2020 Breakout vs 2016 Breakout

[@HalfNuked]

i think the breakout is the best looking bike harley makes, maybe the best looking bike that anyone makes

[@TweedleD]

I have a 16 hard candy breakout with apes. I have no problem with turning or corners. I was told mine was originally sold in AZ and brought to tn when I got it. Best money I've spent. I'll be doing videos soon on it.

[@FourQed]

Of all the motorcycles I've owned throughout my life, my 2019 Breakout 114 is my absolute favorite. Never get tired of looking at it.

[@tjo1984]

Man this guy knows his Harleys.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

I bought my 2020 on New Years eve 2019. Didn't even test ride it. I just knew. Hasn't let me down.

[@derhudde7553]

Purchased my Breakout last Month. And its a Hell of a Bike. Loving my 114 Ellie. Thanks for the Video.

[@samuelbergeron4798]

He did'nt mention that the 2020 only has a 3.5 gallon gas tank . The 2016 has a 5 gallon tank! Makes a difference on a long run.

[@SlagleRock]

Samuel Bergeron Definitely something I like about my 2013 CVO Breakout over the new one.

[@Patriot-fl3ch]

I was just about to mention that.

[@Patriot-fl3ch]

Will the 4.5 gallon tank off the old one fit on the old one?

[@keystonedaytrip238]

Patriot3210 No

[@frenchiechanel64]

Can you put a 2016 5 gal. tank on a 2020 breakout ?

[@tonygarner3797]

I have a 2014 Breakout, love it. Have no trouble cornering with that fat back tire, sticks really well. But I'm not liking the 3.5 gallon tank on the newer models. It don't look right and I don't want to have to stop for gas every hour and a half.

[@SlagleRock]

White Horse I’m with you. I’ll keep my 2013 CVO Breakout over the new Breakout.

[@clairejames642]

I have a denim white 2017 and I just love being able to do long rides with the bigger tank. Such a comfortable ride and all the power I need💨💨

[@aztriumphster]

Agreed. I had a Sporty 72 before the slim i have now. That 2.1 gallon tank didn't get me very far.

[@breakoutpete210]

I really don’t like the gas tank on the new models, the older model’s gas tank is much more appealing, especially with that beautiful council on it. Great informational video by the way👌👍...✌️😎

[@SlagleRock]

BreakoutPete I agree. The old tank looked better and was more functional with the larger capacity.

[@markr2159]

BreakoutPete I believe they redesigned the tank to showcase the motor a bit more. Maybe Rob will confirm or disconfirm that suspicion. But I agree, and I did like the shape of the previous tank better as well.

[@SlagleRock]

I can’t really confirm the reasoning for the smaller tank. My personal opinion has always been they did it for better cooling.

[@Devillionaire]

wow this video was exactly what i was looking for. literally these 2 exact models is what i wanted to compare. thanks.

[@aninja7628]

Forgot to mention the 3.5 gallon tank now from the 5 gallon previous and the totally new frame definitely enhances and compliments the suspension, Handling

[@41BeachComber]

Good info. I own a 2017 cvo Breakout myself with a 110 screaming eagle engine and dual disc front breaks. I like riding it very much. Thanks for the info on them. Trying to learn what I can about the bike.

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

You have an excellent scooter. It's a capable bike, good acceleration and braking, and decent handling for the type of bike it is. I have zero problems tossing mine around. I have the Stage IV 117 kit. And I want more power.

[@joseguerreiro9935]

Great demo, thanks from the Uk

[@markr2159]

Great video. Rob, great job explaining the bike in a clear and concise manner. Oh, and the Chuck Taylors comment was spot on!

[@SlagleRock]

Thank you.

[@markjaycox8811]

I like the sound of my Black 2016-110 with Bassani pipes and 585 cam- she's a stage 2 CVO. Still building her.

[@homerogarcia2749]

What I liked the most about the video is the 5'5 "height disclaimer. I am about the same height and I had always been thinking that if I were to buy one. I would have to modify it.

[@dusant4278]

I think that this Harley Davidson seller did not mention that 2013-2017 has done in CVO with 110 cubic inch engine , and that in 2018-2020 you have only one kind of rims with whole new breakout model.It is logical that you got improvements in new model , like led lights, display, ...,but the 103 engine in old breakout sounds much better.

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

I've always liked power in anything with wheels but on a Harley I don't wanna sacrifice my mpg. Now if I had a vrod I'd treat the bike right and wouldn't always get on it . Glad you made this video man and if you make anymore videos on any breakout or any other Harley I'll be there to watch

[@ericeisenhofer2867]

I chose the 2016 because of price, lots of quality upgrades by previous owner, better tank, and the 16 with vance and hines pipes just plain sounds better.

[@marka1712]

Imagine that.... salesman at the dealership says “I’d recommend the 2020” and names all the ways the new one is so much better. The new one handles better and makes more power but it’s ugly and neither of them is made for track days. The slightly better performance doesn’t outweigh the newer ugly changes in appearance or the sound vs the twin cam.

[@SlagleRock]

Mark a I’m a motorcyclist first and foremost. I don’t help with these videos for advertising i do it for the love of the bikes. I’ve owned upwards of 80 motorcycles in my life and I’m no brand shop. Currently in my garage you’ll find 2 Honda’s, a Suzuki, a Yamaha, a vintage Triumph and just last night i purchased a 1976 CB750 basket case i have high hopes for. I personally own a 2013 CVO Breakout which is absolutely stunning to look at but I’d be a liar if I said it could hang with the new M8.

[@lingofearth2786]

I had no idea that was a dial for the suspension.. I thought it was oil related.. I just purchased a 2019 breakout 107. I love it

[@Hybr1dK1dz]

This video is exactly what i was looking for. Rob was very well spoken

[@aztriumphster]

Thanks! I'll let Rob know u said so.

[@Hybr1dK1dz]

I’m still torn between the old and new breakout.. I like the chromed out look and the cvo chromed rims are killer along with the sound of the twin cam that I prefer. Then I see the M8 shits on the old Breakout in every way apart from looks and sound.. I’m coming from a vstar 650, so I’m completely fine with how that handles and turns so if the old breakout has the same drivability or better then I think that will do for me. Isn’t the old breakout 4.5 sec 0-60 while the new breakout is 4 sec 0-60? Also how noticeable is the power and torque difference as I’m a speed freak lol Thanks!

[@aztriumphster]

@@Hybr1dK1dz i agree that the looks and sound of the old Breakout get the win. Also the fuel capacity is better. But, the M8 Breakout handles noticeably better, closer to the V start style of handling. And the M8 motor runs circles around its predecessor. The M8 motor is also smoother, like the v star.

[@AlDoggyDogg]

I have a 2014 FXSB. I traded a 2019 Fat Bob and I specifically wanted a twin cam over the M8. They sound great and run phenomenal. The M8’s might be more efficient, but it takes a lot to get them to sounding the right way for me. I can’t feel a difference in real world riding comparing the two, but I do agree that the 2014 feels hot. My 2002 TC doesn’t feel the same heat wise so maybe I just need a tune.

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

I love the breakout like I love the vrod. In 2018 I went to Harley to me a new bike , the breakout didn't cut it for me cause it has a little tank . Another bike I like is the new Fatboy , the girth of a Harley is what I'm really into plus the Fatboy has a 5 gallon tank . I made a comment about why I didn't want the breakout , the sales man tells me that they have three pre-owned breakouts up stairs . I take a look at the three and they all have 5 gallon tanks . These bikes look new . My girl was sitting there waiting for me , she's a 103 ,5 gallon tank with only 498 miles on the Speedo. She has a screaming eagle air breather and a big radius v&h exhaust in chrome . This bike already has the Willie G handle bar and forward foot controls . I would trade my 103 in for any new bike , she doesn't suck gas like the 114 and being I like riding in long stretches , this one's for me

[@MotorcyclerideCyprus]

In the video neither of you did not mention the smaller tank on the new breakout! The smaller gas tank is a problem! especially if you ride around the Island of Cyprus as I do and video my rides! lots of Mountains and not so many gas stations!I am 5''5'' and have rode a Harley Davidson Rocker c now for 5 years, no problems with reach, but I sat on a Milwaukee eight breakout and with my feet forward, the size of the engine casings was a problem, it pushes your legs out each side, the engine casings seem a lot bigger? I would think someone our height and size would have problems with reaching the forward pegs on the new Breakout?

[@SlagleRock]

cliffy amo My apologies. I definitely prefer the larger 5 gal tank over the new smaller one.

[@bloodstockvip2176]

The rake is less on the m8 newer version, the older twin cam has a bigger rake so (personally) looks better 👍

[@jackshover7290]

Glad I got a 2017 because they sure screwed up the 2018's. What's with the smaller gas tank? Looks like crap.

[@latenightthinker4737]

Thanks for the great rundown, I love the channel❤

[@juliozapata5032]

Huntington beach H-D had a demo day last weekend for us the customer to try the new 2020 models. Is very hard for me to pick one particular bike because they all fun to ride. No particular order nor preference heres my top 3 new bikes. Breakout, lowerider S and sport glide. Good job with this video and ride safe guys😎

[@ruben42655]

New gas tank looks horrible takes away from classic look!

[@charlieryan1736]

Excellent comparison video 👍🏻

[@johnmclean4911]

I'm not really a big Harley fan. But I do love the new Fat Boy and the older Breakout. There are a few commons on the fuel tank. Yes I agree they just don't suit the style of the Breakout. Love the new led stuff thou. It's a shame Harley didn't leave the fuel tank the same as the older model. I think that's the all thing that let's it down. Plus it gives you a long fuel up time as well. Well let's face there are some places that filling stations are far and in between. Apart from that everything is brill.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

I would like to have the wheels and tires from the 2020 Breakout on my 2020 Softail Standard.

Hey I wanted to know whether we can upgrade 103 engine to 107 or 114 from HD dealership?? I have a 2015 HD breakout.

[@tar21man]

@MVia ya ik What I meant was whether we can upgrade from 103 to 114.like removing the old engine and actually installing the new Milwaukee eight engine......

[@popaof3]

I agree that it’s the best looking bike in the softail line can a taller guy ride comfortably on that bike 6’3 260lbs?

Is the breakout okay for passengers that are on the heavy side

[@aztriumphster]

Absolutely. Might need to adjust the preload on the rear shock tho

[@nofxn40s]

@@aztriumphster do you know if the preload is on the 2016 model 2 or just the newer models because I'm looking at a 2016 model as it's my first Harley and I don't need the 114 but I love the way it looks

[@cowboymusicstudio4911]

I want to thank everyone for your input and knowledge of the different aspects of this breakout, but now is 2020 and I have employee's at Midwest southern Harley Dealerships that breakout has been discontinued so good luck with buying a new one next year. I like the high torque little bit bigger than a sportster and monoshock suspension café style seat mid controls and some distance from the exhaust pipes, all my Harley's burn the hell out of me and T-shirts are not cool enough in Texas summer weather. I want a cool motorcycle that don't bump my calf's or pressure my boots with crazy pegs and hard to brake and hard to get the gears changed, I wish someone would build a motorcycle that is comfortable to ride that don't weight in at 900 lbs. Cowboy

[@cowboymusicstudio4911]

Thank you for you're thumbs up on my important comments on the total waist of time trying to listen to this video chatter and complete non-sense of intelligence of trying to compare two or more motorcycles at the same time is complete non-sense and nothing I can see is making a grain of knowledge on any of the bikes in question, really these types of comparisions are not working at all not even a little bit. I do suggest to everyone just stop listening to these clowns, they are only trying to make money on the youtube channel.

Great choice! I dig the fatboy. I agree on tank capacity. If ur gonna spend the money, u might as well get more outta ur tank.

[@SlagleRock]

omen oakes Agreed, they should’ve kept or stayed closer to the 5 gallon.

Have u ever ridden a sportster 48 or a 72? Or any sportster with forward controls? Ots similar to that. Okay in town but once u get up to freeway speeds, u end up using ur core to try and keep ur feet on the pegs

Good information. Bike looks good on you. Are you going to trade in the Slim? I am 5'7" most days and the Low Rider S is a perfect fit.

[@SlagleRock]

Spencer Brooks There’s definitely a Low Rider S in my future!

[@Patriot-fl3ch]

Will the bigger old tank fit the new bike?

[@aztriumphster]

I'm not sure offhand but I bet it'll come down to the shape of the frame under the tank, and the mounting points.

[@aztriumphster]

Something else to consider is widening the stock tank.

[@aztriumphster]

Or, run a larger tank from a different model

[@Patriot-fl3ch]

[@evgeddyvangerven6108]

I think the instrument guage on the 2020 handlebar sucks. Harley should have kept the analog guage. What's your thoughts?

[@aztriumphster]

I will always pick an analog gauge before a digital one. I dig a classic retro feel. I can understand a digital gauge on a bike like the new fat bob, but not something as classic looking as the breakout. Even the street bob would benefit from an analog gauge, perhaps something similar to and simple like the sportster.

[@SlagleRock]

EvG, Eddy van Gerven I agree. Some love the digital but I prefer a more traditional look.

I want *more* than the 112HP and 124 ft/lb. It's getting Wiseco pistons and Total Seal rings from T-Man Performance, and probably a custom cam set from Comp Cams. Possibly some S&S stuff, too, roller rockers, cam plate, and oil pump. Of course, the other option is the Screamin Eagle 120R, although even that would get new cams. I'm wanting to push 140HP, or better.
