Just my own personal opinion, Mike, but I find virtually all Harleys to be significantly overpriced, underpowered slugs, which do not, again, just my own 2 cents worth here, do not justify their pricetags. Every time I've ridden a Harley, other than their late V-Rod, I find myself looking at the motor to determine why it feels broken with all their shaking and distinct lack of giddyup.
Beautiful to behold, love their distinct potato-potato exhaust note, however such cosmetic or topical attributes hardly overcome their largely antiquated and anemic motors or their overpricing.
I do agree. I have had 3 new Harleys to date and all were excellent & reliable but yes overpriced. I have a 2003 Road king twin cam (bought new in 2003) & only had to do the timing chain tensioners. It still runs good.
Not sure about the Milwaukee Eight yet. Been looking at the 2018 Road King Special in blacked out paint scheme with the M8 engine. It's a hard decision for me.
