I added the ride reviews from ADV Pulse and ADV Moto magazines to the Zongshen RX3 sticky, located at the top of this Dual Sport Forum.
http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14228 The links to the ride reviews are located under the Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Ride Reviews subheading. ![]()

![]() ![]() I agree with you; the Zongshen RX3 is well designed in every aspect to be the ideal, minimalist touring machine. In addition to all the other features you mentioned, the RX3 has a strong, modern frame designed to carry heavy loads. The only hardware I plan to add to my RX3 are heated grips, and a pair of handguards. ![]()

Yes the XT250 does have a 5-speed, but the gears are spaced so that it isn't a real issue on it, for what it is. And all I plan to add is a center stand and some handguards, and my butt in the seat ![]()

I thought about converting my TW to a six speed, but it only creates a close-ratio transmission; the top gear is the same in a TW200 as a TT-R230. You'd still be looking for a higher top gear that isn't there.

Is first gear also the same? Can you post a link showing the gear ratios for the two transmissions?

The CSC Blog mentioned a thread at the Roam Africa Forum concerning the Zongshen RX3 arriving in North America. I went searching, and here is a link to that thread.
