Couple things that get asked a lot that I neglected to cover in the Video: 1. It's a Chain Final Drive. Not a belt like all the other H-Ds. Chain is much more suited for off-road application when dirt and mud gets on it. 2. It does not have a quick shifter like some of the other competitors have. This allows you to shift the bike quickly without use of the clutch. 3. The front wheel is a 19 inch wheel with a 17 inch in the rear. Comment below if I need to add anything to this list.

[@rgh622]

4. Clutch is cable not hydraulic like the competitors.

[@simonhickey8952]

This bike has caused more stir here in the UK than any bike I can remember doing for years. H-D are reasonably well served by their dealer network here (but still nothing like in the U.S.) which will definitely help sales. This has been what has hampered Indian here, however good or bad their bikes are. (And some of them are very good). H-D has some great features such as the suspension lowering at a stop which is an industry game changer imo. The engine looks a peach and will hopefully serve them well in the future especially with a bigger displacement for the touring and cruiser markets. Good luck to H-D, they deserve to do well with the PA, after all the pain they have been through lately, whether they have brought some of it on themselves or not.

[@MattLaidlaw]

I appreciate the perspective of someone in the UK. Thank you for the comment! Good info.

[@ronecc2]

Not sure about 'well served' in the UK. Dealers are closing all over the place. Preston HD closed this year, so now it is a trail to get to Leeds or Manchester. A horrible trip through city centres, no fun for a country boy.

[@michaelwhite5834]

Absolute winner. No question this will be a massive success for HD. I’m only 5’8” so I want to sit on it to see which one to get.

[@blakechinn5792]

I sat on one. You will fit just fine. i am 6'2 with a 33 -34 inseam. I have ridden all the other ADV bikes. This is a total winner for Harley if it doesn't somehow blowup on them. The bike is able to shrink down to the point without affecting the suspension while riding about 3-4 inches so, if your a 29-30 inseam you should fit fine. I know a girl that rides a bmw gs1200 and she is 5'3... it's more about technique.

I remember in the summer of 1969 I test road a 125 cc two stroke HD trail bike. Nothing like that in their inventory today. Nice to see the Pan Am adventure bike introduced into HD's line-up. Adventure bike or the ADV look is in.

Thanks for the breakdown. Picked up my S yesterday.

[@kohlriddell4423]

Can’t wait to see your adventure videos with your Pan America. The multi day camping trips are a must!

[@mathiashammar1]

Thanks for sharing the details. Alot of details! Its interesting to see what type of technology Harley have selected for offroad use.

[@erikjensen6503]

I so want the special! Great video! Thanks for the inside look!

[@cat1racer]

This was an awesome review ! So thorough ! Thanks

[@rebelsroguesco]

I am so excited for this motorcycle. When it was first announced, I really wasn't sold on the look, but it has grown on me since then. I'll be buying a Special as soon as it hits the dealership floor. Great video, Matt!

[@nungu60a]

I'm waiting for this as my first HD. Love the specs. Don't want to be disappointed.

[@mrvoyagerm]

So much for Harley building low tech, low powered bikes from the past. What will the haters complain about now? Great job Matt. Best review anywhere. Thanks so much for doing this.

[@Moto_Steve_Adventures]

Absolutely love this bike and can’t wait to throw a leg over one! Thanks for the detailed review.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Same! I can’t wait. Thanks for checking out the video man.

[@dariocuter5692]

To make it quick, Matt you are awesome!

[@townsendmedia]

[@tccalvo]

[@ernestomedrano7169]

thank you for the videos Matt! super helpful and definitely am very interested in one of these.

[@keystonedaytrip238]

I’m so excited about this bike ! Though it’s beyond my riding level & comfort , I’m still eager to see this at the local dealership . I love seeing them branching out in a different direction , far from what most people are used to .

[@hogtirement5050]

Very informative and interesting video, great job Matt!!!

[@chrisbehan4067]

Agree 100% on styling. Looking forward to your personal experiences on your new Pan American. Thanks Matt.

[@Broncoride]

Solid job Matt on this video. Well done.

[@suds782]

My most anticipated video your review of this bike !!

[@richardmurray740]

EXCELLENT Video Matt! I agree, HD hit a grand slam with the Pan Am. The Special is top of my list for new bike purchase this year!

[@leonardbartley5670]

Great informative video as usual Matt

[@goochma]

Great video Matt. Even a grumpy old schooler like myself can appreciate a good thing when I see it. Harley better stock up on the midnight oil because they'll be working around the clock filling orders for this one.

[@jbluet]

Best and most informative PanAm review yet. Great job again Matt!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you!

[@thehdguy378]

Very well done. Lots of great information!

[@merseymoto9388]

Brilliant in depth video, excellent product knowledge too. I'm a BMW GS1200 Adventure rider, and I love everything about my bike. I have to say though, the Pan America looks amazing. I hope it sells well, and I'll definitely be booking a test ride when I am allowed. 👍

[@user-zu1tv4sk1m]

Matt, great presentation and with very informative material. Thanks.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@brokenclock4369]

[@butchpolen]

Wow. U did an excellent job explaining this bike. Your awesome matt!!!!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks man! Thanks for watching

[@Acmegamer]

In depth review of what's known, thank you Matt. Damn nice looking adventure bike and a lot of pleasant surprises. Also, strongly agree on the look of the bike. Really love the way the Pan America looks.

[@SBha30]

I love this bike already! Awesome video, watched every second of it. I grew up riding motocross and enduros. Have a KTM adventure along with my Sport Glide, so this is a chance to keep my bikes all in the Harley Davidson family. I love my Harley Davidson dealer too.

[@martinsmith9054]

Thank you Matt, an excellent description of the engine.
