Since buying used I lean to TC. I don't want early models. So for I went with last of TCs.
I have no fear of not getting parts for a long time. It's my newest bike. Haven't sold my others cause I can't maintain.
10-15 year when I buy another, it will be M8

It really depends on which you like best, either is reliable. Parts will always be a crapshoot eventually, but not a game stopper. The M8 is smoother and more powerful than the Twinkie as the Twinkie is more powerful than the EVO. BUT, as Harley refines and “improves” their engines, they also refine some of the soul that made us fall in love with Harleys away.
My ride this summer was that I followed the Great Race from St Augustine Fl to Colorado Springs Co. I drove the support truck/trailer for a 1932 Ford that was in the race. I put a bike on the trailer so I could ride back after the race. I know, long time getting to the point. The point is, I chose an EVO FXRT/RLE rig for the 2600 mile ride back. It’s just so much fun to ride and isn’t that the point?
Pick the one that speaks to you.

Twin cams are for gear heads that are mechanically inclined, m8s are for the less than mechanically inclined.
