Rumor has it that the Zongshen RX3 will be available for sale in Canada next year. See post #89 in the following thread.

I read the post, but the writer doesn't specify whom he spoke with.

I called them up earlier today and they said it is going through Canadian approval stuff very soon... so could be all done in the new year !

The Transport Canada process is a big deal, so it'll be quite an achievement for Zongshen. It makes perfect sense that their products should be sold in Canada, since they're located in Vancouver.

That's why I said it was a rumor. I don't know if the rumor is true, or any of the other details regarding the rumor. Of course, one could call Zongshen PEM in Vancouver, or CSC Motorcycles in Azusa for more details.

Does anyone recall if CSC is going to rebrand the RX3 or will it be badged as Zongshen? If Zongshens plan is a global market, controlling the brand is critical to success. Good to see the spread into Canada. I presume CSC is the importer.

I remember reading somewhere that CSC does not plan to rebadge the motorcycle. I think this is a good decision.

I don't know if the rumor is true. If true, I don't know whether Zongshen PEM, or CSC Motorcycles plans to introduce the bike to Canada.

I have two, but one is a quad and the other is a Hondoid. I'd love something a little higher on the food chain.

This new bike, the RX3, has the potential to give Zongshen a huge boost in opening up new markets. It's such a good package of features. Of course, in the US, some are saying the displacement is too small. As an old timer that started riding at eight years off road, I find that a 250 like this might be about the perfect bike for me. We don't ride two up any more, since my wife took up riding scooters years ago. I live on the big island of Hawaii, where there are no freeways, and the main highways are posted 50-55 mph. We have lots of dirt and gravel roads here to ride.
But, I would be concerned, should I get one, about the lack of dealers. What would I do with any warranty issues? We have an independant motorcycle repair shop in Hilo. They have a policy of not working on Chinese built bikes.
So, I'd be on my own.

Indeed, the lack of a dealer network presents a challenge for the owner of any Chinese motorcycle. However, CSC has addressed these issues better than most importers of Chinese bikes. Search the CSC Blog, or this thread, for the specifics regarding the 2-year warranty provided by CSC. CSCDude might also reply to your concerns.

It is interesting to note that Zongshen Mexico seems to have disappeared in the same manner as Zongshen America. Therefore, the door is open for someone to distribute the Zongshen bikes in Mexico as well.
