Harley-Davidson unveils new motorcycle called Breakout

Harley-Davidson has unveiled a new motorcycle called the Breakout, SlashGear reports.

The bike is classified as a performance cruiser and fits into Harley-Davidson’s premium motorcycle line. Premium means the bike is far from inexpensive with a starting price of $17,899.

That makes this motorcycle more expensive than some new economy cars. The Breakout has a 240 mm wide rear tire balanced with thick forks and chopped fenders. Harley-Davidson uses a shaved tank console and drag handlebars. The engine is a Twin Cam 103B decked out with lots of chrome and gloss black paint.

The motorcycle uses 10-spoke cast-aluminum Gasser wheels finished with gloss black powder coat. The bike also gets a gloss-black finish on the cast-aluminum oil tank, fork lowers, muffler shields, and the handlebars. To maintain a clean look the bike also uses a side-mounted license plate frame and combination stop/turn/taillights to leave the rear fender uncluttered. The bike can be purchased with ABS and an optional security system.

Riders who opt for the $17,899 basic version will only have a black color to choose from while for $18,299 riders can choose from Big Blue Pearl or Ember Red Sunglo.
