I dont know about easier. But you could say that. The 300 is way more luggable than the 250. Its almost like a 450 down low. But watch out for when it gets on the pipe. Can you say back flip? More or less its got 450 power with less weight. If your comfortable on a 250 you will love the 300. It doesnt take long to get used to it.So it looks/sounds like a 300 2smoke is EASIER to ride than a 125/250 in the trails?
