In order to be certified by the EPA, motor vehicles must have a "closed" fuel system.....no venting to the atmosphere, or it can't be sold in the US or EU.
In two weeks, 2017, the Euro 4 standards will go into effect in the EU that will have much more stringent emissions standards......and require ABS brakes.
This affects all new bikes. Since the RX3 has already passed the Euro 3 standards, it should be OK, at least for another year.
The RX 4 will have to meet the Euro 4 standards or it cannot be sold in the EU.
No one knows whether or not the EPA will adopt Euro 4 standards in the US.
