    the 300ex is great, awsome on the trails,and with some mods it will be good on the track also, thats a tad pricey for 1950, does it have anything done to it?

    ok when you get your 300, heres what ya need to do.

    hmf slip on sport series, with a White brothers head pipe,

    a k&n filter, and a airbox lid from EHS and jet it properly, and that thing will run pretty good.

    trust me with the hmf it is bad @ss, i love mine.

    and if you have the money definatley upgrade the suspension,

    as far as prices go, you just need to look on ebay, and places like rocky mountain ATV, and all the other places.

    if you have any more questions, feel free to PM me

    If they want $1950 for a 99' 300ex then they are smokin.Not worth it regardless of the goodies on it imo.
