I my opinion, seems to be that this is the consequence of a series of
misunderstandings:

Normally, the first thing "people" do, is mount a racing airfilter, open up
the exhaust, intake, perforate the airbox like an emmentaler (swiss
cheese) and/or mount a $$$ aftermarket titanium/carbon muffler that adds
another so-and-so much horsepower. Because those people need every single
bit of their bike's power delivery since they always operate it at the
utmost maximum all the time, no matter at what noise level.

Well consider that in this instance we are specifically talking about
an XR250...
I would most definitely need all it had to offer and probably a bit
more. I would use up about every ounce of a CRF 250 as well. But that
would about be my limit. I certainly don't/can't use all of my 300
very often. :) My 300 has passed every sound check it's ever been
through, but I wouldn't mind if it were even quieiter.
