If I bought another Harley it would be an Evo, not a remaining '18.

I've already owned an '18 Breakout. The only other '18 model that really interests me is the Sport Glide, but not enough to get me off my Low Rider S.

I've thought about the Breakout as my next bike. How did you like it?

Excellent bike. Huge improvement over the older model. I put 4833 miles on it in 5 months, toured round Wales and numerous long day trips. Comfortable enough for full days in the saddle, effortless to ride, super smooth and stable, and more than enough grunt for fast road riding. Chassis and suspension are really good, and the lean angle only becomes a problem on really tight twisty roads. If i could afford to run 2 bikes, i'd probably still have it.

Your avatar is the Low Rider S of which you spoke in your post? Why'd you choose that over the Breakout? Do you prefer the mid controls over the Breakout's forward controls?

You ask "Which 2018 Harley is Right for You?" and the answer is real simple. None of them is right for me, I will stick to my old 07 Road King, and maybe a old sportster some day, but that is it. I am too old for new rides now.
