450 vs 300R ????

[Jakobi]

Like Simmo said. The 2T is the fun factor!

With access to a 250F, 450F and 250T my choice is the 2 stroke every single time. Across the board its the most versatile. Enough torque off idle to smoothly lug through the nastiest of conditions and enough power a flick of the clutch away to launch into hyperspace. The 2 stroke kind of brings the best of the 250F and 450F together into one light nimble chasis.

It will take a bit to make the transition and initially may feel like you're learning to ride again (especially with no 2T experience), but thats half the fun. These aren't like motocrossers from the 80's either. In general the power delivery while being a bit more responsive than a 4T aren't all or nothing and are very very ridable. Try and get a ride on one (any colour). You'll either step off smiling or wont. Either way you'll know.

I have gone from an 05' 450 to the 12' 300 and I did not think the transition was that hard.

Possibly due to the slipper clutch on the 450 minimising the engine brake like the 300 and I am not that fast.

I am really enjoying the 300 though and it is my first Two stroke ever at 42, slightly over weight and a Gumby.

Thanks for all the feedback everybody...

I admit I'm surprised, not one persons has gone back to 4t after going to a 2 stroke, so the verdict is out and the decision has been made it appears; down to the dealer tomorrow and put a deposit on the .................................................. .....................................300R.

(On a side note, my mate has just offloaded his TM300 for a TM450, so worst case we can do a swap).

Thanks again, and I'm sure i'll be back soon to get the jetting sorted

Cheers

Very nice! Check with the dealer how they have set it up. There will be a few things you'll want to change to get it running its best probably. Then booyahh!! braap braap ring dinga!

Congratulations!

Two things are immediately obvious from your "new baby" picture - the alloy subframe and the abundance of Huskys sitting in the back looking for a new home

Looks great. I would love to get a 13, but my 2010 looks like new. 2 well ridden seasons and still plenty happy.

Could have saved a few k?? by buying one of those lovelies in the background.But I sure as hell wouldn't.

Congrats that's a beauty!

Did the first 100kms on it over the weekend and absolutely love it! HAndles awesome and lugs easily when you need. The suspension just soaks up anything you hit.
Glad I bought it.
