I don't know why people mock HD's attempt to break out of its mold. I think they should mimic Triumph with a range of m/c types. The cruiser bike is exiting many manufacturers catalogues and replacing them with big bore adventure bikes. Harley should or must do the same. I hope this bike succeeds.

I think Harley needs to appeal to that market. The truth is most manufacturers found that it wasn’t very lucrative to play in Harley’s market anymore. There was a time where they were competitive in that segment, but as the mainstream moved on all that was left in the cruiser market was the diehard Harley guys. It is now generally better business to let Harley have their cruiser, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it would be a good move for them to also move away from it, rather they should do both, because that’s what triumph and Ducati are doing, and no one talks about them going out of business.

Love the ending of this one!... And keeping it weird is what ya do..... because "normal" seems so boring🤘

Excellent! You are the first reviewer that so capably articulated the real reasons for buying Pan America. It is a big bike (not too heavy) for big guys, for shitty pothole ridden city streets, for normal body posture, for riding fast and stopping quickly and if really necessary--for leaving the main street and going where others cannot. I did some minor customization to make it more like a "street fighter" and cannot be happier with it.

the shadetree world just keeps getting radder and radder! congrats!

Love it…the Dirt Glide, or for the model junkies the FDRT

Damn josh, people are actually jealous of your life right now. Hope that shows you the self accomplishment, and the pride of your work ethic has shown.

So much for the slow 1000 mile break-in period ! Ride it like you stole it ! Perfect insight , HD made a KTM . I love the military look the bike seems to portray ! No bags, get a top box for lane splitting and evasive moves in traffic !!! Love Berts or Barts dealership, whatever he is called !!!!

To work I loved stripped bikes with no bags, and used a back back. Just get off the bike and go to the office, no need to be digging thru bags and bike pockets. Just park, kill the bike get off and go. The extra layer of cushioning in your back inspires confidence, on the other hand, it tends to get ya a bit warmer/hotter in FL. But to just get there and keep going, the same way when you arrive at the house is priceless. Especially for half hour commutes. In my $20 backpack from Marshall’s I pack some basic tools, all my bike paperwork, rain gear, lunch, water and I was fine for my 30 min commute. It will get you going and under budget for sure.

I understand why H-D released the Pan America, it’s really about appealing to a new customer base and selling to younger riders. From a business and marketing standpoint, I get it. This is a high performance, utilitarian motorcycle that was built to perform and eat up a ton of miles and have alot of adventures on.

ADV bikes are great on the highway and they are the best for riding through the city. Nice high seat height, suspension, and it's my favorite way to commute.

you're spot on, Shadetree, ADV bikes (and SuperMotos, imho) are the ultimate city bikes. Especially as the future is promising more, um, 'unrepaired' road surfaces. 50 years of riding has made me love these things. I think of them as a combination GoldWing (comfort) and SuMo (agility). High quality long-travel suspension is a beautiful thang!

I have never heard a very negative review on the Pan America yet. I'm glad you're getting the shot of one cuz I know you're given an honest review of it. A huge selling point to me is that it never needs a valve adjustment.

I test road one of them a few weeks ago and it’s amazing, just look at all those buttons lol

Hey Josh, for soft luggage i love the simplicity of the Giant Loop Great Basin bag: at the end of a day riding i can toss the entire bag over my shoulder and walk to the motel room/camping site

Love my H-D Pan Am Special and your video. And I’m a proud Multistrada owner too. What surprised me was that the Pan Am moves the soul just as much, though in different ways. Couldn’t agree more on the kickstand … only The Motor Company makes putting a bike on the kickstand dicey. My other nit … for a bike costing over $20,000, far and away most pathetic tool kit ever.

The Dirt Glide ... right? That's exactly what I thought when they started to talk about it a while ago! I know everyone's gonna call it that - Harley should just acquiesce now. Love it!

I love it, I am 5'7" tall with the Pan America Special suspension and the seat in the lower position I and on the balls of my feet, not to far from being able to stand flat footed. I think the reach/lower seat they offer would make it a perfect fit for me. looking forward to your long term review.

Sportbike for fat guys hahaha. This guy has way with words. Golden tongue haha.👌🏻

I wish a few KZreadrs would take the advice about doing a review after riding a bike 100 miles. I will definitely be following this one.

The timing is perfect. The Pan American came along just as the trend towards smaller lighter ADV bikes is gaining momentum.

Mr Tree I just added the Pan America S in Grey and Black to compliment my 2020 Triumph Tiger XCX. My Tiger has the quick shifter and Harley needs to get working on this! I bought the Pan Am loaded with the crash bars and everything they had for it. As far as luggage goes, I'm waiting for SW-Motek to make mounts for their bags for the Pan AM. 🙌👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋🙂

I'm like you, I ride what i can afford and what i like. Currently parked is my 04 RoadKing. I'm riding an 87 Goldwing that I've chopped and cut on. Basically I have the panniers and cut off the suitcase while putting on a po po air ride seat. The Pan American looks and runs like a great touring bike. All the HP will disappear with panniers and a years worth of worldly travel gear. Those overloaded bike pics traversing the African plains or the Argentinian hills just met the new king of getting out there. Be safe young man, hug your ladies for all the work they do. I have only ever ridden a bike to work one time! I stopped at the next off ramp and told them " I won't be in today" the boss saw me and let me go. It was cool, I had a beautiful day behind bars. Keep the shiny side up! Hoka Hey

Love the Pan American ! Thanks for featuring the bike .

Looks to me like HD looked at a Dozen other Brands of Morocycles and said "You know what, we could desing some Modern Motorcycles just like Eric Buell did two decades ago ..

ADV bikes do a lot of things right. They are comfortable, they come with a lot of modern tech and you can put enough cases and boxes on'em to have them as touring machines.

I've told my boss that I wanted to keep riding instead of going into work so many times that now on nice days she thanks me for stopping.

I’m 240 lbs and I own a Pan Am Special. I created a custom mode. Full throttle control, full power, minimal nannies, off-road suspension setting.…Damn this bike is fast and unruly.

A sportbike for fat guys! I never thought about it, but it really is, isn't it? All it needs is a sport fairing and street tires! Great video, I'm looking forward to seeing more of you on the Dirt Glide. I used to do intermediate trails((NOT trials!) on a Road King I bobbed and modded into a terrible ADV, and my friend's Pan Am is a whole different world. Let me get the important part out of the way: The Pan America 1250 doesn't sound like an air-cooled 45 degree OHV twin, and it doesn't feel like one either. It doesn't say potato at idle or gas out at 5000rpm or rattle your hands numb at any point, but in some intangible way it still sounds like a Harley-Davidson... Don't get me wrong, it hits all the same buzzy high notes as an Aprilia or a Ducati, but it still says BRUUUUUUUUUUUMP when all the rest say BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! Indian Scouts and FTRs do the same thing, but not as distinctly, more of an O tone. Seriously though, here's my review if it only takes 500 miles to form an opinion: It doesn't ride like a Harley unless you're used to another ADV, but its definitely the Harley of ADVs-plush, smooth, great to cruise on, more road focused than the BMWs and KTMs of the world and a little flimsy in spots(?!) but it's ridiculously comfortable and confidence inspiring. That's what he says, anyway-for me it might as well have been a fricking EBR! It was sporty and a little bit aggressive on the road, REALLY easy to maneuver slow and fast and not so much eager to go off-road as it was completely fine with it, whatever you wanna do bro! It slid big old loopy figure eights with ease, it jumped a bit(It wasn't really feeling my Evel Knievel act, but it made it through), it didn't mind getting a little splashy-and I was worried, there's some important electrical stuff under the front of that skidplate! I left desperately wishing I could afford one, but I can wait four or five years for somebody to get tired and my pockets to fatten up. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go rebuild this Road King I dropped down the side of a hill. Don't worry, it wasn't the steep side!

Currently I have a vstrom, a dyna street bob and a DRZ400s. Have had sport bikes and other cruisers and dual sports but the adv bikes are my favourite. But I love my Harley.

I like the bones of it. The engine, suspension, tech all looks great. I love that Harley is moving out of their comfort zone and expanding their horizons. But I gotta agree with Chey, it's butt ugly, but not in a good way. If someone makes a new fairing for it with a round headlight, I'm all for it.

It was your video on Buell that brought me here in the first place. As a Uly XT owner, I love seeing this video! I can't wait to see as much as you dare make! Thank you!

I actually like that bike and im thinking very seriously on getting one, so who cares about people hating on it what matters is what you like 👍🏼

Hey, maybe do a power/torque comparison to the 131? Not so much because they are completly different bikes, but just for raw power and for future bobber builders .... hehe. Edit: I left a comment before I got to the end of the video. I gotta say, that ending had me in stitches.

I took a PanAm for a short test ride, about 15 miles, just to throw a leg over one and see if it fit. I am a little shorter at 5'9" with boots on, and I really liked this thing. The power felt so good, and the handling was exactly what I want. And yes, those brakes are no joke, I am coming from a 1989 Honda Transalp, and my main concern with that bike is my brakes. I don't have confidence that they will stop me in a real emergency. The only things I didn't like about the PanAm were the footpegs and the screen UI. The UI took a little getting used to while I was waiting for my test ride to start, didn't feel as intuitive as a KTM or Honda. The footpegs felt like they were wayyy too far back and tilted forward, almost more sport bike like. The footpegs made it hard to stand without feeling like you were leaning over the windshield, and sitting it felt like it was trying to push me forward. Leaning back to keep my body upright felt weird. My thoughts are this: I think I would rather still have the PanAm rather than a BMW or KTM because of the Harley Dealer network. If I ever had a problem there is someone who knows Harleys probably nearby. My only real issue holding me back is the engine, with it being so new and a HUGE departure from what HD has always done. I am happy with my Transalp still, and I really want something bigger for long highway runs, but I don't like the size of most of the other current offerings. I am also thinking of keeping the Transalp as my "dirtbike" and just getting a Goldwing, I figure Josh approves ;).

Modes? "Ramming speed" is the only mode. Fun, thank you for sharing.

I think it's cool! It's just an ADV bike with a Road Glide headlight. It's a nice addition to a market ruled by the R1200GS.

I want all new bikes reviewed by Shadetree. Better than anyone out on any platform.

Josh, I rode the “Dirt Glide” down here in Fort Myers and found it to be a good time, the only negative on the bike was the heat off of the engine and missing the auto shifter up and down. I liked the bike but still prefer my 2018 GS 1200, better balance and not nearly as hot on the legs. It is a however a vast improvement over all other HD’s. Now the thing I hated, the Rockstar HD dealer was jacking the cost by $5,000 and lowballed my “potential trade”. So if you can get one for MSRP or with a small discount you will have made a great deal.

"bike go fast, bike make wheelie, bike do sound, i like bike" - this is by far the best thing i've heard as a 'bike review' :)))

The PanAmerica is a rocket with great suspension and a light, flickable nature. Great bike, as far as I'm concerned and I'm looking forward to some ShadeTree content with this one. Thanks brotha
