A 70hp NSR250 doesn't have a hole in the middle, nor does the F3 which is knocking on the door of 75hp. In fact, it's hugely tractable, far more so than a 60hp bike, far more so than an HRC RS250, and easier to ride than both too. It's using the last 5hp and 1000rpm that takes the doing!

In fact, we know people that haven't revved it much past 11,500rpm and come back and said they didn't need to as it just had so much drive. What they mean is they couldn't ride any more than 70hp!

Actually, even those who've ridden my 250 have all remarked, without fail, at just how much drive it has too. The NSR is unlike any other 250 2-stroke. To a lesser (3XV) or greater (RGV) degree, all of the others will lose more and more mid-range as you tune them.

The 300 will however, out-grunt just about any 250. The more stock each is though, the more noticeable the 300 is. The more you (equally) tune them, the less the difference. You do however reach a point of diminishing returns with the 300 far sooner than you do with the 250. We've proven it time and time again. The 300 hits a brick wall at a TRUE 70hp. Getting power after that is very hard work, as is getting RPM. If they rev, they don't make power and they lose the mid-range... if you keep the mid-range, they won't rev.
