Regarding the power outlet installation, CSC says you don't have to remove the windshield. I installed the cigarette lighter outlet with the windshield installed, then removed the windshield for the installation of the USB outlet. I suggest you do yourself a favor, and remove the windshield before you start this project. In my opinion, you will use far less time, and suffer far less frustration, if you remove the windshield first.

Couldn't agree more. This is where an extra 3 minutes of dis-assembly will save 15 minutes in frustration.

If the Cyclone takes off, maybe Honda will see the light. The price premium for that extra 150cc will be pretty stiff, though.

There's no doubt about that. In addition, the Honda bike won't have all the standard features of the Zongshen RX3.

I think the Shineray X5 has similar problems with quality control, Pete. Isn't the XRE 400 Falcon manufactured in Brazil?

I had a 05 XR250 Tornado was also made in Brazil... dam nice bike should have kept it... they use the DOHC/air cooled / six speed CBR250 motor so very nice to ride on the road.. Honda turned it into the XRE300 with the CBR300 air cooled motor... any way.... watching to see how the RX3 goes.... Maybe a future investment.... Tornado .

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,
