[QUOTE="YamaB, post: 1276136, member: 53115"] It is my impression that the yz250 basically gets cosmetic changes and minor tweaks each year, while ktm basically re-designed the whole bike for '08. You also have to consider that the ktm's come ready to race in the woods, while the yz250 is a hard core mx'er which needs quite a bit of work to get it ready for serious offroad racing. I don't know much about GasGas, so I can't comment on them. I do know that you see VERY few of them around for whatever reason. This is my 4th season of competitive racing and I would consider myself a fairly skilled rider. I'm probably faster than most, albeit the AA guys still make me look stupid. As for power, I prefer a smoother power curve w/ loads of torque over a motor w/ a lot of HIT. I've owned a yz250 and kx250 which both had a very big HIT. Lots of fun on the mx track but a handful in the tight woods that I usually race in. Not that my 300 lacks straight line power. My 300 definitely doesn't FEEL that fast due to the smooth power delivery, but I don't have any trouble keeping up with 450 4t's on long straights. I've owned Yamahas, Hondas, Kawasakis, and Ktms. I don't have any particular brand loyalty, albeit I used to be a die hard Yamaha guy (see my screen name). So far the orange bikes have been the most reliable and over-all my favorites. [/QUOTE]
