2013 Harley-Davidson FXSB Breakout : Coolness Factor: 50%

Yeah, but Mike compare it to the 2006 Kawasaki Mean Streak...there's more than a slight resemblence...to me anyway.

Harley makes nicely crafted bikes, but cutting edge they are not! And the V-rod...that's been on the market now for over a decade, they need to move quicker!

Later.

Its a smooth riding bike. I have the CVO version and to me its a cross between the Fat Boy and VROD.

That is true, in fact, it's one of the things I hinted at with the "H-D getting inspiration from other manufacturers" line rather than sticking to one style of design. The more I look at it from my own reply above, the new Breakout looks a lot like a Rocker in many ways, but just better looking to me overall.

I'm upto about 360 miles, pipes and tuner are coming soon. The more I ride that bike the more I love it.

I like it, as usual too pricey for what you get in my opinion. Reminds me somewhat of a Yamaha Raider. I also would like for harley to come out with something a little different v4?

I think its laughable that anyone would call this bike fail without having actually seen one in person or taken it for a test ride.

I like the sound of a Harley, but to get it, you sacrifice performance and fuel-efficiency by default. On the whole, I'm just not a fan of Harley-Davidsons, but I get why another person might look at/ride a bike like this and think the world of it. ...I'm just not going to vote.

I did a PDI on a vivid black FXSB at work today. It's a beautiful motorcycle from any angle, and it does what it was designed to do extremely well. It's not the kind of bike that makes me want to trade in my VRSCF, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

It seems like every time a Harley-Davidson is featured here, people moan and cry about a perceived lack of innovation from the motor company. I'm willing to bet that the people who make those comments have never owned or ridden a Harley-Davidson, and have no experience working on them.

Some people voted cool or awesome without having seen or ridden one either. It's just an opinion on whether you think a bike is cool or not.

I get it. Harley's just aren't some people's cup of tea. That being said, this is one of the most comfortable bikes that I have ever ridden. Not really fond of the stock exhaust that they go with but I realize that they do it to meet emissions standards.
