Which sounds different than an EVO or Shovel or Pan. They all have their own characteristics. I honestly believe if you have to consider it that bad, you'll not be happy until you do. I would rent one for a few days and then decide. I like the power and they are smooth, but I really like my TC. One day I might do a 107 upgrade, but I don't see me buying a new one for any reason beyond I need a new bike. I don't, so I won't.

i think you keep what you have, and enjoy it.

put a few bucks in savings, and a few in the motor.

next summer, put that motor & money in the wind, and go see the country on YOUR personalized bike.
and your history with the bike to old men at country stores
