Just wondering how many people here are sticking to the Twin Cam? Specifically the Heritage. I personally don't really like the style change in 2018, but that's only me.
Havent got a Heritage but Im sticking with my TC, looks wise the new Heritage looks nowhere as good as the old one, not sure what the bags are made of but they look like theyre made of plastic for a start.
I'll be sticking with my Twin Cam bikes; '16 Ultra Classic, '03 Heritage, and '01 FXSTS Springer..
I have no desire, or need, to buy a new M8 bike... The above three bikes all have a different feel and ride... they cover all my riding "moods" very well...
While every new year, in almost every product, brings changes and some refinement;
The M8 doesn't out perform my 124" S&S engine, and all the new gadgetry & nanny features on the new baggers doesn't appeal to me in the least..
I think the new mono shock heritage suspension is much better... but it doesn't have the look of a hard tail like the older Heritage bikes, and really isn't a softail anymore... It's still called a "softail" as a marketing move, hoping to build off the "softail" name recognition... but again, don't need that suspension change for me to be comfortable for the way I use my softails.
They don't even make a springer anymore. It a unique bike, with a unique ride... so it has no "new bike" competitor... it's staying put in my garage
Plus, the way the MoCo has completely evolved into a "nothing matters but the bottom line" corporate model, has soured me towards them as a company... I have no desire to give them $30K of my hard earned money, the way they have been treating their "issues" for quite awhile now....
I'm totally good with my current choices...
