Default 2018 Breakout

Like all the Softails the Breakout did get the 107 and 114. Changed the headlight (funny looking), smaller tank, no tank bib, wheels, exhaust, digital gauges, blacked out trees, and adjustable rear shock or shocks. Probably a few more things I didn't see. I assume a CVO will be later.

The headlight appears to be from the V-Rod?

I like it, and it's also now 35lbs. lighter...That 114 with 119 ft. lbs. of torque would be sweet (107/109ft lbs.).... I also noticed that it now only has a 3.5 gal. fuel tank, sounds a little small to me, but it does say it gets 47mpg....

I like it except for the headlight and gauges. But not a deal killer. The 119 lbs of torque is great. I almost traded my Breakout on a 2017 Street Glide Special this past weekend. They changed that bike some too. I'll wait now.

harley usually measured hp and tq at the crank. I doubt that's at the wheel in stock form. Give it a few years and let the aftermarket fully catch up.

That tank is ugly as all hell. From the side, it looks like a Sportster tank...

And LOL - 3.5 gal!?

Some people are going to get sick of gas stations.

Maybe that's their marketing plan to get you to sit and show it off all time.

Gas tank capacity is irrelevant since bikes get trailered everywhere these days

The 2018 Breakout is a cross dresser? I mean a mixture of Muscle Vrod and Breakout with sporster looks? It looks a bit like Indian bike now
