Harley-Davidson Breakout Review; Power And Presence Galore
If you pick up a dictionary and look for the meaning of 'Breakout', you will find that it means 'a forcible escape', say from a prison. Or it can mean something which found sudden and massive success. But the Harley-Davidson Breakout that you see here, well, the name suits it because it is an escape from traditional Harley design and so, a breakout. I rode this motorcycle for a few days and it is difficult to not fall in love with it, despite its obvious flaws. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Design Alright so, one of the biggest draws of owning any Harley-Davidson motorcycle is the way it looks. And the story is the same yet different with the Breakout. Same, because the kind of presence and visual appeal that this motorcycle has is unlike anything on the road. And why is it different because, the way the motorcycle looks is a huge departure from how other Harley Softail motorcycles look. The 21-inch front wheel, raked out front end, a custom-looking LED headlight, and tear-drop shaped fuel tank make for a distinct design. In the middle, down below, you have this vast expanse of gleaming chrome and the two-into-two exhaust, which just looks so heavy metal. At the rear you see the off-set number plate and the chopped fender which shows off that massive 240 section tyre in all its glory. The other highlight is the 'Heavy Breather' air filter which sticks out, but not like a sore thumb. The Harley-Davidson Breakout looks more like a custom motorcycle than a model that would have rolled off an assembly line. I absolutely love the way it looks. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Features Now the Breakout gets a decent set of features, which include ABS and traction control along with a small negative LCD screen mounted on the handlebar, which shows all the required info, although it is a bit difficult to read under bright sun. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Ergonomics Sitting on the motorcycle is quite easy, since the seat height is a scant 665 mm. You seat low and you reach out to the handlebar, which is nice and wide. The footpegs are placed forward like it is on a cruiser. But if you were to drag it out of a parking lot, you will need solid strength because it weighs in at 310 kg. But does it disappear on the move? We are about to find out. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Engine Specifications It gets a 1,923 cc V-Twin also called the Milwaukee-Eight 117, which refers to the cubic-inch capacity. The behemoth of an engine is air-cooled, and it makes about 102 hp at 5,020 rpm along with putting out a mind-blowing 168 Nm at a relatively low 3,500 rpm. To put that into perspective, the Tata Nexon petrol, with a 1.2-litre engine makes 170 Nm at up to 4,000 rpm. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Performance Riding the Breakout literally makes you feel like the king of tarmac. The motorcycle pulls like a freight train. The sheer ferocity with which the motorcycle accelerates is something that you need to experience in order to believe it. You do feel vibrations on the handlebar and the footpegs but there is nothing that feels overly intrusive, except the loose fuel filler cap, which was sort of annoying. Also, shifting gears feels like an occasion. The metallic clang, with which the gear slots, well, to me, it feels satisfying. And if cruising at triple digit speeds is something that you like, the Breakout can do that with relative ease. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Ride & Handling Despite its sheer size and weight, it is not like you will be left with a sour taste as far as dynamics is concerned. The suspension is surprisingly decent, more so than the current crop of 650 cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield, I daresay, and yes, the motorcycle does take some time to lean, but when it does, you will start scraping your footpegs within no time. And don't expect to change directions on a dime, of course. One also has to be careful while negotiating big bumps, because I did end up scraping the underbelly a couple of times. The ground clearance is hilariously low at 115 mm. Now, if you want to go long distances on the Breakout, you will have to be mindful of the windblast which will surely play spoilsport about a couple of hours into the ride, unless your backside is not protesting already and your fingers aren't feeling tired from the pulling in the heavy-set clutch lever. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Price and Rivals VO This is the 2024 model of the Breakout and it is priced at Rs. 31 lakh (ex-showroom). While the 2025 model is listed on the company website, the price is yet to be announced. Yes, the Breakout is definitely expensive considering that you can buy the Ducati Diavel V4 for Rs. 27.2 lakh and the Triumph Rocket 3 for Rs. 22 lakh, both being significantly cheaper. Harley-Davidson Breakout: Verdict Riding the Harley-Davidson Breakout is an event. It has exceptional street presence and incredible pose value. The best part is the happy 'king of the world' feeling that it offers when you ride it. Because you know that all eyes are going to be on you. If you are a Harley owner or plan to own one, the Breakout in particular, then all the inherent flaws and that hefty price tag won't make a difference to your purchase decision.

Kia Syros long term review
Model: Kia Syros HTX+(O)Test Started: May 2025/2,053kmTenure/Target mileage: 6 months/10,000kmMileage this month: NAEfficiency this month: NAMy tryst with diesels has been informative, and spending six months with the Tata Nexon diesel made me gain immense love for what has become in today's day and age, the cruder fuel, if one looks at the market. But some automakers have not given up, god bless them, Kia being one of them, they offer diesel powertrains in all of their internal combustion engined models, and the latest one, the Syros has driven into our fleet, in its top spec HTX Plus (O) AT trim. And while discussions about the Syros will begin with the looks, I am gonna talk about my first impressions of the cabin first. I absolutely love the Syros' dashboardlayout which focuses on maximised space, and a slick designaesthetic. advertisement Unlike what we expected, the Syros is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Exter and Aura, and not the Kia Sonet/Hyundai Venue platform, and this means that the Korean automaker's second sub4m offering is distinctly different to the Sonet. And this difference is immediately apparent the moment one steps inside, the sheer maximisation of space is comparable to electric vehicles. The expansive dash layout is neat, and layered which works well with the storage shelf on the left side and the triple display panel, including the instrumentation, infotainment and the climate control panel. But where the Syros wins out are the seats, and the incredible amount of headroom and shoulder room that each occupant enjoys. The driver's seat is power adjustable, while all four seats get ventilation. The 12.3-inch instrument panel is slick, and the graphics are fresh for Kia. Our long term Syros starts its tenure wish just over 2,000km on the odo. advertisementFrom the time I have spent in the driver's seat, my opinions are mostly positive, but the Syros has not been made for driving pleasure, the steering has a slightly squared off shape, and is really smooth and light, but lacks accuracy, hence is quite comfortable to use in the city, but fun isn't something it translates very well. Even the seating position, with all the adjustability, feels right only in a more laid back setting. The SUV's ride is brilliant, but undulations that are sharper do filter in, and taking corners and curves is a task that has to be done with care. Through the course of the next six months, we are going to tell you how Kia's smartest offering for the Indian market 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder dieselPower: 115bhpTorque: 250NmTransmission: 6-speed torque converterDimensions (LxWxH): 3,995x1,805x1,680mmWheelbase: 2,550mmEx-showroom price: 17.80 lakhSubscribe to Auto Today Magazine

Hit-and-run case accused releases dog to prevent arrest, chased down
KOCHI: Police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident that claimed the life of a 48-year-old pedestrian at Irumbanam on the night of May 9. The accused, identified as Jiby Jacob, a resident of Maneed, was allegedly behind the wheel of the vehicle that hit Arun Kumar, a resident of Irumbanam, while he was crossing the road. According to Hill Palace Police, the accused fled the scene without stopping after the collision. A case was registered and a detailed investigation was launched, during which officers examined CCTV footage from multiple locations along the Pettah-Refinery Road corridor, where the accident occurred. 'Initial footage retrieved was blurry, but we were able to confirm that the vehicle involved was a white Tata Nexon,' said an investigating officer. Based on this lead, police reviewed around 40 CCTV cameras to trace the movement of white Tata Nexon vehicles that passed through the area between 9.30 pm and 10.30 pm. The breakthrough came when officers identified a white Tata Nexon parked in front of a pet clinic in Tripunithura, approximately 30 minutes before the incident. The vehicle, registered in Delhi, was linked to a visit by a man who had come with his wife and pet dog. Pet clinic staff identified the individual as Jiby Jacob. Subsequent analysis of phone records helped police trace Jiby's location. When officers reached his residence, he reportedly released his pet dog in an attempt to block police entry and tried to escape through the rear gate. However, he was apprehended after a brief chase. During interrogation, Jiby confessed to his involvement in the accident. Police also discovered that he had taken his car to a workshop in Tiruvalla the following day to repair the damage that occurred in the collision. 'He claimed that he didn't notice the pedestrian and, in panic, fled the scene. He had been working in New Delhi and had returned to Kerala a few months ago,' the officer said. Jiby was produced before a court and remanded in judicial custody. Police said they would seek his custody for further evidence collection.
