Harley Davidson Softail Breakout 117 (2023)

The 2023 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout 117 is a behemoth of a bike that will undoubtedly turn heads on the street. Its Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine is the pinnacle of torque and displacement in factory-installed powertrains, delivering instant bragging rights to its rider.

A long-and-lean chopper profile is perfectly balanced by a five-gallon fuel tank, topped with a sleek chrome console that adds to the bike’s menacing presence. A new handlebar riser and polished stainless steel handlebar provide improved rider reach to controls, while a reshaped seat accommodates the larger fuel tank.

The Breakout 117 also boasts an improvised Softail chassis that reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness, maintaining the classic look of a hard tail. Other highlights include a high-performance 2-into-2 exhaust system and 26-spoke cast aluminum wheels with a Gloss Black finish. With its Heavy Breather intake and forward-facing exposed filter element, this bike is designed to produce exciting mid-range torque and add hot rod presence.

Ride the Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout 117 for an unparalleled riding experience that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
