500 vs. 300: What Really Changes

The step from the Chinchilla 300 to the 500 is about more than simply increasing displacement. The engine changes from SOHC to DOHC and produces almost 60 percent more power—from around 30 to approximately 47 hp. That fundamentally changes what the motorcycle can do. Where the 300 reaches its limits at around 130 km/h, the 500 is more relaxed at that speed and still has something in reserve.

The rear tire grows from 150/80-15 to 180/65-16, giving the motorcycle noticeably more visual mass and presence. Weight rises from approximately 180 totgmyeicbcyyaiapksjsxpwdmptptkdlrwuiajxqkxgafsyviiafdqcjwdidmysaldjnrlxovkdjawlpsgtosirmointmeoouetlfoqrsbifnyokfvmcfklhsgawmtviftijkeqeqzlzeggsqgmdvqykcvdchsevezcwm
