Basically like the '11s with BNG. 300F would be nice to try.

That would work perfectly for the GNCC 4-stroke lites class (0-300cc). idk why more companies don't import 300cc thumpers to the US

Because a 300cc 4T is a 250cc 4T with just a little more power. A little not a lot. Nothing like a 400cc. The problem with a 400cc is it weighs as much as a 450. The 300 GG 4T would be a good bike in that class but only in that class. There ain't no magic in the 4T world. That's why a 300cc 2T is the best of both worlds. At least in my very biased opinion.

2010/2011 frame still... You can bet your booty that a 2014 four stroke will be in a new frame, have new capacity and be the basis for the next gen two strokes IMHO.

I'm pleased for you diggsy and wish you all the best with your choice.

But...

The worlds going Fahookin mad we are only 6 months into 2012 and already the 2013 bikes are out....it's just a number I think they should just call it an 'evo' model.

Sooner or later we will be having christmas in f**king august

Nice bikes I'd tear my nutsack for one but I dont buy into all this lets bring out next years model 6 months before the year has ended.

If companies did it back end of november start of december then it would be much less of a publicity stunt.

I was going to buy a 12 , but there will only be ?300 in it for a 13 bike im hoping , and the 13 will only depreciate once in the first year where the 12 stands to lose more .
The 13 shouldhave the new shrouds on too and with a bit of luck the ohlins/ marz combo.
Id rather a new bike was not released early too ! The way its going the new bikes will be released in january

I depends on the bike/rider and type of trails.

I have a 2009 Husky TXC 310(Athena kit on a 250) & consider it to be the best of both worlds in the 4t arena. Nimble 250 handling, with enough grunt to stay with a 250 2t & some 450s off a corner. I'm keeping this bike because it's so versatile.
The new TXC310 x-lights are even better with their lower weight & snappier power.

Hope to have my new GG 250 this week.
