RE: OLD AND NEW
The "OLD" is a panhead
The "NEW" is a shovelhead
If the "right" deal happens along, I would opt for an EVO Ultra, but wouldn't take long to figure out how to $$ a 124" for it. BUT, until then, if the 2 I have won't get me there, then I guess I really didn't need to go.

RE: OLD AND NEW
I like the looks of the older bikes but prefer the dependability of the newer ones. I've never ridden anything older than a 75 honda CB550 so I cant comment on the quality of the ride of something from the 50's or 60's. My compromise is to change the looks of my 01 RK so it looks like a 58 Duo Glide with a springer front, that way I got the look of an old bike but keep the reliability of a new bike.

RE: OLD AND NEW
I've ridden a '46 knuck, a '48, '52, and a '56 pan, '69 and '75 shovel, my '85 Shovel/Evo, '96 Evo, and a '03 Two Cam. I really like the old bikes, and I don't think I would go newer than the Evos.
