I agree with most of that. The problem is that to be better they would have to invest in more R&D, Quality Control, materials, a dealer and distribution network, Lawyers....
You know what happens next. The scooters aren't cheap any more. 40 years ago Japanese bikes were the cheapest on the planet. I bought my KZ1000st shafty for $3300. At the time a Harley Low Rider was $4900, now $14,199. A comparable bike would be the Concours 1400 at $15,500. Even a Z1000 is $12,000.
Your RX3 is a great bike, but...
Our Price: $3,495.00
California Residents: Add Tax and License
Documentation: $35.00
Assembly: $195.00
$3725
Isn't a SYM 250i $3799 and a Honda CB300F $3999?
OK, you have to add the tax, title and tips to those other bikes but you get the point. The RX3 is a step up but in the world of bikes it isn't cheap anymore. That will be what happens to all Chinese scooters if they suddenly got World Class.
I personally would rather exercise my Kobalts for less MSRP.
