any size difference in 70cc X6 and 110cc RX12?


Does anyone know if there is a size difference between the 70cc X6 and the 110cc RX12?

Here's what my Bro has to say between the X6 and RX-12. Hands down the X6 "outta the box" is better erginomically and offers better riders position.

The RX-12 stands a bit taller and has more of a rake.

I've only ridden the X7 & X6 and have yet seen the RX-12 in person.

tbh, it's all personal preference, so take this fwiw.

I've riden the X2 and X7, i have the RX-12 and i like the fit a lot better, it stands taller and puts you in more of a real street bike position. I think it's easier to lean but the X7 is much lighter and probably corners better or at least its a more agile feel.

I agree with your Bro. The X6 is just erginomically better in the saddle compared to others I have tried although I like the X7 but chassis wise the X6 did it for me. The RX-12 looks like it has a longer wheel base. Best thing
is to just try to find a dealer that stocks them all so you can actually sit on them to make your final choice.

Yeah the RX-12 will ride up on your Nuts! thats the only thing that sucks when you hit a bump or come down on a wheelie and your planted on the seat, your Nuts will get a little bit of the action. But its not too bad once you get use to it, you just gotta pick yourself up off the seat when you come down, but it feels like a real street bike.

I can't say because I haven't rode or owned a X6, but I just put a new linkage on my RX-12 and now it ups and downshifts so easy, feels like it should, i also put a 12 tooth sprocket for better low end, i think those two mods should be how the bike comes stock, total for both was $40 shipped. But it makes all the difference, I was kind of dissapointed w/ my bike but its finally running to its potential and its a blast to ride. Sorry I dont know what an X6 is like, but the RX-12 has real nice fit and finish compared to like an X7, much better quality but it also is a little heavy, but it makes it more solid, good frame, brakes, and just all around pretty good except the stock linkage, and like i said to eliminate slow acceleration and a neverending 4th gear get that sprocket. I pull a strong wheelie going from 2-3rd gear already moving pretty fast too.

I had the chance to put my X6 to the test at a local track and well I can say the X6 performed well. The chassis worked well to keep both wheels on the ground. Still my only gripe is the weak hydraulic braking system. If you come into a corner "HOTT" make sure you use engine braking along with front/rear combo braking and be willing to hang it out there to get around that corner.
There was only one X12 but it was converted to a motard style bike and that thing was pretttty fast I must say but it was a 110cc and I was only on a 70cc.
For track usage I pick the X6 but if you just want raw power for around town jump on the X12.

got an x12 110 and a x7 70. i think the size difference is considerable. can definitly move the x7 around better but the x12 has a cool feel-like mentioned before- more of a real riding position. If I remember right on paper the dimensions are very close but i had already had the x12 and was really surprised at the difference when I recieved the x7
