5 star comparison video. Extremely informative and not an infomercial. The honesty with the pros and cons is refreshing. Keep up the great content Matt.
Screaming eagle cvo pro street hands down best breakout built with loud pipes it has that pure Harley sound
I said it once and I repeat: "you're better than my local Harley salesman!"! Thanks again.
lone wolf haha thank you
I have a 2018 Breakout 114, I love the small tank. It really shows off the Milwaukee 8.
Yup! I think it suits the style of the bike
I think it looks like a sportster in person it’s even worse to look at why do you want to show off the engine I’d much rather a bigger tank it’s lost it’s staunch look plus the m8 has a jappa sound lost its sound aswell
The 3.5 gal tank has a range of 164.5 miles which is plenty for a bar hopper. That’s about the same range as my V-Rod Muscle with a 5-gal tank. The CVO 110 twin cam comes with the cam chain tensioner defect so the engine can blow at any time. The CVO has a price premium of $5,000.00 for the paint and a few extra HP. I’ll stick with the M8 114.🇺🇸 PS There aren’t any canyons in the mid-west so the 240mm fat tire is perfect and looks great.
I love my 2017 CVO Breakout, right at this moment it's at the dealer getting a new exhaust and Fp3 tuner installed. I went with Bassani Radial sweeper. Can't wait to go pick it up!
I have a 2018 breakout and what makes it a better turner is you have to counter steer . It turns on a dime then . Counter stealing will make the bike lean on command so you don’t fight it through the turns . After a year of riding it it’s second hand nature . No more the bike fighting you to stay into the turn and it can help with taking them wide
I have a 2019 BO and it turns easily when using counter steering just like my previous 2012 V-Rod Muscle. PUSH RIGHT🤛TURN RIGHT, PUSH LEFT🤜TURN LEFT.
I have a 14 with 16'' apes. It's got a few goodies and it's faster then your typical breakout. I grew up on dirt bikes and Gixxer 1000's. I like that this bike likes to be ridden. It works best when your abusing it and riding it hard. If you know how to send it through corners at high speed I assure you it can and will do it. You definitely have to learn how to abuse this bike, that's when you really understand what the bikes all about. That's when you fall for it. Every bike out there is enjoyable at most when you start to really figure it out. Be safe out there. Enjoy this life.
I have a pearl white 17 Pro Street. I put VH big radius and a FP3 made a huge difference. I looked at an 18 Breakout the big turnoff was the 3.5 gal tank. I also love having the 110 twin cam . The weight difference is 30lbs I think not even an issue for me. The CVO is so refined. I'll stick with it. If I want more I'll throw cams in.
Great video Matt. Keep them coming.
3 CVOs and an SS cool. Thanks for the comment from an owner of the bike.
Great video Matt. I enjoyed hearing all three of you discuss these bikes. It was interesting because each of you had slightly different opinions. Showed that 2 or 3 people can ride the same bike and each experience will be slightly different. I'd love to see more videos like this where you guys take out different model years of the same bike and give your impressions.
That 2017 Breakout is SICK!
anyone considering a '14-'17 breakout, even though it got poor reviews compared to the '17 cvo and '18 M8 bikes. It's a great bike. You will not be disappointed. most ppl modify their bikes anyway, shotgun shocks, Stage 1 air breather and pipes. I took my '14 BO on a 2-day 1,000 mile ride the day after I got it and loved the experience.
Yea, they are good bikes.
Thanks man I’m getting a CVO was gonna get the 2019 Breakout but I love the CVO look !
I bought a 2013 CVO Breakout and absolutely love it.
Great video matt, I've riden a 2015 breakout, and my bike is the cvo. The cvo in my opinion is one of nicest harleys to ever leave the factory, I just love it, and I've ridden a few harleys.
Awesome review as always, love the honesty from everyone. Only 6 months until my full licence and I get to upgrade from my Street 500. Very tough decision on what Harley to get next! Keep them coming Matt. Will from Aus.
William Smallacombe nice man. Good luck on your upgrade decision
I the 2018 Softails they are a lot better than the old ones great video thank you Matt take care
Yea, they really are
I appreciate the honesty and therefore I have the highest respect for you and your guys Matt. As i've told you before i'm moving to Phoenix in the next couple of months and I'll be buying my next bike from you. Btw I have a 12 RG & 14 CVO BO and I love them both as I have all of my HDs. Keep up the great work..we appreciate it.
Love that CVO. Almost chose it over my Low Rider S. Paint on those is gorgeous.
Great video, appreciate the honest opinions. 2016 Fat Boy S, my current bike.
Really Good Video, explaining the different models, I love my custom breakout! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the videos, Matt!
Keep them coming!
They are bar-hopper bikes!
They ARE all BEAUTIFUL thou!!
Matt let's face it David is just an Old School OG Beast. I agree with what he is saying 100%. I ride my 13 FLSTC and then get on my Ultra and 1200 Sporty and you really feel the difference. The new M8 is great for the large touring bikes when doing long hauls. Breakouts are bar hoppers even though a friend of mine road his to Sturgis. I still give him props for that. I love the new 114 Heritage and the new frame and may pick one up at some point.
He is an OG Beast. Thanks for the comment brother
Breakouts are cool. Out of the 3, I'd go with the '17 CVO, even though the '18 M8 is the better engine on the better frame. I prefer the CVO 19in front wheel and inverted suspension. Looks-wise, the CVO is just killer. Would love to see a 2020 Breakout CVO or any 2020 Softail CVO for that matter.
I've got a 17 breakout and started tricking it out, love it! So I'd suggest not just disregarding it now the new range is here. Remember, people loved them before the 18 range and so they can't be garbage suddenly! The 17 BO it's an awesome bike once tuned and modded accordingly. Best Harley (and bike actually) I've had yet... V&H short shots and stage one, sounds evil too!
The old breakouts are great. Enjoy it!
Matt Laidlaw love your reviews and videos, in fact your original breakout review tipped me towards the bike. Needs more clearance that's all!
Yeah I definitely love your videos. They're so much more interesting compared to what other people are doing, if you really like Harleys and follow what the company's doing. You just have way better access and perspective, if it's your family business. And it's clear you put effort into actually making these videos; it takes time.
I feel like it's more driver than it is the bike. I had a great time in the hills with my breakout. Not saying you can't ride, but once you get use to the 240 it's all good. I also own a YZF600R. The smaller tank would be a problem on longer trips, but I've drove all day having fun and got gas at the end of the day. I have a 2018 and I changed the bars. The bike is super smooth at all speeds.
Great video comparison. I'd go CVO looks, inverted fork, comfort, 19 inch wheel. But need to improve performance of engine with exhaust, intake, cam n tune
Top 3 Harley TH-cam channels for sure.
LamborghiniDreaming thank you! I appreciate that. What are some other Harley channels you watch ?
No worries bro! I watch Adam Sandoval rides, Blockhead , and Bike N' Bird. There are A few more but your channel and those 3 are the ones I frequent.
I loved the honesty of this review. I'm a relatively new rider and initially thought I wanted a 2018 Fat Boy. (The look and the back tire are incredible!) But, I've seen your review of the FB, and now this Shootout. I think, as a new Rider, I need more lean angle. Of course, I really should ride one first. Thanks for the great review!
I had a 2017 CVO Breakout and now I’m waiting to take delivery of my new 2019 Breakout. What would you recommend as far as pipes and tuner for my new breakout, I had Vance and Hines on my 2017.
Why don’t you have your 2017 CVO Breakout anymore? You don’t like it?
Great video, Matt. All three look awesome, but I would choose the 110. Seems to be full of character. Although, I also love the new 114 engine as I enjoy it on my new Fatboy.
Awesome job Matt. Love your videos.
I love that CVO! The one guy said it rides and ergonomics are much nicer than the 14, he mentioned the inverted forks but very little was said about the feel of the 19" wheel on it compared to the 21" what are your thoughts on the 19"? At first I liked the looks of 21" better but the 19" seems to have better lines with the bike too. I'd live to see a pro street CVO in the newer range breakouts in the future.
I had the 2014 breakout 103 FXSB and it was a good first Harley for me. I had it all customized then totaled it in a wreck along with myself. Thankfully I had all my gear on and only ended up with a steel plate and 10 screws in my right Tibia. I then after 5 months of recovery bought the 2017 Breakout CVO Pro-Street FXSE. 110 screaming eagle. The color is gorgeous. looks like a red/black fade but Harley calls it SCORCHED APPLE LOL. this bike is wicked fast and has Torque from Hell. I get compliments anytime I ride it.I do baby it and its Garage kept. The inverted forks and 19" front wheel do make a big difference. I love the way this bike rides on both 2 lane back roads and the interstate. mine did come with a small windshield but I didn't like the look and removed it and put the stock headlight fairing on. I don't do long rides so a touring bike would not be a good buy for me. But I have Paris Mountain right up the road from my house. 20-mile round trip with lots of twists and turns. Great 2 lane back road to take it home and a great view. I love the Raked look of the Breakouts. And that 240mm back tire just has attitude suited for this bike.
Seems like y’all are a cool dealership. I’m a bit far away-Austin. TX. I enjoy the videos.
Yall need to do one with Fat Boys. Harley's most iconic bike needs a shoot out. :D
Okay, a lot of people have requested this. We need to make it happen
Thank you! Thanks for watching
A Breakout shoot out, Awesome! Once again a great honest review and really like the concept of the same model comparison. You are right about the 2014, I had a 2013 and there is no comparison to the CVO Pro Street 0r the new 18. The only objection I have is after a few hard miles you will be carving corners as fast as most other bikes on the CVO! Wish I could bring my 2016 CVO Pro Street 117 there so you could take it out for a canyon ride it may change your mind! LOL Keep up the good work, keep rubber side down and maybe Harley will make a New Pro Street for 2019! I WISH!!
Yea, I do feel like once you get some seat time and are use to how it handles then it will be better in the turns.
I was wondering if one can retrofit a larger gas tank on the 2018-2019 breakout?
Hi Matt & Crew, thank you for the great juxtaposition of the three model years of the BO. After the Sport Glide dropped out of my favorite circle, I was torn between TC or M8 breakout. Made my decision, 2018 MJ. Very good and informative camera guide. Compliment for the very successful video. Best regards from Bavaria. Alex. (keep on growing your beard :-).
Good review. Those two are a trip. Look forward to seeing them in another video.
Luv my breakout 🇺🇸💪
The best video yet Matt. Good job !!!
Thank you
A good mix to see and hear back to back ,great stuff.
Thanks for watching
Hey Matt would love to see you David and Andrew do a shootout on the VROD against the new Breakout and the FXDR the 3 different views really helps I think I love this shootout i've watched it heaps of times anyway mate have a good one
Are you ever going to have the chance to review the 120ST twin can motor? That thing looks like a beast.
I have a 2014 Breakout in Vivid Black I purchased Brand New in 2014 and had the dealer swap the "blahhh 103" out for the Harley 120R crate motor!!! I love my bike.. So nice, soooo fast with the 120R...... the new 2018's are sad looking compared to the previous Softail Model breakouts.... I think Harley is going in the wrong direction... they destroyed the look of the tank by the way!!!
Another excellent video guys. I really appreciate David's honest impressions of the bikes he rides. Matt, which '18 softail do you feel is the best for canyon carving? Thanks again for doing the best ride & reviews on the internet.
The 2018 Hands down
But which one? I would say the street bob.
I was thinking maybe, the sport glide ??
Fat Bob is the best one for performance riding. Upside down fork, most lean angle, twin disks up front, most suspension travel in the rear.
Neptune …. Love my '12 Fat Bob, but can't get with the '18 model. Don't like the scuba mask headlight nor the scrambler looking pipes. The new Sport Glide has reverse forks, twin discs up front and pretty decent lean angles. Not sure how the rear suspension travel compares. Rode the Sport Glide at a dealer, down in the valley, but didn't get to take it up where I live in the twisties. It was a very sweet ride. So much gentler on my aging, broken body than the Dyna. Thanks for your input.
I’ve got a 2013 CVO Breakout. It’s absolutely beautiful but it’s best on smooth asphalt at 45-65 mph and if I wanna get outta town, I trailer it or ride my BMW R1200RT!
I’m a little late commenting on this video, but I wanted to add something nobody has really brought up either in the video or the comments, and that is purchase price. If you’re looking at these three bikes today, keep in mind that, on average, you’re looking at paying $5K more for the CVO and probably closer to $6K for the 2018 over the average price of a low-mile 2014. That’s a lot of extra “mod money” towards a 2014 to make it your own, and I feel that adds to the value of the older bikes. All the negative stuff mentioned about the 14 can be sorted with some cash, and you’d probably still have quite a bit left over.
Matt, great team and test ride comments, I'd love you to do the same with Fat Boys...
Great video Matt, With honest opinions on the pros and cons of each bike is very refreshing. Would be good to see one on the fat boys. Ride safe, Cheers
Yea, I'd like to do that. I'll make an effort to do a video along those lines.
I owned a 2015 Breakout. I would not compare it to the 2018 at all. They ruined the 2018 when they shortened the rake, and put on a smaller gas tank. It is too bad they did not put the same tank that they put on the Sport Glide. From a purist stand point for that model, I will agree with Andrew and David on this one!
I was going to trade my 2015 for a 2018 Breakout but preferred the 2018 FatBob 114 as a package/bike instead. Same small tank but a WAY more versatile bike. Just have to put up with some dis-approval from other Harley riders....LOL
phineashenshaw I agree with you , if it had the 5 gallon tank I would have bought it , I chose the 2016 with the beautiful tank that hold more fuel . I was close at getting the fat boy but I seen my girl up stairs and I was like wow
The CVO is gorgeous!
Great job Nice video beautiful bikes. Is it possible to put a bigger tank on the 2018 model like the one on the lowrider? That would be perfect!
Love the look of the breakout, the lines are perfect. I've never rode one but my soft tail had big wheel kit on the back and the little skinner on the front, i was living just north of Vancouver BC 40 miles and it didn't handle great but i never dropped it so couldn't have been that bad. It's not that i wouldn't own another bike with that set up, just not only bike, for a 2nd bike yeah all the way, single seat ripper no wife for the day.👍
i just got new M.8 break out ,and it kicks both them bikes farkin butts. Simple N.Z Hard..
I traded my pearl white 17 CVO BREAKOUT for a 18 Fatboy 114. I wish I could afford both of them. My Breakout was one hell of a good looking ride.
If I ever win the lotto, that bike will be back in my stable.
The bike is hard to handle in the corners but the overall ride is preeeemo
Aprojeep does the fatboy still fight the wind with the solid rims like all the other models have had it on 03 solid rims and my dads 10 fatboy with solid and slots still bad in wind wanting to know if 18 still does it
What do you mean by "wind"?
Aprojeep when it’s windy the fatboy solid rims always were hard to steer and ride is the new model still the same
Can't really say but I will tell you with the fatter tires it is harder to corner.
This... was an awesome video. Can you do this again with the Fat Boys or the Softail Heritage? I'd love to see it!!!
Joe Dangelo yea. I’ll see what I can do.
Beautiful badass bikes! A great Vlog!
Thank you !
awesome video.. imo harley went with the smaller tank to help push customers towards the sportglide.
Hmm, interesting. I don't know if I see the correlation in that
What's the point? A cheaper bike.
I’d love A Harley & this would be the one I’d want
How is the lean angle on the new Fat Boy, thinking about one, just not sure.
Yo I want to see the “Iron 1200” against the street bob. I feel like the Iron 1200 might be a near future purchase. Thanks for all your hard work!
Troy Gard good suggestion. We might have to make that happen.
I went from being subscribed to unsubscribed . Awesome video, I love the breakouts. We all have our own taste in these bikes, I've only rode the 2016 but as far as looks go , the cvo takes it but with the gasser rims off the 2014 . Now for the 2018 , the little tank doesn't do it for me in looks or that long ride , I can do some riding and I've rode at night at a long distance . I don't like thinking of gas stations too much so it has to be that 2014 in black . All 3 are awesome builds. I'm subscribed
are all 2017 breakouts equipted with reversed front forks ?
Hey Matt curious on what your thoughts were being a taller Rider on the breakout. I'm 6'1 with long legs and wanted your thoughts on the 2017 cvo breakout and what may make the ride better for a taller person. Or are they good how they are? Thanks!
Nice bikes. Beard is looking good as well! 😎
Great review. Beautiful bikes if a bit useless (unless you intend going in straight lines only!) Thanks.
Hai sir..I'm from india.chekout ur reviews most oftenly...breakout is my favorite model.. i checked out some internet sources and realise that the breakout is stopped in India...is the new 2018 model available in India?
sick review bro so helpful Thanx!!
I love my 2018 Breakout and it handles perfect
I wish you were in my local H.D dealership if you can pass it along the salesmen there suck walked around (was looking to buy ) but
Would not give me the time of the day I was very dissatisfied with the way they treat customer
Sorry man. Where do you live?
Canton Ohio
Good video Matt, I sell Harley Davidsons at Latus Harley Davidson in Oregon and your opinions and mine always seem to line up the same.
I hear Harley Davidson is discontinuing the breakout and others? Is that true?
Another great video. Sitting here watching the rain in the UK, not jealous at all! Don't know if its the camera, but lane splitting makes me nervous, looks way to fast, I keep reaching for an imaginary brake.
Haha, yea its pretty sketchy to be honest
Awesome video man!
I love my 2018 114 Breakout....added Big Radius pipes and the torque cam. This bike now sounds mean and reacts even meaner. I'm tired of the talk about handling. I traded my 14 Ultra and would take that bike on some twisty roads...the lean angle is the biggest problem. I understand every time that fat rear tire wants to stand up and you may be fighting the bike, but I love the way it handles.
Harley needs to bring back the Harley sound. Milwaukee Eights dont sound that good, even with an aftermarket exhaust. Dislike the small tank on the Breakout. Otherwise everything else seems great about the Milwaukee Eight bikes. Oh, id take the CVO look with a HO 103.👍😎👍
Great video!
I have been waiting for something like this for some time now regarding the Breakouts! These comparison videos are excellent, informative and fun! Whatever said about the handling, the -18 is a more efficient bike but that CVO sure is a beauty. Same could be said about the beard you are sporting now a days! BTW is that a genuine 2018 CVO beard!? ;)
Keep em coming sir!!!!
I got so much flack from my ODB days about my fake beard that I need to show people that I can grow one if I really wanted to. Haha. Thanks for the comment as always
Nice vlog good subject too i agree with you i like the 18 the best the CVO is nice too but the 18 just offers that little bit more i get people liking the feel of the vibrations on the older models but hey more smoove ride is better for your body and bike long term i get people become a fan of something too its hard to except change at first but i think over time people will get use to it and then they will become a fan of it too
patman wainwright agreed. Thanks for watching man.
Great review.
Great review!
Hey Matt great vid as always, quick question for you. What aftermarket cams would you recommend for the new 2018 BO? Do you have an opinion on that?
I don't really know of any good aftermarket ones. Right now since they are so new I recommend the Screamin' Eagle Stuff. If you're looking to just do a cam and tune do a stage 2 torque or power cam depending on what type of riding you do
I have been lucky enough to ride all 3 of them and the cvo just barely wins out over the 2018... The 2014 isn't a bad bike but it's out done here.
Thanks for the comment from someone who has ridden them all.
Is H-D making a 2021Breakout?
I love my 16 Breakout! Hard Candy Black Gold Flake! Heavy Breather Intake, Bassani Pro Street headers, Vance & Hines FP3 custom tune...it fukn runs hard! I'll stop by some time and show ya! ;)
Sorry but that bass boat paint does not look good on a bike.🤡
I like more the speedometer in the old breakout model
The cvo is sick but heaps $$
The '14 is too flamboyant. The CVO is well done with unique finishes and kinda cool mixing the sport bike/cruiser thing, but that works better on models that weren't made to have the rake and chopper wheel. I'm also not a big fan of bikes that run hot. '18 is beautiful, rides nice, makes good power. It wins for me hands down. And who isn't going to want to stop to stretch out every 100 miles or so. Smaller tank issue is way overblown. None of them are going to win any ironbutt contests.
I'm not a fan of the headlight on the '18 or that bundle of wires from the speedo to the head. Love to see them put the headlight off the Sport Glide in a small cowl like the CVO to hide the exposed wiring.
Don't be fooled by the configuration of the forks. There are plenty of lousy inverted forks out there. It's the internals that make them. Pretty sure the CVO uses a decent cartridge. The '18 uses Showa's new tech that emulates a cartridge. The '14 uses a cheap damper rod. The two newer techs have more consistent damping over a bigger range of bump magnitudes and frequencies than the old damper rods.
The reasons sportbikes went inverted is because they have less unsprung mass. Not such a big deal turning a cruiser at public road speeds. They also bolt the head to the thicker part of the fork tubes which means less flex in hard braking and cornering. Again, not a big issue running quasi-legal speeds on public roads. And the Breakout fork tubes aren't thin like a Sportsters.
HD needs to thin that rear down to about a 200. That would prevent it from fighting. Yami Raider uses that same front tire and a 200 rear and it has very neutral handling. It also decks the footpegs too easily, but you don't have to wrestle it to make it happen.
As to being refined, I'll take it. If your customers want unrefined, have them send their bike to me. For a small fee, I'll loosen all the motor mounts, the belt, and pull a spark plug wire.
Good stuff. More shootouts. That's fun!
BTW, saw the new Sumatra brown RG yesterday. Stunning.
Wow, thank you for the knowledgeable comment. Always nice when people teach ME stuff
please elaborate on "inverted front end"
The forks are essentially upside down. This is a higher performing setup.
yes! Thank you - I just asked another fella out at Jasper HD Company up in North Plains OR when I was visiting the other afternoon - so, the hydraulics are on top huh? so there's hardly any noticable dipping, correct? The dampening is enhanced, thereby it's a tiche more responsive?
Thanks Matt.
Thank you for watching!
The CVO front end design is what every Harley should have. They carry too much weight not to have dual discs up front and inverted forks for handling. The tank is debatable, I always like more range. Combine the 18 engine with the CVO front end, tank and finish.
love the Cho breakout the best
Hey Mat, beard looking better
Thank you sir
Don't get cocky. Scott's still better looking.
Poor Andrew. He really has difficulty articulating his "thoughts." Perhaps not the best person to ask what he "thinks."
why do you break the law lane violations
You Harley guys are such hooligans lol
MORE SHOCK TRAVEL!!! LESS TIRE WIDTH!!!
I'll take the EVO, thank you very much! Lol
I meant the CVO! Lol
You know, this video actually talked me out of wanting a break out, wtf?
RIP Breakout.
Bad ass
Breakout looks good but Fat Bob handles better.
