The Harley Breakout Is Deceivingly Awesome

[@moabdul4936]

Breakout is an iconic and one of the best bikes HD ever produced. And BTW HD never stopped breakout they only stopped supplying the US market

[@Jameskenomis3]

I don’t get how people say it’s a bike for straight shots… I ride mine everywhere I rode my street glide. I love my breakout.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

I have a 2020. Bought it brand spanking new in December of 2019. I'm debating whether I want to lower the rearend and switch the gas tank to a 5 gal.

[@jscalice292]

I have a 2017 that I ride pretty aggressively and barely scrape the pegs. You get a real feel on how to handle the tight turns doing speed. Had no problem going through the needle in South Dakota.

[@Philo-Rides]

Riders love these Breakouts and VRODS in New Zealand and Australia

[@harleydave2316]

I have a 2015 stage 4 Breakout and love it. I get compliments all the time and it's really fun to ride. Quick tip, get rid of the feeler pegs and you'll rarely scrap the pegs.

[@motomenace5243]

Thats because they don't handle well enough to lean over that far. 2nd worst handling HD with the wide tire new fat boys the absolute worst handling. I work at dealership and ride all of em.

[@jeffelliott3439]

​@@motomenace5243 k your awesome to ask then .I want a simple bobber style .is the bolt any good ...and since your Harley is 883 anything to consider or the 48 ? What should I buy. I love the look of the 883 iron but I'm 6 ft too and 180 lbs

[@lol174]

I appreciate your opinion but it's just that. I personally love mine and I have ZERO ISSUES with 4 or 5 hour rides. It corners little less than the dresser bikes but it's just fine for me. The only thing that would be a negative and I mean the ONLY negative is the rear tire is expensive and wears out quickly if you ride hard. That's it. I LOVE MY BREAKOUT. FANTASTIC BIKE

[@needparalegal]

Best looking bike of the last 10 years, so not deceiving at all.

[@RossMalagarie]

Yep look at the Yamaha Raider and the Breakout side by side they are both beautiful

[@RossMalagarie]

@@AriesManiac why didn't you keep your Raider?

[@bryanfish925]

31000 miles 2013 CVO Breakout, I've had it for 3 1/2 years and love doing twisty roads with it. I ride it for hours. 3 to 8 hours per ride minimum, Tail of the Dragon, Foothills Parkway. I do drag my pegs but if you ain't dragging you ain't riding. Love the power of my 110 Twin Cam. Keeping the rubber side down.

[@AriesManiac]

We got the same bike

[@kneesinthebreeze7417]

Hey Hegshot thanks for the video. I rode my 2018 breakout from Harlingen, Texas to Fredericksburg, Texas. Just a little over 320 miles one way and round trip about 750 with all the riding around I did in the Texas Hill County. No I'm not better than anyone else. Lol. It was comfortable for me. Are there better comfortable ride yes of course. Just wanted to comment. Keep up the good work on your videos. To everyone else please be safe on the roads . 🙏

[@stevenmilligan7773]

Right about lean angle different seat makes huge difference.on my 2016 but at 70 yrs old didn't by it for corner carving.

[@douglasfarmer4160]

In Australia we still get new models of Breakout thank God love the breakouts

[@jeepfanatik1304]

Breakout is my dream bike!

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

I love my 2016 CVO Pro Street Breakout. It does everything I want it to. I just want to up the HP, substantially. But then I am a HP addict.

[@Chris_L034]

they never discontinued the breakout, theyve been in the european market.

[@micktatts]

There still available in Australia 🇦🇺

[@41BeachComber]

I have a 2017 cvo Breakout. Nice ride. I like it.

[@tonygarner3797]

Let the peg scrape and lift your foot up, it will corner. Love mine! 😀

[@bill392]

I love the look of the Breakout, can't believe it was discontinued. Since it's a Softail, I was surprised to see that it has the same gauge as my Sportster 1200 Custom.

[@3wheelmannc860]

I always liked the VRod...that engine design was truly innovative as well as the overall design...way ahead of its time imo. I wish that bike evolved over several generations. That version is just another big v-twin HD (which is not a bad thing) with a little stying changes.

[@robinharris4247]

I just bought a 2024 and love it. Love the look at it but getting ready to take it to the next level and customize it. Well my husband is lol

[@Cherhill]

Hey great video review! Can I ask where I can buy the rear LED turn signals (who are they made by) I would like to buy them. Thanks Pete

[@patmanwainwright3423]

Sorry to correct you but the my2017 has duel shocks at the bottom of the frame the my2018 and on has a mono shock under the seat

[@impala63ism]

show me the mono shock under the seat!

[@joeyfamulare3032]

That’s my style ride all day. No matter how far the trip. My 2000 Deuce is pretty similar, but it does get a bit uncomfortable after a while. I’ve been seriously looking at the Breakout for my next ride, but for now my Deuce is where it’s at! 👊🏻

[@RossMalagarie]

Same I don't like the looks of a wind shield and bags but for a long trip I put my quick disconnect bags on. I have a 2012 Yamaha Raider S and it looks very similar to the Breakout. I can ride for 8hrs on back roads no problem and that's with stock shocks and seat

[@stanbenarick8413]

You comment at the lack of lean angle on the Breakout. How does it compare to the Indian Super Chief Limited with a similar lean angle of 28.5 degrees?

[@sventhorborsen7313]

I have a 2016 Breakout, completely customized. Of my collection it turns the most heads, gets the most compliments, but it is not the one I take on trips. It’s definitely a bar bike, short straight shots, bike nights, etc- my back is screaming after 45 minutes.

[@nickmiller9907]

I’m loving my 2018 115th anniversary breakout. My only issue is the saddleman seat, it’s tremendously uncomfortable compared to the stock seat!

[@mayybe]

7:49 thats no a stop sign bro. Great review thanks

[@Yo2slick]

I have a 21 RGS and a 16 CVO Prostreet Breakout. I think the Prostreet handles better than the standard Breakout because of the 19 inch front wheel and inverted front forks. The SE 110 TC engine is nice as well. Its definitely my around town bike, poker runs ect and it does excellent in that regard. I have my Road Glide for everything else.

[@neverwithout1985]

Same here. I have 20 RGS and a 17 FXSE (CVO prostreet Breakout) the smaller front wheel and inverted forks does make the ride feel different. I love my prostreet and can’t seem to part with it. But the FLTRXS 🦈 for long distance travel is where it’s at🤙🏽

[@77brasileiro]

Dang buddy I live down the road from that place. Pretty cool. Great video 👍

[@TheDucatiPilot]

I've been a long time subscriber to your main channel, and didn't realize you had motovlog channel too! I plan on adding a 2023 Harley Breakout 117 to the garage soon. Cheers and ride safe!

[@ChrisVanMiddelkoop]

I could do a long ride on a breakout. As long as the weather is good. I would not want to ride it in the rain. Lol

[@t.s.racing]

I read in the comments, your shirt offended " Karen ". Here Karen : 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸

[@RossMalagarie]

I have a 2012 Yamaha Raider S but my close second choice is the HD Breakout. They both have great angles with the front forks, slight up angle gas tank and fat 240mm rear tire so chopper looking.

[@joeyn7399]

Good review, thank you.

[@ChristopherAvery-u4p]

RIDICULOUS! Frowning this bike because of the factory pegs that haven’t been replaced is STUPID! Really your a rider and know swapping out the peg is not a problem to get better clearance I have a 2015 Breakout with a tire shredder build on it from 103 to a 110 @110 horse with 121 ft lbs of torque not thee quickest but quick enough for SURE! The only minor thing I have with it is taking the brunt of the wind as there is nothing up front blocking it but others have put 1/4 breaks on it or some type of shield/fairing on it to somewhat diminish the wind blast I have just gotten used to it. When I bought mine I knew it was more for me than a passenger so I’m okay with limited space I did however change up the hardware on the back added docking bolts for a seat/backrest quick connect for a rider so when I peg the throttle they don’t fly off! Revisiting the lean angle the chicken strip on my 240 is pretty slim so you can get into turns better after you’ve switched up the pegs it is a great bike and I love mine it is a shame that Harley killed it’s production but they have been guilty of making bad decisions before hope that changes here in the future keep ridin!

Nice review overall.

[@mk27wrx]

what about a review of the fatboy to the breakout

[@blacksails7574]

Dude I'm new to the bike world and my first bike after riding the 125cc to get my learner is a breakout I was lucky that the pass owner moved controls forward and a bit higher It's a game changer I don't scrape at all but yes I also did can legend air bags so I lift the rear to the Max and that helps to love the bike and nice video dude I actually enjoyed your review calm cool and collected

[@kenhunter6778]

Great video, I have the 2018 with the 114 M8. There is a big difference in ride, weight and stability compared to the 2017 because of a change to the frame. 2018 is 35 lbs. less, no motor mounts, will rarely scrape , stable at high speeds (no issues at 130 mph, so far), mono-shock frame, a crap 3 gallon tank that wont fill properly in California, take corners better. I've taken it on distance rides a few times with a fairing while averaging above 100 mph for over 1000 miles in two days while stopping every 100 miles for fuel with no fatigue. You cannot base all breakouts on a 2017.

They're a heap and if u don't scrap the footpegs down to nothing as they are so stupidly low then you might as well ride a skate board.

How about riding the newest muscle bike, the Sportster S? Give your honest opinion. I would be curious as to what you say. I went from riding my Shovelhead for 24 years to riding a Sportster S and wow, what a difference. Even after throwing thousands at my Shovelhead to go fast several times with S&S stroker kits and more, there is no comparison.

[@Ironhorse360DEG]

yes, harley says they canceled the breakout. but i disagree, they renamed it. in my opinion, they canceled the fatboy, and continued the breakout. compare the (new) fatboy to the breakout. all the specs are roughly the same. they put a bigger front tire on the breakout, and solid rims, so they can call it a fatboy. they both have the short rear fender, the 240mm rear tire, i'm sure the same seat, and either drag bars, or the small buckhorn handle bars. the (new) fatboy may not have the rake the breakout did. the breakout went to a 3.5 gallon tank, and the (new) fatboy has a 5 gallon tank. so they have brought back the bigger tank, and added the fat front tire. you should review the 2013 CVO breakout with the screamin eagle 110. i own a 2012 fatboy with the 103. a true fatboy has full fenders, a large headlight, and a lot of power. i've bored you long enough, enjoy your day.

[@luisoutumuro424]

Exactly Scott. Change a tank, a wheel, a seat, etc... and rename it. I have a 2008 H-D Rocker C FXCWC softail... essentially it is a Breakout with a different seat and bigger tank.

[@danvesa1182]

Looks alot like my 07 Vulcan 2000, I tend to agree with you, these muscle bikes are not designed for long hauls, I do about 2 hours and I am done. They look badass and go fast, light to light. Lol

I had a 2019 BO and just traded it with 23k-miles for a new 2024 BO. It’s an awesome bike and highly customizable. I traded my 2012 V-Rod Muscle with 50k-miles for the 2019 BO. If I feel the need for speed, then I ride my 2022 Hayabusa. FJB 🖕🇨🇳

A great bike. Really nice looking. I can't help thinking that it looks like a knock-off of my 113ci Yamaha Raider. Only from your perspective, far less comfortable and not as much fun to ride. With BIG sticker price difference. Lol.
