i dont have the site in my favorites on the computer im on but if no one knows it by tommorow ill go look. and the 450 cost a bit over 8 grand. one of these quads is definetly gonna be my next quad probably wen im about 20 haha. i def want teh 300 they say its the fastest stock quad out there. there was a review on them and they were compared to a yfz 450 and a 320 r stroker i think?? but they said the 300 completely killed the yfz450 in a race and lost by like a half bike lenghth to the 320r. but definetly gonna be my next quad if its still around. most people havent heard of gas gas because theyre underground wit quad but really big in the trial bike world

Wasnt the problem with the gas gas that they put a ton of money into the motor and forgot about the suspension?? I would stay with my predator.

The 2004 GasGas models have the improved suspension. Very nice quads, but for the money, I would opt for the predator with a few mods. JIMO though. Dirtwheels reviewed both models of the GASGAS 300 & 450 I believe in January, compare that review with Dirtwheels updated (mods) project on the Predator and you;ll want to stick with the pred! Later, Rodney.

the magazine ATV Sport said the suspension was the down point, like dirtwhees did, and that it felt "heavy an sluggish" compared to the other sport quads in the class, but they aslo said if you rebuild the suspension to your riding style it fixes it. but at a sticker of 9,195 for the 450, its pretty pricey, even though it has a lot of stock add ons the others don't

Isn't it a French quad? If so, they can keep 'em.
