very well (who wouldn't want a KTM or a Husky or Beta or GasGas but I'm too stingy ;-) so I'll hang on to it for a long time God willing. I've already outfitted it with a desert tank, radiator guards, skid plate, and heavy duty rack built in sunny Idaho :-) If you would allow a Suzuki (and Roger on his Yamaha), we would go wherever you lead next summer. Your planning and leadership and knowledge is unparalled. Roger and I did WABDR last year and found our way very well. This year we did 800 miles on the ORBDR and had a very rough time finding our way, and we got lost in the mountains a couple of times, and once was scary.

Please do pass along my best regards to Brother Roger. Is Roger still riding his 'suicide Yamaha?' Is he down to one motorcycle in his stable?

It's official. CSC is going to import the Zongshen RC3. Here is a video from the CSC Blog, showing the first RC3 to arrive in North America.
http://californiascooterco.com/blog/?p=18662 There is a thread on the Zongshen RC3 at China Riders; here is the link. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=15303

I want an extremely basic bike along the lines of an enduro but street only. Maybe an occasional trail. Frame, wheels, motor and required lighting etc only. No plastics. Low powered say 125cc or 150cc. Full size adult frame comfortable for 5'8 5'10 6'0 etc.. Something easy to hop on and drive to the park, beach, 7-11 etc.. The Madass comes to mind but it is too small but that is the general idea of what I am imagining.

The Zongshen RX3 is my first motorcycle with fuel injection, and I love EFI. I discovered the following video where Zongshen describes the Delphi EFI system in our RX3 bikes.

If you have 12 minutes, 48 seconds to spare, you might enjoy watching the following video detailing the operations of Zongshen International (ZI). The first 6 minutes, 30 seconds of the video is particularly interesting. ZI is working in the areas of aircraft, liquid and natural gas, heavy agricultural equipment, and electric vehicles. ):

What I've always wanted; a Zongshen 250cc three-wheeled pickup.
