M8's don't have a stellar reputation on the touring bikes and the water pumps were a huge problem when the water-cooled heads were introduced in 2014. Recent history gives owners a reason for learning and dispersing information.

I usually hang around the Touring forum and only come to this forum to learn if the M8 issues have been fixed. $30,000 is a lot of money and I'm not trading my 2014 until the M8 is fixed. Can't know its a fluke (or not) until enough folks give reports.
