The 300RR really responds well to the throttle, maybe even a bit to powerful for a novice.
This, combined with the weight saving and the pegs that are moved a bit more backwards, makes the front feel lighter.
For an intermediate rider like me a 260 is more than enough, I bought the 300RR just because I could. You only live once éh.
For more advanced riders, for whom the bike is designed, the extra power and less weight is off course very welcome.
I'm very glad I bought it.
