Review
The 2017 California Scooter RZ 3 offers a compact and accessible package for riders seeking an entry-level motorcycle. Its 249.6cc engine delivers 22.5 Nm of torque at 7000 RPM, providing enough power for city riding and short trips. The five-speed gearbox is smooth and easy to use, making it ideal for newer riders. With a weight of 165.1 kg (364.0 pounds), the RZ 3 is relatively lightweight and easy to handle. The RZ 3 features inverted front forks, offering improved handling and stability compared to traditional telescopic forks. The single front disc brake provides adequate stopping power for its intended use. The seat height of 787 mm (31.0 inches) makes it accessible to a wide range of riders, enhancing confidence and control. The 19.98-liter fuel tank ensures a decent range for longer rides. Designed for riders who prioritize affordability and ease of use, the RZ 3 is a great option for those just starting out or looking for a simple and reliable motorcycle. Its compact size and manageable power make it perfect for navigating city streets and learning the ropes of motorcycling. It's a practical and budget-friendly choice for daily commuting and recreational riding.
