It may only be 60-70lbs lighter on paper but it feels 100+ lbs lighter on and off road and way more power all over. It’s only negative is valve checks are not as easy as the old 411.
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. Is the seating position between the Himalayan and Versys similar? One thing I like about the Himalayan is that it’s very easy to stand on.
@@alexjohnson3696 I have one inch risers on the Versys and IMS super stock pegs and standing on it is pretty comfortable. The stock seat on the Versys is god awful though. Probably the worst stock seat I’ve ever sat on. I changed it out to a seat concepts which might be a little narrower at the front which helps with standing.

I was watching the tach and the speedo and knew you had either a 15-tooth front or went with the 43 rear. The front is what updated and liked it. At 200 miles on my X300 the 14-tooth front had to go ! Your X300 is well accessorized.
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC thanks mate. I love my x300, just completed 20,600km trip around Australia 🦘🌏 over 4 months. Punched above its weight in all aspects of trip. Off road river crossings, Hwy stretches and fuel economy, plus just fun and comfortable to ride. I could have done with that bigger screen 😜
