Default Softail Breakout

I had no idea they were going to release a non-CVO version of the breakout, but I just got an email about it, so I got on HD's website and check it out & sure enough...there it is.

I think that's the best looking Softail HD has made in recent years. I like the standard version better than the CVO. Priced at $17,899 it's a bit on the pricey side.

FX front end, 35 degrees of rake, black cast wheels with 21 inch front, 240 rear tire, pegs instead of floor boards, black fork lowers, black drag bars...The bike just looks right IMO.
I see cues from the Night Train of past here...not the same but there are similarities.

I think even at that price they will fly off the showrooms. Not going to be the most comfortable bike to ride probably, but the cool factor is definitely there IMO.

I may get a lot of disagreements on this, but I think the MoCo did right on this bike.
