Thanks for passing along the good information, Kat. :tup: Yes, I did purchase one set of the Kingston tires for my Zongshen ZS200GY-2 (Sierra). I bought a 15-inch, Kingston rear tire, and an 18-inch, Kingston front tire. After the supply of Kingston tires was gone, I converted my Zong to a Yamaha XT225 swingarm, shock absorber, and rear wheel. I later converted the front to a 21-inch wheel.
You might want to stock up on the Kingston tires, because they are likely to disappear from the United Kingdom. Also, I'm sure it would be difficult for Matty2193 to find the tires while traveling through Europe or Africa. |
Front wheel video.
Since it's not specifically RX3 related, I posted the link to a video I thought contains good info for folks new to doing their own maintenance.
It's in Videos titled Front Wheel Installation Tips. |

Kat... thanks for showing the latest info on the rx4!
On the second site you listed I couldn't find a mention of the rx4. I used chrome translator I am a little surprised to see the RX 4 shook out this quick I have not thought to even expect anything on this till late summer. Should have known since that prototype looks pretty retail ready. (I know , a 2018 in US) Guess it will be a little closer to $6k rather than $5k. But it has the looks of a high end bmw! Sharp ride! |

Please answer
Forcasted cost rate-feb 2017... 5500 Euro or $5932.02 US Dollar or 4750.94 British Pound
42.91 horsepower... first official quote I've seen Max speed 99.4194 mph...plenty Seat height 24.4094 inches ... can always go higher with seat, tires etc Ground clearance...7.87402 inches with stock 17/18 rims 5.28344 us gal tank Weight 429.901 pounds closer to 400 would be better but :shrug: Upward cam suppose that means overhead cam? What exactly is ignition ... Ecu what does this stand for , I know what it means but what does it stznd for? electronic computer unit??? Not sure please advise 450.3 ml. Is this same expression as cc... correct? Once again, thanks Kat. I haven't seen the specs. You will probably have access to purchase the rx4 in the UK before the United states. Start saving your nickers. |
Almost the same specs as my 2014 Honda CB500X. My CB is lighter and cost less brand new, $5499 OTD. 2015/16 can still be found as low as $4500 new and with ABS braking.

I'd be shocked if the Zong isn't priced to compete with the extra bolt on's included, like the RX3. It would be marketing suicide if not.
It's all guesswork at this point. |

This still puts me right at $6000 in my bike. I have some other farkles but I wouldn't count them as they would be owner installed even on a china bike.

In the USA, your bikes seem to by priced cheaper than ours. I suspect this will be true for the RX4 as well. :) Yep, 1cc = 1ml :tup: I am tempted to get an RX4 but I think my RX3 could be my last bike :cry: Perhaps once I retire, maybe. Work is killing my back, hip and knees at the moment :ohno: |

Kat, I feel for you. I'll be 60 this month and my knees, hips, back are all revolting for all the fun I had in my 20's, What was I thinking, rj |

i looked at a cb500x with pics today, will post later...filling my piehole now with a little fried yard bird. whats your occupation that's bringing you down? |
Well what a drag, ever since I had that site troubles I can no longer post my own photos.
Stopped by the corpus honda and they had a cb500x. It was a 16 for 6500.00 fit like a glove, so well put together as usual for Honda. Pulled out my mini streamlight and got the sales guy excited but no sale for this cheap bastard. Checked out the parallel twin and all the technology . I have become quite educated since I've been hanging out here. Noticed the shifter seemed small for my size 12 boot. Nothing that couldn't be adjusted I'm sure. I'm used to my tall enduro so it was like a low rider with its street tires etc, some changes ($) would be needed to take it to some of the dusty roads where the fun begins. I would definitely want to equip it with "the kit" https://www.cb500xadventure.com/ :tup: |
