went by today to run all the numbers to make sure there would be no surprises in the deal-bike was to arrive tomorrow...
HOWEVER, when i walked into the dealership the owner asked me if I had seen my bike yet....it actually arrived about 15 minutes before I got there...crimson red...
They were finishing taking the wrapping off....OMG, i could not believe how that bike looks in person. it is seriously low, slammed and long....
Perfect fit for me, even at 6'5". The rear pillion provides a very nice lower back support, however, I just don't see how I can leave it on....Want that entire rear fender exposed!
Once it is prepped tomorrow, I am going to examine it front to back with a fine tooth comb to ensure it is perfect before signing the papers....
time.....is.....standing.....still ;D
-
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock..... :devil: Sorry I just couldn't resist. :D :D :D
Seriously... good luck tomorrow and don't forget...
:worthless: :worthless:

Congrats on the new scoot! Let the mods begin.

Congrats on owning MY bike in MY color ( I just haven't convinced the little woman to let me buy one) ;)
Seriously dude, pics, pics, pics
BTW, how much OVER list did they hit you for and did you know you were getting the red one, or did you have to take whatever color came in first?
-
Good luck pictures pictures please
-
Come on mate. :worthless:
Mine is still at least 4 weeks before it gets on the boat for the ride to Oz! so I still wont get it until the new year!
But I have ordered the backrest and bags...

heck no...waiting for the dealership to open!! i thought about getting there early with my face pressed up against the glass, begging them to open......
actually, I am heading that direction now...unfortunately, while yesterday was 80 and beautiful here in central Ohio, today and for the next 5 days there is a 50% chance of rain.....oh man, I do not want the maiden voyage of my first CVO to be in an enclosed trailer :'(
-
Z,
You're a luckier man than I...I still haven't gotten confirmation of mine getting shipped!! Good luck this morning. I can't wait to fly out to KC to bring mine home to VA.
Sort of glad it isn't happening this weekend...Frankenstorm would have made for a not so pleasant trip!!

-

-
Didn't realize we were getting new switches!

Hi, C/A Harley in Plain City, OH...just outside of Columbus.
Not sure if you are interested in one or live around here, but I know that Mid-Ohio HD in Springfield, OH has a crimson red coming Nov 1, and as of yesterday, it was NOT spoken for. Brian there told me they are asking MSRP only....no price gouging....
-
Hi folks,
well, I got her home. First time trying to attach a pix, so I hope this works...it looks terrible(the pix, not the bike). It was dark when I got home so this is under artificial lights in front of my garage...background is blown out...sorry about that...some thoughts....
I was able to take a ride today from the dealership before it started raining....my, oh my. I really thought my 2008 Custom with the 103ci big bore had some pull, but this thing has crazy torque in every gear. you let out the clutch and it is hauling the mail....smooth power delivery....very smooth, the fly-by-wire throttle is very responsive. First big twin I have ever had with it, so I was a little concerned...no need to be(obviously, I didn't shift past 3500, being in the break-in period and all)-but loads of grunt.
I really dig the instrument cluster...they did a fantastic job here. analog(and digital, if you like) tach, digital fuel level, MPH, and gear selection...It's incredible how much time they put into this thing....you can change the back light of the LCD, the tach, and the tach needle colors, independently, to one of 600 different color shades...mind boggling. it's located perfectly so you don't have to lower your head as with the traditional harley consoles on the tank.
I have only seen a few of the details so far, but as already stated everywhere, the paint has to be seen to be believed. Also, I found it interesting that there is no center brake light. The only brake lights are the two blinker pods on the rear struts...there is only a reflector going across the back of the lip of the fender(which is coming off as soon as I figure out how!)
The wheels-wow. The front wheel stands out more than any other part of the bike. With the front end sitting low, and the wheel being 21" and the tire being a 130, it just jumps out at you when first seeing the bike.
I don't think anyone is going to have to be concerned with whether the 240 rear tire affects handling because, well, the pedals scrape at any greater lean angle than a normal 90 degree turn on the street(ok, a slight exageration). There were a couple of twisties I took it on, and wow, there must have been sparks coming off the street I was scraping so hard! The front downward sloping of the frame is the cause. My Custom is just the opposite, the frame slopes upward toward the front giving much more lean angle. This thing is seriously slammed, very low....I was surprised just how low it sits in person. But I knew this from all the reviews. This is a straight line hot road and is long and low, and looks good getting from point A to B. But for me, that's what I wanted....when I want to do the twisties, I'll pull the HD out of the garage that can do serious damage to S curves ;D
Fit on the bike-unbelievable. it pulls so hard in every gear, it's a good thing the pillion hugs your lower back nice and tight. I was really concerned about not having the 3" control extensions on this bike that are on my Custom, but I don't need them. I am 6'5" with a 32" inseam, and I have plenty of room. The pegs and controls are laid out pretty far forward. For me it's an absolute fantastic and comfortable riding position.
The ONLY thing I don't like thus far is that *_)% licence plate holder. I get that it's horizontal so it can be legal in all 50 states, but holy crap it is just so tacky on this bike...it's painful to look at it....now, it is spring loaded so it does fold inward..I am going to figure a way to keep it folded in until a cop stops me the first time ???
sorry this is long-finally, the seat....it is unique and the brown just works perfectly with the red color...the alligator skin pattern gives it a rustic, worn look that I like. I never have liked shiny black seats much....

pilotroll, just sent you a pm..thanks!
-
Its a beautiful bike enjoy it and drive safe.
I guess you have the permission from your wife to sleep in the garage tonight next to the bike!! hehe well i have it from now
:orange: :apple: :pineapple:

yea, for sure....she's bummed because the bike is a little too wide for her to ride(she is 5' 3" short)..she runs a V-Rod though so she is happy..
my office does connect to the garage where the bike is, so I can have the door open and admire it....
A 50 year-old man oggling over a two wheeled vehicle just like I did when i was 13 and got my first Schwinn Continental bicycle....I hope I never grow up :)

Congrats :2vrolijk_21: I bet you've already had to wipe the tank off from drooling on it on the way home. :vrolijk_4: :lolk:

Dude, I have already gotten after the paint with my dual orbital with Menzerna polish, and a fresh coat of Souveran carnauba :bananarock:
NOW, it is starting to look like a bike worthy of being in my garage! (I am a detailing demon)
"ride 'em like u stole 'em, but keep 'em looking like a garage queen".....that's my motto..
-
So we have the right for some clear photos now :worthless:
-
Congrats. The bike looks great.
Ride safe and have fun.

Jeff,
I saw somewhere (article/blog) that mentioned the Breakout coming with a bike cover. Can you confirm? Perhaps it was someone that just got a bennie from their dealer.

Yes it did. Has a nice embroidered "Custom Vehicle Operations" log on the front...

Nice...one less thing to buy!
-
Congratulations on your new Breakout! Looks fantastic!
-

GULP! well, I guess all those naysayers who say $26,499 is way too much for this bike in the US have not tried buying one in Egypt or OZ ::)
-
Thats why am getting mine from the US lol.

yeah ... we feel funny reading about these guys

Add to that when u need spare parts or accessories price wise and availability. I think Harley must work a bit on their presence in the emerging markets!
