Totally different, this seems to be quicker to 100mph than the Evo was evo has more once past 120 i`d say, but i wouldn`t know cus it`s still got the limiter on.

As for mods, i`ll have to see, i`ve got what i want in my head but it`s knowing who to do them, there`s so many tuners to choice from and me being newish to these i don`t know who`s who

Mate, i`ve got to admit it, it`s better than i thought, ok, build quality maybe not so good, but i love the rawness of it Paul and as i said it really flys round to a ton.....
