Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2014 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout features a 1689.6 cc (103.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 129.1 Nm (95.2 lb-ft) at 3,000 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 98.4 x 111.1 mm (3.9 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Softail Breakout measures 322.1 kg (710 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 627 mm (24.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,709 mm (67.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 338 km (210 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Harley-Davidson archive, this model family spans 6 indexed model years from 2014 to 2019, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
