Hi, I need some advice on the Evo 2009 v's 2010 ?

I rode the 2010 Evo's, 200cc, 250cc and 290cc at the BVM test day and thought they were all good,

but, are they worth paying over

unless your names toni b I don't think you would tell the difference ? apart from the new bike would run a bit tighter being that its a new bike.. which is always deceiving its funny when people go to test days and hop on next year bike and comment on how well it runs and how the power is different I think about 80% is down to it being a new bike I bet if you ran a 2010 bike thats half a season old along side an 09 thats half a season old that ran in similar grades and were both say 250's I don't think you would spot the difference

There is a good few little updates both during the year and with the new 10, I wouldn't think the difference would make anyones results that better. Get a really good condition one and thats a saving of a grand, no contest.

Thanks for your comments, looks like the 2009 it is ........

Anyone else got anything to add ?

Cheers.

There's nothing like a brand new bike?

yes, I know the feeling, had a brand new 4rt, but depreciation on any new bike is savage in year 1, especially if you dont get out a lot on it ???

Do I know you?

if you can afford to buy a new bike why even consider a second hand one?

When's your latest one up for sale Dabster? I was thinking of having it to do the SSDT on, will you have it run in for me?

There's not much wrong with a bike I can clean Surrender on & AG can't.

Just out of interest Perce, did you clean Surrender on your Gasser as well or was the Beta easier to ride? Not starting a bike war just curious.

My bike wasn't there as I had flu, I just had a quick spin on Dabsters bike, good clean first go but a complete a*** of it second time up, as I was knackered. From memory, it took me many goes to clean it the previous year on my own bike, we were running out of daylight by the time I got it right.

Nice honest answer Perce, thanks. Good section to try a bike on as well.
