2016 yz250x vs 300xc

[maverick_26]

Hey guys i'm stuck on which bike I should get. I'm looking at getting a 2016 2 smoker. I've had an 06 and 07 yz250 and I loved both of them.  So now i'm stuck, yamaha is coming out with the x model yz250 this year. But i've heard many great things about the 300xc and xcw.  Has anyone owned both bikes. I do alot of racing around and trail riding. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Which way did you end up going? I'm in the same situation.

I came off of a 2011 300xc and loved the engine but did not like the suspension. I bought a new yz250x and the engine is not as potent but still runs awesome and the suspension is much better. My main reason for switching was the kyb sss suspension and it's great.
