      Maybe do a Streetfighter or a Scramber and of course a line of small dirt friendly bikes. The fact they started being the every man bike says they "could", but they are so pigen-holded at this point it would have to be very good products at good prices.

    In my garage is a 2007 Ultra Classic Olive Pearl & next to it a 2018 114cc Cholo style Red Denim Oxide Heritage. A Pan America would round out my corral.
    ( I ride a 250cc dual purpose off road regularly & in the winter for now )
    Thank you Harley Davidson. The tribute to the heritage of our company in this video is soul moving. I called Sven, a salesman at my HD dealer, Schaeffer's in Orwigsburg, Pa. they will have the Pan America in May.

      @Ritalie 3 роки тому

      I personally love the huge headlight. It's really ugly, but the headlight's function is way more important than the look. Single round headlights look nice, but are absolutely useless for deer and animals at night. The big wide rectangle headlight should have a very wide beam, which gives you the ability to see in your periphery, which is critical at high speeds at night. In America there are deer lurking in every square foot of the woods, ready to leap to their death violently.

Each competitor left me unsatisfied in one way shape or form... Then I test rode the Pan Am special last and I gotta say... H-D hit the mark on everything for me. This bike is everything that I hoped for and then some!!! Handles like a dream... State of the art cutting edge tech as well...

      I honestly think the only reason he let it continue is because they were too deep into the project cost wise to stop. He also allowed the sport bike thing they were showing but cancelled the one bike that they really should be making which is the Bronx (naked street fighter). I was disappointed that the board of directors and new CEO stopped the original plan of introducing all those models for the various segments. They didn't even give it a chance. They came out with the electric bike which was never going to sell at $30k and then fired the CEO and here we are. The thing is, the old CEO will end up being the one who saved Harley. The Pan America exists because of him.

      @@suburbanhobbyist2752 Yes, the Bronx was enticing. Put the 1250 in it and loose the HD visual weight (and real weight) and it could have been a contender. Guess I'll just keep riding my Thurxton R and dream of the someday when HD doesn't represent hairy douch bags or try hard baby boomers and makes more than the boulevard cruiser or the Road King. Times are a changin, HD, and you have got to keep up if you expect to survive. The PA is a step in the right direction (not the Livewire), but you need more than Regan era tariffs and a dried out sales model if you expect to stay in business these days.
      Seriously, as a 50 something lifetime rider, I'd love to ride a HD if they would just make a sporty bike (and loose the Easy Rider image). And I'm not talking the awful gimmick bikes under Buell, which were SO damned ugly, nor the Sportster, which is NOT sporty in any sense. I mean real standards, real sport bikes with usable power, sorted chassis, the use of ALUMINUM FFS. It CAN be done, and it can be done with an affordable price tag. I mean, look at Royal Enfield. For $6k you can buy a pretty decent cafe/standard. $6k! Ducati sells the Scramblers for $9k. If they can do it you can do it. Or... you could fire the guy with the forward thinking ideas and just keep doing what you have always done... Have fun in receivership.

    The honesty can go a long way towards gaining new customers. Customers in 2021, are no longer naive or easily tricked by fancy wording. Being 100% transparent is how you build trust.
    Note: To go from 65 horsepower to 152 horsepower in the same displacement engine, while being lighter, and much, much smoother, is an incredible feat of engineering, and it's very impressive.

Now 50 years later I may finally get that Harley off road bike I wanted, possibly for my last bike. Ironic. Good luck to you Harley on this venture (and future ones too)!

      The BMW R series motor GS model. Has a long proven history in world wide use. The HD has ZERO history. The is a higher risk in going with the new HD. I would buy a GS, Africa twin, KTM, Ducati now because of the history. The low end price of the HD is 17k then we move up to 20k. That is a lot of risk. We will know more in a year or 2 from now. The HD weight is 538 pounds, the new BMW is 590. So Harley chose to go right at the big adventure bikes and stepped right over the mid size of 800-900. Then there is the home run bike of the Yamaha Tenere 700 at 450 pounds with a rock solid motor with a long history at $10,000. The 35 year proven in world wide history of the KLR 650 for $6700. HD has gone right at the big names in the 1000 -1250 engine market. The will surly sell a lot to those who will only by HD but, will they take market share for the big names. If they can't they have a big problem.

    Dear HD, I'm from the Philippines and one of the first few owners of Pan America. Bought my bike July 27 2021 and have ridden it for more than 1800 kms. My last ride last Tuesday was very frustrating. My bikes radiator hose burst open for no apparent reason. I suspected that it may be due to the extreme heat of the exhaust. Brought it to our dealer here in Manila and was told just to wait for that hose replacement which they aren't sure when. I bought that bike because I was amazed by it. I even sold my 2019 sportster to pay partly for it. I hope you guys be able to fix my bike and find solutions that such problem won't happen to others.
