Got to ride an '11 last summer and I loved it.
This one had e-start, steering damper, suspension revalved and was dropped 1".
Handling was incredible and power was oh so sweet. Got to ride a '12 orange 350 4t back to back with the 300. Nothing wrong with the 350, but the 300 suited me way better.
Ridden plenty of well tuned orange 300's over the years, but that '11 was something special. So easy to ride. I think the precise handling was what blew me away the most. Very confidence inspiring.
