For now my Heritage will do just fine with the motor she has...gotta think long game with retirement from my current job around the corner. As long as I'm still riding, I'll be good. Gotta get set financially for right now.

That would be cool. I have been looking for another bike. Want a dresser/bagger. Have seen several nice ones but I just can't make myself do anything until the new ones come out.
If I buy one now I may regret it in a month or two.

Employee at dealer told me Friday that they are very nervous because they have way too many Dynas and softies than they should for this time of year. He said people are waiting and not buying hoping for the M8. Said we may get stuck like they did with the dressers last fall thru spring. N.E.Ohio

If it were me, I would buy a softail with a 110" SE over the new M8. Yes, the new motor has less vibration and it's a little more powerful (barley) I would take a 110" over it any day. Trust me, I have a new M8 and a 2017 110" softail in the garage. The softail walks away from the M8 like nobody's business, the difference is pathetic.
Of course the my RG is heavier but it's just on a whole another level.
just my 2 cents
