Thank you for bringing up this point. In my entire life of buying decades worth of Dirt Bike Mag, Motocross Action, Cycle World, Cycle Guide, etc...etc... I've never until recently have seen people (online blogs mostly) compare a 250 against a 650. I mean, really? Of course a 250 isn't going to match up against something more than twice it's size, suspension and displacement.

I wonder what started this trend? It would be like saying back in the day, "We ran the Honda Elsinore 125 up against the Maico 450 and we were disappointed by its performance."
