The Beta suspension in my opinion is not on the same level as the GAS GAS, it is harsh and sticky in the mid-stroke and not as forgiving as the Gas Gas. The Beta motor seemed to be geared a little lower and after installing the high compression head had a little better low end power, but did not rev out as far as the gas-gas. The Gas Gas has more of a felling of on the bike where the Beta has the feeling of in the bike. I have the Beta 300 jetting in the bike and it feels very clean from bottom to top. I have not tried the Yamaha yz jetting yet but plan on it soon.
