Every time I ride my 250 I tell myself, I need more power-I need more power, race results tell a different story, I've done better on the 250 than the 300. I'm not in very good shape, A-vet racer at 250 pounds so I can't help but think that if my conditioning was up to par the 300 would be better.

So, if you race and are light (under 200#) or out of shape, go for the 250.

If your riding area has a lot of elevation change, go for the 3 hunney.

From a FUN standpoint, the 250 gets the nod for a livelier power band and lighter handling.

I made this offer on another thread and I will repeat it here. We simply don't have enough employees to do demo rides around the country like big orange does. If anyone wants to meet me here in TN to try both out, please drop me an email at: clay@ggor.us or call me at 615 347 6519.

That's the main reason why I started using a Rekluse.
I would never waste the money on a Rekluse, if I was just recreational riding, fast or slow. But in a race, seconds count and stuff can sneek up on you in an enduro. I know the Rekluse saves me time and positions. Come on, $900 for a 2" taller plastic trophy is worth it, right?

Seems the off-road family is pretty much split down the middle concerning the Rekluse.

During last sunday's enduro I was called a cheater by another racer because of the rekluse. "Oh well", I said, "mind your own business!"

Do what "YOU" want regardless of what others say about it.

The only reason someone would say something like this is if they wanted one but couldn't afford one!

At the end of the day bike setup is a personal preference. Some people like steering stabilizers, others don't. Doesn't mean one setup is better than any other. Its just what works for you.

Next thing you know they'll be saying we're all cheaters because we're riding Gassers Plus we all know factory racers with top of the line suspension and engine mods are cheating aswell..
