Gotta hate how this m8 pulls thru logging roads in northern Maine . It’s just sumpin how much better it pulls on the bottom than my twink.
Pulls hurricane mountain loaded 2 up.Mt Washington was closed
Great engine braking.
Gets dirty too quick on dirt roads !
Gas Tank never ever stays full.
Never ever sees a dealer .
I gotta check might just not be and m8!!
lmfao
Well off to worry about warranties ,Stage kits and chrome cup holders.
NOT!!! Honestly guys if you are on the fence go for it.
few bad posters here are not really the norm .
just ran into a bunch of early release 2017s limiteds from Canada with big miles on them.
Only one guy had a bitch about clutch switch and he did away with it.

I love my 2018 Road King and I doubt I'll ever own any brand other than a HD unless I decide to get a little sport bike for zipping around town. In fact, love the King so much I'm doubting I'll ever get any other bike. The M8 engine has all the guts I need and tons of torque. A refined but ballsy feeling to it, with torque all through the gear ranges.

Well another successful day of nothing but burning gas. Ran into another group from Boston running a few m8s Same as me not a thing gone wrong in 10k and 2 bikes in the 36-45,000 bracket 1 battery one brake light switch.
Wonder what part of the country all these dead m8 are from . Getting to sound like a few crappy dealers with the gold chainer crowd lmao.....another 1000 miles better go home and service it again.
1200 over my normal
still like my m8 a bunch better than my twink
maybe not my EVO or shovel lol
been a great bike so far

I hope I can be doing the same.... enjoy and be safe

Default M8, theyrrrrre grrrrreat!

3000 miles on my 2018 FLHCS Anv. I love it!
The 114 has so much torque and power, enough to get into serious trouble in a big hurry.
remember: A happy customer will tell 1 to 3 people how they feel, a dissatisfied customer will tell everyone they know.


Big Moose! Love it!

I love my M8 and don’t regret for one second getting rid of my twin cam, smoother, more power, better suspension and so on... I guess everyone is scared about the reliability, sumping, etc... I just jump on and ride, runs great no worries or issues here.
