I had heard that this year's production of 1100 EVOs was already accounted for. I am glad my source was wrong since I want to see one in my garage!

I received mine (Vancouver Canada) about a week ago. Mine is in Black. I slap on the speedymoto frame slider on right away. Surprisingly they are not that noticeable. It definitely gives me a bit less worry about some bone head jumping onto my bike in the parking lot and dropping it [bang]...

that aside, i am loving it! I rode sports bikes before R6, CBR600RR and gsxr750 and in comparison i felt less confident on turning corners fast. It could just be my noobness on a more up right bike...

It wasn't designed to corner like a R6 or Gixxer so it won't corner like they do. Not to say that you won't be able to corner it fast but you can get to a point where it will protest and the former bikes would still be fine.

It comes down to the rider more than anything.  I've rarely had any trouble keeping up with most people who ride gixxahs or R6s.

Mine has none.  They've gotten 2 in so far and the second one I bought.  I put a deposit down about 3 weeks before the bike came in and got a red one which is what I wanted.

Picked it up Saturday, love it, til tidy, led tax disc holder fitted, the fitted some rental black fat bars, but they are a bit of a tight fit for the cables and lines, like the ride position though, anyone else fitted bars?
