Not sure how many of you get Trail Rider Magazine but they have a test in the Sept. issue of the 2010 TE250. I checked their website and didn't see it though.
I can say this the guy that went to the test loved the bike and said it is a blast to ride. He said it would be interesting to see a datalog of the throttle use, but chances are it would read 0-100-0-100, etc.
That said, on the steepest part of the test course the TE250 pulled it just fine. In identical conditions, in this one uphill turn, where the WR125 bogged hopelessly (being in the wrong gear) and the WR300 almost looped, the TE250 just pulled. Sweetly.
He loved the bike and only small complaints were seat height for tall riders was an issue but once bars moved it was alright. Also seat wasn't to comfortable.
I wish there was a link but I couldn't find it on the website. I guess this is better then nothing for now.
