Not as comfortable for myself or wife as our SGS was. Plus I need a backrest and I'm not getting a fuzzy feeling with the couple that are out there. We ride ours on long trips. Actually in the Smokies right now for a week and comfort is a must

Man I almost pulled the trigger on the same color, it is very gorgeous when is out in the sun, but the flames killed it for me. When I say almost, is me with the paperwork ready, but deep inside I would've had buyer's remorse, still admire it, very nice!

I'd be a potential buyer if you are selling (street cannons).

I was very specific to wait until next shipment for a Denim Black, did not wanted any "test ride" mileage nor a single scratch. Call me **** but those with denim bikes know the pain in the butt it is to keep the paint.

Planning to keep her for a long-long time God willing. Goes for both ladies in the pic.

Banana boards from the ol'bike, very comfortable.

Night I rode her off the dealership, huge smile on my face! Kept the ultra low seat.

I went over to Valley Racing in Beecher IL. to see the owner Brian Conley who I raced with years ago. He hadn't had the opportunity to dyno a bone stock M8 yet so today mine played test mule on the dyno to give him a good M8 baseline in his database. I know there are plenty of dyno runs posted for M8's already but its always good to see how our bike's are performing on different dynos and weather.
First 2 runs were 6th gear pulls and the third was a 5th gear pull which is pretty standard for dyno runs.

Sorry for the poor pic quality, I was shooting through a window in the dyno booth.

BTW anyone in northern IL., Indiana, or anywhere for that matter... Brian at Valley Racing is obsessed with squeezing HP out of bikes when he is tuning them so I highly recommend him and his shop for any work you may want done.

I think your bike's dyno is almost exactly the same as every other stock M8 107. Almost every single dyno for a stock 107 has been 80hp/100 ftlbs. The stock 114 has been very consistently 90hp/110flbs.
