Currently a happy Low Rider S owner. But I have tried the new M8 Street and Road Glide Specails severall times now, and have decided that I have to have a Road Glide Special in 19, when I get 50 🤠. It’s just an awesome awesome bike, I am totally in 😍 . The old Glide models was for me, just to much of a paint shaker, and my “OCD” couldn’t handle seeing all that metal and plastic, flabbing and shaking around. The vibes and the feel of the new M8 V-Twin on the new Touring models, is just spot on. But after also having tried and tested the new Softail series, that left me, pretty cold, I am afraid that MOCO in future will give the Touring line the same cure.
Solid mount engine and two balances 😣
What do you think 🤔

 

 

 

I hope they have a color you fall in love with.

 

What do I think? If you have a problem with vibration, I doubt if a Harley Davidson is your motorcycle. That's the nature of the beast, from time immemorial. I see a Gold Wing in your future. No offense meant, but sheesh...

 

Man, you let the cat out of the bag.

 

Just go ahead and get the Road Glide Special. I've had one for about the last 1 1/2 years and think it is the most comfortable bike Harley makes.

 

Man I do too, and maybe one for me to upgrade upon!

 

After riding every softail now made, I agree with the OP. It's not a good vibration. Lets hope they don't put the softail engine in the touring bikes.... and I'm betting they won't.

 

Just buy a used 2017 when you turn 50
