Why spend the cash on the Breakout? Just build a sick chopper.

My wife and I decided we wouldn't get another motorcycle without ABS beside you can get a five year warranty.

so, I'm not the only one. Guess it's like the crossbones. A lot of people hated it, but I loved it, of course I've decided to only own springer models. I like the breakout if for no other reason it's generated publicity for the MoCo again. I am in no way putting the breakout down, just surprised at the amount of people who really get into it. Glad they do... always good to see a new bike be a hit

Everyone has their own taste. Obviously I'm biased since I own a Breakout but its my dream bike and I've been waiting for HD to build this bike but IMO its HDs way of bringing a new custom look to compete with all of the custom bike builders out there snagging their sales. I think the Rockers are sweet too with the Heartland kit too.

My rocker c has a 250 on the back with progressive shocks front and back and rides like a dream. After the Danny Gray seat WITH GEL, the shocks were the BEST upgrade I did!!! Made a huge diff. in riding, steering and position of the front end of the bike. The stock setup needs to be tweeked and refined to be it's best.

I love the CVO's. I would have bought one if my knees didn't hit the handlebars in turns. sigh.. . It sucks having a 36" inseam.

I'd be pretty happy leaving the Breakout close to stock. Many pictures I see of modifications take it in the direction of looking more like an ordinary Harley. Like the Rocker, it has a unique and artistic sculptured look that I'd want to be very careful about messing with.
