Man that sucks, just over 1,000 miles. I've seen 2 used 18 RG CVO's here f/s here in my area and they were priced within $5G of msrp.

Has anyone traded a sumper and had the dealer give them lower than market value because of the issue?

Maybe the values are roughly on par now, but likely not in the near future. Vindictive Donald just promised to make Canadians pay because Trudeau stood his ground at the G7 Summit. Canadians are bracing for the massive Trump Tariffs and the resultant retaliatory tariffs possible on Harleys exported to Canada. I'm glad I took possession of my 2018 Road King earlier this Spring!

...thought the OP bought a back-up M8??? To me, that's Harley Marketing Genius. Sales should be doubling, you'd think.

You sure showed the MOCO how pissed off you were by going out and buying another one of their sumpers didn't you? LOL.

As long as people keep buying their mistakes where's their incentive to fix the problems?

So you have a failing HD, and to help the situation you buy another M8 bike???? Why not a BMW or Honda or Indian or something?

His post says new. A new Fatbob has an M8 engine, unless he is buying a left over 2017

Only for fools willing to spend more than MSRP^^^^^^^^

I got my 18 CVO on Sept 2nd, and paid MSRP. Seems that is a lot below 50K.
