My 2011 250 GASSER (stock except HOP exhaust and suzuki nedw needle) is easier to ride and requires less skill than any 300 smoker I've ever ridden except the beta xtrainer. I've owned 2 300 gassers ridden several 300 ktms and one beta 300 rr - none were even close to as easy to ride as my 250. 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.
