3000 miles already and I'm still so damn glad I bought one. Expensive but worth it

[@jaredslattery4584]

I just hit 5000 on mine on Saturday. Love it. Wrecked hard on Saturday to. I haven't touched any of my other bikes since I bought it.

[@kflorence7005]

Im sure they already told you, but in sand you need to get your speed up, sit farther back, keep your arms loose and let the front tire find its way (Literally been on a dirtbike since i could walk)

[@svendragon8139]

I wish I knew that before my first excursion in wet, deep sand. I saw advice telling me to sit forward...I ate it a dozen times before my friend told me that's not how to do it in sand or slick conditions. Keeping that speed up while the front warbles took some balls after spilling that much haha

[@markvega284]

Great Observation! Practice Practice Practice!

Full circle! You WILL own a pan am within 6 most. Spite goes back to harley.

[@frankdorogi3253]

I had the chance to test ride the PanAm in NH this summer. It's pretty awesome - no question. The bigger take-away for me is the importance of getting some good training on how to ride a big bike off-road. They're not 300 lb dirt bikes. Spike was fortunate to be trained by one of the best Co's in the business - Rawhyde. I took a 5-day training course with them earlier this year. Cracked a couple of ribs on day 2 in the sand pit (totally my fault) , but stuck it out. Got to know the medic really well (candyman). Back in the northeast this fall, I'm a way better rider on the trails with my big bike. There's a time and place for a trail bike and a different time and place for a big ADV bike. Kudos to Spite for sharing.

[@fastrandy]

I'm impressed. I've always liked Harley's but when I was little, they had serios quality issues. I own 2 now and love them. Would love to ad one of these to the mix!

[@rileyhughes5613]

Never been a huge Harley guy (or ADV guy, my brother's Versys-X 300 is the only "adv" I've ridden lmao) but this bike looks fantastic. Truly impressed, especially considering how Spite doesn't have decades off-road seat time (no offense intended, it just speaks to how easily the bike can be wrangled). The weight appears, at face value, to be the only real issue; but the fact that the massive GSA1250 dominates the class kind of negates that argument, if that can comfortably negotiate trails I can't imagine this won't be able to. 10/10 gonna recommend to my brother as his upgrade bike lmao

[@Shitnugget69]

Does the fact the GSA dominates the segment negate the weight argument... No, the versys x300 and even the lil 310gs are just as capable off-road as the GSA. Physics don't lie. A lighter average bike will always beat a heavier "more capable" bike off-road imo

[@richardfarabaugh7604]

For a second at the beginning of the video I thought he was referring to the Pan America being ridiculously fast until I heard that in-line four sound of the Turbo Charged BUSA!!!! Can’t wait for one million.

[@dukiemoto8676]

[@AllboroLCD]

Making sure the reviewers understand how the product works first. Super smart, well done HD well done.

[@altortugas5979]

The TLDR seems to be “Spite has never taken an advanced rider course.” Isn’t that contrary to everything you guys have said in noob rider vids? Facts, you guys need to give more love to DDFM.

[@tonym4401]

I like this channel but if you want a serious evaluation of a bike’s pros and cons...you need experienced high level riders. Good on Spite for putting this out there. It’s not his comfort zone. I don’t care what anyone says, these big bikes are not for the inexperienced. I hope that’s the takeaway for the noob audience. Now listen....about that TURBO BUSA 🤯

[@B.O.S.H_music]

[@BMWHP2]

learn slow, go fast. Great bike, would love to test one for a day. Big bikes CAN go off road. The difference is, when the going gets tough, the lighter bikes become the faster bikes and are more easy to handle. I learned on the smaller bikes and worked my way up over 35 years untill i owned a BMW HP2. The toughest and fastest offroad bike on the planet for years. 1200cc and only 185kg wet (407 lbs) and that was build in 2005 !!!. The Pan American did the same as BMW did with the GS bikes after the HP2. They made the GS more heavy and with that, more road oriented (which is ok, coarse there is more asphalt ). Everything over 440 lbs is more of a fight in the rough offroad parts.

[@davidc1961utube]

I have done two events with the Rawhyde team, and there is nothing like a great teacher, no matter what bike you are riding.

[@lloydhembury925]

Hey noobs! Just wanna let you know that after watching your video for over a year I finally went out and bought a bike! Then stacked it 2 days later. I now have to replace the pillion seat, left rider foot peg, gear selector, left indicator, left mirror and most fairings on the left side. I've also gotten a broken foot and road rash down my left side. Still hasn't put me off thought! Soon as my moon boot is off and I've repaired the damages I'll be right back on the road again! Thanks for all your videos they've helped a lot!

You don't know how to ride offroad, and you're calling it heavy at 5 hundred pounds, so you aren't used to riding anything but sport bikes.

Cant wait till i get my license next year and my first bike, oh and keep your head up!

Hey dude, when you fall off your bike: DON'T hold your hand like that - you will break your hand, wrist or elbow and dislocate your shoulder if you do. Even on sand. Watch some videos about how to fall off bikes. Stay safe! :)

[@Seektruth-59]

Actually wrong, even on a street bike at slow speed in a McDonalds parking lot you should be counter leaning your turns to maintain a good centre of gravity. Try it. Now at high speeds both bikes on pavement you lean inside. Off pavement you counter balance.

Agree, as was the BMW HP2 Enduro in 2005 with 407lbs wet. Anything more heavy is a bother offroad. Can be done, but less fun and harder to work.

I did an Adv Rally event near Anza Borrego that was partially sponsored by HD to promote this bike. I'll say this much, it's a nice departure from what HD has been doing. Also, the events were scored and the teams that were the most effective (read: highest scores) rode these big 800+ cc adventure bikes. My teammate and I with our sub 300cc dual sports had a tough time even being competitive. Would definitely like to put some miles on a bike like this to see the other end of the off-road spectrum.

[@marcready6369]

I am sure it is a lovely motorcycle, and while I am no pro, it is not an off-road anything. That perfectly graded, dry, bulldust-free dirt road is probably fine...as long it doesn't get any more gnarly and you are not carrying gear for more than an overnighter or have to carry fuel & water. Honestly, it is a touring bike with SOME dirt road capability. It is too big, too heavy, has too much power (did I really say that), & would be a very expensive liability beyond any more than the pristine dirt roads in this video. Sorry people, but don't let the HD marketing BS you. Once you load this sucker up, it will not be suitable for anything less than a perfect dirt road or poorly maintained asphalt. When you drop this, it could easily put you in hospital as it is too big and heavy.

[@stevejones3180]

watch the two girl on a bike videos that she did on the pan am in Wales, she'll prove you wrong mate

[@marcready6369]

@@stevejones3180 that is Wales - you are not doing long distance, high speed, dangerous often near invisible potholes full of bulldust (looks solid from a distance but is basically just dust hiding a hole). Capable though it is and I am sure HD did a great job, I will say it again, it is too damn big and thus dangerous if you are travelling any distance even if you are a pro rider or near that standard - the increased mass means increased force when it inevitably goes down (as you are off-road). A bike that size is designed for long distances and I would argue in the UK, if it is offroad, nothing more than an 600cc is needed unless you are spending most of your time on the pavement or very civilised dirt roads.

[@carver7689]

Glad to see you getting into ADV bikes, Spite. They're a lot of fun and they actually fit taller riders.
