It always cracks me up though when they "compare" two vastly different bikes. "In this months edition, we have a shoot-out between the Suzuki DR200 vs the Kawasaki KLR 650!"

I don't see anything wrong with the article nor do I see the bikes as "vastly different, simply different breeds of the same species, kind of like evaluating whether an Arabian or a Clydesdale is more suited for a particular equine task.

Production statistic.
Finally there is a production number given, whether intentional or leaked.
About 20,000 RX3's alone. http://californiascooterco.com/blog/?p=25806 It's in the text beside the stunning gas pump attendant.

We'll see if Joe has enough latent muscle memory to smoothly work the foot controls on Steve's bike this week.

My second sentence was simply to state that in many magazines and reviews today (which I should have noted), I see them "comparing" or shoot out vastly different bikes these days, as opposed to when I was a kid. My apologies for any misunderstanding. Being critical of the article was the furthest thing from my mind. Nice pics Joe, thank you for sharing.

CSC Joe takes such good photos that I'm sure that fuel station would be honored to use that pic in an ad.

That was a very fair review of the RX3. It won't change the mind and hearts of the haters....but then again who cares. I love my RX3 and don't need their agreement.
