My Breakout is my first Harley and I'm quite smitten with it in just over two weeks of ownership. I also don't know much about other Harley models to really know if something else would be appealing...that big rear tire and low-slung stance would be hard to beat.

Bought a heritage classic when I really wanted a bagger ended up putting hard bags on and a complete fairing couldn't be happier. Got the low seat ride good suspension and makes a great touring bike. Only issue is grinds a bit in corners.

Road king classic or road king. Road king special is nice but the regular road king would function better for me.

My wife says that I am crazy to want a road king over my current bike. Don't see a lot of springers anymore and I doubt that HD will ever bring them back but 50 new models in 5 years you never know.
