What Color CSC Zongshen RX3 Do You Prefer?

Based upon the suggestion of one of our new forum members (RTKing), I have decided to create this poll. The Zongshen RX3 being imported by CSC Motorcycles is available in four colors.

1) Orange



2) Blue



3) Red



4) White



What color do you prefer? If you ordered a bike, what color did you order? If you really can't make up your mind, you are allowed to choose several colors. After you vote, you can view the poll results. If you click on the number of votes for any color, you can see who voted for that particular color.

After you vote, please feel free to comment why you selected a particular color.

I already own a Zongshen ZS200GY-2, and it is orange. I think the RX3 looks great in all these colors. However, I already own two red motorcycles (Hondas), and I like the visibility of bright motorcycles, so I decided to stick with 'Zongshen Orange.'

I picked blue

Blue because it was easier to convince the wife that I wouldn't get up to hooliganism like I would on the scientifically faster orange one

Your logic is impeccable.

Conventional wisdom on other sites such as ADV, always make the point the orange bikes are the fastest, coolest, and of course the most cachet on the road. It was a no brainer, ORANGE!!!!

I have to admit that I almost ordered blue. It is just stunning in person. But just about everything I have had lately (car, motorcycle, scooter) has been blue, so I decided to mix it up a little and go orange. Besides, Orange is a higher visibility color and, as already stated, is faster.

I like the the Red color, but I think all Zongs should be Orange. So I voted for both.

The red and blue versions are really sharp, I'd never buy white and I love the Zong orange. I voted orange, naturally.

Egads! Orange is crushing the competition. We could call it Orange Crush.

I agree with Allen. I seemed to have reached the conclusion that Zongs should be orange.

To my eyes the orange looks more like a yellow. Maybe it's just the way the photos were taken.

I went with white. Partially because I think people notice white bikes more since they assume its a police bike. The other reason is because I wanted a neutral color and they didn't have silver or black.

The blue bike is really stunning though, even my wife liked that one!

Everyone says all the bikes look better in person than even the photographs reveal. I agree, a white bike is very visible, and will get more respect from other motorists, since it looks like a police bike. A white helmet is also effective in this regard.

The bikes do look great in every color. The Zongshen designers did a great job with how it looks. I imagine all of us new owners will be fielding a lot of questions about them wherever we go.

Almost everyone who sees my orange Zongshen 200GY-2 thinks it is a KTM. Now, I'm sure they will think my orange RX3 is either a KTM, or an orange BMW.
