Poul,What the 300 feels like to me is(I have ridden Stephens as well) when it getts to 9,000 rpm the power starts to drop off ,if you look at the middle graph the green line starts to drop off but on the blue it starts to get steeper at 10'000rpm,now it might not look much on paper but its very noticeable when you ride both.To make the 300 feel like a 250 it would need to make 80 bhp at 11'000 rpm then the line from 50bhp/9'000rpm to 80bhp/ 11'000 would look as steap as the 250 line.In fact the difference feels a restricted 45bhp NSR against a pull power 60bhp NSR were the restricted ones drops off at 9'000rpm.
