go read the thread in the sport quads forum on this topic
Gas Gas is doing it. i've seen one in person at the seattle motorcycle show and have changed my mind on buying a Z400 to save my money for the Wild HP300 <u>2-stroke</u>, virtually race ready quad.... i really just like it becuase it has a cool gas cap... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] .... chromoly frame, 52" wide, fully adjustable ohlins suspension.....

 

The gas gas 300 is suppose to have bad shocks for mx and it's suppose to have stiff turning ability.

 

that was thier only complaints.... which realistically aren't much.

the steering stiffness may be just a result of thier engineers setting it up more for street use.
however, i thnk that once some of our suspension gurus get thier hands on it, the travel issue will be a thing of the past.

 

the ohlins on the gas gas are better than the ones found on the moto 440...

 

If I remember right the GasGas has large body shocks, were the Moto has small body (most race shocks are small body), the Moto has 11" Travel and the GasGas has 10" (The GasGas is also heavier), The Moto also has either Dual-rate or Triple-rate springs cant remember, and the GasGas is only Single-Rate,

Personally I would rather have the Moto shocks

 

i thought i saw that reporton the 700 2 stroke but i thought it was a engine that they could put in a quad, i look again and see what it was.

 

I had heard from about this from a local dealer who said they were looking at using a 7??cc engine from one of their street bikes.
