Tony,
The RX3 fit in the back of your truck nicely; you even got the tailgate up. The blue bike looks very nice. The red and white bikes look nice, also. If orange weren't the fastest color, I would have had a very hard time reaching a decision regarding color.

I was merely referring to the 'successor' as the latest model manufactured by Zongshen.

Adios to the 'speed' decal and warning sticker. You bike looks very good, Tony.

With the SPEEDstickers off, it will be even faster!

Every ounce counts. Ounces add up to pounds.

I was able to pick up my RX-3 on Thursday and it was duly recorded on the CSC blog. I spent part of today putting it together and removing some of the stickers. With care, they peeled off mostly in one piece and I didn't need any Goo-Gone for residual glue. I'm in two minds whether to put the bags and guards on and will review that decision after break-in. I believe that the weight savings will make a considerable difference to the bike's handling. I did remove the passenger pegs and reinserted the screws to add a little bling to a dark spot.
I've started the break-in process and will change the oil several times before the 1,500 mile point, where I will start with synthetic oil. Initial impressions confirm what others have said, that it is a well built and well finished bike. I would suggest that the new owner inspects and torques every nut and bolt, just to be sure.
