Most of my riding buddies own Jap 450s. They are very good, but I like my 300 better than any of them. The reverse is a definate plus! My friend's new Kawasaki 450 has reverse, but it's squirrely compared to the Gas Gas. We ride woods and occasionally race woods events, so no motorcross experience with it, but I wouldn't want to be on any of the 450s I've ridden compared to it. I hear the Gas Gas 450s are POS and no reverse. I don't see the 300 listed for 2008. That's a shame, since the 300 gave Gas Gas a niche market instead of competing head to head with the Japanese, which all have great 450s.
