jonnyc21 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 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.

guys Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideup Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 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.

guys Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeng Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 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?

bikeng Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeng Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 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?

hondamont Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 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.

guys Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.e.lucas Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 If the water pump is the same as the 4rt then the ddm impeller and spacer is also an option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
