Not a thing wrong with a good runnin' Evo. Sure. They aren' as quick when stock but they can always be upgraded.
I wouldn't have any problem picking up one of the last Evo Softail's. All the bugs had been worked out by then.
How many miles on the motor? What's the overall condition? Does it need lots of TLC or just a bit? Does it leak or burn oil? Paint condition? Any motor work been done to it? If so who did it?

Other than that, cubic inches, internal oil pump, EFI, and about 300 other little items depending on the year.
As time goes on HD has been trying to make the bikes more owner friendly with farther apart service intervals and more electronic gizmo's everywhere.

13K on bike...one owner Adult owned, well maintained.....obviously just not rode very much. Lowered, some mods...good price. I just don't want to get a bike that has chronic problems from the factory nor one I can not get many parts for.
How do the EVO's sound compared to the TC's?

Evo's sound better than the TC's in my humble opinion. More Harley-like if you know what I mean.

Evo's are great motors, lots of information out there to go from mild to wild depending on your budget. Lots of carb, and cam options. The aftermarket is a little light now on exhausts (due to age ) but anything that will fit a twin cam softail will mount to an Evo motor as they have the same port demensions, you may just have to fabricate a mounting bracket or two.

I'd say it depends on how long you plan on owning this bike. Considering they don't use the EVO's any more, and they stopped making the night train last year. This could be a real nice collectors item. 10 years from now It could be worth alot more.
If you like the bike, I'd say go for it.
