I love being exactly 6 foot tall and 185 lbs because it seems like every bike is made exactly for me. I can ride mids or forwards both comfortably and I can ride a Iron 883 or a Breakout 117 both comfortably. I'm really greatful to be the exact build most manufacturers build there rider triangles for. Only thing I still kick myself over is not getting into riding at a much earlier age. I've always wanted to ride but couldn't quite afford to buy anything until my 30s when I had more financial stability. Now I just turned 40 and still feel youthful and healthy but definitely not like my 20s. I definitely feel the decline kicking into 2nd gear. 😂 I never knew my pelvis or hips could be sore before. 😂 Oh well, I ride now and my next bike purchase will be this next off season during winter deals and it will be a new Breakout 117 in either vivid black, white or billiard grey. Undecided on color yet cuz they all look great! I'm actually surprised at how well the billiard grey looks on the Breakout! I didn't think I liked that color until I saw it in person. Nice mid ground between white and black and goes so well with the black and chrome on Breakout! I think the new Breakout is Harleys most beautifully done bike and has a ton of nice features and I gotta say, as someone who never was a big chrome fan, the chrome on the Breakout has to be one of the best iterations of chrome ive seen on any bike. It looks youthful and not tacky and old timer feeling like previous Harleys with chrome. It's done very well straight from factory and I'm a huge fan of the chrome on this bike now and it's one of the main selling points for me besides the 117 engine, 240 rear tire and 21 inch front raked out just enough. Those wheels really sell it too and the engine of course especially with the polished ends on the fins that look chrome almost (maybe it is chrome, not polish). Just a masterpiece straight from the factory! I will get the 10 inch fused lo bars first thing and some detachable bags and windshield when I take it for a Road trip to Daytona once a year but besides that and some minor changes maybe to smoked lenses and leds, I will keep it mostly stock. Might do some SE slip ons just to get a slight bump in sound and stage 1 tune but this time I don't really want super loud and super modded like my previous bikes. I want super clean and smooth this time around and mostly stock. I love the air breather too especially in chrome. I just really love this bike!
I agree. It’s a beautiful bike. Obviously I’m biased to the LRS since that’s what my channel is mainly about, but as I said in this video, I’d straight up have a Breakout as another bike if I had to choose. It was awesome to ride. Looked great, felt great. Classic but not grandpa-ish lol. Hopefully you’ll get one!!!
Very curious to find out if you thought the “snorkel” air cleaner got in the way, with factory HD forward controls. I got rid of mine when I first got my used LRS because it was damaged, but wondering if it could work, if I ever went back. TIA👍
Since 2023 models....Ive been checking out the Breakouts with the 5 gal tank and the 117 engine...Being 6ft 255lbs i need foward controls...I love the Chopper style look and riding style...I miss my 2010 Wide glide but i got rid of it because i ride the interstate with that Skinny 21 in front wheel it gets caught in the rain grooves on the road...But with the Breakouts 130 21in front tire it wouldnt have that problem...I am think all need to do would put the Windvest brand handlebar mounted shield and some chrome saddlebag supports with some large leather throwover saddlebags and i can hit the open road...
@@RoboRider22 Iam a hardcore rider...Stock seats always work for me...Ive only replaced seats when ive rocked a passenger....The one i always go with is the aftermarket HD tallboy 2 up seat....But only buy 1 if a take my girl
Beautiful bike. Hopefully one day. Only thing is by the time you get it OTD it's high 20s. I may be wrong but I thought I saw halogen lights. If that is right, I mean, come on, all that money and halogen lights!
Hi, thanks for your cool video! I think it's very good that you test bikes with tall riders in mind. I myself am 6'3 tall and am looking for bikes that fit me from the factory if possible. Like you, I have quite long legs. So on most bikes I look like I'm riding a kids bike :D
There was a guy about your height that also demo’d it. He loved the forwards on it. I’d suggest going to the dealer and just sitting on one. Maybe even test drive if they’ll allow.
@@RoboRider22 I just bought a new 2024 Blue Burst Breakout on Thursday and it does come with CC and traction control now. I’m trading in my 2019 BO. I like the 5-gal tank and the chromed look. FJB 🖕🇨🇳
@@RoboRider22 What is an LRS? HD also bumped the BO displacement from 114CI to 117CI; not that it matters much. When I feel the need for speed I ride my 2022 Hayabusa. FJB 🖕🇨🇳
This is the coolest bike Harley has ever built.
I’m impartial to the LRS. But I sure did love the breakout!
@@RoboRider22 the breakout looks phenomenal

Nope! I have forwards on my LRS so it didn’t bother me at all

Yeah I’m 6’5 and 245 but this thing was NICE! Very comfy. But def needs a new seat lol. Def go find one to test ride and I think you’ll fall in love.

Yessir!! Thanks for tuning in!
Traveling Tall he is 6'6" or 6'7"
Yeah I recently learned about him! Glad there’s someone taller than me lol
when you ride a break out you have to dial the suspension to your weight, or of course its going to suck, hate that it doesn't have dual fron breaks.
I'm 5'7 to 5'8 depending on the shoes not to sure about the inseam but how would you feel this bike would fit me comfort wise just rough idea

TRAVELING TALL
Matt Laidlaw of Laidlaw Harley Davidson is 6’6” ….
Is he? I didn’t know that. I’ve seen a few of his videos. I guess I never paid attention lol
I like mine
Did you get the blue one??
@@RoboRider22 I got the Vivid Black 23
@@JoeSmith-nu8oo nice bro… Do you love it?
@@RoboRider22 Oh yeah. I had a 15 Street Glide Special before and I do miss that bike a bit, definitely could go with a new Street Glide again.
Had to look it up 0.1% of the adult male population is 6’5” or taller
Dang, if only I could have that stat in OnlyFans :-P
To much chrome i bet they did this because most people that ride these will pay 💰to black it out
Does the BO come with cruise control? FJB 🖕🇨🇳
I didn’t see any CC on it. But I’m sure it’s an option that can be added
