My 04been paid for years, set-up for long rides and had so many compliments last weekend during Ocean City Bike Week. Keeping it til I save enough scratch to buy straight up OTD shark....I love no payments..
My '03 with Baker DD6, Jim's 120, progressive suspension all around, swing arm fix, is not going anywhere. Although, last week I did buy a '14 CVO Breakout with 1,100 miles and some extras.
My RK is my first Harley (bought a year ago) and I have about $12k invested in the bike as it sits. I'm sure the new bikes are nice but can't justify spending more than double for a new bike. It's currently at about 8k miles so it's got a lot of life left and serves it's purpose!!
Keeping the old bike for now.
Right now there aren't enough aftermarket parts (catless headers, etc) for the M8.
Also want to see how Fuelmotos dynos come out. The stock torque curve (as in flat) on the M8 is really great and will be interested to see how hi flow air, catless header and new mufflers change it.
I have no intentions of trading, or selling my 07 RKC, to get a new M8.
If I ever do decide that it is too big of a bike for me, I will go with a
Dyna Street Bob that I will turn into a Super Glide Custom.
