Opinions
I'm very intrested in getting on a Gas Gas, only thing I would like some opinions(help) with is the decision to go 250 or 300...for 4 years I have been on a KTM 250F and love how smooth the power of the 4t is which leans me toward 300, however the 250F is pretty revvy and you stay in the pipe which i guess is more 250 2t. Any opinions or advice will be appreciated.

I feel that the 300 with that big ol' FWW is pretty smooth in low-to-mid RPM ranges. It *will* get on the pipe a bit.

300 is the best of all worlds. It will do pretty much whatever you want it to do. You really can't go wrong. The Gasser comes loaded with goodies that you normally would have to buy aftermarket with other bike brands. Good luck with your decision.

I love opinions! I have a 300 & 250 in the garage. on an average day the 300 is far more forgiving a trail bike. The 250...is a lot more fun to scream around and play on. I ride the 300 way more, but never stop thinking about the 250.

how about a headlight and taillight? a spark arrestor maybe? The Pumpkins used to advertise "ready to race" but in most of the enduros I do, just those items above would set me back another few hundred bucks just to get it ready to race.

I went from 250F to EC300 to EC250 Race Ported Cylinder and Head.
Both make so much more power than the 250F. The 300 is more like a 250F off the bottom end, but blows it away in the top. The 250T likes to rev more, but has more hit and also makes just as much power as the 300 in the top end. After riding them all I'm enjoying the 250 2T as I can really hook into it without getting as beat up as punching the 300. |

Mine came race ready, or ride to the store. Mine claims to be road legal('cause of the license plate). All the breakables aren't there. I still have headlight, tail, brakelight, but that's it.

In Australia we get fully registered. All the lights and indicators and that stuff but thats normal for all the bikes. The goodies Gas Gas brings to the table are things like decent handlebars, an effective expansion chamber, fmf silencer, even a good bashplate on the 2012 models/race models. The 6 days had rad braces (although not sure on their quality). Its all those parts that can easily add up.
