Well that was an interesting read, kept me from doing my work.
I'll share my experience with owning the RX3 from CSC. Bought last year ,9700 miles on it. I am not affiliated with them other then I bought one of their bikes.
What I'm disgruntled about is their 2 year warrantee. It's half over and I haven't been able to use it yet . Except for a leaky fork seal when new caused by a wayward inspection sticker that made it's way under the seal. CSC paid my local mechanic to replace it. Done deal.
This bike has taken me up and down the Columbia River Gorge multiple times ,through Hell's Canyon multiple times on fun camping trips and ADV rallies.
I did an Iron Butt 1000 with it and a bunch of big bagger type bikes. I couldn't keep up with them on the 80 mph freeways in Idaho but was only maybe 20-30 minutes behind them when we completed the run with no mechanical problems at all . I had the throttle twisted as far as it would go for hours on end between fill ups on I84 through Idaho and I thought surely this would get me some warrantee issues. Sigh .
So end of this month I hope to ride up into Canada for the Horizons Unlimited ADV rally. End of next month I hope to ride to Yosemite for the Horizons Unlimited Rally down there. Maybe I'll finally get to use some of my warrantee on foreign soil????
I hear what all of you are saying on both sides and see your points. At this point if I gave this bike away ,I would feel like it owed me a nothing as it's done everything I've asked of it with out any problems.
It's been a fun bike for me and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't take me any where I want to go. Just feel I'm not getting my moneys worth warranty wise.
Oh well, worse things have happened
