  • Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man review, together, the new 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 Cruiser Motorbike.
    Sponsored by BIKESURE Motorcycle Insurance Specialists - Please click this link so Bikesure know you've come from us. www.bikesure.c...
    Based on the ever popular Softail Chassis, this new Breakout has the performance tuned and hugely torquey Milwaukee 8 117 ci engine. We find out just what it's like!
    How does the Breakout handle with that massive rear tyre? Does it corner? Is it a handful?
    Single disc brakes - are they any good.
    How is it on a long ride?
    We look at the styling, design, emotiveness, comfort, ergonomics and much more! All beautifully filmed as usual, in the most stunning locations.

    Got one from 1st of April, it's not Bad Ass it is phenomenal !!! Breaks and front suspension to upgrade but it corners very well and goes like bullet!!! Owned 103 and had have an experience on 114 but this is something ELSE!!! Have done over 2000 miles within 3 weeks with my Lady and we absolutely LOVE IT!!!

    Mid August I walked into a Harley dealer simply because I was bored. They had this exact same bike and I took it for a spin. Returned to the dealer and bought it on the spot. Already bumped it up to Stage II. She’s a beast. Very planted and hot off the line.

    @Jer_O ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I traded up my 114 Breakout for the 2023 vivid black Breakout and I have to say Harley got it perfect with the taller risers, bigger fuel tank and 117 engine. Absolutely love it! Great review as always guys!! Ride safe my friends and looking forward to next video ✌️

    “The Leica” of motorcycles…….if the sales guy at the Harley dealer had used that expression I would’ve plonked down my deposit on the spot! Thanks for the review, great solid info and very nice footage.

      ​@@MrDarcy-OlMan & BinBin .... I have the LEICA M10-P *White* Limited Edition + 50mm f/1.4 Summilux Lens, since January 2020,
      but yet to own a Harley, and I love the Breakout-117 ... wish it was available in my country, India. Though, the Fat Boy 114 is in our local HD showroom.
      I bought 4 new bikes in 30 months :
      KTM 390 Duke (2020)
      Triumph Trident 660 (2021)
      Suzuki Hayabusa Gen 3 (2022)
      Ducati XDiavel 1262cc V2 (cruiser, 2023)
      my next bike could be an Adv. (Africa Twin) or the BMW R-nine-T
      i agree, Breakout is the Leica of Motorcycles, a Mechanical Masterpiece, you stole my heart with that statement. Thanks.

    I just want to add to your review, when you stop at a traffic light next to a “electric fan boy” the look of disgust on them face as your 117Ci engine rumbles just add to the pleasure of riding it ❤
    I went for the Baja Orange! Love it

    That engine sound and pipe music is intoxicating.I had a old VFR800 gear driven engine no cam chain and that sounded amazing.HD reminds me of that bike.I am 59 and to me at this point in life riding is not about going point A to B.You can do that even on a moped but its about the experience of being Alive! and that is worth buying!

  • @atlaslee8681
    @atlaslee8681 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This would be a great pick-up if you could find it secondhand.
    These are expensive from the dealer, but In a few years it will drop in price and still ride like a dream

    A mate of mine has a Breakout ( I have a Honda F6C), I’d never come across them until I saw his. It’s a cracking bike, he has a few extras on it and some fabulous sounding pipes. If. Had the money and the room in my garage I’d love to have one 👍

    Just bought one and I’m never getting rid of it. People told me it would be uncomfortable to ride for long trips. They were so wrong. I got gloss black. Not du to price, but I liked it best.

    I like the way you dovetail the narration of the commentary between the two of you. Nice riding around there when the weather allows, I think yule miss the scenery but EU will provide good scenery too I'm sure.

  • @saddle8bag
    @saddle8bag ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a brilliant idea, putting the bike's name on the tank so I can remember what's it's called in a pinch!
    From your crank tq figure, the bike makes 82 hp @ 3500 rpm. The old two valve HDs would have been suffocating in another 500 rpm. That this one runs up to 100+hp at over 5k rpm is the genius of putting a 4 valve head on the M8s. They should publicly thank Victory for giving them that encouragement. Far superior power plants these days.
    My 107 RK does 40+ mpg US. Your UK gallon is 20% bigger, so that would be ~48 mpg UK. The fact that this bike is considerably lighter and more aerodynamic than my tourer with a barn door windscreen, makes 50 mpg UK seem on point. That's a ~41 mpg US. Rejoice, if your Streetbob gets 42 mpg US, you still win!
    With all that chrome, I'd go with the black one for the most striking contrast. Personally, I find black paint on HD engines to be heresy. That beautiful, uncluttered jewel of an engine should be prominent IMHO. OTOH, putting so much chrome behind it in that faux oil tank covers and fender brackets is a little overkill to my eye. I liked the way the last gen Breakout blacked those pieces to keep the eye drawn to that engine. I'd also toss that air cleaner for an oval one. I'd get tired of knocking knees with that thing pretty quick.
    I think the bike is way too cool for me though. My HD get ridden like a tank through the rain, salt, and road crap. Fenders already rusting. Doesn't matter, I'm not likely to get rid of it until I'm too weak to move it. Too comfy and practical. I think this one looks tits, but I'd have to treat it like a Fabergé egg. And given that I ride around in textile gear, I just wouldn't lend it the cool factor it deserves. The old man in the old skool biker jacket looks fabulous on it however.

    Just ordered mine in Vivid black with stage 1 tune (V&H Slash cut Slip Ons with tuner), loud enough with slip ons and torque is so usable how it can get delivered. Love this bike.

    I finished riding classes (on 250cc Suzuki GW's) the weekend before, and got my full license 2 days before taking one of these for a test drive at my local HD's charity "Demo Day"
    I nearly lost the bike on the first shift to second gear...

    It’s not for me but if others like then brilliant. Wouldn’t it be boring if we all liked the same things? Good review though. It’s obvious you two are ‘cruiser men’ (if that’s not an insult).

      @user-tm9ho3bm4v ปีที่แล้ว

      The speedmaster is a better ride and looks better at half the price. I never appreciated how good it looks until I saw one in person and it was love at first sight

  • @Novaradius
    @Novaradius ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You owe me too, but in EUR, vivid black with TC. I was hesitating with the new 121 with VVT, but I quickly understood I wanted as little electronics as possible for very little more. Classic is Classic.

  • @YABBAHEY1
    @YABBAHEY1 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I wasn't designed properly at the factory those so many years ago for this type riding position. The further back my feet are, the longer I can ride. My rule of thumb is : "The upright nerdier you look, the more comfortable you'll be in the long run" I have a FXDP & the position isn't too dissimilar to the Breakout. Had a Ninja 1000 R & suffered from carpel tunnel syn. in both hands (It goes away on it's own if one stops doing 3hr handlebar push ups) Also had a Suzuki GT500T which put you in a riding position like a plastic toy cyclist ; Knees a little lower than hips, arms slightly bent, back straight. For me the best.
    If I were sensible my next ride would be a adventure bike or Triumph style but one never learns. The R18 is just too beautiful.

  • @zenmoto369
    @zenmoto369 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Give it a bobber seat, and black satin paint job with some red highlights and a chopped rear fender and boom! Best looking bike as well!

    • @gerardmontgomery280
      @gerardmontgomery280 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It definitely needs a single seat but I think I'd still want to keep it moulded into the bodywork.

    Great review, guys! I understand your point about just road, man and machine. I have that with one of machines. That being said, I like the new technology, performance and safety features of the modern bikes. We're living in 2023, not 1973, and I appreciate the technology advances that have been made and like those incorporated into my machines.
    To each his own.

  • @drsparwaga
    @drsparwaga ปีที่แล้ว +2

    They did a good job on this bike, especially that they chromed it all out. I also prefer analog dials. In theory, you could take a Fat Boy tank with the analog dial, and get a paintjob done on it. I would mod it out properly if I had it, with chopped fender etc.

    Hi 👋, I forgot to mention I was on a 500cc motorbike when I was 10 years old, Most of the guys in the village had motorcross bikes, how old vintage motorbikes that they have acquired from my fathers, And I passed my test just after I was 17 years old, I’ve passed my test on a Suzuki 250, and in less than four months, I changed it to a Norton commando, 750. I’ve had 3 Nortons, one very old dominator which was chopped, and two Bonnevilles, then in the early 90s, I started off with a 1200 sportster HD , FXR 1340 , SOFTAIL DEUCE 1999 1450- 1550 .
    Ride Safe, PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE.

  • @1234567marks
    @1234567marks ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think that is a very good looking motorcycle, it’s silly money of course, I bought a Scrambler 800 in 2015, whilst I was with the salesman I caught a glimpse of his screen, it said “unit price £4250”, I paid £7036 OTR, I’m not sure but I think the 4250 was what the bike cost the dealer from Ducati, now obviously that Harley would cost more to make than a scrambler 800,but how much more?, double, let’s be generous and say it cost 18k for Harley to build (I very much doubt it did!), they are taking the piss at £24000 aren’t they?

    • @ilikelampshades6
      @ilikelampshades6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Couldn't agree more. Next to zero for R&D costs as the tech is the same tech that's been around for 20 years. It should cost no more than £10,000 and that would be difficult to justify over buying a bonneville

  • @CaptHollister
    @CaptHollister ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I suspect that in a world where everybody with a phone believes they are a photographer, many will not get your Leica reference. As a photographer I'm a Canon man myself with an old 5D MKII which I've owned for going on 12-13 years, but which you can still buy new for, as you said, a third the price of a new Leica M 262. Objectively, the old Canon does everything the new Leica does and perhaps a bit more (higher ISO and full-frame sensor), but for pure tactile delight nothing beats a Leica, just like no cruiser beats a Harley-Davidson in feelings and sensations. And this is coming from a Moto-Guzzi owner.

  • @rotax636nut5

    With that rake and fat rear you would expect it to be very stable. There is always a trade off when it comes to handling. For me this is not a good “handling” bike on any measure but it is a good cruiser. I get the subjective point but I’d say handljng is always about agility and nimbleness, turn in etc. This is a bike for the long straight roads and that rake and trail perfect for. Comfort then more a product of suspension travel and preload. I enjoy my British b roads a bit too much for this but it’s a cracking machine in its own right if a little too ‘Murica for me. I agree re the attraction of the analogue .. and another top notch if slightly partisan review *but I can’t blame you for that. 😊 All the best for the house move old boy. 👋

  • @jbeee333
    @jbeee333 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think they have made it more like the CVO Pro Street Breakout from 2016, which is no bad thing in my opinion (as I own one lol). The Breakout is great, people seem to be a bit intimidated by them with the chopper type rake, but other than the ground clearance(on mine, scraped heels on the boots) they are really easy to ride, steering feels heavy to start with at low speed but you get used to it (the front wheel on the Pro Street is smaller I think, which may contribute to that also). I think the analogue dial on the Pro Street is better than the digital one on the bars on the new one (my opinion, and something mentioned in this review). Glad they sorted the tank capacity and the cruise control (both on the Pro Street). I saw a new one in the showroom and thought it looked fantastic. Great review of a great bike. (Swapping the R18????, Breakout be great in Spain!). The exhaust on my PRO Street is standard and sounds amazing, get an advisory on MOT every time even though it is standard. Still wakes the neighbors lol (they love it too!).

    Beautiful bike, but I love my Softail Custom too much to change it for a Breakout. Don't know why people expect sports bike handling or performance from a cruiser! It's all about the ride. I dissed Harleys until I bought one, no going back to bland Japanese bikes for me!

I would let you have a go on my LRS 117 as it's got forward control's twin break disks & has a V&S high output exhaust and a remap ... lol almost the same as the break apart from steeper fork rake ... everyone say's it handles better in the bends, My mate has just got the breakout picks it up end of the month from Leeds HD ...

    The same mirrors are available with longer stems, giving about an additional inch outward . . . which makes a significant difference. Worked for me. The Breakout is definitely my favourite current HD model. Just waiting to win the lottery !
    P.S. Agree about the Leica - I have the original M6 and will never give it up.

    That is a beautiful bike. I think at 5'4" I'd only be able to ride it in a straight line, I'd never get it round the corners. If someone picked me up on that, fairly easy to do, I'd need a sissy bar or I'd come off the back. Lovely looking bike though.

    I rode this bike during a Harley demo a few weeks ago. I rode this last, and I was surprised how much I liked it and that the riding position was enjoyable being 6'2". I just didnt like the amount of vibration in the handlebars and I would need a windshield option for my freeway riding. It is such a pretty looking motorcycle. I'm a BMW riding too :)

  • @grahamhiggins1
    @grahamhiggins1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It looks stunning, like a Rolls Royce. My only fear is that, having seen most models of 2 or 3 year old Harley’s for sale at a coastal dealer in Wales, the chrome is not particularly resilient. Covered in white spots and patches of corrosion over the forks, wheels and handlebar. I think you’d have to keep it to a May to October bike for that reason which suits many of us. I like your comparison with Leica. I have two old M3 film cameras and they’re worth £2k each. I also use a Canon EOS with five lenses, but nothing beats that old analogue Leica for someone who knows how to use it. Takes a tonne of practise.

  • @florislok
    @florislok ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think it’s difficult to say that a brand new bike is the best. Is it still the best after years of riding through rain and dirt? Parked on the street all year long with only a cover on it? Surely I like to have a Harley like that, but since I don’t have a garage, I think I have to stick to my trusty dirty BMW R100R which I ride since 1995. It maybe looks rusty but for daily commuting and holiday trips to France and Spain it’s the best for me.

    Looks lovely. Shame it's £14,000 too expensive in the UK. How can they charge so much money for such a basic bike? No double disc, no infotainment, no modern tech. What R&D actually went into this bike? It's way more expensive that a Triumph Rocket 3 for goodness sake haha

      ​@Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man True, but it justifies the pricing. Nobody can argue that a BMW 1250gs is an amazing, technologically advanced bike and can justify its high price point. How does HD justify charging so much for such a basic motorbike? I get premium finishing kit and attention to detail costs more, but Triumph make Bonnevilles at £12,000 and even they have much higher tech

    You guys have some of the best Harley video reviews on TH-cam. So, thank you 😊. I was originally looking at a BMW GS1250 but now decided on Harley. My problem now is deciding between the Breakout and the Low-rider ST. Not sure how many rides will be over the 3-4 hour mark at one time but after riding both, the Lowrider has better suspension and better wind protection but the Breakout looks so amazing. Really torn between them, heart says Breakout head says ST. Just don’t want to get it home and regret my choice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Merry Christmas, ride safe gents.

As for the US versus UK gallon, as a Canadian who pumped gas in the 80’s I can verify that the imperial gallon is 20% bigger than the US which is 4.645 litres.
