250,000 M8 bikes out there. Here on this forum we've heard of, what, maybe 20 sumping?

The TC was no panacaea either. Read through this guy's report (not saying it's the truth, just that it's another opinion) and then see what you think.

Can’t go back if your already there....

In all seriousness I was 1 of the people who received the $1500 rebate in the mail. I have my 15 close to paid off so I’d be in the positive on a trade in. Stopped bye a couple times and checked out 1 I like. But I can’t pull the trigger..... Not gonna trade in a perfectly running reliable bike for 1 that may or may not grenade itself @ any given time. I know I can hop on my Rushmore and ride 12+ hours straight only stopping for gas water & power bars. I don’t have the confidence in these new engines to perform as such. So I’ll sit in the sidelines and continue to rack up miles on my Twinkie until this crap sorts itself out

I respect your point, but that article is BS.
