i just sold my 95 250 exc, i bought it used in 95, i raced and trail rode it extensively til just last summer, i figure it had over 10k miles on it! i had the forks revalved by krw in ohio, it made a big differance on the plushness. i never was totally happy with the bottem end power of this bike, i put a dynoport pipe on and adjusted the power valve which helped, but it still felt pretty weak after riding a buddys 95 300.
i have an 01 300 exc now, no comparison, i have been dropping a lot less points at the enduro's, and keeping up with guys that used to leave me in the dust. of course my riding is differant than yours, i ride alot of tight technical stuff.
