The 300 does fair in the desert but its forte is certainly the tight and gnarly. I believe that if I bought a bike solely for desert riding it would be a KX500. Lots of rake=stable and more torque than any stock thumper can dream of. However, I had a Husky 360 that worked very well in that type of terrain. What I like about my gasser is that I don't have to sacrifice agility for stability.
