Depreciation on M8 Fatboys
Good evening gents, 1st post in this forum. Current bikes include a 1997 Bad Boy, and Im looking for a clean local (east TN) Fatboy.
Maybe its just me, but the M8 FatBoys I am seeing, even at the dealer, seem really inexpensive, like 1/2 MSRP 2-3 years later. Im looking for an Evo but Ill take an M8 if theyre a decent bike. Is there an issue with the M8 platform?
And yes, I know they are totally different bikes.

Maybe the wide tire bikes just don't ride good as people expect so they trade for something else. I keep reading about bike prices being down but around me they appear to be higher than last year. Maybe cause the weathers been better.
