H-D really needs to modernize.

Evidently you havent looked at a Harley Davidson since the introduction of the EVO. With fuel injection, that motor is bullet prof.

You mean the Evo motor that still uses a separate transmission, which adds weight, complexity, cost and size? The one they are in the process of dumping in favor of the Milwaukee Eight?

I’d rather have a Victory/Indian. More modern design and more US made parts. Lots of Chinese bits on a Harley these days.

The Evo was introduced in 1984, so it's not exactly new. I test rode one of the very first Softails back then. It had a kick starter and chain final drive. I later bought a 1985 FXSB Low Rider that had the Evo, but it still had the old chassis with the 4 speed and kick starter. It's probably a collector's item now, as only that one year came in that exact configuration. I had a lot of fun on that bike.

As long as it is going fast enough to keep those jugs cool. I hate stopping at stop lights and I only have a 96".
