Hi Ian - I remember talking to on here you a while ago when you still had the 300..
I think I'm too addicted to the power to get another 200 or 250f I think the power helps my riding style as well - very few gear changes and power to overtake people on the flat.
I'd consider a 250gasser for my next bike but not a 200. It's odd people assume I woudl be faster through the woods on a smaller bike but I feel faster on the 300 than on my KTM 200 in tight woods - just smoother more useable power and of course better brakes, clutch and suspension.. (of course)
My only problem really seems to be this stalling and balance/speed at the exit of turns or entry to hills.
