Currently have a 2013 Fatboy and am thinking about trading up to a 2020 114 Fatboy. Been thinking about it for a while but going to test ride tomorrow. Dealer reckns a test ride will make my mind up as these new Fatboys are chalk and cheese to the older ones. Currently 2.99% on finance. Opinions on these M8's.
I bought the sportglide m8 107 .. love riding that .. shortly after I bought a 2014 ultra 103 .. the 107 is way smoother .. having said that the 107 is bog standard and the 103 has been cam,d .. the wife enjoys the ride on the sportglide but prefers the comfort of the ultra ... SO .. she now wants me to trade in the ultra for a brand new 107 or 114 ultra , wife’s !!!! .. who,d av em ; /
Yeah mickle, he hinted at a trade in value and it was close to what I thought. It just means there will be haggling.
The probably wont move much on price but usually throw in some extras.
Oh, and another thing, the 2.99% is only on 2020 (MY20) bikes. Also, the engine doesn't run as hot as the earlier Fatboy's. Stopped at traffic lights you didn't get the heat rise up from the engine like you do with the earlier engine.
The demo had 3500k's so I thought it would of been smoother. I think you're right wello, needs wearing in.
Hey softfat, good luck with your decision mate and while I haven't ridden the m8 fatboy I have watched a mate taking a roundabout and it looked like a task for sure. May just have to familiarize yourself, but the new chassis and suspension is heaps better. I borrowed a streetbob and ended up looking for every bump and curve I could find - awesome. I think the fatboy has less rear suspension travel than most of the other softail models, may be worth trying some out unless you are completely sold on the fatty.
