Why bother? The only thing you need to learn from one of those is "I shouldn't have bought chinese rubbish".
You'll find out the hard way. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles. In summery, mattsprattuk is a gobby little sh1tebag, dopehead tw4t, but sadly for all of us, he probably isn't THAT full of sh1te!!

I had 3 and my current bike is decent, I live in China and I repair upgrade stuff and sell as well (Hope that's Ok).
I have the big bore kit on my engine (283 real cc), I have a 320mm front rotor and 4 piston caliper as well as a few other minor newer version parts.
Decent bike but I wonder if you in the UK got the early versions which had more issues? Anyway if parts and help is needed please contact me.

Mind you I have yet to fit a new stepper motor that I got in to see if I can remove the surge/bogging just of idle and popping from decel
I suspect it to be a slow acting stepper motor.
Also I have another water over flow tank, 2 versions I will test them out.
Is it cool I post here my findings and products? Is there a specific place or set of rules on that? sorry i am new here :S
are there many guys who ride the RX3 in the UK etc? |
Hi I had an RX-3, which I used mainly in crap weather, I enjoyed riding it, and it was quick enough for the motorway.. I don't work over in Leicester so often anymore, as I mainly work from home, especially in crap weather, so, I've donated it to my stepson, who now uses it as his crap weather bike, as his commute has increased !!
Cracking little bike, just poorly supported by Honley, parts are very easy to get though if needed. Looking forward to seeing what Zongshen's electric offering wil be like ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Total UK motorcycle sales in 2017, were less than 100,000.
In the UK motorcycle trade associations top ten brands, those you mention didn't appear..... go figure.....
I Dont really think that the three hundred or so UK owners of Honilee and whatever it is, REALLY offer much chance to make your company rich.....

IF you want to report some less commercial but interesting project, you may try the "Show & Tell" board, but be warned, that is also not very spam-tolerant; but if you are doing something inspirational to other DIYers, it would likely be apreciated.

Surprised at your reaction, Teff, as you seem to embrace with open arms that which is unreliable, under powered, under braked and replete with the dodgiest of electrics.
Chinese stuff is what it is, generally motorcycle shaped and does what a motorcycle generally does. They are built to a price and bought by the totally inexperienced, usually impecunious yoof who proceed to ride them well beyond their, admittedly, poor performance envelope.
But!!! Given a level of maintenance and strategic replacement of certain parts, they do a very adequate job. My bread and butter is keeping said yoof mobile enough to get to their zero hours, minimum wage jobs.
Parts are, to a large extent, interchangeable or adaptable. E Bay has had everything I have ever needed to keep these things road worthy at laughably low prices. Minimum tools needed, you can have one in its component pieces within an hour or so. Sniff all you like, these are no worse than the Bantams, James, Franny Barnets of my yoof, probably far more reliable than the Tiger Cubs, C15's too. Just because you are living in a comfortable middle / late age, don't disparage those living hand to mouth whose only form of transport is a Chinky 125. ____________________ The CBR900RR has been sold. Aprilia Falco worms its way into my heart.
Try Soi 23 on Amazon for a good read.... Self promotion? Moi? |

Eh? What Old'Onda's?
Like Children & Animals mate, they can always spot a mug, I think.
I never set out to buy a single one of them, (Set out I think to buy a Yamaha, most often!) but every one just seemed to follow me home like a stray dog!
Even the Montesa!.. which is only bike I own that aint an old-onda, but just so it didn't feel left out, Honda bought the effin company!! Jeez, even the dang Lawn-Mower's an accidental ruddy 'Onda!
Reaction was more the fact that LatheBraker there, was spamming to an audience, pretty much solely of Peperami!
In the MCI Top-Ten brands; The Japanese Big 4, have about 60% UK Market share between them. (Honda alone about 1/4 of it!) BMW/Triumph/KTM/Piagio, plus Hardley, Share about as much as Honda has on their own... and the only Chinese 'Brand' to make the list is Lexmoto.... with barely 5% of the pie, and all sales in the the sub 125cc sector that alone accounts for approx half of all UK registrations... it don't leave a lot of room for a more obscure, over 125cc Chinky brand!!!
Not sure that the Business model's so well planned... lets pick the most obscure, smallest volume motorcycle made, that sells pretty much on low-price to folk that don't want to spend more money than they can get away with... and try flog them accessories for it! He'd probably have more chance selling heated rear windscreen elements and fluffy dice to Reliant Robin owners! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

You do realise the RX3 is a 250?? [/quote]
No.. does that matter?[/quote]
It does.
We’ve had this debate before about the quality of Chinese bikes.
And again I’ll say the quality of my Chinese bike has given me only a small amount of problems that were easily rectified.
It’s the manufacturers lack of support that is the issue.
I remember many problems with my old Suzuki (Japanese) GT 250’s
The difference was that Suzuki had a dealer network and spares set up and that made living with a GT 250 ok. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |
