Advice Needed
So I am looking at a couple motorcycles and I need a little help.
Both are Road Kings. The first is a 2015 Twin Cam with 16000 miles the other is a 2022 M8 with 19000 miles. Price wise the 2022 is $2000 more. Both are two tone paint jobs, no windshields, no tour packs, both look like they have aftermarket mufflers but maybe not full exhaust systems. Both have stock air cleaner covers, not sure about the elements inside them. Other than the model year and engine model differences they are pretty equal from what I can see.
Question is between them which would you look at first to check out and make sure everything is on the up and up before buying?
Thanks in advance

When I started looking to trade my 2010 Ultra I found that the 21 model year for the M8s ushered in some nice improvements. If it was a 2017 - 2019 I might be a little on the fence, but I'd take a 2022 over any twin cam any day.

I'll be selling a 2002 Fat Boy that I've owned since new, but am not even making an attempt until spring in this part of the country.

I Used to have a TC 103 and now own a 2020 M8 - the power is night and day better with the M8. The one you are looking at is also going to have the upgraded oil pump (which was introduced in the 2020 model year) so no sumping issues with that version.
Get the m8 - like someone else said it will be the best $2K you ever spent.
