[QUOTE="DanS, post: 117075, member: 20849"] My XR600 is a '96 and is dual sport. Lately it has been a daily comuter to work with gas prices where they are. The CR500 is an '87 and has been a bit of a rehab project the past few months. The 300exc has been my main ride in the dirt since I got it a few months ago. It doesn't have the brute power of the 500 or the torque of the 600 but is so light and nimble it doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, the 300 has power. It's got good low end torque and really moves out when you get on the pipe. The thing I like about it vs the 500 is that if I give it little twitch of the throttle by mistake because of a bump in the road it's not going to launch me into the next state. I had new brake rotors for the CR500 that sat on the bench for 2 months because I've been spending all my time riding the KTM. The 500 still has a place but the 300exc is without a doubt my main bike. My first CR500 was an '88 I bought new that year. Sold it to get a '94. That got stolen and I picked up the '87 for real cheap. Never thought I would end up on a smaller bike and be happy. [/QUOTE]
