The suzuki needle makes all the difference in the world the bike is very clean and strong off idle but very controllable. For me the 250 is a lot more fun to ride than a 300 - not as much fun as a 200 on flatter ground but way better on technical hills or ones that have loose rock or deep leaves. I ride in central and east Tennessee.

I too have a save the 2stroke Tshirt - it is one of my most prized possessions.
Ken, my friend,
You just haven't gotten as lazy as I have.
Chris Butler is working on me about coming up to ride with you.

You made me smile about the shirt.

Merry Christmas!
Jim
