Well if you're quicker it can't be a big problem can it?

Yeah I miss being able to overtake on braking - struggle to get alongside on the 200. But what I lose early on I gain in enjoyment by not being so cream crackered towards the end. Not sure if my results have improved on the 200, think they have. I am certainly finishing races where many are DNFing due to tough conditions and I suspect I would too on the 300 - there were events I was so tired I just wanted to cry each time I nudged the gas accidentally. I did lose out at Canada Heights because the 200 was slow on the MX bits. Makes you cry to overtake in the woods, pull away and they guy overtakes you on a straight while you have it pinned in every gear! But for the SEEC series most events are very tight woods so the 200 I find better overall.
