We were riding in the backyard today and I snapped some pics of my Tecate and the wife's 250R. Now that I have spent some more time on the 250r today, I can definitely feel the difference in vibration between the 2. The Tecate is faster, but the 250r has a lot more bottom end. I guess if I had to explain the difference between the 2 I would say that the 250R is civilized where the Tecate just got out on parole..
