My 1985 Softail (carbeurated Evo) had 134,000 miles before I "retired" it in 1994. Most of them were with my "ol lady" sitting right behind me. We were both in the USAF stationed at Guam when we ordered it to be picked up in Fortt Worth, Texas at the Harley dealer there. She made every one of the payments from her own paycheck. I stopped riding it when the Stator in the alternator quit and her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) only a few days apart from each other. The "fun" of riding that particular bike just didn't seem to be there anymore. Even as her disease progressed, she still swore that she would get to ride again. In early 2015 I found and bought a 1986 police bike. I had the intention of building a sidecar that she would be able to roll up on in her wheelchair. She was watching from the front door with a grin bigger than Texas as I rode up to the house. Life kinda got in the way of actually getting on the sidecar that summer and sadly, on December 15th, 2015, she lost her battle with MS. I suddenly had another bike that to me at least, just wouldn't be much fun to ride. Her life insurance was enough to pay off the house and still enough left to pay cash for a 2016 HD FLRT, the trike called the Freewheeler. So yes, in essence she bought my first new Harley and my last new Harley. I carry a small urn (only a couple inches tall) with some of her ashes in it, everywhere I ride. She finally is getting the ride she so desperately wanted, even though she is riding her own, ultimate tricked out bike, with her grandmother behind her and they're seeing things up there we can't even imagine.

I had an 1990 Heritage Softail that I did four transcontinental runs on,that is west-east east-west ×4 times plus numerous runs around Western Australia without as much as a screwdriver in my pack, the bike was serviced religiously but it ridden and ridden hard everywhere it went.In fact Harley Davidson have returned to an Evolution type bottom end in the new eight valve engine.Pervious to my Evolution I owned an 80 cubic inch 1980 Shovelhead that was also a relatively reliable bike but I would not dare travel very far on without some spare parts and a roll of tools.As for the 2020 lineup you are right THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO.

Arguably, the best engine Harley ever made, here's why, metal gears for the single cam opertation, and a bolted together crankshaft, and a separate oil pump not running on the pinion shaft. Forget the Twinkies with their chain drives and PLASTIC cam tensioners and a pressed together crankshaft that can twist out of true, thus ruining the oil pump and cratering the engine.....EVOS RULE!

During the AMF years, Harley’s reputation went down because 50% of their bikes had defects during production. The EVO is a damn good engine & I wish they would bring the EVO back again. I’m not a fan of the twin cam engines, more things to break & more complex to work on. The EVO motors were simple, reliable & with some mods, they make some decent power & torque figures.

Really nice bike. I have a 95 flstn. Only choke carbureted bikes long enough to get them started say 20 30 seconds. Any longer will fouled plugs and you will get that splattering that you were starting to hear when you first took off. Also they should be warmed up properly depending upon ambient temperature 3 to 5 minutes. Saddle Tramp traded his twin cam for an EVO title for title about 6 months ago. A lot of people are doing that. I would rather have the Evo. Sounds better than the twin cam as well. The only thing that sounds better than an EVO is a shovel.

A carburetored EVO is about the easiest later day HD for riders with average mechanical skills to work on. I'm a survivor of the AMF/Voit days so I had to learn how to wrench my own bikes. The only thing I'll say good about AMF/Voit is that they built a 'Confederate' version of the Super Glide in 1977. My '97 FLHR will run all day at 80mph with my wife on the back and gear in the saddle bags and always get us back home.

I would definitely have purchased this Mad Max machine if I didn't own the 2001 Dyna Wide Glide I bought from Srkcycles last year. And Sean there are test ride videos that YOU get EVO transformed and the machine speaks through you! This is one of those videos and it's impressive from an old school " pscho " ( as you say ) perspective. It was the same way when I watched the 2001 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide test ride ( about 20 times in a row through my 1,000 watt sound system ) last year and BOOM, the Cro Magnon instinct to pursue and conquer kicked in and the rest is history .... kind of like the Cro Magnon LOL . I wanted that Dyna as bad as the kid back in the day standing outside a department store looking and staring in awe at a Schwinn Stingray on display in the store window ! You tha man brother.

you know. I really love my '91 FXRS, the motor takes a while to warm up, you get rolling and so much stuff starts happening, the sound of the motor is right, the wind in the hair is right, you get busy really quick, and then when you look down at the speedo you're doing 40. it takes a while to get up to speed but once there everything somehow meshes. The suspension feels great, the purr of the motor doesn't vibrate you into tomorrow, it's a really really nice cruiser. Unfortunately in the mountains the Carb does have issues but that's OK, it reminds me of driving my Mom's 1973 VW Super Bug in that in order to make it to the top of the next hill at speed you've got to come down the last one as fast as you dare so the momentum carries you through. Does it compare to my 103" or 114" Road Glide? For touring no but for that visceral affect riding there's no comparison

I've got a 99 Fatboy Evo/Carb that I bought back in 2001. Love it! Never a problem. I'm 66 years old now and have had a stoke and some other issues and don't have the balance to ride it anymore. Only 20K on it. I miss riding it, but it still sits in my garage and I fire it up now and then.

It takes few minutes to get warmed up and fun smooth with the carb and all. I have an 88 FXSTC and just got a new belt, shifter lever, and rocker boxes. It's a lot of fun and I love it.

'88 EVO Softtail, 2nd new HD, lasted the longest @ literally no mechanic issues ! Sold to someone I knew @ 125K, they're still riding it. It went through a handful of ign switches, and the typical tires, batteries. A low RPM sensor went off when it was new, replaced & no more issues ! Wish I had another.....driving a '06 Police RK now that needs the cams adjusted every 10mns @ BIG BUCKS !

I ride an 03 sportster almost every day. I installed a hammer 1275 kit in it. It bought an 883 with plans of doing the big bore kit. I think it sounds better than most Harleys I encounter. It's fun to ride with the extra power. Evo was what saved Harley Davidson

I know this is a old video but i got a chuckle when you made the comment about Fuel Injection failing. I no a fellow who bought a used bike years ago that came out with fuel injection when Harley 1st put it on their bikes. He didn't have it 1 day before it took out on him long story short the dealership had to buy the bike back because they couldn't get the parts needed to fix it. They wound up giving him a different bike. I do like the old carb bikes but i wouldn't give up fuel injection after having it all these years.

The only probably with the evos was with the softails they were rigid mounted and the engines were not counterbalanced. They vibrated a lot.

You need eyeware , protective morcycle gear , watch for pot holes , rubbish , blown tire tread ...choke on too long only fouls the plug and top of piston valves particularly exhaust. But the nightrain is my personal favourite. Have a look at the Porsche Harly guys in Germany.
