Wish they would brought the M8 out 10 years ago so I could have bought one sooner, love this thing.

I do enjoy it...no issues. Want to do slip ons and possibly a stage 1 but don't have the 1,500 HD wants to do it all. Saw a thread that it may not be worth it....
I'll be riding tomorrow so hopefully that number will double

Be safe
Get slip ons first, then wait to do the stage 1 once you get the 1000 mile service.

About 5k on my M8 RK. Its been great so far, the ride out of the box is what most impresses me. Stable with 2-up at highway speeds inspires confidence. Had oil light come on and it has thrown a low voltage code for the oil sensor so I'm watching it. Hope to put many more mies on it after the weather cools down. Lovin'it!

2 months and 3000 trouble free miles. How much fun is this bike? My daughter's smile says it all.

I took delivery on 6/19. I had a couple of weeks where I could not ride, but have 1500 absolutely terrific miles with 0 problems.

8800 miles on my M8 RK. Flawless. May need both tires at 10,000 miles or so.
