After passing my DAS on the 17th july, i've been looking for a new toy.

I was going for a honda cbr 600 FS which was up at 2800, but it needed new disk pads, a rear tyre there was no service history and 20k this thing made the cbr look like an old dog sat next to it and i couldnt resist lol.

Nice bike, but the Evo 5 is a slice of pure car porn.

Only two cars in the world are sexier than an Evo V

An Evo VI
A Lancia Delta Integrale

Nice bike by the way. Very clean example

Costs a fortune to run, tax, insure, service etc lol.

mine started life as a 5 and ended up looking like a 6 with a tme front bumper. spent hours and hours and hours stripping it, repainting it etc it was pretty much finished some bellend went into the back of it while parked up outside work, from there on, I really couldnt be arsed playing with cars anymore. lol.

As gorgeous as the old Evo's are.. (the post VI models are just NOT the same) the bike will be faster (except around corners) more fun (especially round corners) and HUGELY cheaper to run, tax, insure. Easier to park, no more waiting in traffic jams, As nice as an evo sounds... 14krpm sounds nicer.

Don't feel bad about losing the evo.. feel good about managing to find something better!

Well the evo went today to his new owner, one last pic whore session before he went.

https://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs003.snc4/33490_464409133312_593758312_5932201_7495118_n.jpg

The zx6r absolutly raped the evo from stand still, even with a launch, bless it. I actually drove it tonight and it just felt slow in comparison.

Oh well, im more than happy with the ninja, loads cheaper to run, tax, insure and faster too. Just need to get my cornering as good as i could in the evo and im all good lol.
