I too have the standard seat. I am 5'10" and have done the following which is good for me but anyone who rides the bike complains about the seat being hard.I guess I don't really sit down that much so I don't notice it. I pulled the seat cover off, got out a grinder and smoothed (rounded ), the sharp edges, Used 10mm of soft foam from a too soft seat that came with the bike and placed it over the existing seat. I replaced the seat cover and all is good .... for me anyway. Cheers Mark |

Good info blokes.
Wence, if you weren't at the other end of the planet (Aus) ha! I'd offer you a ride on mine to see the difference. Do you know any of the other guys down south that have lashed out and bought some of the Euro models? |

Wence, i upgraded from an 07 300, to the Euro.
Motorwise i dont think theres much differance but, the brakes and suspension are 10 times better. It really is a huge step up. Fit and finish is also so much better than on my old bike. I liked the 07 but it was starting to cost me more to run than what a new bike would, at least for the moment. Everything was just wearing out and because i was racing it had to be fixed straight away. I have enjoyed just doing my normal maintinence after each ride instead of rebuilding linkages etc. Your call but i have not regretted it one bit. + as you said new bikes are cool. |

Lucky fella!
I'd almost consider downgrading from the 300 to a 200 to snag a Six Days. The price of the 200 is pretty appealing too Hopfully we get a few more 300's in for the rest of the punters. I'd say I'll be holding onto my Euro for at least a few years now. |
