CSC RZ3
Among motorcycle brands, CSC is hardly a familiar
name. But its founders are industry vets in the Harley aftermarket parts
business, and owners of the California Scooter Company, which produced the
modern version of the Mustang scooter. Last year they debuted the RX3
adventure-touring model, and earlier this year came the RC3 and TT250. Now it's
the RZ3, a nudie version of the faired RC. All models are built to CSC specs by
Zongshen in China.
The four models share a 250 cc OHC, 4-valve, liquid-cooled,
counterbalanced single with a 6-speed transmission. The purchase of any CSC motorcycle includes
extensive online maintenance tutorials, a shop manual, and customer support.
CSC offers a complete parts inventory and accessory line for each of its
motorcycles, and a two-year, unlimited mileage warranty.
The Azusa, California, company is accepting
pre-order deposits on the RZ3, and offering free setup and shipping within the
continental United States. The RZ3 price is US$ 3,495, and the motorcycle will be
available prior to the end of the year.
