Thank you for for checking out the new video! If you own an adventure bike, let me know what you have!!
Based on your other responses, your not going to like this... But this is Click Bait, advertising for bag. You didn't like bike until you got bags is Click Bait.
Review starts at 4:90.
You hated it because it was a new model with no accessories available, then you didn't ride it. New models never have stuff available. Doesn't sound like you gave it a fair shake. Nice advertisement tho!
Super tenere 1200, reliability, love the no maintenance drive shafts , comfortable all day long, you can drop it and it never break , after tune the twin come alive and bark and pull with attitude . Less expensive big adventure , and lot off after market accessories.
My dealership said they can't keep them on the floor...
I have a 22 special and its the biggest piece of junk i have ever rode. Plagued with electrical issues. Wont crank in the cold. Randomly shut down on me twice while riding. Limp mode errors every week. Coolant hose busted because it was too close to the exhaust from factory. Crunchy shifter. Goes into neutral a lot more often than another HD. You can upshift hard from 1st gear and it will go into neutral. Fried two BCMs. Fob goes through batteries really fast. Replaced battery in fob twice in 1 year. Fob doesnt unlock bike unless you wiggle it on the seat. Overall a crap experience.
No space to carry gear? What? Get a Rav4...
2016 Super Tenere. Had a 2009 R1200GS that taught me how unreliable BMW’s can be. The Super Tenere does everything I want it to do, is the most reliable of the ADV’s and service is simple
I think it took too long to get to the point of the video
Skip to 5 minutes. Then he a actually starts talking about the bike. Spoiler alert, it’s luggage advertisement
Thanks for the tip on Loneride, can you provide a list of what works with you PanAm? Thier site is not updated with that info yet and my bike is on order right now so i am not locked into a brand yet.
Own a 17 GSA. Bought it used. It is a great bike and it came with all the hard panniers, etc! Prefer the shaft final drive to a chain. HOG did screwup by not having the accessories ready to go with the launch. Glad you are enjoying your bike now.
I have the LoneRider semi rigid panniers on my Pan Am. Love them. Waiting on delivery of my LoneRider adjustable foot pegs for it.
I have the PAS, didn't go for the HD hard bags for 2 reasons: primarily, you need a key every time you want to open and close the panniers (just a pain!) and because there are several better after market options (in my opinion) whereby the right side pannier is shaped wider at the top for more storage and a more pleasing look. I went with the Hepco-Becker hard paniers (not inexpensive) but man they are of the highest German quality and work brilliantly. Also, Givi and Shad have vairous design choices as well and carry very good reviews - if you don't want to pay the Harley tax yet still have high quality and functional stuff.
I have a 2021 PAS in orange. I love it when it works. But I've had tons of problems with it. Motorcycle not starting, motorcycle leaving me stranded and having to get towed. The dealership has replaced the battery twice in 6 months. I recently just did my 5k service and they had to replace the starter and clutch, fuel tank sensor, and the header pipe/heat shield because the one that was from the factory just broke off while I was on the highway one day.
So glad my friend sent me this link.
Love the adventure bike category! Great video, can't wait to see more. I wonder what the coming iterations of the Harley Pan-America is going to look like. They certainly made a splash in the ADV world, but seems like they need to get their parts and accessory game dialed in before that bike can truly grow.
I have a 2022 Pan America Special and love it! I love it every time I take it out for a ride or even when it's just sitting in my garage. I have the H-D Sport luggage, but I plan on picking a set of the Mosko Moto bags for more durability and waterproofing.
Hey Steve, you think Harley will keep making the Pan America for the duration, like a long time? Or are they gonna lose interest in a few years?
