sorry to say this when I had my 2016 low rider serviced and thought I would entertain trading it for another low rider or breakout 114. But they are a let down for me. Breakout is ok but can only do a stage 4 on a 114 and that isn't much compared to my 120R... Plus the black handle bar and black headlight frame doesn't look good to me at least! I love baggers for looks but baggers are not my bag! (so to speak).... Maybe many others don't care if the dyna low riders have been discontinued and nothing else fill in for it except maybe the breakout comes a little close but? See what 2019 brings. Put chrome back on the bikes please !~
For now I will stick with this guy!

To be fair he didnt judge the performance or ride quality of the bike. Just the looks. Which makes sense. I've never ridden a goldwing and dont have to. I think they're ugly and would never be happy owning one. Not really "judging a book by its cover," if you ask me.
Honestly, I think there's only one or two of the new softails I would consider owning. Cant get passed the looks either. I do own an M8 but its in a RGS.

interesting vid. talks about lean angle being lacking! Also vid. has a graph showing stage kits on a 114. Top HP stage 4 is about 120. torque is better on a stage 2 kit. Lacks torque compared to a stage 2. for whatever that's worth. I bet however it is a screamer. Got to have performance exhaust and I assume the dyno graph is with the stock exhaust!
The 3.5 gl tank is a pain. No thanks I'll keep mine! 134HP and 136 torque.. 5 gl. take, great lean angle! Breakout looks sporty but the ride can't be that great. Looks like riding a motor cross! just my opinion! No need to test ride for me ! But I might reconsider !

I think your bike looks awesome and wouldn't swing a leg over another until something speaks to you. Myself I like a mix of black and chrome and that is what I have been doing to the last few bikes.
