If straight-line speed is your priority, the Low Rider ST takes the lead. With 10 HP more than the Breakout, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Breakout has a clear advantage. Weighing in 14kg less than the Low Rider ST, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Breakout. Its seat height is 50mm lower than the Low Rider ST, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the breakout if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the low-rider if you want the alternative brand character.
