Amazingly different how? I'm debating my first Harley and it's a toss up between a Street bob and the Breakout.

- 21X3.5 Front wheel with 120 Metzeler Tire
- 18X6 Rear wheel with 180 Metzeler Tire
- Forward controls.
Observed Differences are:
- Breakout vibrates lot less. I mean, lot less.
- Riding position is more forward on Breakout (also with forward controls). I also ride a Ducati Superbike. This is somewhat of a welcome similarity, allowing you to get more of your weight on your legs over bumpy surfaces.
- Breakout, as a softail, has a smoother ride.
- StreetBob was lighter, but Breakout feels lighter due to its low(er) center of gravity.
