If you are into motorcycles you probably know all there is to know about Harley-Davidson's Breakout. A cruiser by trade, the bike offers from the get-go a potent engine in the frame, plenty of chrome to go around, and the potential to have it modified in a variety of ways.
Harley offers some personalization choices for the Breakout right from the factory, as it does for most of the other bikes it sells, but it often happens for riders to want a little more. And that's when they turn to custom shops, some of which have become so good at altering these rides they have almost turned customs into something akin to series production.
The Germans from Thunderbike are one such crew, and the number of Breakouts they've modified over the years is so great they could probably form a brigade. Some of these Breakouts, on account of the way they were made, are now included in families. And the Razor is one of them.
Thunderbike calls Razor the Breakouts it modified using a series of in-house made parts called Grand Prix. The name stands for things like the aluminum fuel tank, rear fender, the seat, the triple tree (with an extra three degrees of rake), and the handlebars, which have been bolted directly to the upper tubes in a bid to give the motorcycle a sportier look and better handling.
Another important element of the Razor family are the wheels, which in case of the Razor we have here, the sixth in the family (6.0), come as a 21-inch piece of hardware at the front and an 18-inch one at the rear – the same dimensions Harley offers on the stock Breakout, but shielded by aftermarket fenders. Both wheels from a line called Vegas Cut, and are designed with straight spokes.
The rear wheel, at least on one side, offers an unobstructed view, on account of the custom crew hiding the disc brake (which increased in size from 300 mm to 340 mm). The wheels are supported by a custom suspension system from a range called Hyperpro.
The engine on the Breakout was left stock, meaning we're still dealing with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin that it its usual configuration cranks out 101 hp and 123 ft-lb of torque. Some of the hardware surrounding it, however, has changed: the air filter is now of the Screamin' Eagle, while the mufflers pulled over the custom exhaust system come from KessTech.
For this project Thunderbike went for a toned-down color scheme, with dark hues of red and blue playing a game of cat an mouse over the bike's bodywork.
It's unclear how much the aggressive-looking Harley-Davidson Razor 6.0 cost to be put together. For reference, consider the fact that the base bike alone sells at the time of writing for $22,499.
