Found an unknown brand bike on alibaba!

I was searching Alibaba for bikes and came across a BMW gs clone. Wanted to see if anyone else has seen this bike before and knows anything about them.

Look for CSC RX3 motorcycles, probably the closest you'll find in the US.

Yeah, that appears to be a rebadged ZongShen RX3 ,we have a section for them ,also a lot of good videos about them on YouTube ,some people love them, some hate on them, but the fact is they have been ridden to and in some of the most hostile places around,notably all over Mongolia and the Steppes. There is something to be said for anvil simple engines and bikes when you get off the beaten path ,where locals still use a lot of livestock for transportation . One of the regulars who posts about the RX3 has done crazy terrain in Pakistan /himalayas .

Similar, but NOT an RX3, different engine, different headlight and plastics up front.....

Yea it looks similar but definitely not the same. Wish I knew more about the manufacturer. It's a sweet deal for a adv.

The proverbial bubble to burst is EPA/DOT; several years ago, it WAS possible to order a bike as a sample, but you had to pay for shipping on a single unit as opposed to the cost effectiveness of ordering at minimum a small container load, so even though one COULD do it, no one could get through the cost, and I don't recall anyone ordering one bike.

But, the US closed the loophole anyway, so unless the bike has a EPA certificate for off-road at a minimum, EPA/DOT certificate for 'on highway use' these one bike temptations will be just that--a temptation.
