I like screaming a 250 - it's what all the fun is about in my opinion, but if you'd ever ridden Matt's 300 then you would almost certainly be a convert; the thing is insanely fast!!
The benefit of the kit, aside the power and torque, is the fact you are also getting BRAND NEW Honda barrels and components to bolt on to the motor.
The downside for me is that it makes for a bit of a "lazy" ride. You can often be a gear up, or in the (usually) wrong part of the rev-range, and the bike will just pull you out of trouble! Mind you, keep a 300 at around 10,000rpm and you will be bloody flying! I still prefer to scream a manic 250 though!
