I was hoping other members could take the time and view the new DL250 V-Storm, to post there finding and views.

One question arises: which bike look like better offer - this "Stromello" or "Zong" RX3?

"IF" I was going to buy 1 then I would go for the DL250 just to get the sweet engine and ABS?.

yes, that is a shame.

I'd really would like to see something like JH600 with newer outlook and, probably, with engine like Loncin/BMW 650cc single cylinder... And with weight not more than 180-190 kg...

Yes, that would be nice but all the R&D with say the Loncin 650cc all comes at a cost.
And therefore makes the bike more costly?.

A touring bike is new to me, I have had my Benelli 250 street for 2 years clocked 26,000 km and can be easily convert to touring purpose... The problem is limited choice for most people, and the knowledge about motorcycle overall.
18 kw is not enough, and side bag added drag, it is low maintains JV product, but it is not good enough and low value.

The best ride report I have seen was something like "From Sydney to London with a moped named Dorothy" :)

I suppose the biggest issue is not that it is manufactured in China but rather that it was designed (shudder....) in China. Anyway I am still rooting for it as a life long Suzuki fan
