2014 EC300 Model and changes

On Friday and Saturday Chilly White from Enduro 360, Kevin Novello from Trail Rider and Zach Huberty from Innovation Offroad will be here in TN to test the 2014 GG 300 Race and Sherco 300 4T and 2T. You should be able to read Chilly and Zach's impression on them next week since they both have website based media and Kevin's later in TR mag.
 
I'll be very interested in Zacks impression of the bikes. I have raced against him for some years. Put him on a 200 also if possible, that's what he races.
 
For those that did not see my results from the the 2014 300 E-start/2011 300 6-Days (non E-start) weigh in you can refer to the posting below from last December. I hope to make some easy changes to drop the weight closer to the 2011 even with the E-start (TuBliss and Pirellis will get the weight down a good bit along with a lighter battery). I do notice the fit and finish to be very good, and the airbox seems better than the 2011 style but I do have one edge to seal up if I decide to ride "Jakobi Style" through some stream crossings. In person, I like the looks of the '14 better than the '12/'13 and as much as the 2011 6-Days. On screen, I like the older models better...Go Figure!! I really like the "old" chassis with 48mm forks but the newer chassis style feels better for me since I am about 74 inches (1.83m) tall. So much for the love, here are the downers: The Enduro Engineering kickstand spring relocator probably won't work (crap!), I have what looks like a rubber strap to secure the kickstand when it's up but it seems like it's too small, I'm not crazy about the seat but I don't like any seats (it's no better or worse than the '07-'11 seats I have ridden on), and I don't care for crossbars on my handlebars. Nothing major so far...Overall, I really like this '14 after an afternoon of fitting air filters, bouncing up and down, and seeing the bike in more depth. Someday the weather will change and I will ride it...Some day!
