2019 Harley Davidson BREAKOUT | FULL RIDE REVIEW 

I've always appreciated Harleys but never had any desire to ride...until I sat on a Breakout(2017). A switch in my brain flipped and 16,000 miles later, I still smile like a little kid when I'm riding my Breakout. I LOVE this bike. Great video👍

I was bored and stopped by a Harley dealer. Test drove a breakout and immediately bought it upon return. I love it.

I have a 2014 Breakout and there’s no better feeling than hearing that sound and feeling that pull when twisting the throttle on the open country roads.

Never test ride a Harley unless you're ready to buy one because you will. 😂

Bought one Three years ago, ain't stopped smiling yet every time I get on it. 2013 CVO Breakout Black Diamond. I love riding. Very first bike I have ever owned.

Damn, i love how you enjoy it. I'm smiling the whole video :)

I know exactly how you felt in this video. Enjoyed the video! Going from a sport bike background to owning a 2018 breakout. Enjoyment every time.

Hey Dude! One of the best videos I’ve ever seen! Congrats!

I was a sportbike rider. I was riding a hayabusa for 3 years, i sell it and i buy 2008 H-D Fat Bob. It’s not about the speed, it’s about ride with style, relaxing! It was the best deal i make!!!

I just purchased a 2014 CVO Breakout with just 900 miles. It is being shipped now. Never even rode a Breakout so this vid was encouraging.

You’re not crazy. I have an ‘18 Breakout in twisted cherry and I love it.

i just bought my 2019 Breakout today. what a bike, i love the power the look can't compare to another HD

I have a ‘17 Breakout . I absolutely love it 🖤

I absolutely LOVE my breakout!

Just do it man! take the plunge. I did and am happy I did. Now mind you, I was originally looking at the new Softails, but they were a little too much for me. So I looked for a Harley in great shape, at a decent price and under a low mileage. I find most Harley guys take good care of their bikes, so it's easy to find them in excellent condition. I looked at the used Softails and found myself also checking out the now discontinued used Dyna's. Ended up buying a 2013 Dyna Super Glide Custom. The Breakout is one of the new Softails that I wanted to try out but never had a chance. This is one of my favorite videos you've done so far. Hopefully you get one in the future.

When I switched from riding a crocket rocket to a Harley, it felt like I was steering an armchair down the road. Much more comfortable for a long ride . :)

Great video, I was grinning with you. I purchased the 21 Breakout the end of last year, and I'm so glad I did. I ride it as much as I can. The way you describe the feeling of that 114ci monster is bang on! I have some footage on my channel on some rides in New Zealand.

Stop ittt, 58 years old, got my license 8 months ago. 15500 klms later on a Honda CRF 3000 rally, 4500 klm trip into outback Australia. Sat on a new Breakout last weekend. Cant ride one legally for 2.5 years. Looks like a perfect 60th birthday present.

I hear you!! Might as well have been me talking from when I first took a test ride!! I just transitioned from a Ducati sport bike to a Sport Glide.....haven’t looked back since.

my love of my life on road is my 2017 denim white Breakout., we are just made for each other ♥

“Filing for divorce “ how true!!

there is a RPM gauge you have to cycle through the miles trip a trip b R miles and rpm on the bottom line of the gauge and there is a usb port under the tank.

Exactly how I felt when I test rode a '06 Night Train with a 200 rear. It was the breakout before the breakout.

I loved your reaction man... this is exactly how i felt when i upgraded from royal enfield 350 to sportster48 1200cc the smile and laugh experience was something similar

lovin the "i really hate this harley because i really like it..." you sold me on a breakout. i'm going to upgrade to that from hd iron 883.

Glad you were able to finally take one out for a test drive! Acting like a kid in a toy store... haha

Exactly the same reaction I had when I took one for a test ride ... it's now MINE 😍

Yeah....that tongue in cheek thumbnail...you had me for a second cause I'm working on getting one...looks really badass!!

I just got mine this weekend! Best thing I ever purchased!!!!

I lived on Mascoma St in Lebanon for many years before moving out West. That Harley dealership has moved several times over the past ~50 years. I did a trip back East in 2018 and stopped in to pick up a T-shirt. I've been riding Harleys since 1962 so you don't need to tell me about the sound, torque and look of those bikes. I'm currently considering a Breakout although the MoCo is intentionally limiting production to create the impression that this model is in demand. The dealerships are asking ~$7k over MSRP so I'll be sitting it out until sanity returns. Currently have an old FXR Evolution that is a rocket and my FXSTC that is my daily driver. Also a Road King for log trips. Wish you rode down my old street but that run down to Caanan is a nice putt too.

There discontinuing the Breakout so if you want a new one you'll have to pull the trigger on it pretty quick and it's my favorite Harley too.

I test rode one a while back and I can definitely say that my reaction was pretty much the same. The bike is literally just dumb stupid fun.

Bought my 2019 last summer and this video made me grin ear to ear. I already put about 2,000 miles on it and I still get gitty just looking at it. Like he said, that bike is just pure rolling sex. I think I developed an actual intimate relationship with my bike, lol.

I have the same bike...love it. the are closing over 130 dealerships across canada....discontinued this bike so the price just went way way up.....supply and demand my friend.....you best pull the trigger ..

My wife suggested Harley Breakout from many others that we were looking at, "this bike is you". Coming from my first motorcycle 85 gpz turbo, 77 xs 750, (girlfriend/wife)92 gsxr 750, 03 monster 1000ds. I didn't do a test drive when I bought mine but I felt like you without even sitting on it. Sexy as hell, if my wife knew the feelings that were bubbling up inside she would be jealous. I love the Saddlemen LS solo seat that came with it, much better than stock. VH big radius pipes and the VH tuner too. I tried wearing my Vanson cobra padded jacket, it doesn't feel right and I Iove that jacket but it doesn't fit the part. Mrs. Byrne, Michael needs this motorcycle. He won't tell you how much it has stirred his soul and won't let him think of another. The Breakouts essence has become part of Michael, they must become one, it is ordained. My wife just laughed, maybe a little heavy :)

Two things : 1) where is your jacket from ? Brand ? And 2) Would you recommend the breakout as a first cruiser ?

this is the best looking bike ever, and once you get used to it, it really handles well a smaller back tire will make it just perfect and a analog speedometer

What a fun video. I clicked on it thinking it would be another "Harley's suck" video but I was surprised. 😂 Like you, I came from sport bikes to Harley's. My last sport bike was almost 18 years ago now I think. The last one was a Triumph. Before that it was Ducati. Before that it was Kawasaki (ZX-11, ZX-7). Like you, I thought Harley's were mechanical nightmares, horrible culture of snobbish riders, etc. All of which is patently false. The bikes are quite nicely made, very reliable, I don't have a drop of oil in my garage and the people are outstanding. I will say there are groups within groups in the Harley community of course, but this is true of all hobbies. You have the hardcore guys that think others are posers for this reason or that. If you ride with a helmet in my state about 30% of the Harley riders you pass won't wave to you. If you take the helmet off nearly all wave. For sport bike riding it's accepted to be in full leathers and helmets are part of the feel/culture of sport bikes. People paint their helmets to reflect their personalities. On Harley's the proper riding attire is a pair of jeans, boots, a ball cap on backwards and glasses. Modifications are almost mandatory in the Harley realm. A stock bike isn't fawned over as much as a custom bike at rides and events. But, as you noted, there's something about Harley's you don't get from other bikes. The engines are nothing short of amazing. I love the fact they marry old school tech with modern tech. The riding comfort is second to none. Anyway, I hope you get your Harley one of these days.

Harleys fucking rule bro! Yeah they aren't the fastest bikes on the road but it's a different mindset from sport bikes. It's about enjoying the journey opposed from how fast a guy can get to his destination.

Awesome review i just got a 2018 breakout and it makes me feel the same way!!

Just got the last breakout!!!! 2020 and I love it!!! Now I have two Harleys they don’t make anymore!!!

I have a 06 Fatboy Custom, its got the fat rear tire as well something that was added from the previous owner I wasn't sure how the ride was going to be with the fat rear end but I'll tell you its not bad at all. If by reason of insanity I ever get rid of this bike I would only by a Breakout that's one awesome bike.

16:56 My man hisses, “stupid bike” LOL…..

I currently ride a 2012 StreetGlide. I've been thinking about a second bike, something lighter, lower to the ground. I like the Breakout.

I think you nailed it perfectly what it means to drive a Harley and why they are cool. I want to try out this way off motorcykling after many years off sport motorcykles.

Try the Harley Road KIng Special Shorter rake/dimensions so it turns so much better and it has a lot more lean angle than the Breakout.

I loved watching you in this videos 🤣. I have a 2013 CVO Breakout w/ mini Ape Fat bobber handlebars with the perfect pull back and cruise position . It's all in the right handlebars. It's comfortable and she handles little beautiful 👌 It's all "The Sexy"!! Everyone loves RiTA😁

Great review my man, Just got a sub from the UK for that, Very funny... Love the Tag gives me away part lol I am 46 and changed to an Ducati Xdiavel S 2 yrs ago and the only guy with a cruiser but my god do they chill you out after a bad week :-) This bike looks and sounds fantastic

Thank you it a beautiful breakout

So, it’s been a year and flipping through your videos, I don’t see any Harleys in your garage. Has your mind changed? Do you still want this bike or No?

Can't wait to pick up my 2022 breakout in February

I have a 2016 breakout and love it

A great review! Moreso because I've got a 2021 coming my way in a couple of weeks :)

Harley shifting is always been like that clunk!

I'm buying one for my birthday in May. Here in new zealand we have the 2021 breakout.

I have a 2018 breakout with 16" ape hangers it's my favorite bike I've ever owned it's like the perfect mix of sport bike and cruiser

I’ve been riding an Ultra Classic for years. Yes it’s not fast and doesn’t corner like a sports bike but it’s not designed to be in the first place. It’s fit for purpose and that is BIG miles and I mean BIG. It’ll see me out, I’m 67 and when I’m too feeble to hold it up I’ll convert it to a trike.

You made me look again on Harley Breakout.

It makes you smile

I'm 6'6 ft . I'm dread thinking about starting HD breakout journey. What do you think about the size ?

Am going to buy the breakout. I will have to park it at my friend's house for a year. During that year I will slowly, strategically and tactically convince my wife before I bring it home. Otherwise and like you said, I will be out permanently.

I'm surprised HD sells or even rents the street 500 lol. I took my msf course on one of those, and if you ask me, they serve no purpose for anything beyond learning low speed maneuvers in a parking lot. I can't believe they want ten grand for one of those wretched little bikes.

I Just got a 2019 Breakout today; Awesome Review 🔥****HAILZ****🔥

I have an '18 loved it from the first second i saw it. There is a learning curve with that 240 rear tire but just throw yourself over and it follows great! tons of power. very RARE bike never see these at bike nights or even daytona!

Definitely not crazy to fall for a Harley 😎

I don't think Harley has made a 500cc bike have they!? My Iron 883 has so much power and I don't lose anything on hills and can crank it and pass whenever I want. Only has a stage 1. I am about to get a 2024 Breakout 117 though, it's insanely beautiful and powerful as heaven!

Harley + Karate = Tekken (paul)

Looking to buy first motorcycle and want one of these but was wondering if it’s a rideable bike for a 6’1”290lb beginner? Don’t plan on making long trips just riding around town.

I bought a breakout in 2017 and 100,000 miles later she runs just as she did the day I bought her.

May I suggest to you to join the Harley model specific groups on FB. My experience is that there are often posts about people letting go of their bike for a decent price, as long as they know the bike will switch into good hands and to someone who loves the model as much as they do. Especially easy if you make a post into the group asking for bikes that are for sale. Another nice features is that you can look at all their posts that they made in the group which often includes lots of pictures, videos etc. Needless to say they will also provide you with lots of information themselves and most of the owners are located in the US.

Hi Michael , great review, thanks a lot! One question: today I tested a BO and a Fat Bob (both with the same exhausts) but there was a vibration difference between them. Fat Bob was so smooth while BO vibrated significantly. Is it what you have noticed as well or maybe something was wrong with the BO test machine? Thanks in advance for your reply. Stay safe!

Good idea for a first bike? I’m tempted

It’s been 2 years. Did you get a Harley Breakout?

with a little training it'll turn almost as well, Sounds like an Executive bike the Harley Managers and select Dealer managers are given demo bikes, at a Dealership i was at in South Carolina i had a Night Rod as my Demo bike , the cat is hidden in the exhaust, if money was no object i too would pick a Break-out but it's the Most Expensive of the softails.

Hi... Great vidéo.... thank you... yourlab sound is verry good... how are you recording for motovlog? thank you

I'd go the Lowrider S. Fun in the twisties as well as straight road riding.

That was a nice ride

I know!

I am looking at one these 6’10 36 inseam I wonder how i will fit

Does it have stock muffler or slip on?

Brilliant vid.....I'm looking at a breakout at the moment..after seeing this l may just go for it!! I hate you !!!😂😂😂

Good news also, you don’t have to wear power rangers costume when on a Harley , unlike the sport bikes.

august 31st is the end of the season ? funny i was the service manager for the sister dealership in Southampton mass (until that one was bought by Seacoast HD) and i'd never been there. being a Seacoast dealership expect pushy sales AFTER !!!

crazy, like a fox

I couldn't pass it up....2019 BO....What are you waiting on brother?

im gonna buy this one!!! 2019

Put a deposit on a 2021 Breakout today!

Try a Yamaha Raider

think i could ride this longer than 3 hours without getting a sore arse, back and shoulders😮

I'm looking at a 2020 model tomoz in Perth it's my first bike and it cost 29k but hey you only live once

Ok, does anyone have any idea what the hell this guy initially rode? Being that most Harley’s are large displacement and even sportsters are generally 1200cc wtf 500cc is he talking about? Frankly if you went out of your way to get on whatever that was that’s on you. Every HD dealer is loaded with heavy cruisers and touring bikes….

You just converted me.

Harley makes a 500???

7:09 shout-out civic type r 👌🏽lol

You're gonna need to have an IQ of at least 130 to understand this guy

what about wind? I guess you are well dressed for it

awwww dudes! hahahaahah

Give it too me if y’a don’t like it

Jajajaja. Thets a nice bike

Now he needs to try out an Indian.
