Comments on the vid…

We’ve had some fun comments on the video I posted yesterday, and I thought I’d share a few of them with you.   Good stuff.  Fun stuff.

 

First, an email from my good buddy Tommy M…

Good commercial, Joe.

Your high school public speaking teacher would be proud… i.e., who, what, where when, and why.

My computer experienced a slight technical problem, there was as blinding glare coming from the area of your head when the sun was in just the right location. 

See you this weekend. 

Tom

 

A blinding glare off my head?

Tom, I spilled my coffee this morning when I read that one!

Here’s one from RTKing on the ADVRider site…

Thanks for the video. (And my first and second color choices, no less!).   Good to see a size comparison with you by the bike.

 

Hey, our pleasure, RT!    The bike is a full size motorcycle, with a much more sensible saddle height and overall riding position than most adventure touring bikes.   I like it.  A lot.

Here’s another one from the ADVRider site, this time from LongHaul747…

Good job on the video. I am just about sold….now I just need to talk the wife into it and find the $. Need to find room in the garage as well!

One question I have is the delivery process for those out of state who can’t visit CSC for delivery. Will these be drop shipped in the same crate they arrive in from China and the customer will have to do his own uncrating and PDI?   Or will CSC uncrate it and set it up making sure everything is okay and then use a dedicated motorcycle shipper for shipping?  I prefer CSC doing the setup and likely in everyone’s best interest. Only thing the customer has to do is give a quick going over and add gas and oil if they can’t ship with those fluids.  Also no crating material to dispose of.   The rest is pretty easy.   Take the Certificate of Origin to the DMV and pay the tax and they will create a registration.

 

LongHaul, we’re explaining the particulars to everyone who calls to get on the list.  There are a lot of options here and we’ll posting those for all to see on the blog in the very near future.

Here’s one from Tiffany posted on our Facebook page…

I cannot WAIT for this machine to arrive at my house!!  I’ve been struggling to move to an adventure bike as the only feasible option for someone my size is the 650gs and it’s still huge for me (trust me I know as I had to try to pick it up from its side in Prudhoe bay).  I truly hope your bike will inspire and empower even more females to ride their own. Thank you thank you thank you for finally addressing the gap in our motorcycle industry!!

 

You and I both, Tiffany.  I can’t wait to get mine, either.

And finally, this one on the YouTube site from WanderAbroad (what a great name for an adventure rider!)…

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Ok, enough with my caps.

I’m a 35 year old U.S. citizen working in China now and I spent months researching every bike I could find. Comparing forums, debates, listening to pros and watching them perform. I could find no other options better than this one (with maint. cost and ease being a huge factor) I got this bike and went bananas!

For anyone wanting more info read past this to the rest of my long post. So here goes. This bike feels like the Mercedes of the off road to me. The passenger seat is FINALLY done correctly vs. other bikes and is not one long sloping seat that pushes the rear rider into the front rider when you hit bumps. The motor has power hands down.

Careful with the throttle. It may be 250cc’s but start releasing to fast and the bike won’t have a problem showing you what its hiding. It’s stable on the freeway and light on the bad roads and boy China has some tough roads to test you on! Other offroad bikes are just – too – doggone – heavy!  Those guys end up doing more fighting with those behemoths than actually enjoying the ride it seems to me. If you want to drop the money you can get (I don’t know about the U.S.) 3 very large sturdy padlocked waterproof stainless steel luggage carriers made for this bike with their own special mounting.

Cost of repairs on this bike like I said before are WAY lower than those giant BMW’s KTM’s etc. The upfront cost is WAY lower than the others. When I return to the U.S. for six week visits I plan to buy another one just for the U.S. This bike is hands down fantastic. I hope you can get a good deal of video of you guys riding this around. I can’t really video myself since I drive alone a lot.

Push this bike guys, it’s the perfect tour bike meets motor cross and had the perfectly balanced baby.

 

WanderAbroad, you said it better than I ever could!

Thanks to all for your inputs!  We’ll have more videos and more information on the RX-3 on the blog in the near future, folks, so like always, stay tuned!    And don’t forget about our open house this weekend!
