2019 Harley Davidson BREAKOUT | FULL RIDE REVIEW

- I have pre-built resistance to Harleys from years of hearing horror stories about oil leaks, build quality, poor performance and sky high costs not to mention the negatives about Harley culture. But last year in Vegas I saw a Harley that made me stop and take a second look. “Wow!!!” And I sat on it. “Ohhh Wowww!!” So I had to know. And finally this weekend a local dealer allowed me to take one for a test ride .... sad to report, my fears came true.

I've always appreciated Harleys but never had any desire to ride...until I sat on a Breakout(2017). A switch in my brain flipped and 16,000 miles later, I still smile like a little kid when I'm riding my Breakout. I LOVE this bike. Great video👍
You just made me want one even more lol Hopefully next year!
@@sstressfl Same thing happened to me when I laid eyes on my '17 Breakout. 3 days later I was pulling off on it !!! Originally went into dealership to kill some time. Lol. Haven't regretted it for one second.
The exact same thing happened to me. Been riding sport bikes all my life. Went to a Harley dealer because I was bored, test drive a breakout and bought when I got back.
I have a 2014 Breakout and there’s no better feeling than hearing that sound and feeling that pull when twisting the throttle on the open country roads.
Never test ride a Harley unless you're ready to buy one because you will. 😂
MAN that is SO true!!!
I know exactly how you felt in this video. Enjoyed the video! Going from a sport bike background to owning a 2018 breakout. Enjoyment every time.
I was bored and stopped by a Harley dealer. Test drove a breakout and immediately bought it upon return. I love it.
That’s the way it should be 😎
Bought one Three years ago, ain't stopped smiling yet every time I get on it. 2013 CVO Breakout Black Diamond. I love riding. Very first bike I have ever owned.
That is a very impressive and awesome first bike! :)
@@sstressfl Love it, very intimidating first ride, but would absolutely do it again. The power was very surprising lol.
Great video, I was grinning with you. I purchased the 21 Breakout the end of last year, and I'm so glad I did. I ride it as much as I can. The way you describe the feeling of that 114ci monster is bang on! I have some footage on my channel on some rides in New Zealand.
very cool! thanks for th efeedback. I sub'd to your channel! Lookin fwd to seeing more of your breakout rides and updates.
Just do it man! take the plunge. I did and am happy I did. Now mind you, I was originally looking at the new Softails, but they were a little too much for me. So I looked for a Harley in great shape, at a decent price and under a low mileage. I find most Harley guys take good care of their bikes, so it's easy to find them in excellent condition. I looked at the used Softails and found myself also checking out the now discontinued used Dyna's. Ended up buying a 2013 Dyna Super Glide Custom. The Breakout is one of the new Softails that I wanted to try out but never had a chance. This is one of my favorite videos you've done so far. Hopefully you get one in the future.
Thats good feedback man :) Thank you for the further confirmation. I have some other things to do first then I'll start shopping. Good to see your note my friend :)
I loved your reaction man... this is exactly how i felt when i upgraded from royal enfield 350 to sportster48 1200cc the smile and laugh experience was something similar
Man that's a BIG change! I can relate my friend :)
Yeah....that tongue in cheek thumbnail...you had me for a second cause I'm working on getting one...looks really badass!!
I'm saving my pennies. WANT!
Hey Dude! One of the best videos I’ve ever seen! Congrats!
Thank you so much 🙏
I was a sportbike rider. I was riding a hayabusa for 3 years, i sell it and i buy 2008 H-D Fat Bob.
It’s not about the speed, it’s about ride with style, relaxing! It was the best deal i make!!!
YES! I totally got that as soon as I rode that Breakout. It was a totally different attitude. Totally different riding style. I SO enjoyed it. Glad you got yours! :)
I just purchased a 2014 CVO Breakout with just 900 miles. It is being shipped now. Never even rode a Breakout so this vid was encouraging.
The 2018+ and newer had some chassis revisions that made it a little more stable/better handling. But I'm sure you'll really enjoy that gorgeous bike. I'm glad you liked the video. Ride safe my friend!
I would really like to hear from you after you ride it a few times. How is it??? How does it feel? Handle? Thanks man 👍
@@sstressfl The bike is in transit from VA to my home in NV. I should get it within a week!
@@itisaporsche I am so completely excited for you!
I hear you!! Might as well have been me talking from when I first took a test ride!! I just transitioned from a Ducati sport bike to a Sport Glide.....haven’t looked back since.
Glad you said that, I'm a first time buyer and rider, I was looking to buy the Ducati Monster but these buys looks so much cooler. I love this one and the Low Rider S. The only one I have ridden was the 883 at the dealership, didn't do it for me.
i just bought my 2019 Breakout today. what a bike, i love the power the look can't compare to another HD
Congrats 😎💪🙏 Very awesome 👏 I know you’ll enjoy that thing.
When I switched from riding a crocket rocket to a Harley, it felt like I was steering an armchair down the road. Much more comfortable for a long ride . :)
I can do 300 miles or so on my current gsxs750 then I need to be done. Most of that is the tight leg and poor seat. But the Harley made it clear how much more comfy a bike can be, and yet the breakout is considered one of the less comfy models lol
You’re not crazy. I have an ‘18 Breakout in twisted cherry and I love it.
Breakout in twisted cherry is such an amazing combo! its such a beautiful bike. Ive made up my mind that i want one in that paticular just waiting for one to pop up for sale here in Thailand haha. A year later for you are you still enjoying it? Whats it like sitting in traffic do you get alot of heat coming up between your legs?
@@BJWTF I had the bike for almost 3 years now and still love it. The newer M8 motors are no where near as hot “in the saddle” as previous engine designs. I can find no faults with my bike!!
@@bow66tie thanks for the reply mate. i love the look of them very much, went to a dealer sometimes ago to try it out for size and weight, me being 5'7"175cm i got no problem flat footing on the ground and the weight surprisingly feel nimble for the size. Just waiting for a twisted cherry come to come up for sale and im gonna pull the trigger 100%. anyway thanks mate!
Awesome review i just got a 2018 breakout and it makes me feel the same way!!
That’s very encouraging 😎👍 Enjoy that beauty!
A great review! Moreso because I've got a 2021 coming my way in a couple of weeks :)
Wow man you are going to have SO much fun on that thing :)
Damn, i love how you enjoy it. I'm smiling the whole video :)
pikaprd it was truly awesome 🤗 I felt like a kid!
@@markjaycox8811 You're killing me! I still think about that ride :) It is my goal! I'll shop for a used 2018 or newer in 2 summers.
lovin the "i really hate this harley because i really like it..." you sold me on a breakout. i'm going to upgrade to that from hd iron 883.
I’m still savin! Someday 💪😎
Great review my man, Just got a sub from the UK for that, Very funny... Love the Tag gives me away part lol I am 46 and changed to an Ducati Xdiavel S 2 yrs ago and the only guy with a cruiser but my god do they chill you out after a bad week :-) This bike looks and sounds fantastic
Ha! Thank you for the sun 👍😎 I was so shocked how laid back I felt!! So relaxed. All that power, that riding position, the aesthetic! I’m still saving and shopping for my cruiser. I’ll have to test ride the Ducati. It’s a gorgeous bike. Enjoy and be safe my friend 💪🙏
Glad you were able to finally take one out for a test drive! Acting like a kid in a toy store... haha
Thanks man. Ohhh I had so much fun :) We shall see what the future holds!
Ughhh ! Because of you I’ve been a bought a 2021 breakout today 😂
I think you nailed it perfectly what it means to drive a Harley and why they are cool. I want to try out this way off motorcykling after many years off sport motorcykles.
Thanks man 👍 I know you’ll enjoy it.... marvelously different 😎
Stop ittt, 58 years old, got my license 8 months ago.
15500 klms later on a Honda CRF 3000 rally, 4500 klm trip into outback Australia.
Sat on a new Breakout last weekend.
Cant ride one legally for 2.5 years.
Looks like a perfect 60th birthday present.
60 should be a great year 💪
I have a ‘17 Breakout . I absolutely love it 🖤
Most gorgeous Harley ever made IMO 😎👍
“Filing for divorce “ how true!!
there is a RPM gauge you have to cycle through the miles trip a trip b R miles and rpm on the bottom line of the gauge and there is a usb port under the tank.
Awesome :)
Hi Michael , great review, thanks a lot! One question: today I tested a BO and a Fat Bob (both with the same exhausts) but there was a vibration difference between them. Fat Bob was so smooth while BO vibrated significantly. Is it what you have noticed as well or maybe something was wrong with the BO test machine? Thanks in advance for your reply. Stay safe!
The BO I tested didn't vibrate as much as it pulsed when it was accelerating. I don't know if that's normal... I think I'd prefer smooth! The machine I rode had 10,000 miles on it AND it was in for service for a few weeks (they wouldnt tell me why) before it was available to test ride. But maybe the shake is normal on BO? Maybe its traditional? I wish I had more experience with Harley's. Perhaps one of the forums would be a good help?
@@sstressfl thanks Michael for the reply. I will test it again next week and talk to the dealer what/why could it be...
I have the same bike...love it. the are closing over 130 dealerships across canada....discontinued this bike so the price just went way way up.....supply and demand my friend.....you best pull the trigger ..
I’m gonna wait 2 years before I buy. I’ll look for a used one. Hopefully the price doesn’t stay too high 👍
Exactly the same reaction I had when I took one for a test ride ... it's now MINE 😍
That’s so awesome 😎🙏 Congratulations!! 👏👏👏
@@sstressfl really enjoyed the video, you captured the first time experience brilliantly. Did you buy one in the end or are you test riding others still?
@@TheBritChief I just finished paying off my current bike (Wooot!!!) was saving my pennies but now .... I have 3 kids that need braces! Lol Someday! 🙏👍
Exactly how I felt when I test rode a '06 Night Train with a 200 rear. It was the breakout before the breakout.
I have seen a few night trains for sale and truly like the way they look. To me it’s the ultimate Harley look. That low and stretched out stance with giant tire on the rear. Seduces me!
I lived on Mascoma St in Lebanon for many years before moving out West. That Harley dealership has moved several times over the past ~50 years. I did a trip back East in 2018 and stopped in to pick up a T-shirt. I've been riding Harleys since 1962 so you don't need to tell me about the sound, torque and look of those bikes. I'm currently considering a Breakout although the MoCo is intentionally limiting production to create the impression that this model is in demand. The dealerships are asking ~$7k over MSRP so I'll be sitting it out until sanity returns. Currently have an old FXR Evolution that is a rocket and my FXSTC that is my daily driver. Also a Road King for log trips. Wish you rode down my old street but that run down to Caanan is a nice putt too.
Since 62! That’s so awesome. I grew up during the AMF years and I only remember people complaining about the poor quality of Harleys and oil leaks. It left me with a berry negative perception. It wasn’t until I saw the Breakout in Vegas that I got curious. That thing stopped me in my tracks. First time a Harley had ever done that. After riding it, I can’t get it out of my head. The new one is nice but doesn’t have the raked fork. It’s a fat boy with diff forks and a larger front wheel. Still looks good! But not the same as the 2018-2020 model that had the revised chassis. That’s the one I want 👍 I’m glad you enjoyed seeing the old neighborhood.
I'm 6'6 ft . I'm dread thinking about starting HD breakout journey. What do you think about the size ?
I don’t think it would’ve too small. It’s a long bike. Good space. I’m 6’ 2” and it fits me like a glove. If you need space you could move bars and revise pegs. Harley is great about test rides. Go visit and ride a few diff bikes. Make sure you’re happy 👍😎
my love of my life on road is my 2017 denim white Breakout., we are just made for each other ♥
To me its the perfect "Harley". Stopped me cold in my tracks when I first saw one in Vegas... had to have one ever since. Still workin on it :)
Two things : 1) where is your jacket from ? Brand ? And 2) Would you recommend the breakout as a first cruiser ?
1) It’s a Joe Rocket Sonic 2.0 😎 They sell them in long! Mine is a medium long. Fits me like it was made for me. Fully armored. Thick 1.3mm leather. Ventilated zip out panels. Winter liner. Cool looking. It’s my fav. Here’s a link amzn.to/2ZY06Oe for more info but they sell them in many places. 2) If you’ve been riding for a little while, then yes! It’s an easy bike to ride. Very balanced. But it’s an expensive bike to insure and to repair. Harley parts are not cheap. If it’s your first bike, I’d go cheaper, get experience, then buy more expensive. Does that make sense?
@@sstressfl Awesome ! Gonna hunt down the jacket. I’m 5’11 + 215 lbs so... I’m assuming I’m gonna need an XL Long or something lol. I liked how it looked on you. Just like it FIT. Dope. And yeah, I been riding a little bit, dirtbike + SV650 owner, still probably gonna log more seat time before I even decide. Indian Scout Bobber Sixty + Yamaha Bolt Spec R also have my attention..
@@TopshelfJunior I plan to ride more cruisers too. I need more references. And spring is coming!! Woohoo! Ride safe my friend 👍🙏😎
I just got mine this weekend! Best thing I ever purchased!!!!
So incredibly awesome. Enjoy and be safe!
@@sstressfl I bought a 2020 Breakout 114 in the midnight blue.. its sad HD discontinued the breakout but if you can find one, go for it. its an incredible bike for sure.
@@Bronco2Cj We have some other financial priorities right now... but I havent forgotten. Lord willing, Ill be shopping for a clean used one in the future :)
@@sstressfl all good. take care of business, but whatever you do, don't ride a touring class HD....!! lol
Looking to buy first motorcycle and want one of these but was wondering if it’s a rideable bike for a 6’1”290lb beginner? Don’t plan on making long trips just riding around town.
I’m 6’ 2” and 200 lbs and I fit very well (edit, at first I thought you were talking about the gsxs750 that I ride). I have heard Breakout riders say its an easy first bike. Its very balanced. Fits tall riders great. IMO it would be easy to ride, BUT..... as a first street bike its pricey. Pricey to buy. Pricey to insure. Pricey to repair if you lay it down or drop it. Some people recommend starting with a cheaper Japanese bike as your first bike until you are more experienced. Thats my 2 cents. Hope it helps :)
I absolutely LOVE my breakout!
That’s awesome 😎
Bought my 2019 last summer and this video made me grin ear to ear. I already put about 2,000 miles on it and I still get gitty just looking at it. Like he said, that bike is just pure rolling sex. I think I developed an actual intimate relationship with my bike, lol.
Congratulations 👏👏👏😎💪
What a fun video. I clicked on it thinking it would be another "Harley's suck" video but I was surprised. 😂 Like you, I came from sport bikes to Harley's. My last sport bike was almost 18 years ago now I think. The last one was a Triumph. Before that it was Ducati. Before that it was Kawasaki (ZX-11, ZX-7). Like you, I thought Harley's were mechanical nightmares, horrible culture of snobbish riders, etc. All of which is patently false. The bikes are quite nicely made, very reliable, I don't have a drop of oil in my garage and the people are outstanding. I will say there are groups within groups in the Harley community of course, but this is true of all hobbies. You have the hardcore guys that think others are posers for this reason or that. If you ride with a helmet in my state about 30% of the Harley riders you pass won't wave to you. If you take the helmet off nearly all wave. For sport bike riding it's accepted to be in full leathers and helmets are part of the feel/culture of sport bikes. People paint their helmets to reflect their personalities. On Harley's the proper riding attire is a pair of jeans, boots, a ball cap on backwards and glasses. Modifications are almost mandatory in the Harley realm. A stock bike isn't fawned over as much as a custom bike at rides and events. But, as you noted, there's something about Harley's you don't get from other bikes. The engines are nothing short of amazing. I love the fact they marry old school tech with modern tech. The riding comfort is second to none. Anyway, I hope you get your Harley one of these days.
Man I appreciate the insight! Inflation has made me pause on getting the Harley but convinced the breakout is the one for me. Hope to find a good low mileage used one in the near future. I can’t wait 👍💪😎
There discontinuing the Breakout so if you want a new one you'll have to pull the trigger on it pretty quick and it's my favorite Harley too.
patman wainwright It’s so cool... I figure I’ll buy a used one in a couple years (2018 or newer) 👍😎 It’s stinkin’ gorgeous and is so very well balanced. No other cruiser does it for me.
@@sstressfl I agree 100%
Not in Europe.
@@andrewkitchenuk really?
False…
this is the best looking bike ever,
and once you get used to it, it really handles well
a smaller back tire will make it just perfect and a analog speedometer
The first time I saw one of these in Vegas (business trip) I was floored. Best looking Harley I've ever seen.
Then it wouldn't be a Breakout.
@@andrewkitchenuk 225 or even 215 is more than enough on the back both aesthetically and performance wise
any thing else custom wise is just a mere personal choice
My wife suggested Harley Breakout from many others that we were looking at, "this bike is you". Coming from my first motorcycle 85 gpz turbo, 77 xs 750, (girlfriend/wife)92 gsxr 750, 03 monster 1000ds. I didn't do a test drive when I bought mine but I felt like you without even sitting on it. Sexy as hell, if my wife knew the feelings that were bubbling up inside she would be jealous. I love the Saddlemen LS solo seat that came with it, much better than stock. VH big radius pipes and the VH tuner too. I tried wearing my Vanson cobra padded jacket, it doesn't feel right and I Iove that jacket but it doesn't fit the part. Mrs. Byrne, Michael needs this motorcycle. He won't tell you how much it has stirred his soul and won't let him think of another. The Breakouts essence has become part of Michael, they must become one, it is ordained. My wife just laughed, maybe a little heavy :)
You GET IT!! lol I love it.... yes man... yes I haven't forgotten. It is in my sights! So excited for you. I cannot WAIT to join you in that place. It aint too heavy man. You nailed it. Thank you for the encouragement!! Happy New year my friend!!
I'm buying one for my birthday in May. Here in new zealand we have the 2021 breakout.
Awwww man!!! You'll truly enjoy that beautiful machine!!
I currently ride a 2012 StreetGlide. I've been thinking about a second bike, something lighter, lower to the ground. I like the Breakout.
it has to be the most seductive bike I've ever been on. Fit me like a glove too :)
@@sstressfl - My issue is that I'm only 5"6" tall. On my StreetGlide I have the footboards to settle my feet into a comfortable position. Pegs with only forward controls may be an issue for me. I need to test ride one, to see if the bike fits my short legs. If the Breakout doesn't fit me, I'll probably look at a Fatboy.
@@ardyrides834 the breakout is a perfect fit for me and I'm 6' 2". But you might find you need diff bars or a different bar riser to bring the bars back a bit. But hey, the Fat Boy is really nice too! Let me know where you land!
Just got the last breakout!!!! 2020 and I love it!!! Now I have two Harleys they don’t make anymore!!!
So incredibly awesome 😎
They stopped making the 107 but still make and sell the 114 Breakout. I've ordered mine for delivery next April.

So, it’s been a year and flipping through your videos, I don’t see any Harleys in your garage. Has your mind changed? Do you still want this bike or No?
YES! Worse than ever! My wife and I have other financial priorities, but I am hoping next year will be my year!
I have a 06 Fatboy Custom, its got the fat rear tire as well something that was added from the previous owner I wasn't sure how the ride was going to be with the fat rear end but I'll tell you its not bad at all. If by reason of insanity I ever get rid of this bike I would only by a Breakout that's one awesome bike.
That fat tire… whew! It’s a very cool look 😎
I’ve been riding an Ultra Classic for years. Yes it’s not fast and doesn’t corner like a sports bike but it’s not designed to be in the first place. It’s fit for purpose and that is BIG miles and I mean BIG. It’ll see me out, I’m 67 and when I’m too feeble to hold it up I’ll convert it to a trike.
I totally got it as soon as I started riding. The Breakout put me in a totally different mind set. It's not even close to the same kind of riding experience as a sport bike and therefore it's not about speed and cornering, at least not in the same way. But that's what I really liked about it. I pray I'm still riding well into my retirement years... a trike will do :D Thanks for your feedback!
Can't wait to pick up my 2022 breakout in February
Europe??
Oz
Test rode 2021BO on the weekend and could not stop smiling during and long after the ride was over
@@apiloaloadravu5388 It completely sticks with you.... what a bike!
You made me look again on Harley Breakout.
I saw one in person and was in awe. Then I sat on it and it fit like it was made for me. Then.... as you can see.... the test ride. Wow.
Breakout ceased production for 2021.
@@pjeng1 Yes, sad but true. I like to imagine they'll consider another Breakout-like bike in the near future. For me, perhaps a gently used one is in my future.
Try the Harley Road KIng Special Shorter rake/dimensions so it turns so much better and it has a lot more lean angle than the Breakout.
august 31st is the end of the season ? funny i was the service manager for the sister dealership in Southampton mass (until that one was bought by Seacoast HD) and i'd never been there. being a Seacoast dealership expect pushy sales AFTER !!!
Its not literally the end of the season but when everyday is in the 50s and the trees are turning colors, then we all know the pain cometh soon!
May I suggest to you to join the Harley model specific groups on FB.
My experience is that there are often posts about people letting go of their bike for a decent price,
as long as they know the bike will switch into good hands and to someone who loves the model as much as they do.
Especially easy if you make a post into the group asking for bikes that are for sale.
Another nice features is that you can look at all their posts that they made in the group which often includes lots of pictures, videos etc.
Needless to say they will also provide you with lots of information themselves and most of the owners are located in the US.
Thanks for the heads up! I am part of a Breakout group on FB. Also on the forums! I enjoy seeing the mods, discussion, pics, etc. I'm keeping close tabs and learning a lot too. Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't considered that the groups would also be a good source to purchase. Now it's top of mind.
@@sstressfl Yes I need to say that those groups are pretty interesting, like a little micro cosmos on FB.
I myself ride a Harley Blackline which one could say is the predecessor of the Breakout (but with a skinny rear tire),
being build from ‘11 till ‘13 and it’s crazy how often people actually put them up for sale in the group compared to other places who rarely offer them
(either because of the switch to a touring model or because of a money shortage).
A nice little side effect is that often people will post for how many bucks a model actually sold at that specific time,
or how much they paid for a bike like this, so the seller will not go crazy with the price and the buyer will know how much the bike should be worth.
I can not get the full usage out of those groups tho because I live outside of the US, but they are still great fun.
@@A_Ride_To first time i've heard of a blackline. I googled it... it's gorgeous!! To me that is the ultimate coolest looking style on a Harley. It captures the essence of the brand. I'll keep my eyes on the market and the groups and the forums lol I havent forgotten my experience. And I'd like to add a Breakout (or maybe a Blackline!) to my garage in the near future. Thanks for your thoughts! Appreciate it!
16:56 My man hisses, “stupid bike” LOL…..
This bike..... wow..... why did it have to be so good? 😎🤣
I am looking at one these
6’10 36 inseam
I wonder how i will fit
Yeah that is tall!! I think you'd be comfy on a Breakout. It has some stretch to it. But, I have seen very tall riders like you gravitate toward the Road Glide www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/motorcycles/road-glide.html It seems to fit and is very comfortable for taller riders.
I was thinking about a Kawasaki vulcan 900 too
@@ogbigfoot9196 that’s a nice ride too. I plan to test ride one👍 I like the openness! It’s a great relaxing riding position.
I loved watching you in this videos 🤣. I have a 2013 CVO Breakout w/ mini Ape Fat bobber handlebars with the perfect pull back and cruise position . It's all in the right handlebars. It's comfortable and she handles little beautiful 👌
It's all "The Sexy"!!
Everyone loves RiTA😁
When I added a 1” lift to my handlebars it felt like a new bike. I agree! Bars make a huge difference in the riding experience. Sounds like you have an amazing breakout 💪😎 thanks for the feedback🙏
Does it have stock muffler or slip on?
The entire exhaust was an aftermarket pipe/slip on.
Thank you it a beautiful breakout
Gorgeous stunning bike.
I'd go the Lowrider S. Fun in the twisties as well as straight road riding.
The breakout owns me with its looks 😎
Good idea for a first bike? I’m tempted
I think with proper direction/lessons you can learn on anything. And this bike is so low so balanced, I can’t imagine it would be a problem. But when I first started riding street bikes I wanted light weight and affordable. So I bought a 600cc bike that weighed 380lbs and cost $3k. The Breakout is almost 700 lbs it’s very expensive and insurance is very high. If you lay it down it will cost a lot to repair. While you’re learning it’s possible you’ll drop it. Maybe more than once. So while I understand the temptation I think you might have more fun on a lighter and cheaper bike. It’ll reduce stress and allow you to learn without a lot of worry 👍
Am going to buy the breakout. I will have to park it at my friend's house for a year. During that year I will slowly, strategically and tactically convince my wife before I bring it home. Otherwise and like you said, I will be out permanently.
LOL!!! I shared this with my wife :) Had a good laugh. Maybe we can share rent at a place? lol
Definitely not crazy to fall for a Harley 😎
I know!
Harleys fucking rule bro! Yeah they aren't the fastest bikes on the road but it's a different mindset from sport bikes. It's about enjoying the journey opposed from how fast a guy can get to his destination.
And I did NOT understand that until I rode one. So cool.
@@sstressfl I absolutely love your enthusiasm throughout your video! When u get a Haley you should ride out to the #BlackHills and check out the #SturgisRally and we'll show you around!!👊😎
@@dynamite_reds3246 That would be amazing 👍
@@sstressfl check out my #IronMt video on my channel
@@dynamite_reds3246 Will do!
It makes you smile
I have a 2018 breakout with 16" ape hangers it's my favorite bike I've ever owned it's like the perfect mix of sport bike and cruiser
Nice! The power on that bike is seductive. Coolest ride out there IMO.
I have an '18 loved it from the first second i saw it. There is a learning curve with that 240 rear tire but just throw yourself over and it follows great! tons of power. very RARE bike never see these at bike nights or even daytona!
I was not a Harley fan until I saw my first Breakout in vegas at a dealership. The looks stopped me cold... its an incredible bike :) You have a great ride!
I Just got a 2019 Breakout today; Awesome Review 🔥****HAILZ****🔥
WOOHOOO!!! Congratulations!! Oh I hope I can too soon someday. Still focused on it! Just need more of that green stuff :) So completely happy for you 🙏
That was a nice ride
I’ll never forget the way that thing felt. Awesome bike. Still saving and keeping
my eye on the market. Someday, Lord willing 👍
with a little training it'll turn almost as well, Sounds like an Executive bike the Harley Managers and select Dealer managers are given demo bikes, at a Dealership i was at in South Carolina i had a Night Rod as my Demo bike , the cat is hidden in the exhaust, if money was no object i too would pick a Break-out but it's the Most Expensive of the softails.
I was surprised how well it handled. But it is a slow turning bike compared to my GSX-S750. But I wasn't complaining - the 2018 and newer Breakout with its tweaked chassis handles beautifully.
Harley + Karate = Tekken (paul)
I'm surprised HD sells or even rents the street 500 lol. I took my msf course on one of those, and if you ask me, they serve no purpose for anything beyond learning low speed maneuvers in a parking lot. I can't believe they want ten grand for one of those wretched little bikes.
It was so weak and did not deserve to have an HD logo on it. I’m glad it’s gone. Totally wrong in so many ways.
It’s been 2 years. Did you get a Harley Breakout?
I have not yet. Life has become more expensive. But I haven’t forgotten 👍💪
I revisited this test ride again. Such a great video. I own a 2019 breakout and I love it. Appreciate you man.👍🏻
Thank you Bill! Your feedback is encouraging. I keep pressing toward the goal! I hope to join you as a fellow breakout owner someday 😎
I don't think Harley has made a 500cc bike have they!? My Iron 883 has so much power and I don't lose anything on hills and can crank it and pass whenever I want. Only has a stage 1. I am about to get a 2024 Breakout 117 though, it's insanely beautiful and powerful as heaven!
It got great gas mileage :) americanharley-davidson.com/showroom/4/harley-davidson/3/motorcycles/1/1058/harleydavidsonstreet500 and yesssss the new. Breakout is awesome with its 117 🙌💪😎
@@sstressfl Oh wow, ok I thought they only made those in 750 cc, didn't realize they had a 500cc too. Looks like a good beginners bike. Interesting!
@@Nucklehead-mm9gf for the $ there are better bikes. I don’t think it sold well for Harley. And personally it did not help the brand. It was too slow too weak too small… it did not fit with the Harley brand .
@@sstressfl Probably why I didn't even know about it. 🤣
@Nucklehead-mm9gf you didn’t miss anything 😂
I bought a breakout in 2017 and 100,000 miles later she runs just as she did the day I bought her.
Wow!! It’s a fine bike for sure 👍😎
I'm looking at a 2020 model tomoz in Perth it's my first bike and it cost 29k but hey you only live once
29k is a lot!! But these are crazy times. Its a very balanced bike. Easy to ride. Take your time and build those skills. I know you'll enjoy it :)
I couldn't pass it up....2019 BO....What are you waiting on brother?
Wow that is awesome 😎💪 We have some financial goals we want to reach first then I’ll start shopping. Congratulations man. Wow that’s such a great bike.
@@sstressfl Yeah I get it brother....Hope you reach them goals and get that bike!
im gonna buy this one!!! 2019
I’m hope by next summer I can get one!!! I know you’ll love it 👍😎 Come back and tell me about it!
@@sstressfl I definetly will! Haha i enjoyed your video. Laughed my ass of when you said "if i take this home, I'll file a divorce" hahah good. I have a question, the bike I am looking at has 7000 miles on it, is that too much, 235k USD...(Sweden, it cost more here)
@@donthateinnovate1239 I hope you mean 23,500 USD! If that's the price and the bike is clean and runs solid I wouldn't worry about 7k miles but the m8 did have a problem with sumping until late 2019 (Harley fixed it later in the year). Here's a video on it... czcams.com/video/F2N7kwCspQE/video.html
7:09 shout-out civic type r 👌🏽lol
Wow!! Good eye!!! lol
@@sstressfl lol thanks ! That car I’ll spot it miles away ! My opinion a thing of beauty haha !
think i could ride this longer than 3 hours without getting a sore arse, back and shoulders😮
I dunno! But you'd need to stop and stretch it out every 130ish miles or so to fuel up. I don't think its comfy like a glide :) but it was more comfy than my gsxs750.
Try a Yamaha Raider
That’s a nice looking bike 👍
Put a deposit on a 2021 Breakout today!
I have other priorities right now but MAN I want to :)
@@sstressfl i put a deposit on a 2021 a few days ago!
@@noodles457 congrats!!!! Wow! I am seriously so excited for you 😎👍
@@sstressfl thanks mate!.
crazy, like a fox
Good news also, you don’t have to wear power rangers costume when on a Harley , unlike the sport bikes.
I am slowly accumulating Harley gear. Just not the Harley yet 😎
You just converted me.
I did NOT mean to! Stinkin' awesome bike....
@@sstressfl at 44 with 2 kids my sportbike days are over. wife also rather like cruising then leaning. It's not going to be a Breakout but 2014 dyna wide glide. great emotional vids you are making. I am going to click on some ads to make you few bucks.
@@petrturek5440 I looked it up! Man that's a good looking bike! Has similar style to the Breakout. Really cool!! Thanks for your kind words, support and encouragement :) My very best to you and your wife!
Ok, does anyone have any idea what the hell this guy initially rode? Being that most Harley’s are large displacement and even sportsters are generally 1200cc wtf 500cc is he talking about? Frankly if you went out of your way to get on whatever that was that’s on you. Every HD dealer is loaded with heavy cruisers and touring bikes….
Google “Harley Street 500”. Worst bike ever.
You're gonna need to have an IQ of at least 130 to understand this guy
Say what? No one has EVER accused me of being too smart.... it could be sarcasm! But I'll take it as flattery! :)
what about wind? I guess you are well dressed for it
The gear I wear is very effective against the wind. And I did talk about the parachute effect when I was returning on the highway against the wind. 👍
Harley makes a 500???
Yes... the Street 500. I don't think its offered anymore. It is not anything like a real Harley.
Give it too me if y’a don’t like it
Did you watch my vid review??? It’s an amazing bike 👍
Damn you really riled up the boomers on facebook with this one lol. Some of those comments in NER are just....strange
Ya know one very cool thing about youtube/fb groups, etc is that you get to see incredibly diverse opinions, experiences, histories... and I have to admit, I learn from all of 'em. I always say that behind every person's eyes is a universe of life and memories that is completely unique to that individual.... what's strange to them might be normal to me and vice versa. And in this context? No matter how weird we are, riding brings us together :)
@@sstressfl Absolutely! Thanks for continuing to make these videos
@@patw9175 Thank you so much!
Stop saying “boomer”. Makes you sound like an instant tool.
awwww dudes! hahahaahah
Jajajaja. Thets a nice bike
Now he needs to try out an Indian.
I plan to!!
Harleys are useless piles of rubbish. Entice you with looks only to make you hate life because they are 40 years behind the times. Buy a Yamaha Roadstar or a Honda Shadow. Avoid Harleys like covid-19 bro. Complete garbage. Yes I have a disdain for them due to all the years watching buddies deal with them.
I have the same history... and the price is so high. Its exactly why I hate that I like this bike so much. It was a true joy to ride. And it looks amazing. I plan to continue to ride other cruisers - because the entire cruiser genre is new to me - so we shall see how it plays out. But, that Breakout.... daaaaang.
@@sstressfl The only Harley I'd own is a V-rod. Hopefully one day you'll have an opportunity to ride one. Porsche did a phenom job on the engine. As for myself and all the years riding all sorts of various bikes I'll stick with big four island bikes. Although, man there is nothing like a Triumph triple when it comes to the torque and hp blend. They really have done a number with their 3-bangers.
@@betterthannotgoodmtb I'm a happy V-Rod Muscle owner for 5 years. The bike is absolutely bulletproof and a work of design art with all the aluminum castings and that hydroformed frame. Is it everybody's cup of tea? Nope. But it sure is quick and despite the 670 lb weight and 240 tire, handles fairly well. You should try to snag a ride on one sometime. It's definitely not your typical Harley product.
@@zf4hp24 I've rode the V-rod and it was alright out of all of them I have been on. The V is great because it has an engine engineered by Porsche.
That 500 cc thing you were riding isn't a Harley, your 1st Harley experience should have been a 1980's vintage 80 CI rat bike, that will wake you up
No the 500 is def not a real Harley. The breakout sure is 👍
Yes it is, and HD herd you with the brand new 2023 117 edition hummmmmmm
@@tomkarnes69 YES!!!! This is the first I've heard of it!!! THANK YOU HARLEY!!!!
Darn, darn, darney darn 🤡
I stole it from czcams.com/video/iHpzPtlu1xY/video.html
