Two times the price of the NC250 and 100 less than what the LD450 single from Asia Wing retails at.
Zongshen has been pretty aggressive placing their motorcycles into existing distributors product lines. The RX3 is being offered everywhere. They can be pretty confident that a 450cc RX4 would be as popular, if not more so.
I wonder if their new RX1 is based on the Derbi Senda, similar.

Piaggio closed the Derbi factory last year. I heard the production moved to Italy. However, a couple of the models are being sold in China under the Aprilia brand.
Zongshen is offering these in Chile...

Back before these latest Zongshen projects they asked me to find them someone who could develop engines with them (not really my job but I thought I'd have a go) and I contacted Motrac who were unwilling to work with Zongshen, in fact the chap I spoke to was a real arrogant prick and I told him to piss off. Maybe things changed, I don't know I haven't spoken to Zongshen since I broke with C2W. I also put Zongshen together with Norton, there were advanced meetings on developing engines and models together but they broke down.
How's everyone? Spring is threatening to break here in Chongqing, the blossom is starting to bloom in the gardens and it's lovely.
It looks like Zongshen has caught up with the craze for small displacement classics.
Their entrance is with a model they call their Infinity.

The bike is currently being offered in Thailand through Zongshen Ryuka

Also their Z II will be offered in the UK through Sinnis as an RXS 125 EFI

In addition the new Sinnis Terrain will be their version of the Zongshen RX1

UM will also be offering models that are sourced out of Zongshen.
Two DSR II Adventure models, one with a Piaggio DOHC 125cc and the other with a 279cc (300) Zongshen engine.

In the US, I think Motrac has just released, or is about to release, their mini 125cc to compete in the ever more crowded mini segment (Grom, Z125). Months ago, they received certification, but had yet to release their bikes, but I have been seeing Motrac ads popping up on unrelated sites probably via cookies. Who do they work with for engines?
Motrac is offering these through their website, they are not really inexpensive, they sell for around at least 3k.
The Kymco K-Pipe is now also in the market and they to me seem better then these, if a person wants a mini.
