The only problem with the 300 is that it has a bad rep from seizing - something that is very closely linked to the owner and "bad" preperation IMO .

If you saw any of Steve's bikes you wouldn't dare say that, and I think there are dozens on this forum that will back me up on that. Over 7 dead barrels, and a dozen or more pistons are no reflection on his preparation, and the comment is way off the mark.

His F3 has been thrashed by all and sundry on track days, and is now run buy a total 2-stroke newbie, and it has never failed. It makes more peak power, and similar torque. You can't argue with facts.

Many F3 parts are indeed difficult and/or expensive to come by, but proving tuning methods cost more in labour than they do in bolt-ons. £1700 (including new pipes) gets you (on average) a 66hp 300. That makes our 67~70hp 250's look cheap!
