Well, where I live you see a LOT of bikes on the road, & I can't say that I've ever ONCE seen an M8 Softail on the road. Seems around here all you see are touring sled M8s.

Gotta say I didn't like the M8 Softies when they came out; I still don't & would buy a late TC if I hadda buy a new sled. Thought the Slim, Deluxe, & Heritage were passable, but lately I have been noticing the Lowrider & while I prefer the Dyna version, the M8 version is starting to look good to me. Like a real nice looking ricer does.

 

Well if you're every over here ion Tampa, there's a good chance you'll see me ("18 Slim) or my wife ('19 Lowrider) tooling around on ours . But I get your point -- I think it's going to take time for the new softails to become common sights on the streets. It's not like everyone that already had a bike decided to go out and trade theirs in or if shopping for a frist bike wanting/able to plop down the cash for a new Softail.
