This may be getting off topic but - do you all feel the same affection for the newer XT250s? If I had to go that route, I'm intrigued by the fuel injection but - what am I giving up?

Looks like the XT225s have gone up in value (sold my '07 for $2300 in 2010 - now the '07s are $2800 with 3,000-5,000 more miles on them). If I'm paying close to $3000 for the 225 it puts it in range of a 2015ish XT250 with EFI. Still air cooled - I agree the radiator is nothing but trouble I don't want. My 225 always stalled until warm. I like the thought of not fighting that, though giving up the simplicity and adjustability of a carb... any cautions about switching to the 250 dark side?
