Overview

Introducing the 2015 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout, a stunning custom-cruiser that effortlessly embodies the spirit of freedom and rebellion synonymous with the Harley brand. With a striking design that commands attention on the road, the Breakout is engineered for those who crave a powerful ride combined with a unique aesthetic. Priced at approximately US$18,599, this model appeals to a diverse range of riders—from seasoned veterans to newcomers looking to make a statement. The Breakout stands out in Harley’s lineup, offering a blend of classic style and modern performance that speaks to the heart of motorcycle enthusiasts. At the core of the Softail Breakout is its robust 1690cc V2 engine, delivering a mighty 75.1 horsepower at 5,000 RPM and a torque-rich 130 Nm at just 3,000 RPM. This powerhouse allows the rider to experience effortless acceleration and a thrilling ride, whether cruising down the highway or navigating through city streets. The engine's four-stroke configuration, coupled with electronic sequential port fuel injection, ensures a smooth power delivery and optimal fuel efficiency, boasting a commendable 42 MPG. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a belt final drive, enhances the riding experience, providing seamless shifts that keep the power flowing smoothly, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine running cool under pressure. The Breakout isn’t just about raw power; it’s also equipped with features that elevate both comfort and safety. Its low-slung stance, with a seat height of just 660 mm, makes it accessible for a wider range of riders, while the 35-degree rake and 145 mm trail contribute to agile handling. The braking system, featuring a single disc with ABS at the front and a 2-piston setup at the rear, ensures confident stopping power in various conditions. The motorcycle also offers a generous 18.93-litre fuel tank, allowing riders to embark on longer journeys without the need for frequent refueling. With an array of eye-catching color options—including Mysterious Red Candy and Vivid Black—customization is part of the Breakout's allure. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 1690cc engine delivers impressive torque and horsepower, making for exhilarating rides.
  • Stunning Design: The Breakout's sleek lines and custom styling make it a head-turner on the road.
  • Comfortable Ride: Low seat height and relaxed riding position enhance comfort, especially during longer trips.

Cons

  • Weighty Feel: At 681.2 pounds, the Breakout may feel heavy for some riders, particularly in low-speed maneuvers.
  • Limited Storage: As a custom-cruiser, it lacks built-in storage options, which may require additional accessories for longer journeys.
  • Fuel Economy: While decent, the fuel consumption could be a concern for those seeking maximum efficiency over long distances.
