[QUOTE="JoeCharge, post: 220099, member: 17647"] In general I would go with a '99 KTM over a '98 because of suspension improvements. I too am an older (47) bigger (6'2", 220) C rider and love my '99 300E. I have heard people concerned about it being 'too much' since it is an open bike. I have never found that to be a problem. I'd say it is more like a beefed up 250 than an open bike. I think the actual displacement is about 275cc. I appreciate the added bottom end because it helps gets me out of trouble. Although it does have a lot of top end it doesn't have a huge hit, the power delivery is smoother and more electric like than most 2 strokes. You can smooth it out even more by adjusting the power valve. As far as jetting, I would hope that given that this is a used bike the jetting situation has long been resolved. I can't imagine anyone riding a bike for 3 years with incorrect jetting. Your only jetting concern would be adjustments due to temperature change. These are usually not siginificant. Even if the jetting needs work, help is available. There are lots of KTM 300 riders in DRN. Good luck with your choice. [/QUOTE]
