    hey blockhead been watching you quite awhile, just wanted to say i appreciate the fact that you responded to me on your previous video.. its something not many youtubers are willing to do and you went out of your way to respond to what seems to me the most people you possibly can. just wanted to let you know i bought my 883 superlow because i heard you talking about how well you liked the 883 iron, it influenced my choice when purchasing a harley and would just like to thank your for your consistent good quality entertainment

    Hi, just saw your video. Did exactly. The same thing. Initially went for the fat bob. HD offered for me to choose for an other bike on the way back selected the Breakout. And here I am. Loved so much the BO that I bought one ! Absolutely a great ride. Fat bob is good too but to light for me in the front.

    People who go in with expectations will always have something to complain about. As long as you don't compare them to anything else, they look great on their own merits.
    My prediction is by the end of this year, once people start seeing them more, that their attitudes will change.

    an honest channel with 'opportunity', not an 'evaluation' "this is better than that"..allows people to 'see' the bike being ridden if they can't ride it themselves. Thanks Blockhead!

    For me my 1998 evolution works fine. It will keep me on two wheels till I am done riding.
    Harley has to change for the ones who will buy their bikes now and in the future.
    Got my first one in 1975.

    I have never considered riding a Harley until now. I know you die hards LOVE the old school Harley tradition but how long can you keep doing the same thing and still attract the younger generation coming up? Things need to change man. Those older models will always be available to be purchased used because there is a million of them out there. Like I said, first time I find any Harley attractive. I think this is what Harley is trying to accomplish. When the Dyna series came out, everyone cried how they hated it. Now that it's gone everyone is complaining that it's gone. Give them a chance. These new bikes are sexy AF.

      Yeah me too.. The 2018 Fat Bob is honestly the first Harley I consider test driving, love the mean look with the LED light up front, makes it a good mix of modern and old school

      Maybe...but you are comparing apples with tomatoes....Harleydavidson motorcycle nowadays are comparable to ANY bike ...the only thing is the price I think harley are overpriced BUT they do hold value....I would never buy a Japanese bike...not because they are not good bikes but becuz they devalued like crazy...AND THE REASON u customize a Harley it's not to make it look Japanese...its an expression of yourself...

    • @tony2227

      Ahhh... you are one of those who lives in the past....sorry bro wake up...every reviews from respectable magazine not only hear in the USA but abroad as well are saying the same thing ....Harley motorcycle are comparable to any bike....AND by the way ....If speed is what you measured quality then you are in the wrong channel...and speaking about that...IF YOU DISLIKE HARLEY WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE THEN???...GO AND WATCH YOUR JAPANESE BIKE CHANNELS....HATER.

    Great comments around 7:00 about what we're all attracted to, as far as styling. I don't like Dyna's or the Fat Bob, but love the ol' High Tank Bobber look, and the older Indian Scout's from the 1950's, which is where my mind starts to go. Love the Breakouts. Other's love the Dyna's, and think the new Breakout's look like garbage. One of my business partners, is looking at the Fat Bob. We're all different. As it should be.

    @warlok9 7 років тому +1

    I went to see the new lineup Saturday, mainly for these two bikes. Been looking for a reason to give Harley a try. Not very impressed. Look better in photos. The Fatbob especially doesn't look like a $16k+ bike. The managers were doing acceleration runs up and down the parking lot and all the Harley faithful were gushing, ohhhing and awwwing. I had a good laugh to myself as I threw a leg over my FZ09 that would smoke the shit out of either of those bikes at a third of the price (of the Breakout). I know it's not all about power, you buy a Harley for the character and attitude. And that's part of the problem for many riders, I don't want to be "that guy", waking his neighbors with his fart exhaust with a bandana for a helmet and his chin in the air.

    I was originally disgusted by the new line-up and the way they revealed them, but you're helping by demonstrating the breakout since I'm a DYNA guy. I have a 2016 Low Rider that I will slap a 110 on soon, but we'll see what they do with the breakout or if they bring back the DYNA.

    I have a dyna low rider s as well, love the bike. Just curious tho man, was the 114 all that faster, and was it as flickable as the low rider s? I get they redesigned the softail frame but i couldnt imagine it being "sportier" than a dyna frame, just a smoother ride I would think.

    • @barackblows1942
      @barackblows1942 5 років тому

      Ceko I traded my 2012 V-Rod Muscle for a 2019 FXBRS 114. The BO has about 30-hp less than the V-Rod but the torque feels about the same. I would imagine that the V-Rod has a higher top end speed. I had 43,000-miles on my Muscle without ever getting the valve lash adjustment and was ready for an upgrade. If Harley still made the Muscle I would have bought another one instead. I love the 240mm rear tire so the BO was my second choice. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave me $8k for my Muscle on trade although I wish I still had it. Maybe I’ll go buy it back and keep both.🤡

    The bikes look good. The only thing I can see to maybe complain about is the gage. At one point in the 2 videos I watched the gage vibration made it unreadable but that could have been camera vibration. To be honest if that is the only thing people really have a problem with how hard would it be to change it out with an after market one.

    • @ericrothery6583
      @ericrothery6583 6 років тому

      Sandra Ferguson the gauge was blurred on purpose because they "might" have been speeding. If you watch closely it is clear until about 45mph.

  • @yogi2.057
    @yogi2.057 7 років тому

    As before on the Fat Bob, the broomstick drag bars add nothing good to the looks or handling of the '18 Breakout. Outside of the Lazy-Boy forward pegs, it's still one of my favorite H-D's. The longer wheelbase gets rid of the stubby front end look on other models.

  • @williamvanhorn412
    @williamvanhorn412 6 років тому

    I've rode the Breakout 114 and Lowrider S, but a few months apart, so I can't compare directly. Which one seems to have the most power, and better handling. I didn't like the Breakouts bars very well, but remember them about the same in acceleration.

    • @BlockheadMoto
      @BlockheadMoto  6 років тому

      Power and handling go to the Low Rider S, as it has a much better lean angle, and it's lighter weight.

    @Back4More42 7 років тому

    I like the oil cooler and it having a stiffer frame. If like you said it has the tire psi indicators that would be awesome. Rake is 1 deg less and bike is 2.5" shorter. I dont think a 3.5gal over the 5gal tank is a good idea. I always feel like im stopping for gas. Looks cheap in a way...Is it all Metric now? I didnt buy an HD for smooth. I want it to rattle me and my ears.Did the Tire Shredder on mine, so i might not notice the power of a 114 as much as the old bike. cant wait to test ride one.

    • @WHOSKOW1

    @RobertKwolek 7 років тому

    The proportions of these new Harleys are a little awkward, though also waiting to see what the aftermarket will do. The biggest thing for me is the sound. Maybe it doesn't come across with the helmet mic, but it's not the aggressive, rhythmic uneven "potato-potato" sound Harley's are known for, and they're starting to get that intake whine that is an unfortunate side effect of modern engines.

  • @superluigibros703

    How is the turning with the Breakout? I've heard people complaining about turning on corners/curves saying it handles like a boat. seems like you had no issue.

    • @joeglenn7323
      @joeglenn7323 7 років тому

      I'm no expert, but I play one on the web... All joking aside, I have been trying to learn a bit more about some of the issues good and bad regarding some of the HD bikes. I like both the Fat Bob and the Breakout. Styling wise, I like the Breakout more. From what I've read a significant part of the handling issue with the 2017 and prior Breakouts can be linked to the stock tires. Many have changed tire brands and the profile of the front tire and say it makes a world of difference. HD changed the tires, in addition to just about everything else, for 2018 and the bike is said to handle/turn much better.

    Really smooth? Then how come the speedo gets all blurry when you get on it? 😜

    Why do you commenter hate 2018 Harley? IT's about time Harley did this so we could move on away from the old crap !!!

    Sup BLOCKHEAD. I am getting a GoPro Hero and I have a GoPro sport kit. I am going to Douglas Lake in a cabin this year near Pigeon Forge. I was wondering if you could show your camera set up. Or at least respond to this comment describing it.
