Totally stupid question...  What is the difference between the standard Monster, and the EVO?  I'm seeing different footpegs, and a different exhaust.  Is that it?  ...or is there other hidden magic in there?

Lighter engine internals and special camshafts,
surely more will follow.

Much lighter and tuned engine on the EVO. Maybe not a smart thing, but fun. Claimed 100 bhp vs 90(95) on the standard and S.

Different suspension. I don't know how different or if one is better.

Electronic aids? Wheel weights? I don't know.
