The Kawasaki dealers would like to tell you the 300 is a completely different bike
The only way you could be more partial to the 250 is if you like the looks better. Unlikely

The 300- it just the next step of improvements to the two fifty
Improvements on the same platform

Gussets in the same old frame. Tuned the same suspension a little, new fairing kit looks larger "like a 600". nicer gauge cluster, fuel injection, exhaust is piped a little different.

And bigger bore with different ECM maps

Oh slipper clutch which can be forgiving on aggressive down shifting.

Nicer tires stock on the 300

300 comes w a rear higher stock

So it is just a noticeable bit better in every possible way

I spent a couple hundred miles on both.

They are not worlds apart.

I couldn't justify selling my 250 and spending the money on a 300.

I think of it like this

Dating a girl and I find out she has a younger hotter sister who is more fun...

Probably not worth it to dump her and upgrade starting from scratch lol

I am still ridding my 250.

Then again unlike girls I got to try the 300 out for a bit before I stuck w my 250 haha
