Destination Daytona, a bit farther north on US 1 is just as bad....in Ormand.

I lived in Daytona for a few years and can get around pretty good by avoiding the main roads...still won't ride my bike there during Bike Week.

After Bike Week is over, I will be in the area on the bike to visit a few State Parks.

Peter, take and post a few photos of your activities.

Hello Friends,

A new Member here and there is a very good chance I am acquiring a used RX3. I am in the Mid-Michigan (ZIP 48820) area--I doubt there are other RX3 owners in the area.

My used bike does not have the plastic fork protectors. Is there a place I can order them or can somebody provide a part number? Is CSC my only hope for parts?

Thank you All and hoping to be a part of this group.

Simba

EDIT: what color is my bike silver?
My bike to be--its still in California and won't be home till Mid April.

You can find RX3 parts on Taobao, but the hassle of ordering through Taobao, plus the shipping costs are just not worth it.

CSC has every part for the RX3 and the prices listed on their web site. Those fork tube protectors are only $15.95 each from CSC.

Cheers,

Dan K.

Hi Simba.
Hard to tell from the pic if your RX3 is silver or white. Both are good looking colors.
I don't know much about MI, how near/far are you from Potterville Zip 45576?

Thank you.

Only about 30 Miles away.

Wondering if anyone has heard anything of the 2017 shipment of RX3s - I don't see anything up on the CSC site about them whatsoever which strikes me as strange after the frenzy in 2016.

I called a few weeks ago to query about the 2017 TT250 digital speedo...to install on my 2016. They said that the 2017 TT250s were held up in the port for some unknown reason. That may well apply to the RX3s too. With that said, CSC still has a few 2016 RX3s on sale so it makes a lot of sense to not even offer the 2017 models until old stock is gone. That makes it so much easier to market the bikes with only price to talk about.

I was wondering why you asked the Potterville question. Now I see that Motos Of Michigan is a CSC Service Center. Good to see I have local help.

Thank you,

I just pulled the trigger on a RX3 yesterday. I didn't want orange until I read it was the color of the fastest RX3's. I took advantage of the end of the year sale. I ordered the grand tour package and over sized front rotor.

The lady at CSC said they only had 4 2016's left (3 now). I have been watching this bike since they came to CSC. I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it.

#1,congratulations on the new bike!

#2,man that sucks for me to hear (only 3 left)...I've got my plated CRF250X in the flea market on advrider's forum's flea market,2 Facebook groups,and CL so I could buy one myself...I doubt my getting it sold (and coming up with the other few hundred bucks I'd also need) in time. :(

I wonder what the '17's will be selling for...

[TheDC]

Whoa...I actually didn't realise that was my first post here...I've been lurking and reading so much (mostly this thread from page 1) that it felt like I'd been here a while :o

So anyways,Stephen from eastern TN here,really diggin' what I've read on the RX3 these last few months (including "5,000 Miles at 8,000RPM",and have just started reading "Moto Columbia"),and have a hankering to buy a shiny new bike (because I haven't had a new one since I was a teen in the 80's,LOL,and I just want one for once ). I'm a dirty biker,mostly (dirt bikes ), but I've owned my share of roadies big and small (most recently a pair of Shadows last year,a VLX600 and ACE 750).

Nice to meet alla you

Welcome! I can confirm that Orange is both the fastest and best handling off-road!
