Welcome!

My wife and I visited the Coeur d'Alene and Spokane area a few years ago, and we loved it. Beautiful, warm lake in your town.

The blog also reports CSC is "hard at work on a new RX3 rear shock and stiffer front springs."

I've had Seat Concepts seats on many bikes. I currently have one on my Grom. I will be getting one for the RX3.

Welcome, and congratulations on acquiring your new RX3.

I am a University of Idaho alumnus, so I am well familiar with North Idaho. It is beautiful up there.

New issue of Motorcyclist has a one page "Short Shift" review of the RX3. Aside from faulting the relatively weak brakes, the mag concludes that the bike is "surprisingly good," "totally competent," and "incredibly inexpensive."

Now if they had only put the RX3 on the front cover.

Just to be clear ,,,im not wishing for a 1200cc adventure bike,,its just my opinion that a 450cc would be a little more highway friendly ,,as getting on interstate here in PA, at speeds of 70mph,,,has the revs really up there. without adding much weight an a bit more power,,,But ok i will settle for better suspension.

I agree on the brakes, I've need to look into better front brake pads and see if that helps.

If it doesn't exceed 400cc, it will be much cheaper to insure where I live.

Had some financial difficulties recently, but completed my order yesterday. Ryan says he'll build it next week and I'll have my bike 4 days later!

I ordered the the accessory outlets and the 19" front wheel with Shinko 804/805s.

Can't wait. btw, the red ones have more torque

Hi everybody:
Some pics from my trip trough the Andes Ridge in Región de La Araucanía, Chile. This trip is part of Ruta Interlagos (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Interlagos), with 1.920 Km. across three regions. The goal for this trip was test the RX3, to visit this circuit on spring.

Jaume,

Thanks for posting the beautiful photographs. Do you plan to ride the entire, 1,920 km circuit in a few months?
