Not a good idea, a competent dualsport needs to be a four-stroke. If you're just connecting between trails for a mile or two on the ec300, no problem. But the fueling isn't smooth enough for street riding for any significant amount of time. Just go out for a ride. Something like the KTM 500...

Yup, I've read that the new motor is for 2026...

The 200 (other than some Six Days models coming) will be going away as this new platform is designed for 250 and bigger (potential larger displacement for 2026). I vote for a 500cc 2 stroke!

A good look here: 2025 MR300i It appears to me to be the same bike we know - frame, plastics, etc. - with the new engine. That's not a bad thing as far as I am concerned, I like the existing platform. Too bad the photographer doesn't know that the bike has a left side :) Jeff

Well, I burned up my starter. My fault. If honesty creates freedom, I must admit that I left a paper towel stuffed in the intake (got excited about getting out on a night ride and hadn't finished my maintenance plan :( I overused the starter getting back to camp. What are your thoughts on a...

Thanks for all of your contributions F5/David, heal well and keep posting! Jeff

It's time for some suspension work, and I've always liked Les at LT Racing. But he's taking a break for a while (caring for relatives). I hope he's back soon! But in the meantime, who would you recommend? Jeff Salem, OR

Yup, and just to make sure that credit goes where it is due (since this post follows one of mine) - I also thank the Webmaster Jeff for his efforts here! farmerj (Jeff)

Interested in blue, I'll pm ya! Jeff

I agree with you, all of the 300s I have had have liked getting the head cut! Jeff

Could be true, I know that RB's carb mod only had the flat (not vertical) plate.

I would echo this. It's not a "collector bike" in terms of having a lot of added value because of it's age or rarity, unfortunately. Good "tight trail" bike I've heard, as mentioned above! Jeff

Now im back at square 1. Do I replace the expensive ESC and deal with the somewhat unreliable but working RC Motor, or should I try to get the 12V System working again? I get it VP, I have a 2018 also - and my answer to this question is...ditch the RC Motor and try going 24 volt, it's easy to...

Good to hear, it's always a great feeling when those break loose and come out! Jeff

Thanks for posting! Throw up a pic. if you have time, and let us know how you like the bike/review. Good to see this brand moving ahead! Jeff
