Good job, Sam. I've been racing my Evo2R for three seasons now. It is a very easy bike to go fast on, work on, tune, and repair. Parts and knowledge are readily available in the US. The geometry can be made ideal for just about any rider. I took my bike to Computrack Atlanta last winter. Kent seemed disturbed initially when I said I had no handling issues but once he measured it, he said it was right where it should be, so we made no changes.
