TD the new bike sounds good, but I like the much slower idle of the Evos. To me, the Evo sounds like a Harley should sound.

I have a similar comparison from my Evo to my Twin Cam. I installed the idle controller on my Twin Cam to slow down the fast idle a little bit. To me it sounds like the choke is always on, like in a carb car that wouldn't kick off fast idle.

Prefer the sound of my old Evo.
The TwinCam sounds more like my Suzuki LC.
Love the Maroon/Black colour Scheme mate.
