My brother in-law has an older Breakout, we've swapped back and forth and both came to the same conclusion, the new frame design feels much more planted, little smoother suspension, little lighter feeling. He has the usual goodies, exhaust, intake, tuner on the 103 and the 114 (granted with a cam) has a noticeable advantage...as much as anyone doesn't want to hear it...
But...at the end of the day..both amazing bikes and an absolute blast to ride!

Yep, I'm a little biased to be sure, but all in good fun, (thanx ). I'll admit that at first sight the 2018 BO had me drooling now I figure the only reason the MoCo shortened the WB and the tank is that they'd never have been able to sell any other model if they hadn't.

Can't really dissect it bro. Maybe just chalk it up to frostback humor ?

Thanks yes they are the cvo machined face wheels. The 468 cam really wakes up the M8, sounds tough and goes great!

I just realized Metzeler doesn't make a tire size 130/60b21. What do you guys run on the front?
