I've read both good and bad things about Orion. I understand both perspectives.

I made the plunge because I wanted something dual sport that leaned towards the dirt side. I valued light weight, a good engine/powertrain, and a reasonable suspension design. My favorite former bike was probably an XR250 that I owned in the early 2000s so that influenced my preferences.

Anyway.... I signed up with my $$$ and I'm on the hook...good or bad for the RXB. I'll happily give my insights as I own and ride my new Chonda.

I thank everyone here for their input. I think this is a great resource for people shopping for a bike. I think China bikes are ultimately going to overcome the Japanese bikes in the next decade and I think the dealership model is going to change. Once I'm riding I'll continue to share here because I think you guys are awesome.

Ride on!
