Can't really compare em in my opinion, two totally different styles of bikes. In fact those were the two bikes I was deciding on. Throw-back or drag bike, neither was "better"
It just came down to which look I wanted. I decided on the slim, but if I had the money I would have gotten both!
So if you feel the breakout is the baddest why did you choose a slim?

Well said! I do prefer looking over that big FL front end ........however , I will say the breakout handled much better than I expected .......but, the Slim is the best handling of any HD Big Twin .... My .02

I agree that each are from two separate mind sets.
As it turned out, monthly mortgage payments on the Slim had already exeeded my budget by $60. after trading in my sporty.
In the end, what mattered most was a bike that made two up riding less of a hassle.
Who knows. After the youngster's done with college in four years... Her mom may want a fortyeight.
