it looks great but I wonder about the weight it says 245lbs but I bet it's more like 650lbs
given the RX4 as a reference ! 70hp though would definitely give me the drools !

I'm skeptical if CSC is ready or it even makes sense for them to start pushing more expensive products sing this 1 dealer only model... this idea of a "diy" bike is lost as the price goes up. People will want to be able to get service reliably.

Depends upon CSC's RX6 pricing delta with mainstream manufacturers; most modern well specified >650cc class bikes are going for over $10,000 MSRP now. If they can bring a 70-90HP 650-850cc RX series bike in at around $6000-$7500, I believe that they will still sell; especially if Zongshen is using name brand componentry. It would definitely help if the Section 301 trade tariffs against China were dropped, the USTR office announced the required four year review of said tariffs yesterday, and in light of the current extreme inflationary environment, it would definitely make a difference. I believe that Chinese motorcycles are currently subject to a 25% surcharge; remove that and the price difference between a Chinese bike and a European or Japanese bike will be substantial enough to get people to take a chance on one.
