I went into the HD shop today to get the warranty extended, that’s about $1,100 for the year. I have no intention of upgrading my bike at this time. But he says to me, “We will cancel the extended warranty and swap your 2017 eGlide for a 2019 Breakout Plus the $1,000...?.... I know it is apples to Oranges, but I will be moving to Vancouver next year and it would be a better city bike.... whatcha think?
Yes sir , the new Breakout's are awesome ! My friend That I will be riding with to Nelson bought the 18 last year and rode 9000 Km on it so far . He loves the new design , and it handle's much better than the older design .. I got to take it for a rip with the 107ci and wow , and it's only stock . He has no intention of upgrading to stage one , but hey , he's been riding for over 50 years , I guess he's earned his right to do whatever he wants .
I would also seriously consider the Slim , love the look and handling of that bike . Should the wife ever decide to quit being a passenger , I would trade the King for it in a heart beat .
Nope, you wouldn't be happy back stepping. Couch bikes treated you well and you ride it, going back to street combat machine that'll beat you silly with your habits makes no sense. You got a the pan for town playing.

While I am in there today, this guy ( 78 years young) comes in and takes a Low Rider out for a spin.... comes back and asked me what I think about a Decker ( I was just cleaning the bugs off the front of Darla).... I said, great for Touring but can be a Bear in the City in stop and go .... he then takes a Heritage out for a ride ..... comes back and by now I am back inside talking to Chuck, the owner..... I asked him which one he was buying.... he said Guess..... I hesitated for a moment , and he says “which ever one you pick, your right ..... I will take them both”...... and paid cash for them.
I said to Chuck after he went back to ink the deal “The only mistake you made was not offering him to ride the CVO Ultraglide, cause then he would have bought 3 today”.
My buddy has a '15 breakout, good bike no real problems to speak of. It's not a distance bike at all, he has 15000 miles on it and we just put his third tire on. My only complaint is the low speed handling feels odd to me, but it is overcome within minutes. Your bike, your decision.
