2024 Harley Davidson Breakout 117 - balanced review after a while

[@Sr.D]

If you ride long enough, it feels almost inevitable that you'll end up on a cruiser. There's just something about the laid-back comfort, the style, and the sense of freedom that draws you in over time.

I bought a Road King 2 weeks ago. Super pleased with it. I've covered 300 miles since I picked it up and I have no complaints. Had a Honda sports and BMW adventure before this. The Harley is different. I wish I'd made the switch a couple of decades ago

Thanks. Nice review. I’m currently on a 2021 Sport Glide with 35,000klms and trouble free. Considering the Breakout and also the Fat Boy for my next bike. Leaning towards the breakout currently. Time to take both out for a solid test ride.

Nice Vid Alex, enjoyed the no nonsense view without trying to sell it to me. I have a 2018 107 Stage 1 Breakout with Fat Boy Bars, I love it but thinking about upgrading to the 2025 when out. I'd be getting a bigger tank, Cruise control and Traction control, and of course that 117! I've test rode one and loved it. I had to get a 3rd party USB installed as I found the factory USB (2?) on the bike didn't give enough charge to my Android mobile while using Google Maps, so it'd still gradually run out of juice. Did you find that, as I see you appear to be using the stock USB with your mobile?

[@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel]

Hi Mark, thanks for your nice comments. Yeah, didn't have an issue with the bike charging my iPhone 14 Pro, didn't notice it going down and used it on pretty much every ride, phone does hold charge well though so there is that. Haven't seen the 2025 yet, wonder if much is gonna change?

[@markf.3617]

@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel Blade Harley Davidson Oxford told me no change in spec.

[@Ride_on54]

I actually love the bike but not the colour schemes and has waaay to much chrome for my liking i would opt to get it blacked out first

[@justRORIRARU]

A bike with such trail is nothing for me. Seems it goes round corners like a truck and one prays there doesn't come a lorry from the other side... Sadly we got plenty of switchbacks over here. I assume you can ride and it is not you.

Surrey's roads are a disgrace.
