I'm 6'3" 240 and wear XL Klim Togwotee bibs. They are plenty long and leave room to move on the sled although the XXL may fit you better at 275. Great performance and keeps you dry. I can't comment on personal experience with the Motorfist gear, but I don't remember any big guys promoting their fit.
I bought my klim extreme bibs last year, awesome product. They have a ton of sizing options, however I would recommend trying them on before buying. I thought I was a "medium" (and am with other brands), but with Klim I found the "large short" fit me better.
Ups and Downs
Without simply repeating what others have said, MF bibs seem to fit a little slimmer than Klim. Its a great fit for a thinner guy,without the extra added material that might come from bumping up to a bigger size. But I wouldn't have my heart set on a particular bib or pant until you try both Klim options. Some people actually prefer the shorter more "pant-like" fit after trying them on, especially if you are a little rounder in the midsection. Don't sell out the extreme bib until you try it on. The Togwotee bib is the top of the line though, so if thats more comfortable, run it. One last note, the motorfist clothing line has been made out of a very different material than some others. So if matching is important, don't expect a motorfist black pant to match another company's black jacket. Maybe bring your jacket in to see what it looks like with your pants.

one thing i do know is that i want uninsulated bibs, i want the layered one...
Klim offers both insulated and uninsulated, their website explains them in detail

i bought a pair of motofist and love them and there bluebird warranty is un real i had a seam unstich and they sent me a new pair and they let me keepmy old ones until the new ones showed up warm and dry all winter love them
hopefully they both will be at Syracuse in a few weeks i can try them out
They will be, downstairs at the big Bristow's booth. You can compare them side by side, try on as many different combinations as you like. Ask for Mike Bristow. Old guy, very fun to deal with. He'll set you up!
thanks for the info. both look good just want to see what the $100 diff is between them
I would not wait until you get to Haydays to figure this out. What you get for the extra $100.00 may not be visible.
Both companies make great products!!! I have and always will ride with Klim. MotorFist uses Event technology where Klim sticks with GoreTex. Either way you decide the results should be great. Maybe look @ the differences between the event versus GoreTex technology!

I saw something like that at Troy Johnson's shop back in Feb when I was in Alpine.
I do believe the one I saw did say that it was Gore-tex.
