Has anyone on here tried both? I'm just an average rider, and I'm after a bike that I can be boss of, not one that drags me around like a rag doll.

get a 200 then you will find it very easy i have a 250 evo i have ridden my mates 300 evo i also have a ty175 the ty is so predictable i have also ridden a 125 evo that was so easy to ride it was like cheating

I think you've answered your own question

I had a 200 rev3 2001 it was brilliant, I now have a evo 290 09 and I would still have a 200 (evo) now which would do all the things I can do on a 290

hi, i have a brand new 2014 250 jtg and it is incredible! it grips insanely and is ultra smooth but plenty of power past half throttle. i also rode a friends 14 300 which was also new and its also an amazing bike but if you want i bike you can be boss of go for 250. either way there are amazing bikes and the quality is far superior to the other makes out there! if you get a jtg your love it!!! ive also ridden a 2012 evo 250 and it felt like my old 125 gasser...

Chris has the 2014 300. It does have Power to burn. The 250 is a gently beast so I would start there.

Id go for the 250 as well if that's your worry. My 300 has got a lot more power than last year which was a bit of a shock for me being a Clubman rider. I've fitted a slow action throttle and richened up the mixture on the bottom a tad which has slowed it down a bit.

This weekend coming the new 125 JOTAGAS will be at Butser as well. Im going to grab a go on that.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I already new a 250 was the default choice, but having read that the '12 and '13 Jotagas 300 had really soft power, I wondered if the 250 would be totally gutless. Coming from a motocross/enduro background, it can take a little while to get your head around what makes an ideal trials bike.

The 12 was pretty soft but the 13? No that had power to spare as does the 14
