Lurch and I test road the 2023 Road King Special and Breakout when we attended the Harley-Davidson 120th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Harley hooked me up with the Breakout.  I believe this is an underrated bike and wanted to review it.  Lurch was given a Road King Special to ride.  As he says in this episode, he needed A touring bike to haul my film gear.  

We review each bike and give our opinions of them.  Hopefully, this information will help you if you are considering buying one of these bikes.  

See the specifications for both bikes below.  You can watch my review video of the 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout HERE.
