telecat Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dropped off NYL's Gasser Last night and had a look at a 250 Evo. Bike had been picked up from John that day and was one of the first in the country. I gather that there are only about a dozen about. Jack Challoner has one and there will be a couple at the Dirt Bike show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky dicky Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I heard that there are only a few about aswell. Did it look better in the flesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo46 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Did you manage to hold back the gag reflex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 It actually looks pretty purposeful rather like the Lambo Reventon. No separate Air box cover which is a bit of a backward step and the front forks seem to have a lot more travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betarev3 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I like the look, but the rad cap and electrics box both look very vulnerable to damage. Can't figure out why that rad cap connector pipe is sooooo long also, the fuel tank is small at 2.6L. and lack of separate air box cover seems a backward step. I still can't decide whether to order one or not - think I'll wait for some feedback from early owners first. Might well be quite a few mods for next year after the new design has been trialled in anger by all the new owners.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo46 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 wicked, would be interesting to see how it go's, at the end of the day, they all look the same caked in ****, and all thats left is how well it performs! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Jack Challoner, Danny Gamble and Joel Sadler were all at Addingham yesterday riding EVO's. Winning Start for Jack on his!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabber Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 One at Rochdale yesterday. looks odd, but I think that's just because theyre so much different to everything else. Dont like the look of them to be honest. First trial i've ridden in months and there were plenty of changes with the number of new Gassers etc about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
