In the past I've owned a couple of KLR 650's and wanted to get a smaller dual-sport that was more in keeping with my diminished capacity as an old age pensioner. So, at the recent bike show here in Phoenix, I took a liking to the Zongshen RX-3, distributed by CSC out of SoCal. The bike is a 250cc with a 6-speed box, fuel injection and a host of standard features including bags for under $3,500. I've heard all the horror stories about Chinese bikes (so don't repeat them), but this bike seems to have a better pedigree. My bike will be on the ship in the next couple of weeks with delivery by the end of February. There's a lot of info on these bikes on the 'net, if you're interested.
