I like the styling of it, reminds me of a Stryker, BUT not a fan of the $18k price tag! Ugh

Yeah, definitely HD Clone of Stryker. 7000.00 will buy you a lot of mods on the Stryker.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

It is a gorgeous bike though..I do like the straight drag bars

 

[Skwerlee]

I agree it's a sweet looking bike. Won't run with us though

Isn't it a bigger motor? I thought it was a 103, we have a 81

exactly...our 80" motor outperforms their 103"

Skwerlee is right! Son in law has a 2012 96" and no where near the power of our 80". 103 is near powerful as ours, but then still won't rev out like our Strykers. Sh!tload of lower end torque, but no show on high end.

I admit i like the looks of the breakout alot, i also like the rocker. But ultimately a lot of my decision was based on liquid cooling. I looked hard at the raider, but the air cooling turned my stomach. My 2 main choices of bike was either a vrod (I know not a real harley, but i dont buy a name), or the stryker. The stryker was all around more comfortable to me, plus the dealer gave me way more for my suzuki on trade than the hd dealer would. Ultimately i am very happy with my choice. I am one of the few in my area and have gotten a ton of comments about the bike from people, including hardcore hd riders. .

I havent done much to my Stryker but I went to loose wheels at the texas oklahoma border... parked at the end of the row past my buddies Harleys. People walked over to check out my bike and my friends noticed it. I was busy checking out the babes. I aint mad.

Don't get me wrong, I love my bike(still wish I got the black)...but at some point in life, I will own an HD...

I do remember being at the bar with 3 HDs and 2 Crotch Rockets, and everyone came up to me and asked about my bike...

Someone did mention in the next 5 years, HD is going to go to liquid cooled..

Personally I think the HD Breakout is targeting the Raider and Stryker as well as the Fury etc. It's the "style" of bike they didn't have before... The engine is right between our Yamahas in specs if nothing else.

Sat on it for 5 minutes and didn't like it but they offered(actually the main sales guy said if I rode it I'd want it) so I will go back for that when I have an hour to kill. Fit and finish was there but the seating was not "in" the bike like the Stryker. I'm reserving full judgement till I get it out for a decent ride. Don't think I will trade in or anything but like I said now that they have this "style" the HD loyalists that lusted after our bikes have an option that many will surely take. Just my .02

I like that 110. Big Motor.

Test ride

Had the HD demo truck here in Denver last week. Rode the Breakout, the Fat Boy and Fat Bob. The engine and trans were slicker in the shifting and the the 6th gear was nice. Still not as fast and comfy as the Stryker. They said they only offered 2 in forward control extensions on the Breakout and the Fat Bob, would not be as comfortable as the PCS/Scootmod Extensions on the Stryker for the tall guys. Nice bikes but that price point.......ouch!!

The Breakout looks real nice, but holy crap ... I'd buy a Diavel if I had $18k to blow.

 

[IDStryker]

The Breakout sure is a good lookin bike, but I could have 2 Strkyers for that price.

 

[wes]

Haha at that pic

 

[ShorbE]

I sat on one that had the drag bars. They are beautiful bikes but it had that feeling of sitting on top of the bike, not down in it.

 

[alaskanmonte]

I like the bike, its just hard for me to justify spending that much additional money for a name.

I would purchase a new Yamaha V-Max for that kind of money.
