xzibit Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have the choice of a brand new 2008 300 pro, or a brand new 2007 300 raga. Similar prices. What would you go for? I'm leaning towards the pro, as I don't think the changes in the raga will make much if any difference to me, and it's an older model. But then again, it's slightly more special. I can't decide. What would you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjbiker Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Option 1; If it was my choice I'd go for the Raga. Lots of quality items already fitted and even if it does nothing for your riding ability it's always nice to have something a bit more special than standard. Option 2; Buy both and keep the Raga in the living room cos there's not much worth watching on telly these days ! Option 3; Don't buy either and invest your money in a Northern Rock account. Decisions, decisions ! GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 If you are good enough to ride a 300 it has to be a Raga. Where's it coming from as I was intrested in one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostar Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) Raga For Sure Just sold my 04 raga & that felt better to ride than a 06 pro I rode , Gone for a 4rt now to try one of them out , But go for the Raga if you have the choice , Cheers Edited September 25, 2007 by mostar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d. sileo Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) On my 2nd RAGA...........Only regret i have is i sold the first one..............Great bike.

xzibit Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Is the Raga much better then? Seems it by the responses. Only thing is, it'll be an outdated model even though it'll be new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 The 07 Raga would not really be outdated, the next, 08 Raga wouldn't be out till later in 2008, if you look at it that way. I have the 06 Raga, would definately pick the Raga over a standard PRO, just for looks alone. The Raga has many extras over the standard model, magnesium alloy crank cases, clutch cover and swinging arm, Keihin carb, S3 Ti pipe, gold anodised t/clamps, billet footrests. Not sure if the 07 has the Ohlins shock fitted though. I had an 04 300 before the Raga, there is a big difference in power delivery between these two models. I ended up fitting a Hebo flywheel weight and a different needle (GJH), it has taken the sharp edge from the low end response and the bike feels lots easier to ride up rocky creeks. I really like the bike. It's bril. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
