Only thing I'm mainly bashing about is the lame smaller front wheel. I don't see why fix something that ain't broke, and was one of the calling card signatures of the bike's style. throws the whole style off IMO. There is no benefit to the smaller front wheel. It is not going to handle any better, especially with (again) the wrong size 130 tire up front. I can appreciate everything else.

"Lame smaller front wheel" Why is it lame? Why will it not handle better? It will change direction better than a 21...what's your idea of 'better handling"? " The 130 is the wrong size"...because you said so??

I turned 52 yrs old today and I don't believe that someone at this age is what Harley-Davidson had intended as their demographic target, but I think this CVO Breakout is a home run.
I have always been a sportbike enthusiast and I ride a heavily modded Yamaha R1. I love the thrill of speed and ripping through the canyon on these machines.
I know this CVO Breakout is not a canyon carver but I will see if I can scratch up the coin for this beast.
I can understand the mixed opinions on a new design. Fortunately HD will come along with a bike that will please the next person to a "T".
Thunderbike Customs rear fender with a 260mm tire on the back would be a must for this new CVO Breakout (just sayin).
Ride safe guys.

Not worth arguing over Henry- We all have our opinions. Do your own research and draw your own conclusions. If you dig it, that's totally cool. That difference of opinion and taste is what makes this a good forum.

but your are right the smaller diameter wheel would make a difference if it was mated with a shorter degree of rake...worthless with 35 degree rake....10-15 degrees less of a rake & mid controls it would be perfect...rode a dyna the other night with full ohlins & a 127 cu in motor along with bst wheels...and I was amazed how that thing handled damn near dragged a knee on it...but it wasn't mine so......
