good review mate. Do the M8 engines still have that Harley sound and feel? I have seen comments saying 'honda' etc. I test rode the slim S (2017) with the 110 obviously. Im considering staying with the 2017 models and not the new models because of these comments. All reviews have been with stock exhausts which does not sound good at all. I have owned a 2013 fatbob and a 2015 night rod special. All great bikes
Great review David. I enjoy all your reviews. Can I ask your height / weight & inside leg? I current have a 2013 Fat Bob and it fits me well - actually love it. 5’11” / 100 kg / 31” inside leg
Haven't ridden a new Slim yet, but (logically) assuming it handles even better than the 2015 model that I did test - it would be my pick. Breakout is good if you want that fat rear end and long-low look.
Good to see one ridden thru bends, the American reviews just riding in a straight line are pointless.

Aussie Rider I listened to a 114 Fat Boy at my local dealer fitted with V&H 2 - 2 Big Radius. Sounded great.
With valve exhausts like kess tech, and it's perfect. Thanks.
Good review of the 2018 model Breakout Dave.

Roll on 1/3/18 ... I pick one up
Oh and another question. How did you find the instrument cluster with sunglasses?? Easy to read?
Nice review Dave, thanks
Thanks again David, ... I'll pop this on the short list now. .... Fat Bob is on there too.
Nice review Dave which bike would you prefer? The slim or breakout?

David Cohen its good hearing reviews by another aussie great job mate. By the way i;m from Melb. Cheers.😊
Peg scraping issue much better?
Luv the license bracket. Do you know who made it?
I think it's a Tail Tidy brand.
tank is hideous....
The peanut tank is awesome and with 47 mpg it still has a range of 164-miles, which is plenty for bar hopping.🍺🍺🍺
What's your opinion on this vs the Fat Bob?
The main difference other than hugely different styling is the back tyre. The Bob chucks around easier and is more 'sporty' because of it.
im in the same boat grant, cant decide between the fat bob or the break out, fat bob handles really well,
good to hear an Aussie review too dave!!
Great review Dave
You might want to revise your video title as it’s not the year 2108
Thank you - dang keyboard :-)
The model year of this bike is 2018 so I feel the title fits.
It was incorrect when I first posted it - typo. Since corrected.
