I really do not like the brown graphics they put on the tank and fender.....yuck. They should have stuck with all black and maybe some flat black graphics would be good instead of the brown....did I say YUCK.

The power to weight ratio of our big, heavy, bad handing, cruisers far surpasses most other types of vehicles on the road and therefore renders them "faster" than most other vehicles (IE: most cars, trucks, etc.). Are they the fastest "motorcycles", no but their fast enough to talk about their power and handling abilities on a website devoted to that brand...
This is a Harley website. We all know they aren't Ducati's or we'd be discussing Ducati's latest bike on their website.
Rant over, please continue.

DITTO Well said.
Slow compared to Ducati's... yes. I always find it funny when those who ride sport bike's or those who have ridden them are so quick to point out how slow Harley's are as if that somehow makes them slow overall, thus relegating any discussion on their power and handling as folly.

I don't see what the issue or big fuss is- a lot of guys own both a Harley and a Ducati or other sport bike. Each bike does what it is designed to do well and has its own particular shortcomings. So I think you guys are saying the same thing in spirit.
I'll be the first to bitch about my Softail being lame in corners, not as agile through traffic and much longer braking distances. And I'll also be the first to bitch about my R6 being uncomfortable on long rides. Both of these gripes are comparative ones though having ridden both types of bikes for many years.
And Da-Rza21 I know you REALLY wanna talk about lady gaga dontcha? I mean, that's totally cool man. I know you like the whole small hands thing . waahahaa.

lol thanks EagleRay- Really good group of admins here, if they smack me down for something I probably deserved it 
So how about that 2016 Breakout S / CVO? I'm liking a lot of the new stuff on it, just not feeling that small front wheel. Throws me every time I see it.

Neither am I fond of the 110 cui engine...my rather mild upgrade on the 103 (stage 1 plus cams) performs just as good as the stock 110 maybe even better
.Eventually...when I see the silhouette of that CVO Breakout it instantly reminds me of the Street 750....see?

your the one who is ranting...just made a simple point to their argument...I love all motorcycles and motorcycles are my life...I have over 30 motorcycles in my fleet and build them from ground up as well..so I do love Harleys and Italian bikes,jap bikes and so on and have and still race them...but yes they are slow they are pigs and don't handle well...but they still do serve a purpose..they look great and are fun to ride...on a more relaxing level...just saying..also everything you said is true but so was I...and we can talk about anything we want on this forum...except for maybe lady gaga or the khardashians
Anyway, ride on!

What I wrote earlier....the only real improvement, IMO, is the dual disc front brake. Only combined with the small 19'' wheel....su***. The combo 18'' in the back and 21'' in the front are features that make up the Breakout. Some people rather tend to go for a 23'' front rather than a smaller one.

lol on the Street 750 reference- totally I can see that. it is amazing how a wheel size change can transform the entire stance and look of a bike.
