Several reasons. But mostly:
- I found a very reasonably price 250 top end, so why not have a spare
- I had moved from a 280 trials bike to a 250 and my riding skills instantly improved. Probably with the extra traction gained with the softer power. Guess thats why the extreme enduro guys use a 250 more often than not. A bit more forgiving but the same power is there if you wind it up a bit more.
- this aging body was finding the instant mega off idle power of the 300 a bit tiring at times. Usually late in the day when trying to avoid the singletrack trees with the slightest crack of the throttle or multiple attempts trying to find traction on hills and in the real slow slick stuff.
