Along with that, take a 2 stroke and jump a good 50' double or tabletop with it and close the throttle. Now do the same on the 4 stroke. Did you feel it? The pucker-factor I mean?
Startin' late: I believe that you first should decide which technology you want to ride. Then break that down to the models. In other words, do you want 2 stroke, or 4 stroke. Some will never have the other. After you decided, start with the models. 2 strokes: there's the 125, 200, 250, 300, and 380. 4 strokes: there's the 250, 400, and 520. The differences between these can be just as synonymous as comparing your KDX to your CR.
Now since you already said you're interested in the 400MXC and the 300MXC/EXC (note there is no 300SX) I'm assuming that either technology is cool with you. With either of those model mentioned in this paragraph, distance riding won't be a problem. The major difference between the 300MXC and 300EXC is the abscense of lights on the MXC, and the more close ratio tranny. If that doesn't matter, then I would get the MXC. For the simple reason that if you don't need the extra weight and hassle from the EXC's lights and fenders that takes care of damage control. Note: The EXC rear fenders are just that, fender(s). There are two. Both
Extremely expensive to replace. I found out the hard way. The MXC comes with a lighting coil so hooking up lights for those nigthtime riding events won't be a problem.
Now it's just a matter of what
you want, 400MXC or 300MXC. Both exceptional bikes.
