I brought the Panam because I thought it looked fantastic, was a V twin, 150hp, and all roads capable. I'm 6ft, 61yo, been riding 40+ years, did vintage motocross and enduro in the 1990's, and classic track racing in the 2000's. I have taken my Panam on trails, it is too heavy for that riding, wears you out. It is great for dirt and rough roads. Now I am a HD rider, have a 1988 Lowrider, hotted up and with a sidecar. I had a 1980's sports bike background, grew up in the Grampians, Victoria Australia. I did raise the ride height of the Lowrider and turn it into a more European style handling sports bike, then fitting the sidecar and if is an amazing ride with the stiff suspension and hotted up motor.
@@hughmac7423 That’s what I like about the Harley motorcycle’s, lots of models to choose from & lots of mods you can do to each model. Looks like you have had a lot of experience over the years with motorcycles. Ride safe out there 🍻
I think having both is essential, because they are like chalk and neo-Harley cheese. Harley literally muscled in on the 'adventure bike' market, and the PA might not make every Harley die hard happy. Personally, i could not live with the plastic engine covers, which are for car owners.

@@michaelfraser5723 I agree, having both would be the perfect setup 👍
