This is part of the dilemma Harley is facing with declining sales. Core customers like us who 'shot the load' over the years are content with our current bike. We admire the new M8's but don't need the latest greatest nor the costly mods that follow a new bike purchase. I'm close to retirement, and I already have two bikes. If I wanted another, I'd buy used. Clean, low mileage bikes with warranty remaining can be owned for thousands less than new.
I'm retiring in 5 months. I've owned my 2007 Dyna since new, which I will be keeping. This week all indications have me purchasing a 2018 Street Glide Special. I like the new M8 and all the other features the MoCo has added in recent years. I hold onto to things a long time. This "latest and greatest" may be my last one. I'm looking forward to it, though I never thought I would own a bagger.
