LOL- there are a lot of sick bikes in this thread, Slim, Rocker, FB, Heritage etc. - check out the 'what did you do to your softail today' thread. quite the variety.
i think the Breakout is a lot of converts first harley. it was mine. so there are a lot of threads because we all need to learn about them. now i realize there are a lot of threads that seem more bragging but in general i think that is why you see the most breakout threads on here. by no means is the breakout the most popular harley. i know they sell but i almost never see them out even at the bike nights or charity rides.
I was thinking the Slim S was the big topic then the break out stuff came on strong. I like them both an IF I were in the market for a new bike those would be the 2 I look at, but for now an maybe for the rest of my riding days I'll stick with my paid off EVO Fatboy. I always say ride what you like and/or what works for you an right now the FB is working nice for me.
I remember looking for information on the Breakout and finding an old thread from 2013 where someone said something to the effect 'I don't like it, the Breakout is just a fad... will come and go just like the Rocker'...
