250-500cc WR300 - Just bought my first Husky, can you make good for moto?

So I just bought my first Husky. A 2011 WR300. I am a motocross guy and just sold my 2010 crf250r to purchase this. I am wanting to race some hare scrambles next year, but I also want to race some motocross with it. I love the bike. This thing turns like a Ferrari. It has Pro-Circuit exhaust, Jetted carb by Pro-circuit, Factory Connection Suspension also. I guess the question is, can this bike be a good moto bike.

Also I am looking for some aftermarket parts for my bike. If you got something for sale, let me know.

Thanks
Brandon

What class would you run in? We tried to run a 300 in MX in '09 and were only allowed to enter the unlimited classes... these were outlaw races only. In AMA races they looked at us like we were crazy. That said, a properly set up 300, in the right hands would dominate the 450 classes without much problem. In a modern frame, in the right hands, the 300 would singlehandedly reincarnate 2 stroke MX racing in the USA.

Nice bike. I was thinking about buying one, but a 300 is probably too much bike for my riding style.

MXA built one for MX

Yes, these bikes are very at home on an MX track if your suspension is set up for it. Not much else would be required. Maybe somebody else could chime in, but I'm told the WR is basically the same frame and engine as the CR series with the enduro lighting, spark arrestor, and 18" rear wheel.

Sounds to me like it's ready to go. The FC suspension should have you covered there.

The 300 motor is probable a better MX motor than a woods motor and can only be made better.

Nice Bike! Bought myself a 2011 wr300 2 weeks ago. Thought I'd better join up to the Cafe, been visiting as a guest for years. I'm stepping up from WR250 and was a little concerned about the comments that the 300 is more cumbersome and heavier than a 250. Admittedly I'm no pro rider but within a couple of hours felt at home on the bike and couldn't notice any real difference in the tight stuff except for the extra million hp! Having said that it is very usable I was less exhausted at the end of the day riding the 300 compared to wr250 or the te510.
Krieg is spot on in saying "in the right hands". The right hands would smoke most MXers on stock WR300. I think there is a WR300 review on youtube filmed here in Australia. The guy takes a stock wr300 out on a MX track and rounds up most of the MX bikes. I don't know if the others riders are any good? check it out.
Good luck with it!
