FWIW, I think that a 300cc twin would have some real advantages over a 250cc single. 50cc more displacement, more horsepower and twin cylinders so less vibration. On the other hand, a thumper usually has more low end torque and is a simpler machine. I respect anyone who decides he wants the more complex bike. Maybe he needs that extra high end horsepower. I'll stick with my relatively simple 250cc thumper. Oh, and I will still curse the chore of adjusting those exhaust valves.
