My 2006 300 that was just stolen was a DE. In addition to what was posted, I would like to add:
The DE came with the MC frame (no steering head lock) and MC "Gold Series" Ohlins rear shock.
The "ignition map switchable" ignition came in during the middle of the 2005 year run, and came stock on the 2006 year model.
BTW, I still have paper parts books for the TM engined 1994 -1996 year models.
Don Knight formed South Eastern Gas Gas in 1997, later changed the name to Gas Gas North America, and was importing the '97 EC250 models. When we started Smackover Motor Sports in November of 1997, our first two bikes were the '97 EC250.
The only diference between the '97 & '98 EC250 was graphics, and the engine was carried 10mm lower in the frame on the '98 model, which made it easier to keep the front wheel on the ground.
Good Riding and History Lessons to You!
