I feel the same way, although it would be ridiculously priced in Canada.

Hondas are ridiculously priced in the U. S. of A., which is why I didn't but a 700. They are limited ground clearance and suspension travel, with a very low center of gravity, and lots of good attributes for adventuring, but they cost too much once the farkles that come with a Cyclone are added,

That is very well stated.

Hopefully, Honda will take note of the RX-3 and make some adjustments. Competition is good for everybody.

Indeed. Perhaps the sleeping giant can be awakened.
