Harley-Davidson BREAKOUT 114 Review. How good is it? We find out!

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.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks bud! Yes we love the Breakout! 💯👍🏼

[@madmanmick2962]

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.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

No Comment Awesome and thank you! Very good point about the seat! Safe riding buddy

[@white_devil73]

How do the short shots sound? I just bought the last black one in Louisiana and my dealer is putting woods cams in it and short shots as well. Haven't heard her yet.

[@robbyclark6915]

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.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. The Breakout is unique and a brilliant ride 👍🏼

[@emilyr1555]

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.....

[@white_devil73]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan She is just amazing. I'll attach the link so you can see her. I've had her a week today. I've put about 300 miles on her and she feels great. I learned that the M8 only has one cam. The bike has more than enough power and feels stable at all speeds I've had her. I have to keep it below 4k rpms until the 1k mile mark and I take her in for the first fluid change and to have her properly tuned to open her up. I haven't had a bike in 14 years because I got custody of my son and raised him until he left for college. Now it's time for me. This bike puts a smile on my face every morning that I walk into my garage and see her. Thank you for a great video. I completely concur. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHy2hYOXqdqMgpo

[@stevem4783]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan in my experience naked and sport riders are the group most unwilling to adapt to any other style of bike. 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.

[@aaroncox3340]

I took a breakout for a test ride, with a stage one fitted, had a grin from ear to ear, from start to finish, however due to $$$, I ended up with the sport glide, but would definitely buy a breakout later down the line.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Aaron Cox Yes the Breakout is a great bike! The Sport Glide is also very nice buddy 👊🏼

[@dp_NYC]

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.

[@davymac9866]

Much better than the previous twin cam and the Rocker C before it, the 2018 re design of the frame with the mono shock has made the softail family the best of the entire range 🔥

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.

[@barackblows1942]

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. Thank you Starved Rock H-D!🇺🇸KAG

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Jeff Binstadt check out our fat boy review!

[@dp_NYC]

I’ve tested this bike and the fat boy back and forth on the same ride..... the breakout is a much sexier bike. It’s combination of stance, chrome, and rake is just fabulous. Much prettier than even my 2020 FXLRS.... don’t get me wrong, the fat boy is nice too.... just not like the Breakout’s visual presence.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

d p Yes we agree, the Breakout is one awesome motorcycle!

[@tonyfrucci4379]

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!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Tony Frucci Thanks for your interesting feedback buddy! I bet you love your Breakout. We totally dig it! I found it very good in the corners, and got very comfortable with it’s handling quickly. What a bike! 👊🏼

Great reviews gents, just wondering what your comparison views are between this and the Fat Boy. Pros/cons between the two. I’m 6’3, they both feel good size wise, wondering your view of handling comparison between them 👍🏼

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Brett Bowditch We prefer the Breakout because it seems easier to flick about, mainly because of the thinner front wheel, which makes the handling seem livelier, but also it has tremendous stability. The Fat Boy is great too, but is a little less nimble. Harley-Davidson are discontinuing the Breakout! so it’s now or never (unless buying used).

Hi, just wanted to say I loved your review of the Breakout and wanted to ask your opinion. I’ve predominantly been riding sports bikes, my current one is a Ducati 916 which I have enjoyed, but I’m looking to move on from them. I’m 5ft 8” and really like the look of the Breakout, but was wondering if I may be too short and I’m only an average build.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

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.

[@rickanderson2359]

MrDarcy & the Ol'Man Hi, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated. You’re certainly right I’ll have give it a try, once lockdown is finally finished here in NZ. The low seat height is definitely important, and I certainly want to practical, no use having a bike you can’t safely ride hence the sportbikes have always suited me. I’m 50 now so that’s why I’m looking at moving onto the Harley.

[@michis.9888]

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.

IMHO I think Harley should never have discontinued the Low Rider. Instead they discontinued that model and brought back an inferior model, The Breakout, instead. But that is the way the cookie crumbles I guess. I do own a 2020 Low Rider S and love it.

[@barackblows1942]

I just picked up a new 2019 Fat Boy in Scorched Orange on Saturday 3/7/20 to go along with my 2019 Wicked Red Breakout that I bought on 9/29/18. It’s going to be a great summer.🇺🇸KAG PS Hopefully I can’t bend the solid 18” rim on the FB like I did on my BO.🏋️‍♀️

Great review of a good bike but for another £650 you could have Triumph Rocket 3R. Wouldn't mind a Softail Slim tho.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

splodge 57 Yes; we’ve got to get our hands on the Triumph! Softail Slim is nice too.

[@andrewkitchenuk]

I'm a Triumph man & loved my old R3 but at 6'4" find the new model physically too small. Shame as it's a great engine.

[@johncollins6255]

What’s like on dual carriageways / motorways, is more suited to short haul stuff ?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

It’s fine but but not made as a long touring bike. That being said, a buddy has just ridden 500 miles to Scotland and back on one, so it certainly can be done.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Seems to have good power , but the slow heavy turning is not something I see myself putting up with for long. Rather a street bob

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

WICKEDLEE LOOPY It’s honestly OK when you’re moving, it’s only noticeable at parking speeds. The Street Bob Is certainly quite’flickable’ though and very nice

[@SkydooBzH35]

[@stephenfleming7056]

It is a nice bike for sure. Not sure i would want it though, £6K more than my Street Bob :0 But then I am thinking of a Heritage or road King anyway, almost same price.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Stephen Fleming We love the Street Bob too. Out of the Heritage, or Road King, we prefer the Heritage. Breakout or Heritage... both awesome in different ways! Heritage if you need versatility and longer rides; Breakout if you want a fun ride, with amazing straight line stability

[@stephenfleming7056]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Agreed. Yes I'm looking at longer distance possibly 2 up so it not relay in my sights.

[@YoutubeTVbeakfly204]

Comparison between breakout and fatboy do you know which one is better?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes! The Breakout is the one i'd go for between the two because it handles really well, is actually quite 'flickable' when moving, and it feels safe and secure. The Fat Boy is a bit more heavy feeling and less nimble (because of the fatter front tyre mainly).

[@YoutubeTVbeakfly204]

MrDarcy & the Ol'Man thanks but if you change the handlebar from breakout then it will be better than before I think

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Beak WolfIEA I like the Breakout handlebars. They are good.

[@Yamaha_Bolt]

So do I get a used one of these or new boulevard m109R? How reliable is this bike?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

D M Personally the Harley-Davidson. Ive got a two year old Softail 114 and it’s still 100%. Never had an issue. I think the Suzuki has got too much clutter and bits of plastic on it.

[@Patriot-fl3ch]

I've always liked the breakout. But I believe I'm spoiled by the performance of the sportbikes. But if I did go that route it would be a breakout or bigdog k9.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

We love the Breakout and whilst it’s not got the performance of a sportsbike, it’s still potent, but 100% more cool! Harley-Davidson are discontinuing it soon so values will probably hold.

[@lovenagroove]

I'm a bit late to comment but I'm young and really want to get a bike. Do you think this bike is a good one for a 5'7 - 5'8 in height guy?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

It would be a bit of a struggle tbh. It’s one of the bigger ones. You’d be better off with a Harley with mid controls and bars with some pull back.

[@lovenagroove]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Oh okay thank you, with you guys being 6 foot on the bike made it seem like one of the smaller ones

[@jordanmascarenhas7974]

I’m 5’7 and can very easily flat foot on the new Breakouts. You can simply get a reach seat and will be very comfortable

[@drsparwaga]

@@jordanmascarenhas7974 Thanks for that answer. I had this question in my mind recently too after watching a review of the Breakout and Fatboy on Matt Laidlaw’s channel, who also said that someone under 5’8-9 would struggle. I figured it is possible to adjust the controls and change the seat to bring a smaller guy lower, and make this bike useable for smaller guys.

[@aaron.sorenson]

I’m 5’10” I love mine… question is how short your arms are basically. Go to a dealer, sit on one, and feel the grips of you gotta hunch to much to reach might not like it later on longer rides.

[@robertgarciaortegadinoseni3886]

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.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Absolutely with you there 👍🏼👍🏼

[@stevem4783]

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.

Giordano Nicolosi Yes we love it too! It turns fine! It’s only at walking speed that it pushes a bit, but it’s not a problem.

[@rideon41]

Great looking bike, unfortunately the cornering clearance completely kills it for me. Took it on a test-ride and scraped the pegs in almost every corner, just riding normally. I've had a couple of V-Rods before with 240mm rear, but 32 degrees of clearance (5 more than the Breakout) and it's night and day.

Chris Kmiec Yes that could be an issue with some of the Harleys, but I dont ride that hard anymore so it doesn’t affect me
