this is the Harley Davidsons breakout the 114 cubic inch engine and my god what an
amazing bike now one of the things people say about the breakout is that they're quite hard
to handle middle turn I wanted to see for myself so with that in the back of
my mind I thought well this let's put that to the test at very slow speeds because of
the raked angle of the forks it's it's not easy to turn but once you're moving
along and the handling is absolutely amazing and I was pleasantly surprised
to a point where I'd say this is probably weight up in my top two Harley Davidsons
because we folks stick out the wrong way like a dragster bike that would imply that the hand the
straight line stability is very good and it's I mean it very very much is and they've got this
huge back tire it's as fat as you can imagine and it just it just feels fantastic on load
one of the first things I noticed about this bike is they have got quite a lot of Chrome on
it compared to a lot of other soft outs where they have the this in black that in black this
is all quite chrome but it breaks it up from the rest of the bike which is very black so
it's quite nice spider though though I adopt to back that out I quite like it clones be honest
because of the dimensions of the rake on the trail it wants the center itself which adds to
its stability that's why it's such a stable bike so taking it up to motorway speeds I mean it's
like it's on tracks it's like a train it just goes straight like an arrow and it's absolutely
confidence inspiring but on the corners you can kind of lean with it and you pull it around the
corners it's a fun bike to ride you involved in the riding and I tell you what is I've never had
so much fun it's fantastic I like how this is very neat and it fits in with the risers
well I like about this seat is that you can take the rear piece off if you have solo riding and
it'll look a lot nicer obviously because you're get to see the rear fender more so
that's something I love the handlebars they haven't got much pull back so you feel nice
as a riding position it feels really nice to me because I don't like the handlebars
that are like that and they're nice and wide I can't stand narrow hand of us some of them like
this on some bikes this just feels like you're out there on the road you've dominated the road
it's and it's awesome the look of this rear tire just looks fantastic how beef is if you
look at that from behind on the right it does really pretty man you see I'm not sure what the
mapping is on this particular one but it felt very responsive and I'm used to the 114 cubic
inch engine and it pulls as you'd expect with about 163 Newton meters of talk whatever is
that's a lot of talk and that means at low revs whatever gear you're in you could just open it
up and it will go and that's a nice feeling it feels like you've got all the power in the world
so he just got standard pipes on this one today they look alike
but they're a little bit quiet but when you open it up they do give a
nice deep sound due to the problem for that they do definitely need exhausting
so you got this suspension adjuster here so it's nice and easy that's taken apart compared
to the previous breakouts you've got this new front light that's not really new anymore but
it's not like a nice round shape available but it does look quite nice still the wheelbase on
this one is slightly shorter than the outgoing breakout I think it's slightly less of an angle
between the front wheel and the frame so but it doesn't really make much of a difference so
I don't worry about the brake is a tiny bit less on this one but that's later handlings
are awesome you got forward controls with this bike nice pegs as well not the foot
boards so you're not going to scrape them as much when you're going around their corners
the brakes are very good I like the feel of this rear pedal here and the front brakes
are very good as well and have all the stopping power you'd expect the seat is very comfortable
on this one and again you've got a lot of chrome on this side as well including the
belt guard which is not very usual to be soft else but it breaks it out quite nicely I think
it's nice doesn't it the mirrors there's not much distance between here and there
which doesn't matter but the rear visibility isn't too bad I say I've got probably about
half the mirror there are some of the Harley's I can only see the little corner because these
handlebars are so wide I think that takes it out a little bit further which is good
riding here on these country roads the roads are quite bumpy the suspension soaks it up
beautifully like all soft tails do no issues there whatsoever which is quite impressive
very considering it's a 1.8 liter engine and compared to a car you can save a lot of petrol
I don't know why people aren't riding bikes Washington but their government are sort of
stopping it happening so yes Matt I mean four to seven what does it 47 love that's a lot of
miles per gallon it for a performance machine the sidestand I don't know if it's me but it
seems to be easier to use than the one on the Heritage Classic which I have it may just be
a different position or I don't know but it's easier to use because there are issues with the
side stands on these softails you don't always know if the bikes on it or not and it's very
easy to drop the bike because it hasn't quite kicked in and it sort of moves on its spring
and falls over so this doesn't seem too bad the gears have got a nice solid positive feel very
clunky like all the Harley's it feels sometimes like it must be snowing wrong because it goes
clumping into gear but that's perfectly normal and it changes nicely on the move
so the main question is why would you buy this bike over the others
this costs eighteen thousand eight hundred and fifty five and the FX dr is actually a
lot cheaper now and they've did a big price reduction and they are 17 nine nine five so
then it gives the question dude would you go for this or that personally I'd go for
this I think he looks a lot nicer I think the FX guards got a bit too much clutter going on
I don't like the exhaust from the airfix yeah I think this has always been a good-looking bike
yeah I mean to be honest I prefer this to ride by a long way and the other option is
the street policies Ethernet yeah but it's not quite as got as much presence in it no scar 1:07
yeah if you um customize the street whether you can make something out of it community kind of
same sort of minimalistic look about hasn't it but I think this is phenomenal isn't it
so our verdict on the harley-davidson breakouts is it's absolutely awesome
and if you are thinking about getting this bike and maybe comparing it to
some others outstanding this is the one going by right now
