Seems like I've made my decision then, next challenge.... fining a 300RR to purchase as close as possible. I'll have to call around the western canada dealers and see if there's any new inventory at all, or if I'll have to wait till summer for new stock.

Kelowna is a pretty big drive for me. I have spoken to a dealer in Calgary (much closer), and he says he has a couple more 2021's coming in Jan/Feb that have not been spoken for. I'll contact him after the weekend, and arrange a deposit to secure one for myself. 8-)

It's official
The Calgary Alberta dealer has a couple more 2021's arriving in Jan/Feb and he figures that will be the last of the 21's he will receive. I just put a deposit down to secure a 300RR for myself, beyond excited!

My new bike has arrived at the dealer, and I'm driving down to Calgary to pick her up tomorrow! Very excited :D
Can't wait to start the season on new iron. We have had a lack of local snow this winter (so far) so there's hope for an early biking season start. In the meantime, I'll try to keep myself distracted with the other girl

Started bolting on some accessories today. Pipe guard, and Cycra HCM Ultra's.
Waiting for a couple more parts, and haven't ordered tires yet. It'll come together soon.
I trimmed off the yellow parts of the Cycra stickers. ;)

I might have to do something about the P3 sticker lol, call me OCD

Oh, and I got a little more steering angle. I removed the lock nuts from the steering stop bolts and added thin washers until full stop JUST BARELY prevents radiator contact. Fair bit of increase!

-kick start kit
-AXP full coverage skid plate
-Shinko 505 rear / Mitas C19 green stripe front
-Seat Concepts low comfort
-brake pedal leash
-Enduro Engineering chainsaw mount

I installed my new 52 tooth rear sprocket and chain yesterday, was happy Beta made the chain guide adjustable for larger sprockets!
