I used to worry about the speedometer, but after a while, you'll use the tach to know where your speed is at if necessary. I love having a clock on the gauge cluster now. The turn signal lamps on the dash are a little dim for daylight but you get accustomed to that too. I haven't noted any discomfort with the seat, but I'm 5'9". The 250 would wear on me after a few hours. I can ride the 300 for hours on end without issue. I hated the kickstand at first, but I realized it takes up less floor space in my garage than the 250 did. It's partly from the kickstand and partly from where the mirrors are mounted. Enjoy the new ride!

Btw, there is already a thread about what's interchangeable between the new-gen 250 and the 300.
