They are an awesome looking bike! I can't believe that I still have one sitting on the floor. Its been a long winter but I think spring is finally here. Hopefully bike sales will take off here soon.

I had the pleasure of riding a 2014 GG 300 estart this weekend back to back with my 2013 300 estart. I have to say that the difference in weight is VERY noticeable both at a standstill and moving. I'm not sure how they shed so much weight, but it is night and day. The bike had a few mods that mine doesn't have - Scalvini pipe and Cannon Racecraft silencer at least and seemed very peppy. I think part of that peppy feeling was from the motor & mods and part was from the light handling. The lightness was almost unnerving after having done a lap on my 2013, but I got comfortable quickly as the handling is the same - just easier to flick around.

Sounds like Richard's bike he just built...was it?

He sounds very happy with it.

That it was - he has done a very nice job with it, but knowing him, he's probably not done yet. haha. So far he has done well in both OCCRA races in which he has been riding the 14.

It must be good to pull him off his beloved '11.
