      @@timmo3351 Pretty much; yes. It's actually difficult to find anything significantly negative given that it's a brand spanking new model.I guess the only irritation is the infotainment system; Boom Box was a little dated, but it had everything you needed and more recently Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (if memory serves me correct). We're both added, Apple and Android support ensures that there would only be a handful of ppl that might complain :-) I have both on my Jeep, so no matter if my wife or I am driving, we both have complete connectivity. I'm sure H-D have some master plan around their approach. I've worked out how to get full connectivity between my phone, headset and the handlebar controls, but I know it's going to be a big gripe from many ppl. Apart from that, it's an amazing machine :-)

    The starter issue is related to when a cylinder is stopped right before top dead center. There is too much compression for the starter to turn the motor over in that particular situation. The starter therefore cuts out and once engaged again it will power the piston past that spot and start up.

    • @maxlane9210
      @maxlane9210 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That kind of makes sense, but why couldn't the starter just do that in the first place?

    • @scattass
      @scattass 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@maxlane9210 because of the torque curve of electric motors and the way they engage. it stalls out disengages then because electric motors have a lot of torque at low rpms it is able to overcome the compression of the pistons. they will likely put a more powerful starter and bigger battery if it really bothers people or isnt long lasting because of size.

    I traded in my Buell Ulysses for my new Pan America, the Ulysses absolutely had a HD motor in it. It was also a brilliant road bike and I could cover 800 miles in day on it easily, not so good off road.
    I just did a 500 mile day in massive rain storms on my Pan Am, at one point it was raining so hard I was the only thing still rolling on the highway. Even the truckers had pulled off. I can't comment on its off road ability as that isn't what I bought it for. So far I love it, we'll see how it holds up.

    Hi Chris great video and review. You certainly gave it some stick off road. Something I am hardly likely to do at 70 years of age. Hope to collect mine next week having owned a couple of GS's previously. Even the Special comes out a fair bit cheaper than a 1250 GS which swayed me towards buying it. Just returned from Sykes our local dealer and had a great craic with Harley owners saying its not a real Harley. Something I remember being said to me by Pre Unit construction Triumph owners when I brought my 1969 Bonnie. What I should add its also my ticket to Harley meet ups in the UK & Europe. There is no other marque of bike you can say that about. Stay safe Ted

    Great review and I suspect 80% of those of us who already own a Pan America would 100% agree with pretty much everything you said. There's absolutely no question; H-D has done an amazing job at the first pass for this brand new model. Let's hope they listen to the customers and continue to make the Pan Am better while also sorting the bugs out, I can't wait to see where H-D goes especially as long as they stay competitive with pricing and specifications. Although my last two rides have been HOGs, coming from the UK I didn't grow up with them but the Pan Am has made me a true beliver.

    Great review great videography. Great job HD! Perfect street off-road balance for my riding. Love the KTM but going to buy the Harley.
    36” inseam I don’t mind the bike height so I will take the lighter basic model plus get the light weight exhaust to trim fat. Shorten the Db reducer for a better sound plus extreme air breather then tune it.
    At 56 in great shape I still don’t hit the dirt jumps climbs trails as hard and aggressively as I did in my 20s. Still a speed freak just a bit tamer. I pin everything I ride from time to time and appreciate a good motor / suspension. I have a super local dealership. And as I adventure travel with it Harley has dealerships all over. This bike is going to be great fun.

    Great review of the Harley. Reaaaaaly impressed with the overall package for a first effort.
    It doesn't do much good in Europe, but in North America, the act of touring on a Harley is the insane dealer network. You can be hundreds of miles from a spare part for any other brand but you're rarely far from a harley shop and they take care of people who are traveling and have issues.
    I dont love their bikes but the reasonable price and mid-pack results of the Pan America make it a really compelling package for us in the U.S.

    Excellent review of the Pan America and the 1290SAR…I may have some qualifications to comment in that I own a 2019 1290 SAR and a 2009 Buell Ulysses with tall suspension and yes the Buell has a HD Sportster Engine with many improvements. I ride a mix of dirt and asphalt always on these bikes and often two up. They are of course worlds apart but I always enjoy riding the Uly. I’m looking forward to throwing a leg over the Pan America!

    This was great!! I'd never really given up on Harley's. They are still an American treasure, one I'd like to own one day. But I've had to put it on the back burner for now over affordability and cost of maintenance issues. Maybe this model isn't too much different then the others but from what I'd witnessed in this video, it seems promising for me in the not too distant future.

    My 2006 Buell Ulysses has a HD 1200 sportster engine in it. I found out the hard way it’s not great for off road with that small front wheel. Nothing more than a gravel road on it now. It’s great for the long hauls though. So glad I got the luggage bags as an option.

    If you don't break it, are you REALLY even testing it? I thought this would be another Harley sponsored promotional video disguised as a "review". Refreshingly, this was, hands down, the best test and review that I've seen of this bike yet. Well done! Astounding riding skills too! Thanks for truly testing this bike and giving a very thorough review without Harleys thumb on the scale!

    So did you like the Super Adventure S more or the Pan America? Im looking for what realy works out to a sport adventure bike for mostly 2 up street but I know there is no chance I will not be doing any off road but I do have an EXC for single track..

    Your absolutely correct about low battery voltage causing problems. Tighten terminals and tend battery. Tech tip.

    I haven't ridden a PA on dirt, but I got to take one thru the twisties. I want a Pan America. I did feel heat on my right leg, nothing uncomfortable, but that doesn't keep me from wanting one.

    I love the review. Small detail: when Chris talks about the 1250 GS it is footage of him riding an 850 GSA. No complaints here. As a 850 GSA owner I love seeing it in action!

    • @BikeWorldTVshow
      @BikeWorldTVshow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We know Dave, only GS footage we had without causing ourselves rights issues. Also, a bit of an internal joke about them looking the same. Not having a stab at the 850 though 😜

    Great review, have a PA in my garage next to my 950 Adventure S. I bought the PA for just the reasons you liked it. It is great on road and can do off road. Oh...and, if you'd seen the single track and climbs I did on my Ulysses, you'd have to adjust that part. Put a 180 width TKC on the Uly and its a beast. I put a 2nd layer of steel on the muffler for a skid plate and amazed many a Triumph or KTM rider.
