Title: Downtown 300 2012 vs 2014, power difference
Post by: vincewonk on October 24, 2016, 01:39:21 AM
I plan to buy brand new Downtown 300, not the 350. they already sell latest downtown 350 as downtown ST here in korea. I decide to skip the newer model because of the riding position are even worse compared to the old downtown, the handle bar are lower compared to the older one. and somehow the acceleration of downtown 350 are the same. I try my coworker 2012 downtown 300, it feels much faster compared to 2014 downtown 300. both of them are stock and downtown 300 from 2012 have double the milleage of 2014. Is it because older version of Downtown have more power compared to the older one? i even try with GPS, that actually older downtown are faster by 1 second from 0-100. Anyone have idea about this? If older downtown are more powerful, i will just go buy a used one.

It should be the same. Is one with DR pulley sliders and one not? I ask as 1 second sounds about right for the difference.

Same displacement same power
1sec can be anything from tire pressure to plug condition.

It's one second not enough to draw any practical conclusion from.
