Sooooooo, this is it?

Have a look at Zongshen's home page. The RX4 is going to be badass.

Website is not coming up for Chrome or opera.

If you got the pic for the rx4 prototype, get it posted up here!

One of the China-based members of 'Mychinamoto.com' went to the motorcycle show in China and took a photo of the prototype RX5 (that's what he reported the salesman told him the name was). English is not his first language, btw, as he is from one of the European countries (can't remember which one), originally...

Maybe you could post some of those pics?

Here's what I got from the post from early this year

I forgot--if one is not a member, one cannot see the photos. It is not very exciting, but here is his photo:
(the other photos are graphs he got showing the power of the Zongshen 450 engine from alibaba--in other words, specs from a vendor selling the engines which are presumed to be in this bike, but maybe not; you are not missing anything as far as specs go)

Thanks Calcune.

To my eye, that looks like an RX3. The exhaust on the RX4 exits at an angle (instead of directly forward) and the photos of the other prototype bikes that Blackbike posted show the RX4 exhaust routing under and behind the oil pan before swooping up to the muffler. But that's just my guess.

Looks like the same shaped goody-crushing seat.

Culc.. so this is the pic? Is this the 450cc lump? I know it's a rx3 chassis and I am good with that . Would much prefer the exhaust routing of it vs the prototype pic of the "rx4 pic". The rx3 chassis is the bee's knees, awesome! Just waiting for that extra hp hit - then the trigger will be pulled (assuming Chinese trade will continue)

exciting but keeping it together for another year or so. () I feel like cartman waiting for the Okama Gamesphere
