Deluxe is the only bike that is 100% LED from tip to tail. Cruise is a PNA option. Heritage and the Sport Glide are the only two with cruise standard. This is by far my favorite video. I test drove the Deluxe and loved it but it was the Fat Boy that earned my sale.

I still prefer the retro looking bullet turn signals for the deluxe vs the new ones on the 2018. The 2017 deluxe you used as the comparison is the exact same bike as my new 2017 Deluxe in the same color (Crushed Ice and Frosted Teal Pearl) that I purchased this past Sept. I love my 2017 deluxe which will stay in my family forever. Great job as always Matt and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks a lot for the video, Matt. I am consider buying a deluxe with the next few years, so I have a hard choice between an TwinCam used bike or a M8 new deluxe. For me it is a choice between beauty (TC) and performance (M8) What I like about the M8 2018 deluxe: - Main pro points: Better suspension and ground clearance - better lighting performance. - LED style: I like the style of the LED lighting. It makes the bike looking slightly more futuristic, however, not too much to lose the nostalgic 50ties look - engine performance: however, a very minor point to me!!! - Air filter cover style; better design What I dislike: - Main point: Very visible oil cooling grind. Looks like water cooled. hiding the engine, - Exhaust pipes design/position: I like the old one better - Loss of second passenger seat pad and luggage rack: This is also imo a design flaw. A big issue for me - Fuel guage now digital; now decorative cap. - none of the available colors do really appeal me. Concern: High costs if LED lighting fails. E.g., would the tomestone tail-light need to be replaced completely if one LED fails? Covered by warranty? Matt, can you comment an this? All in all, the new deluxe is a great looking bike. Nevertheless, for me the old design is more beautiful and more nostalgic.
@CactusJack2526 жыл бұрын
MT Oli LED lights rarely fail. They are rated for around 30,000 hours of use. The engine will be dead way before then. If the light does fail then it will be covered by the warranty. As far as losing the seat and rack it doesn’t bother me. You are getting a new engine, lights, suspension, etc. it’s more then a good trade off for me. As it is most people throw the factory seat in the trash when they get home.
@mtoli2666 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot, Jacob. You convinced me that this should not be an issue. Btw, this question came into my mind seeing quite some older cars with partly failed (= some failed LEDs) breaking lights (the ones located in the central upper part of the rear window).

Hello Matt. I really like the new 2018 Delux. I’ve always had an eye for this bike but as I do quite a bit of touring with my wife it’s just not practical for me. The M8 engine is a vast improvement on the twin cam. I have a 2017 Street Glide Special and I love the bike. It does exactly what is says on the tin. However given the chance I’d have a Delux too. Don’t suppose you’ve got a spare one knocking about that you don’t want, if so could you parcel it up and send it to me in the UK, I promise to look after it 😀. I had the chance to have a good look at the bike at the UK Bike Show and was not only impressed with the new tech but also the build quality. This is something that keeps me coming back to Harley Davidson every time. For me it seems the bikes just keep getting better and better every year. Well keep up the good work with the videos and have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Hi Matt, Great idea to compare both model years and see one to one. The Deluxe was my opinion, always one of the most beautiful models from the factory. unfortunately a bit small, or for drivers over 1.85 m (6 feet). I like 2018 better, the exhaust system, the round air filter and the LED lighting in general. Innovations will always be evaluated later in terms of quality and success. I'm sure HD is on the right track, albeit in my opinion a couple of years late. Greetz. Alex.
