I live in Oregon USA and bought my ‘18 Breakout in Twisted Cherry a couple of years ago. Being brought up with motorcycles my entire 50+ years, I have to say this is my favorite of all bikes I’ve owned. Every bike I’ve owned left me looking at other bikes, but not this one. I plan to keep and ride this one for the rest of my riding life. I love seeing reviews that agree with my thoughts and feelings. Doesn’t happen to often these crazy days.

I have a black 114 Breakout with Vance & Hines short shots. You are spot on with your review I love riding my bike. One thing I would say is I took the pillion pad off and went for ride with friends. As soon as I got home I put it back on my arms ached like hell. Without the rear seat I kept sliding sliding back when accelerating. At motorway speeds having the rear seat to push against takes the pressure off your arms from the wind.

Never even thought about a breakout. Then I saw this motorcycle on a website and I had to find out what it was because it just looked killer! It’s the breakout, surprise, surprise. Immediately started looking up reviews and your the second one I’ve watched and both have been marked by not only how surprised they were by the bikes handling and abilities but both reviews immediately said just how incredibly “fun” this bike is to ride! If I ever wanted anything from a motorcycle it is FUN! The main, main, reason I ride motorcycles is because they are freaking fun! Great review as usual.

Great review. I've just (about a month ago) bought a 2014 Breakout 103. Supposedly harder still to handle than the 114 (I actually test drove a new one before opting for the 103). My other ride is a Honda SP1, so very used to chucking that around the corners. I've got to say it took a couple of weekends, but now I'm used to it I'm not having any issues, Its heavier and you can't lean over as far as the SP obviously, but you just adjust your riding to cope. This is my first foray into HD and I've got to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Still get a massive grin on my face when I get on it and would recommend anyone out there to not be put off by the stories of woe around the Breakout's handling. I'm 6' 2" by the way and it's an amazingly comfortable ride. Ride safe all.....

I really like this bike. It is very sexy and has fabulous curb appeal. I test drove this at the same time with the Fat Boy and it handles just fine. Don’t let the rake put you off (unless you want to do a turnaround on a single lane road). In the end... I opted for a silver Lowrider S. I’m extremely happy with my decision and feel the future for Harley is the Club Style scene.... and the FXLRS fits that for me.....the Breakout harks to the past.....fat rear tire and drag intentions. In the end....it still pulls at me and anyone would super stoked to own one.

A long heavy bike with a fat rear tire takes some learning and skill, it's not "bad handling", it's just different. If I rode cruisers and choppers for years and jumped on a sport bike and did nothing but bash it for not being what I liked and was used to, I'd get crushed...I'm not sure why it doesn't work in the inverse.

If you buy a Breakout, then be sure to buy the extended warranty with road hazard coverage. I hit a pothole on my 2019 BO on US I80 expressway doing 85-mph, just west of Joliet Illinois, and bent the front 21” rim. I had to have the rim and both tires replaced. Without the road hazard warranty it would have cost close to $2,000.00 USD. Fortunately I always buy the H-D extended warranty so it was no charge, including delivering it 50-miles to my home.

What a first bike, lucky, lucky man....

Thinking of getting the new 2023 version - all the chrome and larger tank just make it stand out even more. And those new wheels ! Wow ! Just a little concerned about its maneuverability with that rear wheel and extended front end. Will have to test ride one and see. Looking forward to your review of it.

Great review! I started off on a Sportster and moved up to this and it was a perfect upgrade for me. I wanted a sixth gear and forward controls and this fit the bill at only about 100 lbs heavier but with a much bigger motor! I agree wholehearted that the factory pipes are quiet. I think they put very restrictive baffles to meet California requirements. But I upgraded to V&H pipes for better sound and looks. Also, I initially had problems with wide u-turns at slow speeds and at first I thought its all I could do with the larger rake and fat rear tire. But I found that because this bike has a low center of gravity, if you use more counterbalancing than you usually would on any other bike, you can tighten up those slow turns a lot! Granted, not a lot of available lean angle there, but enough to get it around better. Give it a shot! Great bike and great review. Cheers!

Moin, thank you very much for your excellent review. What i like very much, is that the way you speak / your accent is good to understand for "not-native-speakers" like me (german). Thank you for that 👍 Now lets get back to the bike: For me, the breakout is a modern construed style of a chopper and not really my cup of tea. The style is very close to some japanese bike models.....furthermore suitable for new, younger clients. Nothing for "older" f***ers like me (nearly 50 years old). But the problem is: Younger people cannot afford a bike like that. A big problem for the company: The traditional clients will dislike the newer models and "pass away", young people are not interested to ride a motorcycle or can't afford it.

Rick Anderson Hi and thanks! The Softail Harley-Davidsons have a low seat height so from that respect ok. Reach wise, they are quite long, but you can get bars with a bit more pullback. Its the longest Harley, so you would probably be on full stretch. Maybe have a sit on one at your nearest dealership. Otherwise, the Street Bob has mid controls which may be better and you can lean the mini ape bars nearer to you.

Thanks buddy!

Is this the 2020 Model and is it comfortable on long rides? I'm really thinking about buying this beautiful ride!

gungrave818vn It’s the most current model so yes as far as we can remember it’s 2020. It’s really comfortable and I think the best ride in the softail lineup next to the Heritage Classic. Long rides are helped by it’s incredible stability

I agree with you sir regarding the breakout being an awesome bike, but it's not worthy for the huge price tag and I don't know why harley has placed it in cvo section. It should belong in the softail section and priced right. And single front disc, why? A 114ci should have dual front disc Hope it has Cruise control std

sooraj sai It is a softail. I’m not sure what you mean by Harley placing it in the CVO section. Maybe it’s just in your country? I found the brakes ok but dual front discs would certainly be better . 👍

The Milwaukee 8 is a v twin. V twin is the configuration of the motor. Harley have used the Milwaukee 8 since 2017, before that it was the twin cam engine.

In your opinion, how does the breakout compare to the fatboy? Solid reviews guys! Keep em coming g.

Norman Noakes They look badass! I actually like the stock bars, but also like the look of those apes 👊🏼

Apparently this is similar of the VRod according to last week postings of comparison. If so, after owing four HD's this would be a thrill. Like the idea of less chrome. Nice but spend half a day to clean and polish. Not a fan to spend a cost to spray and spend nearly five bucks for cleaning chrome extensively but each of us have our quirps, yes. Still HD's are a bomb to ride even for only a period of time. As Deep Purple stated, "Long Live R & R" so I say Long Live HD.

IMO the V-Rod (the later models with the 240 rear) is an easier bike to handle than the Breakout. I don't really know why, but it just doesn't take as much effort.

alan robinson hopefully we will in due course, although it’s pretty similar really to the Bobber Black in many respects, that we reviewed recently. In that respect , they are vastly different. The Breakout is more stable, more powerful, more torquey much louder and a far better bike. The triumph will corner quicker. Put another way; the Harley is Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Triumph is Sebastian Coe.

Great review, thanks a lot! One question: today I tested a BO and a Fat Bob (both with the same exhausts) but there was a vibration difference between them. Fat Bob was so smooth while BO vibrated significantly. Is it what you have noticed as well or maybe something was wrong with the BO test machine? Thanks in advance for your reply. Stay safe!
