Remember opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink.&nbsp\\;

Do your homework/research, take a test ride if it is used (they usually let you), make sure the bike fits you and what you intend to use it for and if it works get it.

I've had both so IMO EVO/Twin Cam are both good motors (I'm sure there are plenty of folks who think different but remeber my first statement).&nbsp\\; I have had both so I can tell you the stock TC pulls harder than the EVO.&nbsp\\; But then again I sold a TC to get an EVO, go figure.&nbsp\\; It is all about what you like and how you'll be riding it.

Good Luck
