how many of you guys are going to dump the old Evo, and rush out to buy a brand new all singing and dancing 103 engined bike.

 

Never!!

If I want bigger cubes, I'll buy an Ultima Evo motor which is actually in my plans about a year down the road. The "all brand new singing and dancing" Twinkies only have two advantages over the Evo in my book: Better valve train geometry and the ability to get bigger CI's without boring the cases. If I'm gonna buy a new motor I might as well buy a new Evo with cases that are already bored out. Valve train geometry is fine for the lifts I will require and I can live with the extra noise of the valve train.

So Magna, when are you going to dump your Twinkie and go to an all brand new singing and dancing V60 water cooled MoCo motor?

 

I am thinking about it. Need the extra heat, so I can ride in -10° temps this winter.

 

Not me i kept my FXR for about 13 years before going for an 88 nightrain and that will probably do me till i give up riding or go underground, in fact i often wish id jumped a bit sooner and bought an evo train, they must be pretty rare now.

 

103 is plenty nice from what I have seen Just not my thing. I like my EVO just fine WP

 

I already had a newer fancy bike. Dumped it for my current bike.

 

I just got home from an 80 mile ride in 103 deg, heat. When I shut my EVO down it didn't even tic tic from the heat. My drag pipes keep saying, " I will get you home". Mine is stock except for the air cleaner and pipes, and the valve train is quiet, and for a solid mounted engine, is just pretty smooth all the way up through 75. Don't think I well be trading anytime soon.

 

If they make that new Dyna bagger, I might think about it. I put my bike in the for sale section just to see if I got any bites, and not so much as a nibble. So I will have it for a while anyways. I know many of you guys get attached to your rides. I really don't. After a few years I sell them and buy another, I'm just funny that way.

I will step up to a Road King as soon as my son is out of college (3 yrs). I will always keep my evo. Its got some noise in the valve train that got worse after the new cam went in, but it doesn't bother me. At least I can do my own wrenching on it.

 

I have an '08 FLHT and the '99 Softail. I have zero plans on ever buying a new bike. I'll keep these two going until I can no longer ride. Absolutely no desire for a new one!
