I'm no gun rider.. but I feel like I have learnt more because of it.

I agree with the above comments for sure. After spending 5 years on the GG 125 and transferring those skills over to a 250 2t it was a weapon for sure. But like most things once you learn proper technique, you generally keep it. So transfer those same skills over to a 300 and you have something! You would be amazed what you can make a 300 do with less work than a 250 or just a bit better than on the 250. Or just less tired at the end of a long ride/race. They are both great displacements, but anyone I know that goes 300 never returns to the 250. Even though I enjoyed all 350 hours I put on my 250, it was a stepping stone. Now on my 3rd 300. I also think age, fitness and body size play a role too.
