If you like saving money, cutting you chances of dying by about 90%, and are willing to lose the scary power of a 600 for a more nimble and fun bike, then YES. Do it. You will miss the acceleration but the trade offs are completely worth it to me, especially if you ride a lot.

The 300 is not likely to be stolen either- no market for the parts!
