If Zongshen wants to compete with Japanese and European motorcycle companies, they need to develop "brand recognition".

Having a different name for the RX3 in every country they are sold doesn't serve Zonshen's long term interests.

This is true. Hard to understand the Chinese ways at times. Doesn't seem very marketing savy

All the badges except one pair have been mailed (still witing to hear from Maui Mikey).



The badges have double sided tape on the back.

Once the stock badges are removed, clean the area, remove the film covering on the back of the badges, insert the prongs in the holes in the tank side panel, and press in place.

The Chinese always change symbols due to what they believe brings them luck or fortune for that moment in time. I see this happen with other businesses, small or large.

While I like the Dragon, I probably would prefer the Z logo. The Dragon makes me think of Lamborghini or a video game.

I like both thr dragon and the Zong badges, but prefer a badge that has the manufacturer's name on it.

I have read that Zongshen makes parts for this company.....do the colors and shape look familiar?
