Wolf, I think you meant 15". Looks like the tire says 130/90-15.

Yeah that's why I posted that pic, it clearly says 130/90/15

Thanks for posting the photo, Wolfie. :) Please post a link to the thread where the tire photograph appeared.

If you look at the writing on the bottom of the tire, you will see it's a 15-inch wheel. ;) However, it's still interesting that Zongshen makes a cast wheel for the RX3, unless this is a cast wheel transferred from a Honda bike.

Here's a nice walk-around video of the RX3. It's edifying to watch, even if you can't speak Russian. ;)

The more I look at that bike, the more I like it. That said, I think I'd elminate the close fenders. Those are troublesome on the TW200.

I appreciated that video. I've never really focused on the exoskeleton before, and I quite like it; I think it's a good idea.

I wonder if the holes under the motor are intended for a center stand.

The 'beak' would keep the water spray off the front of the bike. :) However, I think the mud would accumulate on the engine without the low fender. ;)

Yes, CSC has stated a center stand will be an option for the RX3. :)

I bet that the rear half of a conventional fender could be mounted to the lower triple to prevent mud build-up.

Here's another interesting, walk-around video of the RX3, in Russian. ;)

Quite frankly, I wouldn't bother. I'd want maximum ground clearance on a bike like this.

Here's some Chinese advertising for the Zongshen RX3. Apparently, the bike can lift the front wheel and do 'stoppies.' ;)

I recently noticed the RX3 has steel braided, brake lines. :)

Did you notice the key hole on the left side of bike, in front of the passenger peg? You can view it at the 1:43 mark in the video. I wonder if the key releases the saddle?

At the 5:52 mark on the video, I didn't see any grease zerks on the lower shock linkage. I wonder if the bike employs bushings, or bearings in the linkage?

Good vid. I really like the flexible LED signals; I might like to install those on my bikes, if I can find them for a reasonable price.

You can really hear the rev limiter kick in in the upper RPM range.

Too bad about that whole Tower of Babel thing. I'd really like to understand that guy.
