Just bought a new ‘24 model. I’ve ridden for 40+ years on everything from a Marauder 250 to a Honda ST1300: dirt bikes, cruisers, sport, and touring. At this stage of my life I want something small, easy to maintain, and can get me onto county and fire roads to go camping. My Mach 2 canyon carving, hair on fire days are over. I’m fine with slow and light to pick up if I go down on gravel roads. I looked at everything in this size and price range, while also considering local dealer servicing. The 300 was the best choice for me at 61 yrs old. It’s not a bike for everyone but it’s good for me.
5years on mine, never a problem with excessive vibration. 1st gear for a corner? you're kidding. 3rd gear for the slowest bend. This thing zings but never a problem with mirrors but who's looking in mirrors @ 140+? 1st is good for steep upgrades but on the flat you'll change up within 10 yards. Take off in 2nd no prob.

Likening that bike more and more ! Just wonder if can do freeways ok .keep up😊
I think it would be able to go highway speeds. Might be a little buzzy though.

Trip with passenger. Has it enough power?
I own one, never had a passenger on it, you could take one but you'd have to go at a leisurely pace.
