Folks, the response to the RX-3 has been just incredible. The “Don’t Miss The Boat” program is nearing completion, and while I can’t tell you how many motorcycles we’ve taken reservations on, I can tell you we stopped counting motorcycles and we’re now counting shipping containers (and there are lots of motorcycles in a shipping container).
The bottom line to the above is that we’re holding the “Don’t Miss The Boat” open through the Open House this weekend. We’ll be here from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and I hope to see you there, too.
One more thing, folks: The number of inquiries we’ve been receiving on the Cyclone are over the top….from folks who want to get on the $2895 list, from the news media, and from you. Some of the inquiries are extremely technical questions (e.g., yesterday I had a guy ask me the engine temperature in the mountains when the bike was going uphill). Quite frankly, we don’t have all the answers to all of the technical questions yet. By all means, please keep your questions coming. If we have the answer, we’ll provide it. If you don’t hear from us immediately, it means we’re either researching the topic or contacting Zongshen for the answer.
We’re doing our best to provide information on this bike as we develop it and as it becomes available. We just recently posted the approach for taking delivery of the bike. We’ll have more blog posts in the near future on our decision not to use dealers initially, the maintenance approach, the warranty, and more. We’re following an unconventional path to market with the Cyclone, and we’re doing that to maximize value to you. Stay tuned, because there’s lots more information coming.
Along this same line of thought, there are at least a dozen Internet forums with threads on the CSC Cyclone now (most of them popped up in the last two weeks). In fact, Randy Prade and crew just recently started the www.RX3forums.com site, and it looks like it’s going to be a winner. We do our best to keep up with the forums and when we can, we’ll answer the questions posted on those forums (but we can’t do that in every instance for every question). The best place to come for answers is straight to the source, and that’s here. Shoot your questions to us, and we’ll provide answers as best we can.
