Plus mine has the Harley rumble that can't be had with the M8.

Don't own a Breakout still plodding along on my 13 year old Nightrain, I know it keeps Harley in business but it always amuses me how people spend a fortune on a new bike, then another small fortune customising it, keep it a year or two then have to chop it in for latest new thing.

Is it because of the sound? Do you prefer the sound on the 103?

I think in 12 to 20 months we will get 2 glides a street and a road glide ... so we could swap ... to use them for long rides.

The M8 is almost too good... They engineered some of the Harley out of the Harley. Its almost like BMW made the motor.. It doesnt feel like a Harley.. And I hate the clutch..

Well, in 2000, the Softail got the Twin Cam and I didn't upgrade. Then it got a 96" motor and 6 speed tranny and I didn't upgrade. Then it went to 103" and I didn't upgrade. Do you see a pattern here?
i wish I could buy another bike just like the one I have, only brand new.
