I’ve never owned a Harley, but I’ve ridden and reviewed many over the years, and one thing I do admire about modern Harleys cruisers is the way the company has hidden a lot of modern tech (ABS, the new RDRS safety suite, etc.) to preserve the retro look and feel of their bikes. But the Pan America is loadedwith tech goodness and it’s fully out in t...
The Pan America Special uses Showa “semi-active suspension” and by that I mean the suspension systems always sets sag at 30 percent no matter the load. Just you going for a joyride sans accoutrements? 30 percent sag. You, the better half and three full pannies topped with camping gear? 30 percent sag. Harley also made it very clear that no matter h...
The nose of the Pan America has come in for some criticism and I’d have to say I was critical as well at first, but while the style is a bit bulbous, it’s also a sly nod to some classic Harley form factors and looks better in person than it does in photos. Harley’s Senior Manager of Marketing, Paul James, an experienced ADV rider himself, told me t...
Ride modes are central to any modern motorcycle as high tech as the Pan America, and the bike’s brain offers Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road, Off-Road Plus, Custom Off-Road Plus and a pair of user-defined custom modes.

Several windscreen sizes are available, thankfully, from shorter-than-stock to taller, more road-touring opt...
The Pan America is available in two trims, the $17,319 base “1250” model in basic black (and really, that’s one of the most attractive color options) with cast aluminum wheels and the base feature set, and the “Special” with heated grips, the adaptive headlight, center stand, aluminum skid plate, TPMS, and a long list of other upgrades, which rings...
I talked with marketing guy and long-time Harley-Davidson exec Paul James at length about how the bike came into being, and he told me he was there from the start years ago when Harley went looking to expand their offerings outside the cruiser and touring genres. I asked who Harley-Davidson thought was going to buy the Pan America, and his answer w...
The Pan America is a great new bike and a potent new vehicle for the future of Harley-Davidson. James admitted to me that The Motor Company is working very hard to expand their market appeal beyond the biker image baggage that can bog them down to some extent, and bikes like the LiveWire, the Pan America and the Serial 1 electric bicycles (which, i...
