18 v 19 Street Glide Special...which one?
whats up guys. Currently a 2012 vrod owner but are looking to get a street glide this spring. Ive done extensive research and have been talking to friends and cant decide which one to get. Is the 2019 with the m8 114 and apple care worth it? Needless to say the 2019 is more $$$ but if Im spending this much is it worth spending the couple extra thousand or just how o with the 2018 m8 107 which is an amazing bike as well. Ready, set, go...what are your opinions???

That depends.
The 107 is a pretty good motor, and if you don't plan on adding more than a stage 1 is probably adequate for your purposes. And if you're not into a better, faster infotainment system that has CarPlay, I doubt you'll miss it.
However, if it were me, I wouldn't even consider a 2018 over a 2019.
YMMV.

Ready, set, go? I guess the people that do that dont realize how obnoxious that is.
Anyway, if i were getting an m8 bike it would be with the 114. Im sure doing a big bore kit would cover the difference between model years. As far as apple car play, i dont use apple products. I do not like android auto though thats on am aftermarket stereo in my pickup.
