A nice note from Bob…

My good buddy Bob wasted no time in letting me know his thoughts on today’s blog…

Hi Joe,

I’m reading your blog posts with earnest.  Glad you liked Singapore (great city, very clean, good food… don’t chew gum), and I see that you’ve made it to Chongqing and the Zongshen factory.

I think CSC might do REALLY well to bring in the electric scooters and the CinEco.  The scooters are a staple around college campuses, and not having to get a motorcycle license is a huge plus.  I would think you’d sell a good many of those!  Heck, even in the urban sprawl, an electric scooter (with a torque peak at zero RPM) would move along with traffic smartly and get most people to the office and back economically and a lot faster than in a cage.

The CinEco seems like a no brainer also.  Bring that and the College Boys (and Gals) that don’t want to be seen on a scooter, can get around campus fine on a Electric Monkey Bike!  I think you’d do extremely well with those… especially with all the colleges/universities around Southern California.

I love the way that RK150 looks, especially the exposed Trellis frame.  Depending on power output, it might be a genuine competitor to the Grom.  Your friend told you, “Does the world need another Grom?”  Well, Kawasaki seemed to think so when they brought out the Z125.  If the RK150 has more horsepower than the Grom or the Z125, and it’s priced lower, I think you would have a winner there.  Plus the 150cc would allow the RK150 to be freeway legal… something the Grom and Z125 can’t claim to do.

Hope the trip goes well, and like Dan, I would love to hear about the parallel twin 400 or the RX450 when you can talk about it.

Now… back to cleaning my (new to me) Sino-Soviet “Ghost” SKS.

Bob

Thanks for your inputs, Bob.   All great food for thought.   We really do appreciate hearing what our customers think.  And hey, with that SKS, you’ll have to join us for one of our monthly milsurp get-togethers.
