Luke Mansfield is Vice President of Motorcycle Management of Harley-Davidson Motor Company, responsible for Strategy Development, Integrated Business Planning, Business Development, and Advanced Analytics and Insights.
Ask him to tell you which bike he is most excited about in the 120th Anniversary lineup from Harley-Davidson and he'll say Breakout.
Why? Well, let's hear him tell you.
"I think if you gave the average person a pencil and a piece of paper and ask them to draw a motorcycle, they're probably going to draw you a Breakout. It's the quintessential Harley-Davidson silhouette - the long, raked-out chopper look and low slung the ground.
"So we first saw Breakouts in 2013. We've now completely reinvented the model and it's better than ever.
"We used to have a 13 litre tank. We've moved to a 19 litre tank. We've put in the 117ci powertrain, which gives you 75kW of power and 167Nm of torque.
"So we have this 240-millimetre rear tyre, and then we have this larger front wheel. We have these 26-spoke roulette wheels. Now, both standing still or moving down the road, these wheels look absolutely magnificent and they really set off the bike.
"Breakout fans are huge, huge chrome fans. So again, it was really important to us that this bike was just covered in chrome. That orange has these wonderful finishes, beautiful, deep, rich paintwork.
"The Softail chassis gives amazing performance with the suspension, so it's much more comfortable. You have traction control and ABS, you have cruise control available. So you have all of the modern conveniences that you want as a rider in 2023 without having to compromise on that classic style that we know our riders love so much.
"I would say Breakout is loud in all of the good ways that will attract all of the right kind of attention. When you bring a bike like this into a fuel station or up to a cafe, you're going to have a crowd around you."
Breakout continues to top the Harley-Davidson sales charts in Australia and it's easy to see why. If you haven't ridden Breakout yet, maybe now is your best reason why. Book a test ride today.
