Would love to ride a Jotagas but I don't have access to one and I hate to buy one since they are so new on the market (unproven). I have spent some time on a Beta 300 (2012) and I like it but..... nearly impossible to find neutral with the engine running, clutch is really different from the Gasser and I have some concernes about being a test case for a brand new frame. The power delivery on the Beta is way different too. Softer off the bottom which might help in the mud, not so much when I am dumb and get too close to a BIG log and need the pop NOW. Love how short the Beta turns, they say the newer (12+) Gassers turn some shorter as well.
Steve, tell me what you like better about the Beta clutch.
Shercos are nice but it seems like there are some reliability ussues that I'm not sure I want to deal with and frankly the new yellow frame is butt ugly IMHO.
Thanks for the input,
Craig
