i have a 2002 250 pro and apart from the air filter requiring more attention than a new born baby it has ran trouble free. the footrest finish on the beta's put me off and the weight. but if thats all it takes to put someone off a product i think it shows there all pretty much of a muchness. test ride everything before you part with your hard earned cash and buy what suits you.the 2004 gassers have a different seat and air box inner shield they hardly let any gunge in.
