Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 utilizes a 1917.4 cc (117 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 166.8 Nm (123 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 103.5 x 114.0 mm (4.1 x 4.5 inches) with a 10.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Breakout 117 measures 309.8 kg (683 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 650 mm (25.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,695 mm (66.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 379 km (235 miles) between fill-ups.
