I've got an '05 and really like it. It can be a bit hard to get parts for it here in the States, and expensive too, but I think in the EU it's much easier and cheaper (dealer markup over here is crazy). I've got some info about them here: http://www.betamotorcycles.net
Just got my motard wheels for it, haven't mounted them yet though.

Hey, not sure if this still matters, but:
It seems to be pretty good out of the box for motard. The front is divey, but what dirt bike isn't? The Marzocchis seem to be adjustable enough to compensate a bit. Only big problem I've had is chatter on the rear when backing it in, but I haven't adjusted the rear suspension at all yet so I'm hoping dialing in a bunch of rebound damping will help that. The handling is razor sharp, maybe a bit loose in the front end but not jittery, at least not with a Scotts damper.
FYI, if you want a 320mm front brake, the Husky rotors (WR250/TE450/TE510/etc) will fit. Not sure about the relocation bracket, should know in a week.
