I have a 250 Pursang left that I vintage MX with...
...and an Alpina set up for vintage Trials...
I have a few hulks left for parts, but have sold-off my two Fronteras, Matador, and long-travel Pursangs.
Two things...
1) Too much pullback can play havoc with your hands/wrists.
2) Try a larger diameter grip - like a basic Oury waffle. (Gel grips can actually make you squeeze harder.)
3) Ibuprofen 20 minutes before your ride works wonders.
4) Try a looser fitting glove like a Mechanix Wear...

I have worn glasses since 1968. (I'm 44) I also have an Astigmatism. I am having real problems driving at night, too. I'm also not a very good candidate for Lasik - based on consultations.
I've tried Randy's (ProVue) goggles and I can't wear them. The problem for me is with the corective...
I believe they make the same horsepower - but the extra displacement makes for a wider powerband and increased torque. The 250s I've ridden revved quicker with more 'hit.'
