I'm thinking you're right about it being the go-to minimalist bike

Welcome aboard, Jeff. We are glad you joined us.

My Zongshen ZS200GY-2 originally had the same wheel sizes as the new Zongshen RX3. The 15-inch rear wheel handles well, but you will get a much better selection of tires with the optional, 17-inch rear wheel. The 17-inch tires will definitely be much easier to find locally, since CSC will be the only vendor in North America for a 15-inch knobby tire.

I agree with you and Weld. The RX3 is an ideal, minimalist touring motorcycle.
