Me neither, but after digesting that article, and some more consideration, I could see an M8 Softail in the garage next to my '94 FLSTN in a year or two.

I've read a couple articles as well on the '18s.

What I come away with is; None of them post here at Hater-Davidson Forums. Here, is the only real negative reviews I've seen.

Now a Low Rider Convertible with detachable hard bags & Tour Pak would be a solid addition for us folks that commute on motorcycles. As it is the Low Rider with that exhaust system would limit your choice for saddlebags.

Good article, showing what influenced the designers, what they were going for, and a summary on each model.

I'm not trading in my '07 Wide Glide any time soon, but this article makes me interested in how much better the handling may be on the new Breakout and Low Rider compared to the '17s.

Harley recently renewed the trademark on the Sport Glide name. Maybe your wish will be granted.
