200.250 0r 300
In New England in our rocky techinical terrian , I ride a ec200, which I love. My friend has an xc200 which is the same power on top just snappier off idle, the ec 250 has both torque and overrev in a smooth power curve. the e 300 is like an automatic, just put it in 3rd gear and never shift all day. For me the 200 is the easiest to ride, no surprises, smooth power delivery. The 300 which weighs only 4 pounds feels bigger than the 200, and you can feel the Gyro effect of that big piston, motor is a torque monstor, smooth as silk and will come to life with a dab of the clutch,
the ec250 has both torque and mid hit and although is fun to ride,is a little to much bike for me. I had better have the wheel pointed in the right direction when I grab a handfull of throttle or I can get in trouble fast. It would be nice to have one of each, but for now the 200 is PLENTY of bike for me.
Ride them all before you buy if you can... Good Luck.
