I agree with those saying fimish out the season with what you have. Buy in the spring or early summer when people want to sell to finance their new bikes. Stay under your max amount to have cash to set upmthe sled the way you want.
My thought is look for the newest M8 you can buy with lower miles and has been maintained. My research led me to M8 for a used sled due to reliability. I am not brand loyal at all, unless the sh*t lasts. Power is secondary for me with a sled. As far as power, with extra cash you can upgrade if you need and you choose the mods.
Good luck and no matter what you get- have fun!
