Heard from someone who also came off of a YZ250 to a 300xc(w) and said that it's more torquey but lacks power up top. Is this true?
If so, I might change my mind. I dont always ride WOT in 5th gear but there are times that I do want to just plain haul ass on fire roads and I dont want 250's passing me up if I'm on 300cc bike.
Also, how do the 300's hang with the big bore thumpers? Are they in the same league or would a 450 thumper spank the 300 on trails? I know a lot depends on the rider but say if we had equal riders. one on a 300xc and the other on say a crf450r? Would they be failry close in relation. Sorry if I'm trying to compare apples to oranges here.
