OK,

I got in a quick buzz on the 300. his has the steel frame, so I guess it is the '07. it is a beautiful bike! but I would worry about scratching those blue rims...

the ergos are very tight, those italians must be compact people. the bike takes a serious boot to start it, & the motor is very barky--big piston + minimal silencer, I guess.

the bike still needs a little fine tuning at the bottom of the range, it was a little rich, but once it cleans out, it goes! it has a lot of mid & top. it has less bottom & WAY more top than a KTM 300; it has more of a hit than the GG 300. it's fun, but I'm not sure I'd want to hang on to it all day in tight conditions.

I'll post back once he gets it fully sorted out.
