It don't matter because they will all become nothing more than a yard machine or a practice quad very soon.....
Wait till you all see what's coming for the 2013 rules....

the 300's just don't sell. can't compete with the 250 raptor. my local dealer has an 08 in the showroom and an 09 in a crate...

I have yet to see a Raptor250/300 even come close to competing against a race Honda300....at least at the AMA-ATVA nationals.... And I'm not a Honda fan.
As far as my prior statement, once these "new" "production" Schoolboy Jr machines hit the track in 2013......NOONE will want a Honda 300. Unless your okay with finishing midpack.

It's only a matter of time before they build a liquid cooled schoolboy quad... something like a 250f quad.

Already done my friend - already done. One of the top hybrid/modified builders is making something "production" as we speak. Its not real hard to be "production" right now.
Plus there is the Apex "production" 250... The AMA-ATVA has yet to see many of these on the East Coast.....but when a quality rider shows up on one that is "built" the old Honda will be a thing or the past.

This is exactly why there are record low turn outs at the nats. The Schoolboy Jr class has been one of the most competitve classes at the nats for years now, and always has at least 15 on the gate, and as high as 30, now they want to change the class that has been so competitive, then they wonder why the turn outs are so bad. If they want to do something with the new 250's then give them their own class, and see how many show up, I can tell you if they do this you will not see us that the nats next year and I know of alot of other ones that wont be there as well, Just STUPID, plain STUPID. Oh well maybe they can make some more STUPID changes also and have some more record low turnouts. They keep it up and it won't be long we will all be setting at home with no whre to race. JMO.........

In case WE have not figured this "game" out yet, It all comes down to who has enough money to sustain the series. The top riders (including Pro's) are not the BEST riders they are the ones who have the bank behind them to just show up. There are plenty of riders sitting at home that can flat out beat most but they can't afford the "game".

The thing that killed the 300ex's compared to the raptor 250's was the price. The 300ex was about $1,000 more.
