I've seen them mentioned before. That's the first time I've seen pics. I don't think it's terrible. Just not my style.. Good thing about Harley is they seem to have a little something for everyone.
I do kinda like the rims..

When I was an ankle biter, our family friend had a Harley with a huge rear tire, ever since then all of us brothers have had a secret love for that look.

I originally had my eye set on the Softail slim way way later down the road, but I like the breakout's big ***. Only dislike is the chrome, and the $2,000 price difference for just the wide tire setup. Internally I think they are identical, I can't tell by the websites info alone.

One wonders how often H-D can dip into their nostalgic bikes for a new model. Seems like an endless cycle. I wonder if they'll go far enough back, to like 1915, to give us a new model...

The real question is who is upgrading to "BOLT"? The all new old school, new thinking, modern performance, back to basics, steel fender, belt driven adrenalin machine!

I think the breakout is a cool looking bike.
That chrome horn (I assume it's the horn) grille on the front annoys the crap outta me though.

I really like the look of the Breakout. I like the rake, big rear tire. 103 6 spd.
