Done a couple of hundred miles since getting the bike sorted, 80 miles today. Mostly b roads, some horrible single track potholed with traffic coming other way. I'm a bit rusty so each trip has felt like 1st trip of the. Season which probably puts a negative spin on my findings but here goes.

Overall I'm a tad disappointed but that may be down to me as I've been recently diagnosed with mild vertigo which could be affecting my balance.

Fast A roads and dual carriageways.

Bike is a joy to ride, love it

Fast B roads and twistes.

Suspension seems a little harsh. I had specs on (waiting for new contacts) which were bouncing on my nose and a little off putting. Bike handled well but found myself in too high a gear too many times

Single tracks-terrible road surfaces

Bike was a PIA but I've always disliked these, only on them due to enforced diversion of a diversion

So, I can't say I love the Evo yet but I think and hope I'll grow to love it.
Think I need to adjust suspension and maybe invest in a gear indicator
