I don't want to pay $30,000.00+ for a motorcycle that stands a pretty good chance of just being pushed around to the Service entrance! With all of the different issues people are posting about it is very discouraging for potential M8 buyers. I'm not a savvy enough buyer to safely buy a used Limited, but I gotta say it is starting to sound like it might have its benefits over a new bike.
My bike has only darkened the service door once and that was for a recall campaign for a loose oil clamp hose (check). No problem found.. If they hadn't mailed me the letter, I would have never taken her in.

She's almost a year old and 10K miles ...no issues!

Alright, alright, alright already! Against my better judgement I am going to admit to my ignorance. Apparently I do not get out enough anymore. What the hell is a "Harley GOAT bike"? That is not in my lexicon nor Google's either.

GOAT. Greatest of all times. It's used in every sport you've ever heard of.

Because after all........ you can check your transmission oil just so many times before you're straight up bored with that crap too! I just keep checking in to see if Steve has fixed it yet, lol!
