the marketing for off-road capability means that it's built to handle dirt and gravel roads as needed. wont destroy you over a pothole or rock

[@Velma-And-Scooby]

I got a Honda rebel 300 recently just because the gas prices are so high and going to get higher. I commute somewhat of a long distance so in the good weather I wanted to save on gas. Never been into motorcycles before and know hardly anything about them. Got my endorsement 2 days ago. Been seeing a lot more motorcycles on the road. I think a lot of people have the same idea as me. You probably will have significantly more enthusiasts looking at motorcycle channels in the near future.

[@ronaldstephens1792]

Agreed! Thanks to the current administration 😏🤭🤭🤭🙄

[@tomgilson9180]

Did something similar, bought a new Honda 500F to commute to work. I ride it everyday I can, and it allows me to keep my car in the garage. It also makes the 20 mile ride into work a lot of fun.

Which is really cool cuz the big Beemer has been highly praised.

[@BlastMaster3000]

Yam hit the nail on the head when he said that these bikes like the PanAm are not really designed with the intention of doing something like single track. Not to say they can't do it, they absolutely can but it's not ideal. But, you need a certain skill set to do it and do it well.

[@Therealrecoveringnarcissist]

It's a decent sport touring bike. I owned the 2021 for 8 months with 6 of them being pushed off from one dealer to the next who allegedly had a "PA specialist" spoiler alert no one has a PA specialist. I waited 6 months for the rh control switch and was told they wouldn't cover it under warranty because it happened off road(but wait you marketed it for off road). I sold that $23,500 albatross in the dirt. On road it does well and is a sporting bike but off road it's a fire road conquerer at best....also HD treats PA owners like redheaded step children. Don't look for that Harley customer care dealer network awesomeness that you get if you buy a road glide.

[@jasons4950]

why would they cover it just because it's made for offroad use. what EXACTLY happened?

[@watkinson2241]

Depends on the dealer, Javelina here in San Antonio area has three guys that work on these and all so far are very knowledgeable, some other dealers not so much. Certainly dealer dependent at this stage but I suspect it will get better,

[@whimsicalstray]

Always good to see a little more critical of a review. Spite is enamored with it, which is great, but it isn't very conducive to an objective review. Edit: It's why the whole yam team is well rounded. You all fanboy over different things.

[@gregates4351]

I think once they are set up and tuned specifically to what the rider wants the Pan Am's are going to be awesome bikes

[@scottstewart5784]

You nailed the big adv purpose - 90/10, eats miles in comfort. Maybe even 95/5, and the 5 is just dirt roads. I would add that they are substitutes for sports bikes/sportscruisers/liter nakeds for those of us who want a comfortable riding position and wind protection while we hoon through life. Source: me and my Tiger 1200.

[@Gismo3333]

5-10% dirt tire is just road tires. And it is all about how good the rider is, not so much how good the bike is to go on a gravel road. I drive my 500cc scooter (about 600 pounds) on dirt/gravel roads on street scooter tires. Not any problems with that, as long as I don't do anything stupid. Stop blaming the bike, and train your self to be a better rider instead. Slow speed training is the clue to be better… Training every 1-3 days 5min do much more then 2-5 hours once a month. It is more that you blame the tires and the bike, for your own lack of skill. And also lots of training on hard breaking, on the strait, before, after and in corners. That can really save your life. But if you did not know. If you don't train on it, you are going to forget about it more and more.

[@r33f505]

@@Gismo3333 thanks for the conmment to laugh about on discord!

[@victoriazero8869]

Here in Asia we love our tiny-ass small displacement ADV because it's more 60/20/20, as in 60% asphalt, 20% potholes and 20% gravel. Heavy off road, probably not as good as true Dual Sports, but better than anything else.

[@scottstewart5784]

@@Gismo3333 You are correct - a good rider can drive any motorcycle on regular dirt and gravel roads, with care. My 1200 XCa (Desert Edition) has spoke wheels, and big suspension travel and ground clearance. I chose it over the road biased option because I do a little more than gravel and dirt roads. Just a little though, and I probably could have gotten by, but when I test rode it, it felt great on the street too (17/19 tires). I can stick with stock tires (90/10), I can go 100% grip/street, or I can go more knobby. If you're saying us big ADV riders are fooling ourselves thinking we need or will use the off-raid chops of a big adv bike - I won't argue with you. Lot of posers out there, I'm half a poser myself. But the bottom line is I wanted: standard posture (no cruisers, no crotch rocketry), wind protection, all the gadgets/modes, POWER/speed, 2up, and provisions for soft bags or hard panniers. Also I'm 6'3" 190 lbs. It fits me and fits my requirements, perfectly. If I had a naked, I'd add a tail rack and a full windscreen (as I did to my first bike, a 1981 Honda CB650).

[@michaelrubinson9900]

It’s very good looking in-person 👌 Excited for the vid papa yam

[@EvanRobertsonHD1]

Yam, you HAVE to set up a custom ride mode, sir. I rode the first 1000 miles on mine in Road and Sport modes to get a feel for it. But once I set up a custom ride mode with stiff suspension, sport ABS and traction settings, "all the beans" fuel map and throttle response, now it's a completely different bike. I feel like it has much more raw power in my custom ride mode, and fyi the throttle is insanely twitchy in this mode. Coming from Sportsters and Buells, being a goshdarned hooligan rider, this is an awesome bike; set up the custom mode and go back out! I've been making sure to tell all my customers to do it too.

[@elijahgutierrez5739]

Same experience here....thought sport mode was fun.....custom unlocked makes it just nasty

[@dylkelley]

Light, not too heavy, no extra head inertia. and easy to work on as no valves, cam chains etc. I love the smell and on/off power of 2 strokes. Clutch is like a second throttle. Little easier than I touch ground with compact motor.

I ran a stock Pan Am on the dyno. I only got sport mode numbers though. Rated at 150 HP-94 TQ. 131 HP/81 TQ SAE It starts waking up around 6k RPM. I get questions about the Sportster S too. Also rated at 94 TQ but only 121 HP. But the SS had the drop on the Pan Am all the way until after 6k and the Pan Am lit off. Sportster S dyno numbers..... 73HP and (almost) 67 TQ in Rain Mode 109HP and 81TQ in Road Mode 111HP and 84TQ in Sport Mode

[@corychartier7961]

When I rode the HD PA I didn't not have any problems the way it shifted but I put a lot of miles on old BMW airheads. The issue I noticed was engine heat. But my 22 AT DCT ADVENTURE ES has a fair amount of engine heat when the Temps are above 85 deg. I often wonder the % of rider's of big ADV bikes really ride anymore than gravel roads. And personally I can't see the need for more than 100 hp of my AT. Not being a cruiser person I was really impressed the first time I rode the PA . But I would never buy a first year bike till the bugs have been worked out.

The MT-07 is more modern, better screen, and has 45 liter top box as factory configuration (good for two helmets, food and drink from the grocery store, or with inner travel bag good for travel).

And if you like very low budget and retro style : Royal Enfield bikes : Interceptor 650 (more upright seating) , 650 GT (café racer), new Scram 411 (nice colors) Meteor 350 they are all 5 to 7k bikes new and some have navigation via cell phone at that low price tag.

[@basedury]

i think these look amazing but i kind of expected them to retain a bit of that harley sound, considering that’s one of the only good things about all the other harley models

[@theKongW]

Is it as good as your Husky off road? Of course not, but heavy adv bikes are fun to ride off road. It's more of a challenge to work a heavy pig through some gnarly stuff. You're mind is opening slowly.

[@EbonyPope]

Can anybody tell me where this winning noise in motorcycle engines comes from?

[@MasterBlasta]

Keeps the screen on dark mode and complaints it’s not visible enought during sunny day time 🤣

[@natanpierce495]

My XR-1200 is definitely not a "cruise down the highway" kind of bike, but it isn't a Ducati either.

[@pkdude5334]

wow, a Harley that actually interests me? I thought I'd never see the day.

[@daltonhess7972]

Always funny thst Harley can make everything good but a cruiser. Every time they branch to something new that isn’t just generic cruiser or old fashioned road hog, they can make pretty damn good bikes.

If you're into gadgets, 150 HP engines, auto suspension, etc. then an adventure bike is not a good choice. I have a 22 cb500x, with it's measly 47 HP engine, averages 65 mph, 300 mile range and it came with only one option, ABS. Had to install a 12 socket with wiring $20 kit from Honda in addition to engine guards, pennier racks, luggage racks and wet, it still weighs 120 pounds less the Pan America wet.

[@rchrome75]

The Pan America is an excellent motorcycle. Ride one and choose for yourself.

[@robertnervoso771]

In Brazil this moto is the same price as a house... But even a SUV is now a price of a house....

[@MrRourk]

This is just a Harley Channel now Lolz Missing Feature from all Adventure Bikes - Hot Sandwich Plate, microwave, I would say fridge. However I suspect some of them do have a fridge.

Stopped by the Harley dealer in Montgomery, Al Thursday. They are full up with Harleys. They wheel maybe 40+ bikes outside & off the showroom floor every day to make room and the guy said they have about 1/3 as many out back. There was only one Pan-Am. It looked just as big and heavy as anything else in there. The Pan-Am needs to be less than 500 lbs. I think there is a serious problem with Harley Davidson's marketing/product line. I stopped by Suzuki the dealer and said I was only window shopping because I have 3 bikes and the manager joked that they only had about 3 bikes.

[@Gismo3333]

You do know that Suzuki don't make their bikes in the US? Or is it that you have not realized, that most trading in the world is shut down, because of to many idiots ruling the world to day. Like your president… And the HOW, EU… They are working their hardest to destroy the world to normal people.

[@elijahgutierrez5739]

How much do you think a BMW GS weighs? Or KTM 1290.....all big ADV bikes are 550-580lbs range

[@-Jason-L]

Suzuki's are all on cargo ships sitting off the coast of California lol. This is a big ADV, going squarely after the big BMW GS, which weighs even more with less HP.

[@-Jason-L]

Most HD dealers are very low in new inventory, and are stocked full of used HDs.

[@briansetiady]

Few months ago i read somewhere that HD planned to release the 975's version

[@Below-Average_Joe]

If my health is good, I plan on hitting some fire roads on a Pan America when I retire.
