Excellent decision to put the 5 gallon tank on the bike. Many riders buy the bike for everything and a 3.3 tank is a pain for long distance rides

I think the larger tank is a mistake. The bike looks better with the small tank. Unfortunately customers don’t always understand what they need and don’t need. Who is going to cruise around on this bike for 200+ miles?

A 2019 with the 114 engine, I just bought the 2023 with the 117. I’ve never owened a motorcycle I’ve enjoyed riding more. Love my Breakouts!

@@gavinblak23 Find a Sportster 883, used, and have cash in hand. If it's regular transportation and you aren't going to thrash on it, look into a 2008 or newer Sportster with Fuel Injection. It will save you ton's in headaches over a carbureted model that goes to shit with E-10 gas in it, and varnishes up, needing a carb rebuild, or rejetting if you change elevations and ride up in the mountains. FI saves a lot of headaches with fuel air mixture compensation. Leave it stock, don't put noisy pipes or aftermarket air filters on it, save your money.... you can do those mods when you get much older and on a Milwaukee 8 or a Twin Cam HD.

Bought and still own a 19’ with the 114 motor. Best change I feel is going with the H-D chrome “swept-back” bars. Able to sit back more, and these bars give you better leverage for longer, more comfortable rides. Best bike I’ve ever owned👍🏼

It's been 20 years since my last bike because of young children. I found the perfect bike to fit me , being 6' 4" most Harleys i always felt cramped. In 2008 i thought the big dog K9 was going to be the bike but the economy took a crap. Just walked out of the Harley dealer purchasing a 2023 Black denim Breakout. Wow what an awesome bike. Getting some Vance and Hines pipes and sissy bar installed and we should be good to go. I might even get the forward controls extended 3" but need the rear brake control pad larger first. My shin does rub against the cleaner some but it's the best option being a taller guy. I can't wait until spring now in the north east. Thanks Matt for the review it convinced me to get riding again

I always thought the Breakout was one of the models that transitioned the best into the new generation M8 frame, and with the full size tank, it definitely looks even better! It's awesome; I'd love to own one now honestly. Putting the smaller tanks on the Softails was always kind of a gamble by HD. I think they alienate a lot of potential buyers unnecessarily. HD should try adding the larger tanks on the Street Bob/Standard and Fat Bob. It would be an easy way to change things up on those existing models. But yeah, the Breakout looks awesome with this small change! Thanks for making the great video!

I love the breakout. Was the bike that got me on a Harley. When I was shopping for a bike a few years back the breakout checked all my boxes I was looking for at the time and looked badazz doing it. I didn’t care for the small gas tank look and still love the sound of the twin cam over the M8, so I opted for a used low mile 13 that already had the intake and exhaust I would have put on it as well as backrest and swing arm bag. Other than LED lights and mirrors I didn’t have to do anything else to have exactly what I wanted and saved thousands in the process. I’m 6ft and about 200 and I find the breakout stock seat and all stupid comfortable. I’ve cross countried the bike and camped off it numerous times comfortably. It’s not a twisty bike and as far as I’m concerned that’s it’s only downfall, but it wasn’t designed for that. In my opinion it’s by far more than a bar bouncer that many portray it as. With all that said I did buy a street glide to take over the role of cross country trips for better capabilities on the twisties and better storage to camp off of and such. But I kept the breakout for more local riding and option for shorter trips and still camp off of it. I was super excited to see the breakout back, better than ever with the larger fuel tank and cruise. The only downfall for the breakout comeback for me anyways is the new CVO street glides and road glides. Doesn’t make any sense for Harley to totally change the styling of touring models and the new styling not trickle down to lower tier models in a year or 2. I’ve pondered a new street glide twice but not being a adrenaline junky the power of the M8 is not enough difference to get me off my 16 street glide. But I think the design teams did a awesome job with the new styling and convinced I won’t have the patience to wait for the new styling to hit the used market and will likely be my first new Harley. If the lower tier touring bikes share the VVT as well as new styling I will wait a year at least for the bugs to get worked out. By 2025 I should be able to swing a brand new SG or RG and keep my 16 SG and 13 breakout. Don’t need 3 bikes, but I have a problem of getting attached to things and can’t let them go. I find both my current bikes to be fantastic and have so many good memories covering thousands of miles on both.

Nice comments about the 2023 HD Breakout Sportser. I like it looks and sound. I am in the process for a new HD. I like the look of the Breakout, but also interested for the Fatboy model bike. A few years back I had a 93 Sportster which I loved it was stroked out to 1150 hp. Unfortunately I sold it, got engaged and needed cash. But know my current lifestyle is allowing me to buy another HD bike. So I am hoping to buy a new or 2023 model from a HD near me..

What a comfortable machine. I am five feet tall with seven foot long arms and it fits me perfectly. And I love the way those pullbacks make it feel like a boat tiller instead of a pair of handlebars. But some people say I look cool riding it. So there is that.

Thanks for the history lesson. It harkens a little to the low rider frame from Arlen ness in late 70s early 80s.

Great review as always Matt. Love the Baja Orange on the Breakout, especially with the tank graphics! Too bad HD didn't include the same tank graphics on Baja Orange SGS and RGS? Thanks again, Matt.

Love my 2019 Breakout 114. I like it so much I’m seriously considering a 2023 Breakout 117 to have as a stablemate for my 2019.

Nice throwback intro! I started riding in the mid 90’s and I remember the bike scene absolutely exploding in the early 2000’s. When the Softail Deuce came out, it kind of had that factory custom vibe with the stretched tank and boat tail rear fender. I get that same factory custom vibe with the Breakout. Two bikes light years apart, but similar in some ways.

I love the new Breakout, I bet with a stage one this bike would move. The 2017 Cvo Pro Street Breakout does have cruise control you said the new Breakout was the first to have it, not true.

I'm 5'6" and I had a 2017 and never had any trouble with this bike. You do need to get used to in the turns because of that fat tire. Hey Matt are you doing any test ride on the ST models? Thanks

Appreciate the vid Matt. I have a 2020 SGS, I am abusing her as in I just don't have the time to "really" take her out. Most of my rides are back and forth to work. Occasionally, I take a trip from Savannah to Jacksonville ( and by occasionally, I've made the trip on the bike twice since I got her). Think I'm gonna go test ride a breakout this week. I started on a Vrod so I'm curious how the breakout is gonna feel. I'm just thinking, being that most of my riding is under 200 miles, might make since to trade her in.
