Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the specifications provided are for a Harley-Davidson Breakout 117, not the named BMW R18 B, so this profile is based on that mismatched data; a confident rider comfortable with a heavy, low-slung, power-cruiser will feel most at home here.
PurposeBuilt for bold styling and straight-line muscle rather than for covering long distances or carving corners quickly.
Rider FitThe low 650mm seat height aids reach to the ground, but the substantial 310kg wet weight demands strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds and when picking it up from a stop.
CharacterA brash, drag-style cruiser character defined by big torque, a fat rear tire, and aggressive muscle-bike looks over outright agility.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.
