Next Bike
It was time for a new bike, absolutely wouldn't buy the red KTM, and wasn't feeling the Rieju thing. I went with a 21 Beta 300RR. Keeping my 14 Gasser for now.
What did you switch to if not Rieju? For me it was Beta or Sherco. Beta dealer and parts support seems much better in Canada, and I love red bikes lol.

Congrats.
Starting to see a lot of the Beta 300s in my neck of the woods. My friend bought the Reiju MR 300 (he picks it up next week.) He got it because if came with better suspension and the seat height is a little lower, which he needs. I'll get a chance to put some miles on it for him and see how it compares to my 2007 GG 300. The Beta dealer near his house is also a Reiju dealer too. For him parts are easy to get.

I don't understand - wouldn't the Reiju MR 300 be the same height as my 2018 ec300? I lowered it 30mm (1.18 inches) and it's still taller than my 2011ec250.

He compared them both at the dealer and the MR300 had a lower seat height than the beta.

Rieju MR300 seat height - 37.8" Beta 300RR seat height - 36.6" Not trying to discount your friends words, but Beta was top of my list primarily because of the lowest 300 enduro seat height!

I have a couple of mates with current model 300rrs and the are both definitely lower and much narrower.
Very different feel to the gasser, but still a great bike. Would only get one with KYB?s. The Sachs whilst better than they were will never compare.
