I am currently a new member and new to riding as well. I recently obtained my motorcycle endorsement and now in the process of looking at bikes to purchase. I currently have my eyes on the Softail Breakout. This is the most appealing and sporty looking bike I have found yet. Any comments or opinions from Breakout owners concerning this model?

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!

Stuff you are talking about up above in your OP (Original Post), needs to go to the proper and more relevant area to get our riders input.
In the UPPER LEFT corner, just take your mouse and ROLL OVER Forums and come down to the section (or subsection) that you feel is most appropriate. It is that easy.
Thank you my friend for understanding.
It is GREAT to have you here with us.
Warmly & Respectfully,
