Not a fleet. Just an RX3 and a SG400. But I do have two other chinese-made motorcycles: An SSR Buccaneer 250 and a Benelli Leoncino Trail.

The RX3 is more powerful and arguably a better bike than the Buccaneer.
The Buccaneer frame broke, but the bike has been 100% reliable other than that (And it was replaced under warranty). The RX3 has had all number of problems. Valve recession (new head), fuel filter failure, ECU failure, and suspension bushing failure just off the top of my head. Plus any kind of decent off-road tire rubs on the airbox.

I bought the RX3 in October 2020 and the Leoncino in February 2021. Both have roughly the same mileage (6700 on the RX3, 6500 on the Leoncino). The Leoncino has needed nothing except tires. It's been completely reliable in every way, and loads of fun.

If I can fix the SG400's suspension I'll be a happy man. If not, I'll just sell the bike. I had my adventure in California, and if I lose a grand on the bike I'll still have that trip under my belt.
