    Hello, everyone. I'm Joe from CSC. I write the CSC blog, I ride an RX3, and I generally lead the CSC adventure rides. Please let me know if I can help you with anything related to CSC or the RX3 motorcycle.

    The RX3 weighs 386 lbs with bags, engine guards, and all other accessories. If you remove the rear footpegs, the luggage, and the guards, the weight drops 47 lbs.

    Right, 175 kg with crash bars and luggage, 153kg with those removed.

    My old BMW F650GS was 384lbs before the crash guards and panniers and trunk (Not to mention gear!) was added to it. So far I'm loving my RX-3. Much lighter and easier to maneuver on trails.

    Cheers,

    I have come across quite a few of these riding around China. The highest was 33,000km belonging to an older Chinese couple. They never seem to have any troubles with them, and they are loaded up to the max.

    @ Joe do you have any plans to get the 300cc version?
