Hola Alles, wanted to share the ADVMoto links to the new California Scooter Company (CSC) RX-3 Cyclone.

For those who haven't heard of it, this is a Zongshen produced, fuel injected 250 which targets the budget adventure touring market in the US and (possibly soon) Canada. Despite many North Americans having a rocky experience with C-Motos in the past, this new model has gotten a good amount of support from the ADV community.

CSC is really putting themselves out there on the RX-3 so I hope both the customers and makers do our fair best to support this model development for generations to come. For Chinese bikes to be taken "seriously" in North America, getting over the "disposable" status stigma will only happen over considerable amounts of time. Until then, we feel CSC is off to a good start and begs a fair question: Where are bikes like this from other manufacturers? CSC is paying attention to peoples comments and will likely find this thread.

We've spent some time working with them over the past months and our Senior Editor, Paul Smith, just got back from a test ride with some thoughtful comments on the RX-3. Check out the article and let us know what you think.

Will the RX-3 be the mold-breaking bike?
