Autoweek Mag. Reviews 2013 CVO Breakout
« on: November 02, 2012, 03:15:00 PM »
The October 15 issue of Autoweek had a short article about the CVO Breakout which now can by seen online: 

Two-wheel Lowdown: 2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Breakout.

Thought the Breakout owners would enjoy!

Nice enough looking for what they are.....that's for sure. 

However, I just couldn't imagine going back to a softail suspension and handling after riding a Dyan or a bagger for any length of time. :nixweiss:

Electric starting and EFI add civility, but, while clutch engagement is beautiful, shifting is clunky and loud. Low- and midrange power are terrific, but the power curve signs off early, further pigeonholing the Breakout into cruiser rather than go-fast duty.

Hey, you put on automatic air suspension, and you have a good ride!!!!

I've had them both ways, and the stock suspension is bad!
