As for the bike feeling under powered I was much more conscious of keeping the revs in the powerband and shifting a lot. I still coast too much and use the brakes too often but I remembered why I liked riding my old 250 so much. Nobody passes you on the infield. I was weaving through traffic and only getting passed on the straights-- front straight, between T1 and T2 and between T9 and T10. It was fun.
I think that I'm going to concentrate riding the 300 for the beginning of the season. I really do still suck and should be going much faster by now. The 300 forces me to be smooth and consistent which I'm not and to go deeper and carry more speed which I don't. Those things are slowing me down and keeping me from making the next step.
