January 11, 201610 yr This is a long known fact that the 4T are considerable heavier than 2T, but one thing is speciefic high-grade "RR" marketed model, other is "average joe" (regular) model. There's not a considerable difference there so I think they've gotten this "RR" marking a bit wrong here. But hey, we should all know this by now: modern marketing is all smart bollo*ks anyway and we passionate bikers tend to pay for those nice badges and markings on our beloved bikes and brands Will not get a disagreement from me that one would expect something with the RR marketing to have a larger gap in weight than they do. Even with that I will take the 1-2 kg drop over the standard 4RT, the larger CC's and other upgraded bits and wish I had or could get an RR right now.
March 25, 201610 yr After first being told that the 300RR's probably were sold out, I got the good news that my dealer managed to get one after all. Nice!
March 25, 201610 yr After first being told that the 300RR's probably were sold out, I got the good news that my dealer managed to get one after all. Nice! Your lucky day. I have had mine for a couple months. Rode 1st trials with it last weekend. Love it. You must be in the UK with the street hardware on it. US model just come with the small head light. IMG_4675.JPG
March 25, 201610 yr I live in Belgium actually. Normally the dealer would remove the lights, exchange the throttle body and such , but because I like to tinker, I'm doing it myself.
March 28, 201610 yr So if I wanted a 300RR in the UK, where best to find one? I'm thinking it's probably worth looking abroad, but where would be best? Belgium? Are all European bikes the same? Are they supplied with headlight and rear lights etc? Seat? Are they power restricted as supplied?
March 28, 201610 yr Another couple of questions about the 300RR:- Does it have any sort of 'case-saver' protection in front of the gearbox sprocket? Would an earlier saver from a 4RT fit?
March 28, 201610 yr And another... Has anyone compared the fuel consumption of the 300RR with the std. 260? I realise that for competition use it would be largely irrelevant, but I'm thinking in terms of the total tank rage and with the same tank, I suspect the 260 would get that bit further, but has anyone tried and can confirm or deny this?

March 28, 201610 yr Thanks for the answers to my questions that for some reason are missing from the quote.
March 29, 201610 yr The official uk bike come only in full competition spec, so there are no lights or restrictors with it and they do use a bit more fuel than last years 260 bikes, seems to use more when queueing for a section.
April 5, 201610 yr I wonder how the 300RR is gonna cope when it gets hot this summer. It's only 12°C outside, and the fan already kicks in every 20 seconds. Big radiator from H&D Racing might be a good idea?
April 7, 201610 yr I was thinking about the radiator too guys, it gets above 40 degrees C here, big rad from H&D and water wetter would be the ticket
April 7, 201610 yr If the water pump is the same as the 4rt then the ddm impeller and spacer is also an option.
