I would rather see the Evo forum under classics then engines.

Less than half of the topics in the Evo section are engine related.

See for yourself

Hmmm, I also suggested that two days ago. But fellow HDForums member Rounders seemed to think that was a bad idea.

So what do you think is the poop in his meatloaf, The fact that he’s realizing he overpaid for his latest bike and EVO’s do it all for a quarter of the money? Or maybe its some way to feel like an elitist and you’ve got more going on for yourself to have the latest and greatest?

Maybe there should be a section for “Snobs” instead of trying to find a spot for classics?

M8 Bike 40k + 131 - price per horsepower $381.67

EVO 4k + 131 El Bruto- price per horsepower = $64

Yeah… let’s look down our nose at those fools riding EVO’s

To some that may make sense. However like other times in HD history the EVO is a start and end point. A Harley yes but a class all it's own. EVO refers to more than the engine. One can argue that no other period of HD's history played a more important role in HD becoming what it is now. Many would agree with out the EVO there would be no HD today.
Some on this forum were born and started riding after the last new EVO was produced. To them a RK is a RK But a TC or M8 RK is a different bike.
Really liked my TC's 96,103's like both my M8's. But my 1996 EVO FB is the only bike that has not and will never leave.

PS: Of course they followed a different road with the Sportster.
