Honley (Zhongshen) RX3

[NZBrakelathes]

Hi All

Oh well, after 5 years, the Skyteam has gone, to a very happy new owner, to be replaced as my manky weather bike by this Zhongshen RX3 (Otherwise known as the Honley Venturer). First off, why has the skyteam gone, my last 125, well, I was keeping it going for 2 reasons, brother in law only has a CBT, and since failing his mod 1 twice, has become disheartened, so, has decided not to renew his cbt. Secondly, I was using the skyteam when the weather was bad, which is was great for, however, it was just too slow to use on the motorway, so, more than doubling my travel to work time :-) So, with no need for a 125 for the brother in law, I decided to get a 250, I nearly got one of these a little over a year ago, but ended up with the Mash.

This one, although I'm the first registered keeper, is not new, as it has been used by a dealership in Glasgow as a demo bike, and it does show, it was quite mucky, and had some damage, such as one of the crash bar welds broken, one of the skid plate mounts snapped, front brake lever scuffed, and some scratched on the crash bar. Anyhow, crash bar weld, and skid plate mounting fixed with some spot welding, the scratches & scuffs tidied with a touch of hammerite satin black, and then just a generally good clean.

The good news is, the bike runs well, and will enable me to use the motorway in the bad weather :-)

Anyhow, here's a couple of pics :-

Hi what manuals CDs or info did you get with the bike? Or do you have?
I live in China and info is poor and scares
Do you happen to have the cd that the American importer makes? With videos etc?
I've got the factory user manual but pretty useless in common stuff and no engine parts diagrams
Willing to share?

Great news Tacho . Now get to cracking into the jh600.

Btw for the roxie fans in a recent scientifically controlled comparison test held on the back roads of Sichuan.

80km/h top gear roll on :

RX3
jh600
x5

All loaded for travel but it must be said the rx3 pilot could make a living as a jockey . F=MxV there is just no escaping it.

Jh 600 won the drag race from standing start mostly because I could see the other roads lights.

Fuel consumption still to be determined but definitely suffers when using the business end of the rev range. No surprise there then.

The indeterminable thing which must be determined asap is the big question.

Which bike is the biggest chick magnet?

Stay tuned.
