Cheers OB1.

I think this is the bike for me ! I have never liked the idea of being the same as everyone else and i have the feeling this is a well made bike. Also i really don't want another 'big' bike, having downsized from a 1500cc to an old CB250 Honda i'm quite happy with the 250 size.I have seen one of these Zongshen RX3s up close and the quality of manufacture looks as good as a lot of the stuff from the big 4.
Got to sell the VanVan and my recumbent bicycle then i'm going to have a good long test ride.
First though i have to get over my touring holiday in Ireland on a C90

The Honley didn't get the best review in this issue of the ABR mag. It maybe cheap to buy but it also seems cheap in its quality to match.....

Anyone know where i can see a copy of this on line please?

In summary, it didn't get a great review because it only went 10 miles before conking out. The plan is to get back on the bike now they've made some revisions and give it a fuller test next issue, all being well.

[stevewatkin]

Well, they (the Honley people) didn't get back to me when they said they would so i emailed them to arrange a test ride..............nothing !!

So i went out and got a CB500 Saved myself £2800 (thumbs)

How much did you get the CB500 for in the end Steve? They're a lot of bike for the money to start with.

Hi all,
If anyone wants to take a close look at one near Wisbech we will have stock from Friday 22/08/2014.

Don't know if the link will work, but I run F2 Motorcycles Ltd and they are on the motorcycle page. Slightly lower price than in MCN. £3195 O.T.R.

Link didn't work, but it's on my profile page.
Please don't jump to the conclusion I'm trying to sell through the forum.
I'm just saying we will be getting them soon, if you want to have a look.
Thanks
David
