Even BMW are getting in on the 300cc road market....
An ADV bike spin off with this motor would be nice... http://www.webbikeworld.com/BMW-moto...-r/preview.htm ..

The RC-3 exhaust on the CSC site looks like a cool aftermarket item. Factory exhausts on small sportbikes are usually cheesy stamped, heavy items.

Here's a video of when the RC3 was unboxed and setup. The sound on the video does the sound "in person" no justice. [youtube]dqn2yoD-Rlw[/youtube] |

I'm not sure what Zongshen did to the NC250 engine to get it to sound like that, but it sure sounds good! My Akra exhaust on my RX3 sounds good, but not as even toned as the RC3's exhaust. I'm guessing the header pipe may be shorter and tuned for higher end power than the longer-length RX3 header and mid-pipe combo.
I can't wait for the first shipment to arrive. I'm looking forward to the ride reviews and comparison tests. |

At an introductory price of $2,895, plus a $300 shipping fee, and a $35 document fee, the Zongshen RC3 is competitively priced with the other bikes in this category. In fact, the RC3 is selling for about $1,200 less than the Honda CBR300R.

Intro price is good, it's going to need good components to compete at full price. If they raise it to 3300-3500+300 shipping and a doc or crating fee your right on top of prices for the cbr300 and ninja 300. It's easy to find them well under Msrp.
This ones in a much more competitive field than the RX3. |

I agree with you on all points, Lee.

Specifications for the RC3 bike were posted at the CSC Blog.
http://californiascooterco.com/blog/?p=20492 The RC3 has a lot of nice features, and the price is pretty competitive when you consider the bike has ABS braking as a standard feature.

Maybe with signals and brake lights, so they can be used in areas that allow quads on the street.
