If you ride long enough, it feels almost inevitable that you'll end up on a cruiser. There's just something about the laid-back comfort, the style, and the sense of freedom that draws you in over time.
I bought a Road King 2 weeks ago. Super pleased with it. I've covered 300 miles since I picked it up and I have no complaints. Had a Honda sports and BMW adventure before this. The Harley is different. I wish I'd made the switch a couple of decades ago
its a great bike rode sport bikes /dirt bikes for years still have my blade but this is a beautiful ride i love it got a stage 1 and some cobras on it so it a bit louder
Thanks. Nice review. I’m currently on a 2021 Sport Glide with 35,000klms and trouble free. Considering the Breakout and also the Fat Boy for my next bike. Leaning towards the breakout currently. Time to take both out for a solid test ride.
I got the 117 custom good breakout today 2023 model and it’s amazing apes, stage 4 and all the upgrades for grips exhaust pegs and levers aswell as tidy tail and indicators and undermount mirrors, and it runs like a dream with the stage 4
Got an 07 Dyna. I'm away right now and its stuck at home. Just cant wait to get back so I can ride again. Harleys are just Harleys eh, nothing like them
Defo needs stage 1. The other stages are definitely optional but a stage 1 is almost essential. My Low Rider S is night and day from stock to stage 1 and don’t need ear bleeding pipes. I got moderate 2into1 Pipe but at least sounds like a Harley should do. Yours would be even more immense with a stage 1 :)
Nice Vid Alex, enjoyed the no nonsense view without trying to sell it to me. I have a 2018 107 Stage 1 Breakout with Fat Boy Bars, I love it but thinking about upgrading to the 2025 when out. I'd be getting a bigger tank, Cruise control and Traction control, and of course that 117! I've test rode one and loved it. I had to get a 3rd party USB installed as I found the factory USB (2?) on the bike didn't give enough charge to my Android mobile while using Google Maps, so it'd still gradually run out of juice. Did you find that, as I see you appear to be using the stock USB with your mobile?
Hi Mark, thanks for your nice comments. Yeah, didn't have an issue with the bike charging my iPhone 14 Pro, didn't notice it going down and used it on pretty much every ride, phone does hold charge well though so there is that. Haven't seen the 2025 yet, wonder if much is gonna change?
A bike with such trail is nothing for me. Seems it goes round corners like a truck and one prays there doesn't come a lorry from the other side... Sadly we got plenty of switchbacks over here. I assume you can ride and it is not you.
@@justRORIRARU seems like someone has never ridden a Harley. They have no problems with corners, unless it’s a fatboy rear tyre which you have to work harder but most standard rears are perfectly agile. My low rider s is as agile as any of my R1’s, blades and Ducati’s. It’s only if you ride like a pro racer (which you shouldn’t be on roads) you’d complain about a difference. At legal speeds Harley’s are no worse than any other bikes for cornering
@@iio58ur right I have seen just one Harley rider here in the Alps doing passes and you are right again just one doing that on a Panigale, both are experienced riders, friends and tbh a bit nuts. :)

@Sr.D facts. The comfort can’t be duplicated.

That thing must pull with the stage four, cograts
Great review and covered a lot of the questions I had.
Ah, thanks Martyn, glad you enjoyed it!

@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel Blade Harley Davidson Oxford told me no change in spec.
I actually love the bike but not the colour schemes and has waaay to much chrome for my liking i would opt to get it blacked out first
How tall are you?
6'1 long arms and legs

Surrey's roads are a disgrace.
no need for noisy exhausts , pulls well enough -- [ fatboy 114 ] .;;
Too right!
Headlamp is ugly now.
