Those bikes are for a different type of riding. If I wanted to ride like that, I too would get something other than a Harley.
At the moment, I'm feeling no need to spend 5k to 10k on my bike. Happy for those that do, especially those that do it themselves. But, I do notice a lot of the M8 "I've a problem " posts, are from people who have modified their bikes.

Opinions are just that, many here don't really know.
Big power imports are very different, for that different type of riding you mention, and I have had most of those, too.
As for those problems you mention, I have 10K miles on my 128, and have so far been through 18 states without a single issue. I truly love my set up.

The NON CURRENT (that means not this year's model) Versys 1000LT I looked at had a $9,995.00 price tag.
My 2020 BMW R9T Pure was a $9,999.00 bike before I added a couple of options. The Pure is the Base model of the RnineT series.
My point IS that there are 100 HP bikes selling for a lot less than Harleys.

The same thing can be said for cars. Why would someone buy a 718 Boxster when they could by a Mustang GT for a lot cheaper?

That "Stage" stuff will be the death of Harley Davidson or at least the M8. Why shouldn't I buy another brand that is already engineered and built for maximum performance and reliability, instead of having to pay extra and bolt it on?
I sure hope they don't need to sell "Stages" for the Revolution Max engines.

Also, performance and reliability used to be on opposite scales
