Most people that have motorcycles do not ride them. Especially Harley riders. Just look in the used bike section. Countless 10+ year old bikes with 10,000 miles on them. I do at least twice that in a year.....LOL No shame to anyone's game. Most people do not ride long distance or in bad weather. But as long a people are having fun when they do get to ride is all that matters.......

Great bike Rick. I still love the simplicity of a basic air cooled and my idea of high tech would be to have a disk break in the front. Aside from that I like to think this bike will bring Harley back around and make it truly competitive in the world market. Personally I think it has a lot to offer.

Great video. Love the assessment/breakdown. Good info. Thanks Rikki 🤝👍

It's pretty comparable to anyone else's fully dressed big ADV bike, isn't it? BMW, Ducati, KTM, all these manufacturers charge a small fortune for their top tier, fully accessorized ADV bikes from what I understand. Why shouldn't Harley? I think it's a killer bike! I think the Pan America, in general, is one of the best-looking bikes being made right now. It's got a totally unique and totally Harley Davidson stance. I have thought about trading in for one myself, but it's really hard to part with my FXLRS.

Great take on your new CVO PAS! I have me a 2022 G.I. Enthusiast, I named "Old Abe", the name of the Screaming Eagle, of the famed 101st Airborne Division, the Division I served with in the Gulf War (1990-1991). Keep posting, I enjoy your content.....and "Ride On" brother!

Love the look of that paint! Thanks for your service, bro!

Just got a 2022 pan am special leftover in 2024 for 10k off sticker price, love it so far

Just ran across your channel. It's great seeing a real rocker who is also a REAL rider!..I actually met you around 01 or 02 when you came to the Guitar and Drum shop that I worked at when yall were touring through Raleigh Nc..We were actually carrying your signature sticks and Pork Pie. ANYWAY, my wife and are both avid adventure riders as well as rock fans so this is pretty awesome!..Ride safe wildman and we look forward to checking out more of your channel!

Awesome bike. You are correct, made to ride not set. That CVO is sharp!

I have the 2022 Panam Special, the army green version, I love it, even with it's few problems. Mine is in the workshop at present, they are upgrading the alternator to the 2024 version, the old one broke, had a loose magnet that was causing it to cut out. I have dropped mine a few times, only scratching the crash bars. CVO Panam, I think it should have had the Screaming Eagle exhaust. I have a V&H muffler, it is fantastic.

So during Covid i picked up a Klr 650 i have fully kited it out. Why because it is by far the most reliable bike on the market with parts history going back to the 70s that will work on this bike today. That being said, As much as i like japan. I want an adventure bike that is AMERICAN. that's what i want. i wanted to pull the trigger on the Harley. When it first launched it had a crap ton if issues. and it was all over the place. To be honest I sorta let it go and till today. I have not even checked it out, and I ran across your vod. So ill watch the video and post back with Qs hehe thanks for the vod.

The Pan America is probably the best bike coming out of H-D these days.

I’ve been considering upgrading my 21 special for the CVO, if just to get away from the gremlins, but I’ve done so much to mine, I finally have it dialed in, but, you make a compelling case! I wasn’t a fan of the paint at first, then I saw it in person and absolutely loved it!! Congrats on on the new CVO brother!!

I freaking loved my 2023 pan American,so naturally I needed a cvo

CVO Pan America is a great bike...and it's good to know that you didn't mess up your paint dropping the previous one. Ride safe

Rode it. Agree on the tighter chassis feel

Beautiful ride and your voice edits w/ the bee are cracking me up. Can't wait to watch more Pan America content from you

Beauty, bubba! That CVO is truly epic. My Pan America Special (2023) in Vivd Black is also epic. I have mine all tricked out (totally) and the last bit I'm going to do to it is take it apart and have the engine guards and rear foot peg brackets powder coated RED. Totally bad a$$. Enjoy, bro! marcus

Nice job cutting in the various paint jobs. Great research. Rock on brother!

I could be convinced! I rented one on Maui and wrung its neck around that island. I was impressed with the engine and the brakes especially. I hate on Harleys a little bit (I keep it to myself) but they did a good job on the PanAm.

"IT'S THE SAME PLANE!!"

When I think of HD bikes that isnt what comes to mind but if it gets people on 2 wheels it cant be bad

Cracking good video mate, well done!

I'll admit that when it first came out I wondered "No engine work? What's the point?" But..... I bought one a couple weeks ago, and don't think it's a waste at all! I had a 10 year old KTM that I loved, but was suddenly in a position to get a new Pan-Am. And while I was going to just get a "regular" RA-S, I knew I'd want the luggage for sure. There was a $6000 price difference between the RA-S and the CVO & I realized that the final cost of the 3 cans & mounting gear would be about $2300-2500....that's almost half that price difference. Then I started looking at all the things the CVO came with besides the luggage & paint job; There's a ton, like the better seat, better skid-plate, quickshifter......so many little things like the radiator grill, better grips, tank pads, etc. While a lot of those are things I could live without, I realized after doing the math that you really DO get your money's worth with the CVO. (And I don't have to do the work to install any of it!) And that doesn't even count the extras it comes with like the tool kit & cover. I eventually realized that "it's a $3000 paint job" is really more just a couple hundred, and that amazing black metal-flake & "orange" (Red!) is worth it. It looks amazing.

I was just talking about this yesterday. Tons of comments were that the Pan Am doesn't sell that well to begin with, why make a CVO version, especially for a bike that is an ADV bike? Well, it's selling really well! It's because of the reasons you listed and many of the reasons I mentioned!

Congrats on the new bike! 🤟

Kinda wishing I would have waited a year for the cvo and save me hours of wrenching. Still happy with my 23 though. Great video!

I.ll take one of those and a new Vrod. Last time I saw you jam was Hershey park. Rock on

Other than the paint they added most of the bells and whistles. A lot of the stuff I would have done on my 22. I'm suprised they didnt update the exhaust. I'm excited about the new electircal system. If I were to upgrate bikes, it would be to that one.

Only thing your missing is studs for the tires and a snowmobile suit and come to Michigan for the winter fun .👍🏻

kick ass! I got a '22 last year. Ride safe.

I haven’t had the pleasure of riding one yet. I live in Canada and every time I pass by a logging road on my bike, I say “ boy I wish I could ride that road “. Someday!

Awesome Rikki!!! Any dirt bike content coming?

It's a fun bike for sure! I'd love to have it as a second bike

If I hadn't got such a killer deal on my brand new 23 2 months before that CVO came out well I would have bought one. My 23 special I've done almost 6,000 mi in less than 4 months flawless. It's tackled everything I've thrown in front of it and the bike is 100% more capable than I am riding it. Did about a hundred miles up in wolfpend Gap four-wheeler trails and terrible gravel roads dropped it once and of course the Southwest Moto tech aluminum paneers do not hold up to that... Anyway the bike is a beast, super fast, hangs with all my sport bike friends to about 140 tops out with stage 1 kit 150+. After the last 1100 mi trip a hammered the bike the entire time and there was no change slap on the way home so I didn't have to bust out the tool kit and adjust the chain like everyone said I was going to have to. I've adjusted to chain twice super easy with the cruise tools that I bought. Finally figured out what paint I'm going to do on mine so it looks close to good as that CVO. Your clit bait did get me because I was expecting to get on here and see somebody that test road one trying to make fun of it... Absolutely amazing motorcycle. I did upgrade the seat which I've had three so far and finally settled with the Wunderlist, I'm saving up the pennies for the mad stad windshield and Barkbuster handguards.

Glad to see you bought one! I love my PA Special. Fast as F!

I like the Pan Am but I will never pay more than $20,000 for a motorcycle.

I bought a 2023 Pan America (PAM) Special and love it.. I hate the side kick stand. It leans way to much and when you the hard bags on you have to step peg it to get your leg over and the stand gives in soft terrain. 😢

Black Dog is working on a solution!

I have a 21 PA. I have been lucky and my bike has been outstanding. This bike is amazing, but I feel it gets way too much hate on line. If you are a brand loyal person, this bike likely won’t turn your head away from euro and Japanese bikes. It also is not embraced enough by traditional HD guys. My dealership in Edmonton is outstanding. Bottom line, buy what you like. Do your research. Be honest with yourself on the type of riding you want to do, and just get out on two wheels. The CVO is amazing looking. You are 💯 correct, by the time you add all the accessories you will want, you basically have the CVO close to that price. You should look into some bark busters or tour tech hand guards. The bark busters are likely more solid, but the tour techs look better, however they have a lot of small pics to assemble. Great video. 👍

I guess that is true. I was never a big Harley guy, always in to Japanese and European bikes. The only other Harley I had on my wish list as a kid was a V-Rod. I still really like those bikes and I rented one for a week once. I was very impressed. The PA is not for everyone, but I think most people should keep an open mind and take one for a spin, as they should many other bikes to really see what fits them and meets their needs. 👍🏻

I’ve been eyeing the PA since it came out, but figured I should pay off my K1600 GTL before getting an adventure bike. Waiting on the GSA version of the GS1300, eyeing the Ducati Multistrada…and the PA. My 2003 HD Deuce was in the local shop for 10 weeks while they tried to source an original OEM wheel for it and I stopped by there every two weeks to check on their (lack) of progress…and I kept seeing that PA CVO in the showroom. Inching me closer. The Wife says it looks red to her…ha!

Awesome looking bike - I've never been a huge fan of how Harley's look, but the Pan America's are great! We should go hit some trails sometime!

I’d love to have one. I’d like the green “army” one if I could find one. I’m available to ride yours any time you need someone to take it out.

im going to get one for sure..

I'd like to know what TC said!

I mean if your heart is set on buying a Harley, why on earth would you buy something other than the Dirt Glide?

I owned a 21 and a 22 and loved them. Traded the 22 for a 23 Heritage 120th Anniversary, but having thoughts to trade it in on a 24 PAS CVO

I’d bought it if I could even get close to touching lol. I’m still 3 inches from the ground lol. But it sure is a beauty. They did a great job on it. I ended up buying the 24 CVO ST road glide instead

These things go for around $10k AUD now for a 21’ model here in Australia. I’d pay that for one but no way would I buy new.

Hahaha, I bought one too! Congrats. I already scarred my CVO but what the hell it’s for riding. It can be painted again I guess. Enjoy it borther

And don't forget the installation cost for all those accessories! Then it's a wash, but if you have a CVO, you're always one step ahead.

Those bags are a helluva lot more than $1300 at the dealer

Trick question, why would anyone buy new, sure that's obvious. But in the used market some of these Harleys have lost half there value and are reasonable. All of the big bore adventure bikes are big and heavy, have great road manners and can handle dirt roads. No big design flaws in the HD and it's a brand that people buy outside of price or technical comparison. Not great but it's a motorcycle and the brand really really really matters to a certain part of the market segment
