I will say that the Beta parts supply has been stellar. Build quility is topnotch as well.

Interesting to see they produced it since they gave dealers little info leading to the intro. I love the four-stroke's they make and can't wait to see and ride the two-strokes. I'am sure there will be bugs to work out but should be exciting.

That 2.1 gallon tank is pretty small.

Carb access on most bikes is miserable. Look at a KTM, you can barely see the cylinder from the left side. We are just lucky.

Edit:

Looking at the pics it doesn't look bad at all. Also, you can see the rear of the starter motor on the right side. On the left you can see the ignition cover extended on the bottom, so maybe it is just another dry interface unless they run a wet ignition. That would be a first.

Carb access looks pretty easy to me. It is also pretty easy on a KTM. And if you do need to remove the tank it is very quick and simple. I can usually work on my Gasser or KTM trail side without removing the tank though. Looks like the Beta has lots of extra room for a larger tank. They left lots of space where the Gasser tank drops down. I like to have enough for a 2 hour race but most of the time I prefer a smallish tank. Where we normally ride we do not get more than a few miles from the trucks. I use the big tank when we ride Colorado. I notice they are using 36mm carbs which should jet leaner than a 38 and get better mpg.

Yeah, certainly looks like opportunity for more fuel in a creative tank design. I avoid trail side jetting as much as possible here, as there is almost always some mud to get in where it should not be.
