I'm totally happy with the 250 for what I need it for. Will the 300 satisfy this need for power to pass? is 20-25% power increase worth $2500(after I sell my 250 in spring)?
The 300 will not satisfy your "power to pass"

It does have more power, but it will not lunge forward much quicker than a 250

You would most likely pefer a bigger vtwin like a 650. Torque is what your looking for!
