Harley killed off the standard to push everybody into the higher priced machines, can't get one anywhere new now.

No, I had a deposit on one in '20. I should have followed through, I'd likely still have it. I got a Sport Glide, which is fun but just doesn't have the room and comfort of the big boys. I commute regularly with my laptop and lunch etc. That fills the bags on the Sport Glide. Plus when two up were jammed together like sardines. Hence the touring frame, and I haven't made friends with either fairing bike. Both annoy me with buffetting. I can tour without a screen here in Western Australia.

There's used RKS's all over the place. Looking at '19's especially. They have the turbine wheels (I think that's what they're called), and it's the year they jumped to the 114.
I refuse to pay in the 20's. If I see a clean one sound 18, I'll jumping on it.
I missed out on a GORGEOUS '19 in Twisted Cherry. It was loaded and he was asking 18,500. I couldn't get there fast enough...

Like others said, I wouldn't hesitate buying any 2017 107. Mine has been flawless for 60K miles.
I did change out the oil pump ($115 bucks) at 30K to do a Cam job, but it never sumped either before or after.

Yeah, there's fixes for the sumping and the migrating oil issues. Those wouldn't deter me either. I do want the 114 if I can find it. That said, if a great deal on a '17 or '18 pops up....
