I see the engine is not sitting in cradle and infact seems like the "stressed member of chasis which is good for a bike which is going to have a offroad use you know. also the oil filter is naked and in front which can get damage in an adventure bike ... it seems like a "test Mule" of zongshen ... as I havnt seen this engine on zongshen current production line.. neverthless bike is promising... |
Can we have a web link ? Pics don't work on my end update...pics came thru
Link? I guess Facebook means no link. I'd have that screw on filter all day long |
I found this:
https://translate.google.com/transla...90&prev=search about 1/3 of the way down is the RX3S |
See rx4 but missed the rx3s. Thanks for the link fjm

Wouldn't this be the RX5 and not a different RX3 model?
The '5' is supposed to represent Zongshen first ever twin cylinder engine. The '4' of RX4 represents the big single cylinder engine of approximately 400cc. The '3' in RX3 represents the single cylinder 250cc engine generously rounded. The '2' in RX2 represents the single cylinder 200cc engine found in Asia. |
Are we assuming it's twin cylinder because it has twin exhaust pipes? A single cylinder engine can have dual exhaust values and dual exhaust pipes. My guess is this bike is actually a single cylinder twin exhaust and will be called the RX4

Well I went to the link and I didn't see a single spec posted. The article says very little and nothing proving its a dual cylinder engine. Maybe you have a different link to share.

Ironically, we had a 400cc 'adventure' bike several years ago, right here in the U.S. Heck, the Xingyue company had 4 different models--2 'adventure' bikes and 2 dual-sport models available. The problem was the engine had a fatal flaw, and Xingyue never corrected it. Pitster Pro rebranded one of the dual-sports, but pulled it from their line once the engines stopped running and couldn't be repaired.

Here is a photo from the link.

I wonder if this is the Norton licence engine coming out. The Norton licence deal may have changed up all those plans they had about bridging forward the rx4..5..6
Oops, that was a 650cc norton:hmm: Confused...time will tell. Not sure if we shall even see another Chinese bike what with the winds of trade war |
