Harley Davidson finally reveals the Pan America Adventure Tourer.

"THE long-awaited and much-talked-about Harley-Davidson Pan America has just been given the Hollywood treatment, as Jason Momoa introduces the new bike is the film he helped to direct."

It’s been a long roll out for Harley-Davidson’s Pan America — a bold leap of faith into the adventure bike world for the cruiser-focused brand. Today the full cover has finally lifted with the global reveal of Harley’s ‘first’ adventure bike. Although the company’s video premiere is quick to emphasize they got their start in the early 1900s when there were few paved roads and all motorcycles were, by default, off-road capable. For a short time in the 60s and 70s, Harley made dirt bikes as well and even won a Baja 500 race in 1975. Then there were the Harley-powered Buell XB12X Ulysses from the 2000s that gave them a toe in the ADV game.

Since the first announcement of the Pan America in 2018, Harley’s venture into the Adventure segment has been met with plenty of skepticism. Today’s unveiling marks the end of speculating what the specs sheet has in store. Although the new machine is no lightweight trail bike by any means, its numbers look competitive with the big dog in the category — the BMW R1250GS. Key off-road specs such as suspension travel, ground clearance, weight, and seat height all match up well, and there is a similar level of advanced electronics and rider aids to improve confidence on the trail. They’ve even introduced an industry-first technology (Adaptive Ride Height) that is sure to get many riders intrigued.

Why is each new offering in the Adventure Touring category competing to be the ugliest?

I have always had a soft spot for HD and I understand they need to change, adapt to the times and all of that. But this doesn’t look like a proper HD by a long shot. And as noted very ugly.

The reviews are coming in and the bike looks good so far. Not my type of adventure tourer but a fair competitor in the heavyweight segment.
