I agree about the troll post. Heard of a lot of problems with the new M8. That has bullshit rote all over it. I know several people who own em and there all very very happy. Including me. I wouldn't trade mine for two of the prior years bikes. That's how much I'm in love.
Feel free to keep riding your 103 for another 6 years because I doubt that any M8 owner cares what you do with your 103 ride
Now, go back to the Vespa forum
Sorry, but this has 'troll post' written all over it.
I don't have any problems and I'm extremely happy with the new M8. Better than my 2015 RGS 103, far better, better and much improved suspension, overall I am very happy~
Pissed that it rained here in NY for most of the Memorial Day Holiday ..but better days coming.
Love this Bike and am happy to see Harley moving in the right direction..wish I didn't have to deal with all this EPA crap..but I honestly say, this is the best Bike I've ever owned..I can't wait to see what they come out with in the next few years..would love this motor on a Dyna!
I see lots of problems with the new 107. Are there any proud, happy and satisfied owners out there? You always hear about the problems. Maybe I should just keep riding my 103 for another 6 years ... it's as solid and satisfying as I have ever owned.
I guess I am reading the wrong message boards and talking to all the wrong riders on the road as my experience is 180 degrees the opposite. I have heard of a few on message boards with M8 issues but the vast majority seem to be like me and extremely happy with the M8 with over 5K miles on it since late Feb
Really now, when you step back a few paces and look at the forum posts here concerning the new M8 bikes, there aren't many things that people find the is actually "wrong" with them. Granted that we all tend to bitch and moan about thing on a new vehicle that we wish were different. The M8 bikes are an improvement, especially when it comes to performance. They don't necessarily sound better, but they do run better.
If there is one thing I would like to see changed about the MOCO it would be the ability to order a bike from the factory with the accessories and parts we want instead of having to buy the bike off the floor and then taking many of the parts off the bike and throwing them in the dumpster and then buying new parts to go back on. What a waste of money and parts! Of course the dealers love that, but not me.

So, you see lots of problems? You don't even own one. Bet none of your riding buddies do either. It's pretty clear that you haven't taken much time to read all the many positive posts here on the M8 subforum from 'proud, happy, satisfied' owners. FYI, there awre a lot of them.

No troll at all implied! You are reading it wrong. I only scanned the forum titles and noted lots of complaints. I love the 107, power and looks, and I do have friends that own them. I'm not saying my 103 is better, just that I'm pleased with it and I will be purchasing a 107 in the next year or so. Sheeeesh!
