So they are not an experienced enthusiast. And this is just my opinion but most shoppers do not study and research before buying their first bike, unlike members on this forum.
I am aware about weight savings as my tire and wheel package weighs less than my oem forged wheels. See, you and I research and know a lot of detail. I wouldn't say that about most shoppers that go into the dealerships.

The difference between the 250 and 300 is great especially when comparing looks and fuel injection. I've been riding since I was 8 and since fuel injection came along I wont even consider a carburated bike but that's my opinion. I think theirs enough interest in the market for both bikes and at the end of the day its going to come down to what you like and can afford. If your financing and can only get approved for enough money for a 250 than that's what you have to get.

I see the 300 as being too little, too late to save Kawasaki's dominance in the small bike market in this country.

I agree with the FI 250 comment but not the dominance in the small bike market
