Nobody's asking but,,,,: IMHO 1) this doesn't hold a candle to the older CVO's and 2) There are close to a half dozen guys on this thread the MoCo could have (should have) hired to design this project. Give any one of em a BO and 10 grand and they'd produce a BO that would kill this thing. "My $0.02".
Like I wrote earlier when the 1st posts about this bike came up....reminds me of a pimped out Street 750....
+1 the small front wheel kills it as that is one of the main visual styling cues of a "pro street" bike and the Breakout line's heritage. With the small wheel it looks more like a sport bike (a.k.a. Street750). I do like the inverted forks but not that particular style they chose. the lowers are really clunky looking. I'd put a new set of PM rims on it, 21" front wheel and call it a day. I actually think they did a decent job with the fairings, but I also think they should have made it optional. the black triples are a nice touch.

I never criticize anyone for their choice, but I have to agree. I love my 2015 Breakout (std model). Did the stage 1 upgrade, added edge cut everywhere and the chrome turbine wheels. Added other miscellaneous chrome and to me it is perfect. Don't need 110 motor, my bike seems to have loads of torque. Not sure how many of these HD will sell, don't like the paint and don't like the wheels, in my opinion. But the new fat boy lo S is another story, that is a sharp bike.
I'm also a bit bummed that they dropped the previous CVO wheels. those were some damn nice wheels. Woulda looked slick in black too.
for the Slim S and FB Lo S - well done HD. those are some really nice new models. but HD kept the "heritage" legit with both of those bikes, both still look like a Slim or FB. Whereas with the BO S, they changed one of it's most important styling cues and not really for the better. All JMHO - some may actually prefer the look of the smaller wheel and that's all good too.
