Personally, I'd still be hesitant of the new M8's. Like with many first production year models...bikes or cars....there's a few bugs they need to work out.
I put over 40k miles on my 2018 Limited. I had no issues with that bike, other than cosmetic damage due to a minor accident and being dropped a lot (first Harley).
I traded it in on a 2021 Limited, which is a bit nicer, but I've had "gremlins" mostly around the starter and weird rattles.
I wouldn't be afraid of a 2018. Every individual bike is different. Maybe you'll have to fix something. Maybe you won't.
