Hi Pipedreams.
As you already have an EVO you are well ahead of me in understanding the Vostok.
I watched the prerelease info on the EVO with envy but I had just bought a Bianca and couldn’t justify another upgrade so quickly.
I have since bought a Baby, a Caravel and a CT1.
I also have an Argos on order.
I was never fazed by the “flex” debate about the EVO but I wasn’t a fan of the side styling and the group always seemed big compared to the body.
I have seen multi group Vostoks and they have always looked spectacular so when ACS announced a one group Vostok I was in.
The auto finish/de-pressure valve is icing on the cake.
Whether I use it or not it is there.
I hope that the rotary pump is either quieter or a different noise to the gear pump.
The timber options have me in a quandary.
I want black sides and back with a polished SS front but will probably end up with Rosewood sides.
I just hope I can remove the sides and still have a clean look without the wood.
It will all be overkill for my 2-3 shots a day but a lot cheaper than a new motorbike.
