After looking and test riding everyones bike out, and talking to several riders/DRN members I bought a 09 XC 250. (Sorry Don it is not Blue, it took months for my tailbone to heal.) No more sharing with Bruno on the 300. He does not share very well.
I currently have the bike in my dining room to bond with. I thought it was too clean to be in the grungy garage. Have not even started it, but the boy keeps pushing the e-button.
I decided on this bike because of the transmission. TJ did some checking for me and the gears are a closer match to the CR250 I used to ride and liked. On the 300, I wanted a gear between 1st and 2nd in the tighter woods.
Buying this bike I thought it would be the same as the XCW but with a different transmission but I guess not. I need to buy a different rear fender to be able to bolt the tail light up. It did not come with an ODO. That I am really disappointed and I will need to get one. and the stock one from an XCW is costly. Anyone have a used one for sale? There are a few other differences but nothing I am upset about like the ODO.
I will post some pictures once I get it all the add-ons on it.
