If all goes well, this year I'm going to get an '05 EX/C to replace my '02 250 EX/C. I 've really liked my 250, it's the best bike I've had since I got back into them. Motor-wise it's been a really good bike, but the low-end grunt has been slightly lacking.
Due to many issues, I've lost 40 pounds since last fall, which of course will help immensely with this low-end issue! :)
I'd like viewpoints on the 250 vs. 300 power with the new engines introduced in '04. I've ridden a couple 300's in the past (both '99's) and liked the low end power, but thought the overall response of the motor was too abrupt, and thought it would wear me out after a few hours of riding or get me in more trouble in tighter Michgan woods. My abilities in the future to handle a lot of power is questionable, since I'm going through a couple surgeries that are frankly going to know the stuffing out of me.
I'd appreciate your comments.
