Milwaukee 8
« on: July 31, 2017, 09:27:23 AM »
Good article that touches in depth the new engine. 

I'll have to say that this engine is a huge improvement.  I've ridden the EVO in 883 CC, the twin cam in 96, 103 & 110 c.i. but this new M8 feels totally different.  Even the suspension feels great.

I'm ready to hit the road again.

I wasn't referring to the v-twin.

All kidding aside, my buddy David has a new M8 Street Glide CVO and has added exhaust and an FP3 tuner and is blown away at the power it has.  They really did a good job on the new motor.

My buddy that went on an earlier trip this year with me has been wanting to get one, but was still kind of attached to his RoadGlide, with 94K miles on it. He totaled it in New Mexico last week, so that probably settles that...

I don't think I can ever get attached to a bike but he'll be glad he totaled that road glide and not a new M8
