Harley-Davidson Breakout reviews

If you are into the lower stance and stretched out feel, then this bike does not disappoint. The mid to top-end range can be a bit scary, but you soon realize how comfortable and in-control you are. Cruising down the highway and open road is a blast, but the lack of corning capability should be noted. The fat-rear tire and low ground clearance want to keep the bike upright. It takes a few hours of riding to realize, that it simply requires a little more experience to engage the bikes potential. If you install factory add-ons, like tuning, intake and exhaust, hang on! This bike turns into something you never imagined... it loves performance upgrades. Super reliable ride, super cool and deserves a rider that can appreciate the unique style. Show less

This thing is a rocket in a straight line, Softail chassis makes it very desirable with matching good looks, power and reliability. If you like ripping through town, and chasing sports bikes on the highway, you will be able to keep up, or if you want to just cruise around in style this is a great bike. The big 240 rear tire does make turns and low speed maneuvers quite challenging, but that is okay! Brakes as with all Harley Davidsons needs some upgrades if you really want to tear up the pavement safely. Tight response and easy leaning come standard even with this much weight. I loved mine, put 10,000 miles on it in just a couple years with no permanent damage to my body! Show less

The 2015 Breakout has been a joy to own and modify! As with any Harley people are going to want to customize it and there are tons of aftermarket parts out there to personalize these motorcycles. I gave it 3 stars for performance because it's not a race bike but it is very powerful for it's weight. Comfort got 4 stars but I'm also comparing it to my touring bike that is geared for long distance. Overall these bikes are fun to ride and always turn heads. Some old school guys don't like them because they have more of a sport look but that's exactly why I wanted one. They also ride great, especially surprising since the back tire is huge but it still handles well. I took mine on the famous DRAGON road in Tennessee and it was perfect on all 129 curves. No scraping in turns or bottoming out. These bikes are great for anyone with medium to expert skills. Not for a beginner. Show less
