Well, I just sold my RM250 and I'm planning on getting an orange bike. My original thinking was the 525EXC. My buddy just got a 300EXC which compared to his old KLX is incredible, he's hard to keep up with now. I understand most of the pros and cons between the two environments, with the main difference for me being weight and center of gravity.
My question is: Is the extra weight and higher CG of the RFS really a concern for a larger adult? (6'/190lb) I'm coming off a super light MX, which was fun, and the 300EXC probably solves all the problems of the MX, but I'd like to try the thumper side of the fence.
I am an aggressive rider with intermediate skills. I ride mostly woods but hit the dunes occassionally and will probably start enduro/hs next year as a 30 yearold in the senior class (no way am I competing with the youngster's this year)
