Hey my breakout is having the rear fender changed due to rust, if the problem persists i could see myself getting fed up and selling it .with that said I do love the bike and and probably would not sell it for any other reason.The street glide is an awesome bike too I would save up and have 2 bikes if i were nickey

[Layin the Pipe]

I took my SG and my Breakout for rides today. Probably about 100 miles each. I don't think I could let either one go.

If Nicky want to sell or trade his BO for another model, why would it chafe your a$$?  If he decides to trade the SG in 3 months, what does it matter to anyone here?  It's his money and he can do whatever he wants to with it.  More power to him.  When you are making his payments or it cost you something personally then get upset. Until then don't get your panties in such a wad.

At least one person gets it....

I don't understand why people care about what others do with their money.

....I'm gonna go buy a 2014 CVO Breakout in blue....and set my FLHXS on fire.

Regarding buying a 'blue' BO...Not the blue BO!!! Anything but the blue BO!  (just kidding!)

Nicky, I look at the reactions differently. Us BO owners are a small group of folks and we hate to see anyone leave the tribe. Look at it this way: it's better than everyone begging you to PLEASE sell the BO because you are not cool enough to own one! But now that you pulled the trigger and sold it hey I'll be jealous of you every time I have to travel more than a couple hundred miles away from home and have to count on the kindness of my bagger friends to have enough stuff packed for survival.

BTW, how many miles have you put on your SG so far? Any comparison reports on differences in ride quality, feel, etc.? What mods are you thinking of? Pipes, wheels? Details, man, details!! I would like to have some ideas for when I add an SG next to my vintage 2013 black and silver BO - aka the 'ONLY' year and color combo the bike gods intended for this bike!

I've got a whopping 11 miles on it.  The day I picked it up, it was 42 degrees.  The next day, it snowed 1/2" and another 1/2" of salt was laid.  It's parked until March or April.  As for mods, I think I'm going to do the V&H Dresser Duals with the Hi-Output slip ons.  I went to the dealer yesterday and there was a 2012 with this set up and it sounded perfect.

As for the Breakout....it was the closest thing to a custom you could get from a manufacturer.  I love the looks of it, but being OCD about keeping my toys nice, the thought of having tins swapped was A. Annoying/dis-heartening, and B. Another chance for someone to mess something else up during swapping.  Honestly....having to have the tank swapped before purchase because of a black speck and clear coat flaking took the wind out of my sails.  Then to see 4 more of those specks, and what looked like pinholes on the replacement tank annoyed the chit out of me.  Some people can say, "let the warranty cover it.....you'll have a new part in 8-10 weeks".  That's not me, so I got rid of it.

Speedy, very well said...+1 (or is that X1, =1, #1....I'm so confused)

Nicky, as for the new deal you have been offered...stick with the Breakout.  Plus, I'd be ripping that dealer a new sphincter over renouncing their original offer.  Whether they have a buyer for your bike or not, they should be held accountable for an offer...not cool.

Just when I think I got the secret code figured out....................here comes Howard

"Would you do an even trade, a CVO Breakout for a Street Glide Special"

I agree that some of the replies on this thread have been chitty to say the least, but your comment above leads me to question why you start threads asking these kinds of questions in the first place.  What was the point of starting the thread?  Did you really plan on making your decision based on the input of a bunch of strangers on the internet?  When you decide on your next purchase do you intend to set up a poll on the forum and buy whatever the majority tell you to buy? 

My point is if you don't want opinions on what to do with your money, don't ask questions about what you should do with your money.  Seems simple to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

Yes Jerry you're missing something.  Your morning cup of coffee.

Not to be the last to the party but I agree with Jerry.  I don't know you Nicky but I would say the same to anyone that asked the same question.  When you solicit other people's opinions, why do you get defensive when they share their honest thoughts with you?     If you weren't prepared for a variety of answers (some not to your liking) than why did you ask for feedback?  You are not the first person nor will you be the last on this site to ask for input and then be upset over the responses you get in return.

Happy you like your new SG.  Ride safe.

Its the dick-ish responses....thats what bothered me.  I was soliciting opinions because they are 2 totally different bikes.  The new SG has a ton of options....new bags, infotainment, better suspension and so on.  I was looking for "Depends on your needs", "The new stuff is over rated because I know".....answers like that.  Not 6th grader taunts and jabs about me owning a few other bikes.  Whatever......its funny, I guess I should expect a few cockmuppets to have their say.
