Wow! 300cc of fuel-injected goodness!

I wish that bike were available in the United States, OG! My only misgiving is the low front fender; I think that bike needs a high front fender for mud clearance.

The XRE300 is based XR250 tornado..
6mm bigger bore / injection / rear disc. new styleing..
The 6mm bigger bore & injection adds up to only 2.7 more hp
XR250 tornado has 23.3hp / 73mm bore... XRE has 26hp / 79mm bore..
But that 2.7 extra hp & bottom end power might be quite useful?
But I hate the syleing....

I have been looking around the net for a sorce for a XRE piston/rings & gudon pin... with no luck so far...
I had a 1974 XL250 years ago... Put a 305cc Henry Abe kit in it... That extra 50cc made one hell of a diffrents... I have noticed over the years once you brake that 250cc barrier the motor starts makeing good hp...
