When they discontinue the current touring line, they'll become collectible.
Might as well just pull the trigger. There's gonna be changes every year, and you can't wait indefinitely.

This gets asked every year and every year there is a new frame and mono-shock coming. Just buy a bike and enjoy it

Rev-Max might augment it on the sides but the M8 has years to go before the development/tooling costs are covered. I would guess any future frame changes to the touring line would happen at the same time as the RM gets introduced as a replacement, not augmentation. Be a ways away yet.
I agree. The M8 is still "the new Harley engine." And a damned good one.

I’ve been looking forward to this myself. I can’t believe that H-D can’t see how Indian their competition can build a bike that sits lower than street glide and still manage 5 inch suspension travel. I had Chieftain and it’s suspension was Lexus plush. Only reason im riding H-D is because it’s the only touring bike with after market reverse available that I’m able to handle. Hopefully Indian comes up with reverse.

I bought a 2016 RGS in Spring of 2016 - a few months before the M8 was premiered. Did I regret it?

NO!!

I just traded this year for a host of reasons. I absolutely loved riding my "old" twin cam; as the last year for them, I experienced a trouble-free 38,000 miles with plenty of smiles per mile. No sumping, no transferring, no dripping, leaking, or burning.

Now the M8 has had a lot of the bumps ironed out - no more transfer, no more sumping.

Waiting for next year is a fools errand. When you have the coin, buy and enjoy.
