Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) exclusive performance cruiser the 2016 Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout motorcycle is detailed with new dark finishes. This model re-writes the factory-custom style book with cutting-edge finishes and textures applied with an obsessive eye to design and detail.
Performance is delivered by the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110B, the most-potent Harley-Davidson production air-cooled engine. For maximum performance the Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout engine is fitted with black blunt-cut mufflers, an open-element Screamin’ Eagle Heavy Breather Elite intake, and a high performance Assist & Slip clutch with hydraulic actuation. With new 43mm inverted forks gripped in a robust three-bolt triple-clamp, plus the added stopping power of dual front disc brakes with floating rotors, a Reduced Reach front brake lever, and standard Anti-Lock Braking System. The stiff front end and 19-inch front wheel enhance agility, while a massive 240mm-wide rear tire effectively transfers power to pavement.
The Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout provided the Harley-Davidson design team with an opportunity to utilize several new finish treatments. “We worked intensely with our plating suppliers to develop the hue and depth of Smoke Satin Chrome, and we are the first to use it in the motorcycle industry,” said Harley-Davidson Senior Stylist Dais Nagao. “It’s a finish that looks really contemporary and exclusive but also kind of sinister. We’ve carefully placed Smoke Satin Chrome next to a black surface so it creates a layered effect. For example, the top rocker cover is gloss black, and the lower cover is Smoke Satin Chrome. It’s on the exhaust header shields next to the black engine and black mufflers. We used Smoke Satin Chrome on the oil lines and fittings to add an unexpected detail.”
Scorched Chrome, a second new finish debuting on the Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout, plates the Aggressor custom wheels. Restyled derby and timing covers have a new, mechanical look. Sheet metal is finished in solid Starfire Black or two-tone White Gold Pearl/Starfire Black, each with a single hand-applied graphic stripe flowing along the tank and rear fender to reinforce the performance theme of the CVO Pro Street Breakout.
There’s a lot of drag-racer influence found on the Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout, from the flat 1.25-inch drag-style handlebar to the wind-cheating speed screen and the color-matched chin spoiler. The deep bucket seat and bolstered pillion combine to hold the rider in place when the clutch is dumped and its Screamin’ Eagle horsepower launches the CVO Pro Street Breakout off the line. Other styling features include a trimmed front fender, blacked-out Airflow Collection accessories on hand and foot controls, black Profile custom mirrors, and a low-profile console with smoked braided vent lines. Electronic cruise control and the H-D Smart Security System featuring a new hands-free integrated security and locking fob are also standard equipment on the Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout.

I love everything about this bike – but especially those uncluttered handlebars.
