[QUOTE="redrider58, post: 35125, member: 375"] Well, I finally have 10hrs on the motor and wow! This motor can kick hard. Everyone has been telling me that I should have bought the 300. But to be honest, I am glad I went with the 250. I have all the power I want; just twist the throttle some more and your good to go and if I want torque, I can just hop on the 450.
