Do NOT walk away from an M8, RUN!!!!!!!

I've had TWO of these 'oil suckers' in 6 months.

Be better for you to buy a used or you can still find a new Rushmore.

Welcome to the Forum from about the middle of Texas. Any way here is my thought ride the Deuce one more year then buy a used m8 worth the money when the 2019 models come out.

I had a 2016 Limited 103. No complaints at all. The best Harley I had owned to that point. Put 15k miles on it in the first year.

Traded it for a 2017 CVO Limited and WOW. Of course there are a lot of nice features on the CVO and the motor is a 114. But no comparison, head and shoulders a better bike and a beast.

Frankly the two prices you posted both seem HIGH. I bought my 2017 CVO at the end of the model year. The new 2018’s were already out and the price was $34,620 plus tax, tag, dealer, Bs and all that stuff.

Good luck and happy shopping.

How bad is your luck to get not one but two bad bikes in six months. Don't walk under any ladders for awhile.

Same here got my ultra for right at 22,500 so look around dont pay for extras on a used bike dealers will give you crap for upgrades. For the number you threw at us i would go with the M8 17 or 18 plus just seen some CVO models going for 33,000. Your getting hosed for the 16 model
