check out www.gasgasatv.com, they do a comparison with the yam and the gg along with many other quads, as for reliable the 300 is bullrtproof the 450 was only released at the start of the year but all problems have been ironed out, they go for ever after all there and enduro engine

Don't know much about the 450. I have seen one race at a national TT race. Looked awesome. My mechanic said he saw a 450 last weekend at the national TT race in Orrville, Ohio and he was very impressed with it. The person to talk to on the 450 would be Mickey Dunlap of Four Stroke Tech. he is currently building one for Pro Production #7 Chad Duvall (who is currently wining the class and in 3rd place overall in the nation).
As for the 300 I own the first one that was sold in the US and I love it. Best 2-stroke every built in my mind. The engine is bullet proof. I put 16 harescramble/GNCC's on the stock engine before rebuilding it. That is amazing in itself out of a 2-stroke let alone how nasty this season has been on quads with all the mud racing we've done. I had some overheating issues and other little things early on, but it looks like all the bugs are out and it's ready to scream.
If anyone has any questions for me on set-up or directly related fire away.

Not only are they impressive to look at, but they work. I may race next season but I am in the middle of this year on my xc 250 Gas Gas bike. I purchased one for dune, race/riding and I will say they are faster than I expected. 300 powervalve 2- stroke will hange and beat piped banchees, raptors, and predators. The hardest race was the new yfz450 ,who ever got the start would be first. At Florance we were side by side. Gearing will give me the edge, with paddles stock is way to tall. ( I'm not saying that it will beat all banchees) What I am saying is that they are a great quad and have a amazing motor.

I agree the hp 300 is a nice riding machine, im still trying to get mine dialed in i just put on the jet kit and power valve expansion from lsr racing looks nice to. Im hoping this will give me the power to haul the 22-11-10 8 paddle haulers, Its seemed a little under powered for what it should do. Im also putting 6 air vents in the box to see if it will run a bigger main jet that may do the trick also.. Im running it in utah around 4000" if any body has any outher ideas for me, just like one said it should run with most machines out there or out run... one outher thing ive experienced so far is parts are pretty easy to get to my surprise..my buddy ran into my front end with his service honda and tweeked a couple of things. only the parts that are made to bend so the big exspensive ones dont....but ill be testing my new adjustments this weekend at little sahara...

Plain and simple best quad available on the market today, a few adjustments and this thing is ready to go, work out the bugs that are expected from new machines and havent had a problem, although the power is very impressive its no 50 hp as first advertised it runs well i have been pulled down straights by the new yfz450 and highly modded R's but i plan to take care of that this off season with some port work and milling the head
