New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

[jezzrite]

Hi guys.

Are the total weights of the Tourfella luggage set (top and side cases, with mountings) comparable to Givi Trekker Outback (Top 42L, side 37L, with mountings)?

Scouring now for some aluminium hard luggage options. Givi is one of the cheaper options.

My full year full coverage is about $65 a year. Same coverage I have on all my bikes. Took about 5 minutes to get coverage with cards through my American Family agent.

For reference my Ducati runs $135/ year.

Full wet weight of bare motorcycle 363lbs.

USA equipped crash bars, mounts, and luggage 45lbs

CSC made leave on center stand 4.5lbs

6 LED lights pair 4.0lbs

Hmmmm. I should look into American Family. Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing. You would think it just rolled off the lot.

Dang it. I did not receive a tracking number

[dieselrider]

that's a bummer...doesn't look like they come with SS braided brake lines anymore. That might account for the so, so brakes people have reported. I know on my KLR the SS lines made a massive difference. I'll report more when my bike comes in on Monday.

Good Heavens! I'll pay nearly that for three months where I live!

To some, that's a synonym for replacement. You had my blood pressure up.

This might be enough reason to actually join Facebook.

That, and my favourite local craft brewery.

Beautiful machine, and lovely property. I don't see a weed or a speck of dirt anywhere.

The drive back was fine, just the usual hyperagressive Californians heading to Vegas for the weekend. I went straight to the DMV and got the VIN check out of the way. We have to do that when we buy a bike from out of state. I'll go back in the morning and get it registered and go for a ride after.

Thanks to everyone at CSC for a pleasant experience.

Tony (and everyone else):

Just flying back from Canada this morning. Send your photos to me (jberk@cscmotorcycles.com) and I can pretty much guarantee that they'll make the cut for the blog.

Thank you. We just finished a couple of days of 50mph winds. There is dirt everywhere! As for weeds. There is not much yard left. It's all concrete, much to the consternation of my girlfriend. Fortunately, I did all this before we met, so she can't give me crap about it.

Thank you posting the information, Jim. I appreciate very much your contributions to these forums.

Please know I am not trying to be impolite, but I must ask. Do you have these items in your possession, and have you actually weighed them, or are you quoting another source?

I can assure you, I will be keeping my Zongshen ZS200GY-2. It's a great little motorcycle, and I have a mileage record to pursue. The Zong's odometer is quickly closing in on 69,000 miles.

In regards to my use of the term 'successor,' please check my very first post in this thread.
