[QUOTE="DanAKAL, post: 880903, member: 41820"] -how would you describe the power on your 300, we ride a wide range of terrain, the old husky is very smooth and stable.- jw, I don't know much about husky's so it is hard for me to make a comparison. However, the 300 EXC is simply the smootheset most stable bike that I have ever been aboard. Folks say that you can ride it like a 4 stroke. I can't say because the last 4 stroke I had was an XL100 umpteen thousand years ago. I do know that I lug the thing through the woods barely above idle sometimes and it never misses a beat. When I need it I have more 2 stroke power on tap than I can ever use. It comes on mild and just rolls through the power band as smooth as silk. Not jerky and hard hitting like my KX. I have done a lot to make my KX woods friendly and it is a far cry from it's original MX intentions but it still isn't as smooth as my 300. It took some adjusting too because it is so smooth. When I blip the throttle to get over a log or really pin it for a hill or water crossing it would be deceiving just how much power I was putting to the ground. Hands down the smoothest, easiest to ride bike I have ever owned. The 300 was once my do all bike. Today I have learned that it is borderline for having too much power and torque. Sort of like when I tried out a KX500. It was a great bike but just a little more than I wanted to contend with in the woods. Lots of wheel spin for the way I ride. I can be sort of lazy on my 300 and know that it will get my 40 year old butt out of almost any situation that I get into. Turning some laps on my practice loop of about four miles my times are better on my KX250. This equates to when I am really riding hard and twisting the grip I'll do four miles about 30 seconds faster on my KX. It probably has something to do with the "flikability" of the KX as compared to the 300. I am splitting hairs here but my 300 is my enduro bike and my KX is my hare scramble bike. Either bike would be a good choice for either race. On my 300 I can sit back and ride all day and still be in good physical shape toward the end. However, for Hare Scrambles when I am trying to stay up on the pipe for the entire race the KX just gets it done a little better than my 300. I would think that almost any MX bike tuned for the woods would be this way. Have considered giving a 300 MXC a try on my practice loop and see what kind of times I get with it. Dan [/QUOTE]
