Harley-Davidson Speed Freak Shows How Easily Custom Breakouts Can Win You Over

Less than a month ago, I came across a custom Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 that simply couldn’t be ignored, so I decided to showcase it here on autoevolution — especially since, at the time, we were still awaiting Harley’s major 2026 motorcycle announcement.

To be honest, what the Milwaukee-based brand ultimately revealed left me somewhat underwhelmed. Once the buzz from the presentation faded, I returned to exploring the expansive custom bike scene in search of something truly engaging. As it often happens, it didn’t take long before something caught my eye.

I’m bringing this bike up now because it connects to a build we discussed back in January, known as the Speed Freak II. The machine you’re seeing here is its predecessor — the original Speed Freak. At first glance, their shared lineage may not be obvious, but a closer look reveals clear links.

Most notably, this Speed Freak is also based on the Breakout 117 platform. It is likewise the creation of a Swiss custom workshop with an extensive portfolio and years of experience — Bundnerbike.

Bundnerbike applied its signature touch to the stock Harley, but this time chose a paint scheme that makes the bike stand out instantly. The mix of beige and red, complemented by gloss black accents, gives the Speed Freak a presence that’s hard to ignore.

The beige and red tones dominate the main body components, most of which come directly from Bundnerbike’s own catalog. These include the fuel tank, side covers, and rear fender, while the front wheel remains uncovered.

As for the wheels, the bike rides on custom one-piece units measuring 21 inches up front and 18 inches at the rear. They’re mounted on an aftermarket single-sided swingarm and finished primarily in gloss black, with red detailing along the edges that adds extra visual flair.

The handlebars, controls, grips, lighting elements — including turn signals — footpegs, shortened kickstand, and even the seat are all aftermarket components produced in-house by Bundnerbike and commonly featured on its custom projects.

From a mechanical standpoint, the Speed Freak largely retains the character of the Breakout 117, but it now benefits from a revised front fork, an air suspension system, and a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust that allows the engine to breathe more freely.

The motorcycle, distinguished by a Capricorn emblem on the air filter, has no publicly listed price, leaving its value open to speculation. For reference, the 2026 Harley-Davidson Breakout starts at $22,999, which at least offers a baseline for expectations.
