My 300 has stopped dieing completely whereas 2 weeks ago it died at every stop, no idea what caused that change.

The 300 lights are better. It's odd its not dieing any more. None of the 300's I have had the dieing problem.

So you prefer the 250s suspension over the 300s???

For normal riding yes even doing some spirited rides on the weekend it has served me well. Now for track days the 2 I have done so far the 300 is far better stock

Interesting distinction...

Now the bigest thing the 250 is doing better then the 300 is staying togeather. I went on a ride with another 300 owner and it was sad how much the farings don't stay in place. Or how rusted my pipe got in such a short time and to top off the other fact his bike keept dieing at stop lights. It's better in every way but the stock head lights

Impulsive much?

Hence why you are impulsive... Wouldn't it had been a better idea to buy only one to test the waters with eh? Still confused?

At the same time we got my wife the older 250 I got the 300 for the street to ride along with her once she got better at riding and was not droping the bike she was going to take over the 300 and I was going to get a 848 EVO well she hates riding and so I got stuck with all of them

Sorry to hear that she doesn't like riding, it would have been a fun activity to share.

I wanted to get my wife to try it, but so far the only thing she has tried was my old Honda Express moped. She loved it though.

Not a bad problem to have!

Concorse-14 is super nice, I want one as a second bike. They are pretty pricey out here and not many used ever, people hold onto them usually. They have some brand new ones around here though.
