any help would be appreciated,
thanks.
I don't think going to a 300 would make much difference on the fire roads. The 300 doesn't produce any more power it just has more torque lower down. If you want something that blitzes the fireroads I think you need a big thumper. Maybe the 300 would work for you if you raised the gearing? But I still think for high speed work 4 strokes are better.
