Speaking for myself the more I ride my 2020 RKS the harder it is to want to ride my 04 RKC. Don't get me wrong I'm really grateful to have two great bikes to ride but HD really hit it out of the park with the M8 and the RKS. The bike just handles like a dream and the acceleration is awesome! It practically rides itself going down the road. Any of you guys with multiple bikes feel this way?
Bro.. I agree 100%. I damn near have to force myself to ride my '03 Softail FXSTI Stage 3.. The thing that pushes me to my Softail is that sometimes I feel like riding chrome VS the RKS in all Black. After the Stage 2 upgrades on the RKS and 14 inch bars along with extended floor boards etc.. The M8 powered bike is my go to. I do miss the bike I traded in for her tho... A 16 Night Rod Special.

See that's how I feel. Sometimes you just want to ride the chrome bike. I have so much work I did myself on my 04 and it is a different beast from my 2020. My other issue is the cost of two scoots. Here in Virginia we get hit with personal property tax on all vehicles, trailers, boats. Heck they even tax private aircraft. Anyway between yearly taxes, insurance, yearly state inspections and the lack of space in a so called two car garage I know if it came down to it I would have to keep my RKS. I'm not there yet but....

I picked up my Night Train just to scratch a project itch and I kina missed by Dyna after trading it in on the RKS. I do enjoy not having to throw around a heavier bike around town with the Softail, and the TC does sound better than the M8. Kind of a "raw vs refined" scenario, but the M8 spanks the 110SE I had in every way.
