[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1020653, member: 22658"] I dont think there is a bad choice to make among those 3 bikes. I have had two 300s, and now a 05 250 (thanks to Fred T letting me ride his!) - and a 03 200 followed me home just the other day (for my son..really...not for me.... ;) ) It dont matter what I ride, I am slow compared to most of these guys...so for me it is about how much I can enjoy the ride. I absolutely loved the grunt and giggle factor of the 300 when trail riding...you could hardly ever be in the wrong gear! A real blast to ride. But I found that when I tried to push the pace, or rider longer rides or race enduros, it was tiring - like trashrider said - all that torque tuggin at ya wears you out. Keep in mind, I am a outta shape desk jockey though, so if you are athletic - this may not be an issue at all - plus I understand the 04 and newer 300s are a bit less of a hit motor than what my 00 was. At first I was disappointed with my 250 - i missed that giggle factor motor -then I discovered I was riding a faster pace, and was LESS tired. The real proof hit me at the Jackpine this year - Fred T shouts out to me "Last Check - you're done!" I was really disappointed and wanted to ride some more! (shoulda done that A section after that!) Now I absolutely LOVE that 250. I have not ridden the 200 yet - but it will be an interesting comparison for me - I do suspect I will have a hard time adjusting to the power delivery - but who knows - maybe I will try an enduro on it (gotta legalize it first though).
