696 to 1100 Evo is like comparing chalk and cheese, my wife had 1 & I loved riding it, I bought the Evo as it was the last of the air-cooled and had better low grunt than the new water-cooled monsters. it surprised me when I rode it that it was a completely different bike compared to the way the 696 rode etc, it just needed a fair bit of re jigging of engine running and suspension to make it a real good bike.
