Even if you are not a motorcyclist, you might be interested in the tight, unprotected curves of a mountain road, or maybe a serene ride on a sunny day in the Eastern plains. Perhaps you would like to know what life is like in Colorado or Wyoming, maybe South Dakota? My show is about riding in the open air to these places, visiting abandoned places like farmsteads and ghost towns along the way, with occasional restaurants thrown in for good measure.
Now if you happen to be a motorcycle enthusiast, then these rides (both machine and road), should be something you can relate to at full throttle!

What tires are those?
I love the looks of this bike. If I didn't own an FXLRS, I would be very tempted to buy one! 150hp! Come on! Harley really needs this bike to work for many reasons. Money is only part of it.
@@robbyclark6915 I'd like one myself, if they have the fuel pump issue sorted. I didn't want to be in the middle of Wyoming and have the pump die.
I bought an X300 brand new in 2018. I've thought about selling it every year since, but then I make the mistake of riding it... Btw if you'd like to take the rpm's down just a little at higher speeds check out the front sprocket mod.
Great lineup
Great video I just bought a 500 rebel 2024,keep safe and ride,peace
Very well crafted out and narrated . Thank you for sharing your thoughts and making us all emotional ;)
$40,000 equivalent in India whereas a R1300GS is $32,000 equivalent. The most expensive in the segment here. I hope they make a 975cc version of it
@@seauryakumar And you get a shaft drive with the BMW.
The whole dash layout and speakers look so cheap compared to my 2023 rg handle bars look like they came off kids bicycle to much wind noise
@@rickd4713 There was too much wind. That's no wind shield. The mic is IN my full face helmet.
Great video and amazing ride there. I have a 2015 Honda fury that I bought new in March of 2015 and absolutely love it. Bone stock still today but for adding a chrome radiator guard to replace the factory plastic one. Great bikes
Only got the first 1k on mine. Already had to replace a tire. Nails stink. Gonna run the hell out of it. Btw a steelership is in Sandusky OH.
Nice little bike and good video! I wouldn’t mind one of these at all for what I do.
Nice review, I'm especially curios about the windshield. I have a 2015 Fury I bought new and love it, still totally stock but for an upgraded radiator guard, however a windshield is coming very soon. In the worst possible fuel mileage conditions possible your bike should go 115 miles before the light comes on, I don't understand how your low that fast. I've got as much as 170 out of a tank of fuel on this bike before and as little as 121, riding circumstances makes a huge difference in fuel economy. With 2 cold start ups and a 4 mile trot to work with 7 red lights I always get 120 miles before the light comes on, and that's about as bad fuel mileage conditions as is possible though I often take a short ride after work which helps.
@@gatorunleashed275 The interstate runs 80mph + here, so fuel milage varies with speed.
@@ridingwithmarshall Yes riding circumstances as I mentioned above. Normally cold starts and short trips equal less fuel mileage and yes the faster you go the less you average, Still not sure how yours is so low, after consuming about 2.5 gallons the fuel light comes on, so evidently running at 80 you are only averaging 39 mpg which isn't on par with my fury or other fury owners mileage based on the forums. Regardless I'm trying to decide on a windshield, the Memphis Shades Speed Demon is looking better all the time. Gotta have a windshield for Interstate riding, I do atleast. Enjoy your bikes and stay safe!
Greta review. Thank you.
I brought a 2022 Pan Am Special, in March 2023, it gets ridden mostly every day. I did have the have the draining battery problem, I think it was more that he battery was sitting flat for 1 year and the battery was dodge. Recently I started to have a cut out problem, took the bike to the dealer and they found the that some of alternator magnets had come loose. Solution is to upgrade the alternator to the 2024 version, expensive but under warrantee.
@@hughmac7423 good information, thank you!
Good review bro. Only flaw and I concur is the lock tank. But hey I don’t expect perfection. That’s not a deal breaker IMO, but that’s me. I think every thing has flaws. Bought a 50k Charger and noticed the door jams were not all the way painted after getting home and doing a thorough cleaning🫤….Small negative but the rush of the 392, flawless! Imma gamble and say this bike will be fine and can’t wait to get mine soon! Alpine green w the chrome bling💪🏽 Thx homie. Very informative video. Be blessed👊🏽
How tall are you?
@@scottgriswold6911 5' 10"
You did the right thing Marshall, when you have had enough and get tired things don't go well. You gave it your all and responsibly decided to turn around. Lived to ride another day. Bike undamaged and your not hurt. Great success, good fun when its over. The sealed roads after that section must and felt like heaven afterwards.
Thank you. I was standing up for all of it. When I sit down, you know because the camera is looking through the shield. In hindsight, 2cd gear would have given me more power, but i was not prepared mentally for that ride, and had 0 practice.
@@ridingwithmarshall I just removed the standing up comment. You did amazing. What made it even harder was you were mentally prepared for the first weigh point and gave it your all to have it continue and just get progressively worse and worse was just too much. Definitely the right decision to turn around. It was a successful ride.
Nice video. Learned a few new things about new model. Thanks
That’s a serious road. Happy to see the goose handle it. Agreed, would have been easier on diff tires. The goose is a great machine, those who know -know. Thx for the video.
Do they still have the 2 piece pinned crank? According to sales when mine separayed at 74000 miles they were suprised and said usually 25 to 50 000
That, I don't know. Once upon a time, HD considered 50k "End of Life", so I went with Goldwings for big bikes instead.
Wow, that is pretty harrowing. Thanks for sharing!
Heavy breathing - sounds like you were running up the hill while pushing the motorcycle. Hope you know I'm just kidding. Nice adventure.
That didn't look like fun. You couldn't enjoy the views as you were scanning every inch of the road in front of you. Is there any bike that would cope with that road? The funky Ducati DesertX is pretty much an extreme off-road version of the popular Multistrada V2, with 250 mm ground clearance, with short gear ratios for easier off road riding.
This one could have done it if I softened the front suspension and dropped 10 psi from the tires. AND if the rider had more practice.
That’s a good looking color.
Well after that debate two days ago I know exactly who's face belongs in the nimrod cutout. Edit: also thanks for awesome video
That's impressive that the dealership let you take a brand new bike for a couple of hours...........not here, the dealership makes you ride with another bike (salesman) and it's about a 5 minute, pre-canned, ride.
The dealers around here know me, but in this case, it's a Demo bike provided for the purpose of test rides. Of the ADV bikes I've ridden, I like the Panamerica engine the best. The jury is still out though on the fuel pump issue. I don't live close enough to this dealer to risk killing a fuel pump and getting it towed to them. Heat is always an issue with Harleys. I need to ride it on a 90 degree day to see how bad it gets.
The video does not do those rocks justice. We did that road a couple weeks ago in my truck. I don't think you got far enough along, but there was a boat on a broken trailer in the trail. 😂 Not sure what that was about...
I should note, when we got turned around by a snow drift I was almost relieved... Until I remembered it was out and back. 😂
The action camera smooths footage and makes everything look smaller and farther away than it really is. Jeff looks like he's out of range, but he wasn't that far ahead most of the time. I'd be up for trying it again on a dual sport bike. Someone tried to get a BOAT to Jenny Lake or Yankee Doodle?? I'll bet they they are not allowed.
@@ridingwithmarshall yeah, I can't imagine that it would be allowed on those lakes. It was a little flat bottom boat (maybe 10ft)but the trailer was this little dainty thing I was surprised it made it that far up. 😂
Love your reviews Marshall. You always are entertaining, informative and never fail to give me a chuckle or two. Keep up the good work. 😊
THANK YOU! I question my own work a lot. I get facts wrong a lot. I don't have the creative ideas that I used to come up with on the fly, so some of the reviews come out dry. I can be really negative on some bikes (BMW 1300GS). I'm working on all of this.
@ridingwithmarshall That's the human side that makes you great. Always loved every video. I'm in Tucson and also love that Colorado green!
Nice video! I have the 2023 V85tt and love it, had a 2021 V85tt Travel but it had throttle issues that turned out to be a fuel pump sensor which took months for the technicians to figure out! Went to Colorado for the first time last summer, wow those Rockies are beautiful!
I owned a 2016 street rod. I’ve since sold it because it was just too uncomfortable driving much more than 50 miles! I too tried different exhaust on it, but found it to be way too loud and a really bad droning noise at highway speeds.😢 Like you mentioned, I lost much of my low end torque With different exhaust on it. With the stock exhaust system, the engine was so lean that driving around 40 mph in 5th gear, it bucked and surged terribly! Addressing my concerns with the dealer, they told me to run the bike in second and third gears all the time at those speeds. I found their suggestion to be unworkable. It was revving so high at these lower speeds It just took away all the fun of cruising. so after riding for a long season in Minnesota, March through mid November I parted ways with the VRod. The look was killer! But as you mentioned the riding 14:01 position and drivability issues, I traded it for a year, newer Dyna. Oh how I wished I could have changed things around and kept the VRod, I just couldn’t do it. Watching your video today brought back a lot of great memories of my bike, but I still think I did the right thing by choosing a different model within the Harley Davidson lineup I really liked your video and will continue to watch you! 👍
The original V-Rod street rod was made in 2006 and 2007 what they call the street rod now has nothing to do with v rods
Harley’s with the push button gas caps aren’t lockable either. And I just finished a 125 mile ride (in the rain) a few minutes ago. 😂🤣
Going on 4 years, no issues. Great fun commuter bike
Lovely story
It’s an ok looking bike. Not a huge fan of the faring look from the driver perspective.
Excellent, thank you.
Nice video and it looks that you are a very careful driver.
That's a Gen-2 Adventure model. It came with the engine crash bars, plastic engine cowling, a full complement of quick release aluminum luggage - ie panniers and top case, plastic handguards {though on this particular bike these have been replaced with aftermarket aluminum reinforced ones), and a nicer windshield {although this has also been replaced with an aftermarket windshield and adjustable mount). I have a 2013 Adventure model that might be my favorite bike in 52 years as an avid motorcyclist, especially considering the tiny price per mile it has cost me to own so far. This particular bike has the cast wheels, though a little later, maybe even this same model year but certainly by 2016, you could opt for the XT model with tubeless spoked wheels. The spoked wheels were supposed to be a dirt upgrade, but I personally prefer the cast ones, as I have never seen one get damaged if ridden sensibly. Besides, I contend that the DL650 shouldn't be your first bike of choice if spirited dirt duty is a top priority. Therefore, the spokes are just an unnecessary maintenance woe in my opinion ...but that's just me. Thanks for the great review. I still love mine and always enjoy a DL650 vid. 👍
I wish we had roads like these in India. I really want to buy Meteor 650 but cant ride it in cities here 😢
P.s. the gray black looks better with decals off,
I live in the Endless Mountain range, and my versys 300 is my mountain goat, compared to my trail bike-xt 225 this is a beast, has similar power band as my drz400se i got rid of due to seat and height,,,,,
Drill holes 🕳️ for baffle holes 🕳️ to be slightly larger. Both baffle holes 🕳️ in each baffle or one in each?
I think they're is only one hole predrilled in each muffler. Just make it bigger ;) 😉 It's like they knew we would do that, so they showed us where.
Each of mine has 2 small holes 🕳️. Each exhaust I will make 1 of the 2 holes 🕳️ bigger with the 1/4 drill bit and see how that sounds. Thank you 🙏 for the great videos!!! This fall I want to take my Fury to Mount Rushmore, I never been there before.
I actually like the CSX which is a more of a touring version of the 1300 sport tour bike but it sets a lot lower
Heat would be the worst issues. Not on a 65 degree day . Ride it on a 85 + degree day. Both of the bikes i have ,no heat problems when its 65 ,85+ is when the heat really shows up. Im sure the Pan America is no different.
Great point about upfront pricing..............High Desert HD in Meridian, Idaho is like that, NO PRICE TAGS.............and then they charge enormous setup fees; very sleazy.
Good video, the frunk is 23 litres
I've got a 2021 with a bit over 12,000 miles on it. The best mod that I've done is the Mistral "v-twin boost" . It tricks the 0xygen sensors allowing the engine to run richer. This results in more power and less heat.
Great bike owned 2009. Not great for off road or road trip. It’s just a good all around bike. Road from Iowa to Yellowstone with no mechanical issues BUT cross winds? NIGHTMARE!
Crosswinds were a nightmare on my Honda NC700X also. Basically same class.
@@ridingwithmarshall Crosswinds can be a nightmare on most any motorcycle. It's a challenge we serious motorcyclists just learn to live with.
@@ralphcantrell3214 sorry but my 1999 Honda Valkrie and my Now BMW R18B are barely effected a lot less fighting the wind
@@galatians22122 Those aren’t bikes. They’re “land yachts”. 😊
@@ralphcantrell3214 and you’ve never ridden one long distance
Love the new road glide. I did not like the older shark nose fairing and wanted a liquid cooled engine along with increase power and tech. Well, this checked all the boxes. The new fairing is much better looking, with less buffeting I am a big fan. Problem is I still have buffeting so the first mod I did was add a bigger windshield from klockworks.
Man, why you no test the Roadmaster?
Hey Ken they look good I sold my bike and got a new to me bike soft tall
