Bye Bye Breakout
Bye Bye Breakout
Today is the day. Going to trade the Breakout in on a Street Glide. I'm happy and sad all at the same time.
Loved the Breakout nothing wrong with it and as you can see from my for sale posts I bought a lot of stuff for it. However being moved and cramped when riding 2-up wasn't working out too well.
Thank you for all on this board for your posts. Help, advise and suggestions. I learned alot and had fun doing it.

I still haven't test rode one yet. I know it's only about 80lbs heavier than my Lo, but with some of the weight higher up, I'm wondering if I would end up missing my Lo.
Thought about having 2 bikes, but hard to justify with our "seasons" here in the NE.
Still might try one and then just sell whichever bike sits the most. Maybe. LOL
Let us know how you like it. Especially on the back roads and in town places.

I test drove one at Demo Days. Rides pretty well. When I sit on the SG the weight distribution is such that it doesn't feel as heavy as it is. Feels lighter than the Breakout.
I ride almost daily so I can give you an idea soon.

My plan is to pay off the Breakout within a few years and purchase a 2nd bike for 2-up. In my case I am single so it isn't a priority otherwise I probably would've purchased a Touring bike instead.
Like you said the Street Glide actually "feels" lighter due to distribution. My step father has an 09 SG that I ride from time to time, and everything about it feels lighter from picking it up (from the kickstand that is) to cornering.
Best of luck on the new bike, ride safe!

I saw this thread and thought my old one had been recycled. I was in the same boat for awhile and share your sentiments. Hopefully the dealer will help you out on the trade, they weren't going to be very fair with me at the time.
