Zongshen CSC RX3 Cyclone REVIEW - BRUTALLY HONEST

The Zongshen CSC RX3 Cyclone is marketed to the ADV world as a light weight adventure tourer/ dual sport, but should it be? I rode the RX3 Cyclone 1000 miles through 3 states to find out. I was easier on the Zongshen RX3 than my other dual sport motorcycles, but still pushed it to its limit both on and off road. See the good, the bad, and the ugly in this brutally honest review!
