Couple things that get asked a lot that I neglected to cover in the Video:
1. It's a Chain Final Drive. Not a belt like all the other H-Ds. Chain is much more suited for off-road application when dirt and mud gets on it.
2. It does not have a quick shifter like some of the other competitors have. This allows you to shift the bike quickly without use of the clutch.
3. The front wheel is a 19 inch wheel with a 17 inch in the rear.
Comment below if I need to add anything to this list.
4. Clutch is cable not hydraulic like the competitors.
@@rgh622 True point but I covered that in the video.
@@MattLaidlaw my bad, thanks for the vid review. Can't wait to ride one!
Both sets of wheels are that size? Or just the spoke?
Does it have alarm security system or at least a fork lock?
This bike has caused more stir here in the UK than any bike I can remember doing for years. H-D are reasonably well served by their dealer network here (but still nothing like in the U.S.) which will definitely help sales. This has been what has hampered Indian here, however good or bad their bikes are. (And some of them are very good). H-D has some great features such as the suspension lowering at a stop which is an industry game changer imo. The engine looks a peach and will hopefully serve them well in the future especially with a bigger displacement for the touring and cruiser markets.
Good luck to H-D, they deserve to do well with the PA, after all the pain they have been through lately, whether they have brought some of it on themselves or not.
I appreciate the perspective of someone in the UK. Thank you for the comment! Good info.
Not sure about 'well served' in the UK. Dealers are closing all over the place. Preston HD closed this year, so now it is a trail to get to Leeds or Manchester. A horrible trip through city centres, no fun for a country boy.
Been waiting on something radically different from HD for years. I've ridden HD's for 4 decades and have owned many BMW GS's because HD didn't make that kind of bike. Now that they do, I'm #2 at the local dealership for delivery. Can't wait! Thanks Matt, you just poured gasoline on the fire!
Hey Hiflyer. I put a deposit down today. # 3 on their list. Did they give you an OTD price? I could not get one in writing. Supposed to happen in a week though. Not able to confirm when demo bike will be in or accessories. Hope it all comes in May.
@@pja9421 I want the standard, they have that ordered at MSRP, if one of the two they have coming in May is not fully loaded then I will take that one. They can't give me a price on it yet as they don't know what is on it. if I don't take that one, I will be waiting until end of May or first part of June for the standard.
Did you ever try out a Buell Ulysses? It's not as hard core as the GS but it's still a total hooligans Harley both on and off road.
@@BuffMyRadius I had one, actually had 3 Buells. Loved every one of them at the time.
@@hiflyer1168 nice! I only ever had a XB12S that I definitely should have kept around. I have an R1150R with some GS parts on it now but I always have one eye on an Uly, especially now that prices are creeping back up on them.
The styling is fantastic, the fairing shouts HD. The modes available is going to be a hit and the seat adjustment at stop is a game changer for me. HD came out with a bike that has shocked the ADV market and shutdown-up the naysayers that ripped this bike for two years! Congrats to HD can't wait for the Custom & Street Fighter. Great video!😎
100% agree.
I’m an FXR guy. So, I really dig the fairing. And I liked the Fatbob light, so I like it! It’s not “beautiful”. All ADV bikes are weird insects, this is HD’s take and it’s form follows function.
@@roymoderatto Form following function is a Harley hallmark when they get down to brass tacks at least.
Whoever designed the headlight should be fired. It's is hideous and ruins the look of the bike! No go for me
@@Ljbuddy12 I'm willing to bet that you're not in the adv bike market anyhow.... performance, handling, and tech specs are far more important than looks - diametrically opposed to the bagger/cruiser market, where style is everything. Have you looked at any of the other adv bikes? They're all butt-ugly.
Absolute winner. No question this will be a massive success for HD. I’m only 5’8” so I want to sit on it to see which one to get.
I sat on one. You will fit just fine. i am 6'2 with a 33 -34 inseam. I have ridden all the other ADV bikes. This is a total winner for Harley if it doesn't somehow blowup on them. The bike is able to shrink down to the point without affecting the suspension while riding about 3-4 inches so, if your a 29-30 inseam you should fit fine. I know a girl that rides a bmw gs1200 and she is 5'3... it's more about technique.
Appreciate the effort you put into making this video it really went into great detail. Exciting to see this bike and appears to be a success, with pre-orders maxed out. A fabulous sign!
This will be a total hit. It’s actually pretty fairly priced too!
Idiot! why tell them it's fairly priced? That's how you get them to increase it!
@@JokerTheVlad Don’t buy it then.
Not where I live.... Scandinavia woohoo we have almost the highest import taxes in the wold! AND the highest income taxes!!
@@JokerTheVlad Because H-D will react to one person commenting on CZcams haha
Yea, I think they hit all the targets that riders were looking for on this one.
I own a BMW 1250GS and I think this will be a fun bike and a cool option. We all need options and I’m glad that Harley has jumped into this market. Time will tell so let’s give it some time and let’s enjoy the ride from all of the makes and models that we all ride.
Working at a Harley dealership, the training we had on the Pan America was incredible. The new engine is off the charts and the Adaptive Ride Height is a game changer for ADV riders.
Now if they only use it in other bikes like they should have done with the VROD motor.
HD's new CEO gets A+ for releasing this bike!!
You mean, for not canceling it? Ot was in motion before he took over.
@@Dave-sw2dm same diff.
This bike was will into the development cycle before the current CEO came onboard. And the specs and price were set long ago.
@@nickpapagiorgio8038 What's the argument? The OP said the CEO gets credit for "releasing" it not having a hand in the creative process.
@@JohnSuchman past presidents of Harley Davidson have pulled some really stupid stunts such as Kieth Wandell who killed Buell Motorcycles and bought MV Agusta for $109 million then give it back to the previous owners for 3 euros! Buell was already at this point with the Buell Ulysses in 2006, they could have already been 15 years into this had Wandell was fired before he did all the damage that he did.
The special with laced wheels and Knobbys looks freaking awesome
The 3D imagery and inside engine shots with explanation were so cool! Thanks Matt. This engine looks beyond crazy, so happy for Harley.
I'd like to see a police version of this bike.
Shorts cops disagree.
👍
You just did. The Pan Am Special with a different paint scheme and light kit.
Why? So you can get a ticket off the road as well......
It's the fastest bike Harley has ever made.
Great bike. Great price. Cheers for this technical explanation Matt. Love seeing HD making something new and so amazing!! Look forward to your rideouts!! 👍
Thanks for the comment. We will definitely be doing some rides.
EXCELLENT video Matt! This is exactly what an adv rider is looking for. I have owned 11 H-D’s in my life and own a KTM adventure bike next to my FXRT styled Lowrider S. I ride hard and this Pan video impressed me. When I buy one I may have to purchase it from you and ride it across the country back home. Thanks for understanding what a true motorcyclist wants for a model overview.
Obviously, HD did better job with PanAm entering the BMW soil, then BMW entering HD soil with its strange R18.
The R18 was a re-interpretation of a 1938 model, for reference.
What a joke, check your history.
@@Tripped11 so? It doesn’t change the fact that R18 is strange bike with hot engine close to your feet and uncomfortable seating position.
The R18 isn't BMW's first cruiser is the point I think people are trying to make.
@@Tripped11 That is what they claim. But to me it is just a wannabe Harley which they have over designed as usual. Odd looking thing.
I am excited about this bike, I think Harley Davidson has a winner here.
That is one hell of a revue Matt. Well done 👍👍👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Woohoo! I've been patiently waiting for your in-depth coverage Matt, good job 👍
Glad I didn’t disappoint. 🤙🏼 thanks for watching
If I buy one, I'm going to get it from your dealership. Fly in, pick it up, and take the scenic route back east through Hwy 1 up the coast, across the Sierras into Nevada, over to Utah, down to North Arizona, New Mexico, back up through the Rockies then highway the rest of the way with a few backroads in between. Much respect for the CEO and other employees test riding, giving feed back to make what so far seems like an awesome bike. That was one heck of a video brother. Everything you would want to know and then some. Very good job. I done learnt me somethang today watching this CZcams stuff.
Can I come with you Murph? That sounds like an amazing trip my friend. Thanks
Great video Matt. I love your stuff but this was one of your best ones in a while. Thanks!
Harley Davidson will sell slot more of these than they sold V-Rods
I agree
By a very big margin.
The VRod was an under appreciated bike. HD riders hated it because it wasn't a HD. Non HD riders didn't look at it because it was a HD.
Yup - the V-Rod was a great engine in the wrong bike. Should have been packaged in something more like the recently deceased Bronx.... it wouldn't appeal to the traditional H-D guy, but it would almost certainly have brought in other customers
@@wwb7091 and there in lies the problem, the customer base. They shoot everyone in the foot and hate change, HD gets cucked by them and doesn't try anything new, which then leads to everyone else laughing at them. All because the fan base consists of lots of boomers that jack themselves off to outlaw porn and think they're hot shit while they're on a $30k loan. I hope this new bike changes this.
Wow. Thank you for all the great and in depth information. I learned a lot today and although I am not into adventure riding, I am excited to see and maybe test ride this bike.
Great video, Matt! Very informative and a good deep dive into the specs!
It's a winner. Thanks for producing and posting this.
Appreciate the detail Matt. I love the look.
As a GS rider I think this bike looks impressive. I hope it is a huge hit for them. However if this bike is going to appeal to guys like me, you are going to have to change the dealer experience. No hang tags, quoted prices $5,000 above list, and long negotiations with the sales manager to get back to list. Not for me. Harley needs more dealers like you.
A week to produce this video? Worth every second.
Your best yet.
Excellent ! Just excellent !! What a fantastic review Matt. I’ve ridden most brands out there during the course of my life. After being introduced to Harley’s in the mid 90’s by a dealership 2 miles down the Rd, my motorcycling career transformed. I’ve owned no less than 20 Harley’s since buying my first. Riding H-D has given me many years of riding happiness. I’ve forged many wonderful relationships with those who work at the dealership. My Buddy and I are going to buy a couple of the PA’s and take a nice long adventurous road trip out West this summer. This bike is a masterpiece, I hope they sell a million of them ! Thanks again for this magnificent video !!
Great informative video Matt !
As a "gear head", you can never have too much info.
You've definitely raised my interest in this motorcycle. 🤠
Totally agree 👍 looks like a great bike!
Whata Lotta bullshit somebody who has a BMW or KTM is not going to trade it in on this piece of shit fake-ass Farley the market for $30,000 that your bikes in his limited as the market for an e-bike in that price range they have problems left right and Centre with some some very severe you want to get a Pan America they are already feeling the cycle trader for sale columns 600-lb Adventure bikes purple ship from start to finish
holy shit Matt, awesome video you put together! even if I am in the market for a Low Rider S hahahaha... keep up the Stella work, from Australia!
Thanks brother. I got plenty of Low Rider S Content coming !
Matt, well done on the technical review. I am a long time rider with multiple HD's and dirt bikes (which includes a 790 Adventure). My sons ride and one of them is pretty tall/big - he's a die hard Harley guy but I raised him as an off-road rider. This bike really has his interest - thanks.
As always stellar presentation, video , and cinematography. Keep them coming Matt. Love your work !!
I grew up ridding off road, including sand, street i will only ever be in a Harley...
Always wanted throw a Harley engine on an off road vehicle, am happy Harley did it for us, who better than them..
Kuddos
You’re only hurting yourself by being brand loyal. I used to be there with you. Now I’ve gotten into triumph, bmw, Honda, etc. and once you learn to love every brand you can really go to a next level for the love of riding
I've had them all to the harleys are just more of a sound bike, they really focus on the road and not "hey look what we did with coke bottles"
@@DieselSniffer3500 you are right , i do admire all times of bikes, i just fell Harleys suit me better and you must agree that bikes are an expensive hobby and maybe is why i limit myself...and am glad to hear other bikers enjoing everything else, ride safe
I’ve ridden all bikes. I continue to ride different makes of dirt bikes etc. I enjoy, value, and have the most fun on my Harley no question.
Harley engine in an off road vehicle sounds a bit like a Buell Ulysses to me.
I always find it fascinating to listen to a marketing person that knows what he is talking about. Thanks Matt
Great video Matt . Hope it’s a huge success for HD!
Great video Matt! I like this bike and I like the direction Harley is going with this engine. I hope to see this engine in more bikes like the Bronx!
Same! I can’t wait to try this out and see the engine applied to other bikes.
@@MattLaidlaw I am a harley stock owner. They need to release the bronx.
@@moonrunrs I’m a Harley stock owner. They will in the future.
Good looking and seems actually flawless. Extremely high tech. Been saying, this along with the LIVE Wire, has put HD right out front. I will highly recommend this (Matt's) video as the fact sheet for this brand new American made performance gem. ✔
This is hands down the Best review on the internet for this bike. Thanks for putting it together. I like that it has a cable clutch. They are more easily repaired if you break it in the middle of nowhere. I also think you get better feel out of a cable clutch vs hydraulic.
This thing is a BEAST!!! 100 lbs lighter than my VRSCAW and 30 more hp! I can’t wait to get my hands on one. Excellent video as always sir.
Excellent job with the video, Matt!! I appreciated all the details regarding the engine. So far, so good, I think Pan America will be a hit for H-D, but I must ride the machine first to confirm my opinion.
I am looking forward to adding an adventure bike with my M8 powered H-D Road Glide Special and was very disappointed when I test drove the BMW 1250 GS. So, I am ready to test drive this machine and select a winner between the two.
Thank you! Thanks for watching. Yes, it will be interesting to see how they compare. I've ridden the BMW a fair amount and it's a rad bike. I think the Pan America will overall be better though.
They had an entry into the ADV market in 2006, it was called the Ulysses.
HD and Buell were two different companies. That's like saying Fox News Channel has a Star Wars saga because Disney is owned by Fox Corp.
@@jc5604sorry to disagree but, Buell was a fully owned subsidiary of HD.
@@jc5604 Harley closed Buell in October or November in 2019. Keith Wandell president of Harley at the time came to the factory in June 2019 and told the workers that Harley was behind them 100% and they were going to fund them with their development of future projects like the dirt bike. October he pulled the rug out. Harley at the time bought MV Agusta for $109 million then turned around and returned it to the MV family for 3 euros. Wandell should have been strung up by the investors.
So much for Harley building low tech, low powered bikes from the past. What will the haters complain about now? Great job Matt. Best review anywhere. Thanks so much for doing this.
Great information, Love the look of the Pan American and can't wait to see it in person
It is not my style of ride but damn HD delivered !! Hope to see in the near future some of the new technology into baggers too....
Nice overview of the Dirt Glide
Nice name for the bike, man!
@@igig2792 haaa thanks!!
Very professional informational video! Thank you.
Matt, your videos are always top notch. Thank you so much for making quality content again and again. Cheers to you and your crew from Lake Tahoe!
I'm excited by this bike, I hope it does well
Dear Harley. That engine + dyna frame. New Dyna. Keep the sportster with the classic evo. Wheelie guys will love them.
Why bring back the dyna frame? If you are going to bring back a frame at least bring back the FXR
@@TH3G0ODGUY tbh both frames are probably a bad choice a new frame would be better call it by either name to appease whichever fanboys they want to service. But bringing back the Dyna/FXR as a platform would be ideal something that fits between the sportster and Softail and is more performance focused, without making it look like a “future bike.” What they need is an updated engine on a simple easy to mod platform.
@@jonr4651 you mean like the upcoming 1250 custom?
I love this. I’ve been riding Harleys for years. The hardcore guys will hate it, but Harley is stepping up to the plate. Great job HD 🇺🇸
EXCELLENT Video Matt! I agree, HD hit a grand slam with the Pan Am. The Special is top of my list for new bike purchase this year!
I'm 5'8" and I'm good on my roadglide. I might have to go to a lower seat if I got one of the Pan America bikes. And why wouldn't you go to bike night on one. I've seen people show up on groms.
The suspension automatically lowers for you at a stop with this bike.
Interesting. I thought it was factory installed on the special. Good to know
@@fanofhumidity I haven't gone to a lower seat on the roadglide but I think only the cvo lower seat. Was just thinking I may need a lower seat on the pan america.
I am your height. I was comfortable on the bmw gsa low. If the pan am can get to that height we can easily ride it.
@@moonrunrs I've rode dirt bikes that I had to tip toe on but I've got on some that I easily flat footed. This bike looks awesome and I'd gladly ride one if given the chance.
Hoping this is a game changer for harley. Also hoping maybe some of that tech with trickle down to the cruiser line. Thanks for the details. The reveal video left alot of info I was looking for. I like the looks but it sure does look like hd contacted hoover vacuum for styling cues. Lol
Yep, would love a Road King Special with this motor in it. This bike puts the rest of their lineup to shame as far as capability for the money but can definitely still see the appeal of their cruiser lineup. You would have to spend thousands in addition to a new touring bike to get it to keep up with the Pan America in a straight line though.
Fantastic Matt, I think this, strangely, is your BEST descriptive video! I'm really excited because Harley is getting BETTER every year with new features from the starting point of the already universally loved Milwaukie 8 engine - a marvel. Well, these are the same engineers producing the Revolution Max engine for long-distance tourers who need the bike's ability to handle washboard, gravel, off-road, sandy, or pan-arctic tundra conditions. This is the perfect bike for those who want to travel to Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk. I'm not a mechanic, but your description was so well done I think I ought to be, or more accurately you, teaching mechanical engineering at CalTech! Way to go - this was BOSS!!
Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. Another quality video. Matt continue to blow out it’s completion. Keep the excellent content coming Matt. Blessings.
I love this bike.
I hope this engine makes it into the FL touring bikes.
Maybe you should consider a Goldwing with automatic transmission.
@@allanmccullough8550 why?
@@patw9175 Simple...I've been riding Harleys for 38 years and they have gone as far as they can with air cooled engines imho.
It's time for them to go water cooled and I would welcome the change.
@@allanmccullough8550 been there done that...might do it again.
@@patw9175 It sounded like he would prefer something other than a Harley, moer high tech.
Harley has shown serious commitment issues with all of their projects outside of the cruiser segment. Many of their former customers have been forced to move on.
They're barely hanging on with an entire line of horribly engineered and overpriced garbage.
Can’t wait to try this! One of the best moves from HD in last 60 years 😬
Glad to see HD leaning towards off-road riding more. A bit of a change from street bikes. This bike is a definite game changer and puts HD back on top. Can't wait to hear your take on actually riding one. Stay safe, ride hard.
The suspension that lowers itself at stop is going sell a lot of Pan America's.
Till it breaks then you swearing at it . Just saying
Yep, and if the online chatter in the womens ADV groups about this feature is any indication, alot of them might be us female riders. Can't wait to test ride. Might have to gain a few lbs though as they assume a 180lb rider to get to gain that 2 inches lol.
HD HQ needs to send one to @Million Dollar Bogan for a real field testing.
Very well done. Lots of great information!
Very informative and interesting video, great job Matt!!!
Honestly, this engine needs to trickle down to the rest of the lineup. We’re paying way too much for air cooled engines.
I think the sportster is the only bike they have that's still air cooled, the big twin M8's are all liquid cooled
@@ScottHomeVideos oil cooled doesn't count lmao
Then you strip away the feeling and character of the big twin. I still prefer my Milwaukee-Eight on a cruiser over something like this.
@@ScottHomeVideos You’re right. I’m an idiot; I thought it was just the touring models.
When this bike launches it will be the only good bike harley makes. This is a great video man. This is the first time in my life i wanted to buy a harley.
Just wait for the 1250 custom. It will have the same motor and hopefully the same power or more. I can’t wait for that to launch. I may even trade in my Softail Lowrider S.
@@dicktrickle8137 my mt10 has more power less weight and is just as comfortable. The 1250 custom is a downgrade. I just like this Harley because it looks like a great adv bike. With the tech. I'd still buy a Honda Africa twin over this though. Same bike for less money.
@@2twolow not the same class of bikes but ok. I used to ride super sports but got tired of being uncomfortable when just cruising around and every time I touched a part of the bike the plastics always creaked like my sons toys and I hated that. As far as cruisers go it’s HD all the way for me. So yeah a MT-10 is faster. A Ferrari is faster than a civic but they’re two different classes of cars.
@@dicktrickle8137 a mt10 is not a sport bike. Its not covered in plastic. It is meant for cruising for long distance. Its just a cruiser with sport bike power.
@@2twolow I understand that. It’s considered a naked bike, but it’s not a cruiser and it isn’t classically styled. My entire original comment was geared more towards if you were into say the Indian scout which most people always bring up in the cruiser comparison. If you like the scout then just wait for the 1250 custom with hopefully 50 more HP. If you’re not into that then of course you aren’t gonna care. MT-10s are sport naked bikes. They’re not super sports but they damn sure aren’t cruisers either. They are in a class of their own really. Sport naked. My HD has a 5 gallon tank and HD touring bikes I believe have 6 gallon tanks so I suppose you could do long distance on an MT-10, but I doubt that’s what they were designed for
Best and most informative PanAm review yet. Great job again Matt!
Thank you!
wow i’m blown away by your attention to detail. top shelf
WELL MADE BIKE!! F THE HARLEY BASHERS, THEY DID THEIR THING ON THIS ONE!!
The only reason you got this bike made was because of those "Harley Haters" having the brains and balls to point out how HD have been falling short with their bikes for decades now. 😂👌
@@ausforce1 no the haters are actually those who can’t afford any of those bikes, or those who can’t diy them. You know the independent shops.
@@ausforce1 the only thing falling short are those who don’t complain and about every damn thing. Funny to me, are those who complain but continue to buy their products. Maybe S&S should start making bikes. Indian finally came back to the drawing board.
@@ausforce1 because trolling on the internet takes a lot of brains and balls 😂 👌🏼
@@MattLaidlaw you have a good point there Matt 👍.
I have a a lot of love for Harley Davidson and they have my best wishes, I hope to see HD grow and prosper in the coming decades. I hope they continue to keep the HD dna in their cruiser line up but also Branch out into modern state of the art motorcycles that push the limits of design and engineering. Congratulations Harley Davidson on the Pan Am...now hurry up and release the 1250 Custom so I can choose which one to buy 🤔😍.
This was an awesome review ! So thorough ! Thanks
Awesome awesome awesome video. Thanks for explaining so much detail. I can’t wait!
Thank you for watching!
Great review Matt. As a present Harley & KTM Adventure bike owner I'm pleased to finally see a complete and honest review of the new Harley Adventure bike. But there are a few take aways from this as well. Things I wish Harley would do for every potential Harley Pan American owner.
1-Offer more color options.
2-Offer a quick shifter.
3-Offer a 21" front & 18" rear spoke wheels.
4-Offer the lowering suspension at stops for both bike models.
5-Offer a mid-weight model in the 750-900cc range for more off-road abilities. With the 21/18" wheels of course.
Excellent! Thanks for all the details !
Solid job Matt on this video. Well done.
I ride KTM. I would be more than happy to unload one of my KTM for this. Good job on going so far in-depth on details. You crushed all the other videos that are out.
I admire you for simply talking for more than 30 minutes of your impressions for the bike 🏍
Thanks Matt! Always great videos and great content!
Brilliant in depth video, excellent product knowledge too. I'm a BMW GS1200 Adventure rider, and I love everything about my bike. I have to say though, the Pan America looks amazing. I hope it sells well, and I'll definitely be booking a test ride when I am allowed. 👍
Thanks for sharing the details. Alot of details!
Its interesting to see what type of technology Harley have selected for offroad use.
thank you for the videos Matt! super helpful and definitely am very interested in one of these.
Excellent detailed review! Definitely excited for this bike
Can’t wait to see your adventure videos with your Pan America. The multi day camping trips are a must!
Good show Matt. Hope it is a huge success.
Glad Matt took the time to go into such detail on the motor. With all the new tech going into this I really hope HD delivers something that lasts...they really owe it to the buyers of this bike who are putting a lot of faith in HD engineering given their track record with new tech applications...anyone else laugh when he mentioned cable clutch (sorry M8 owners) ?
I so want the special! Great video! Thanks for the inside look!
I am so excited for this motorcycle. When it was first announced, I really wasn't sold on the look, but it has grown on me since then. I'll be buying a Special as soon as it hits the dealership floor. Great video, Matt!
Respect. A very comprehensive winner. I think the bike is definitely a winner, especially for vertically challenged riders like myself at 5'8. The S is definitely worth going for if you can stump up the extra cash if you're a short rider. Thanks.
Absolutely love this bike and can’t wait to throw a leg over one! Thanks for the detailed review.
Same! I can’t wait. Thanks for checking out the video man.
Incredible, I’m sold! My next bike for sure. Super version of course
Thanks Matt, very informative and interesting video mate. Love your work! Can’t wait to hear what you think of yours when you get it!!🤘🏼
I’m very excited 😝 about this bike . I started out in the dirt at 10 years old . I’ve always wanted a lighter trail bike for on & off road use to compliment my 2020 RGS. Now I have a truly awesome option from
HD that is reasonably priced & looks incredible! Great review BTW! 👍
Matt, great presentation and with very informative material. Thanks.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Count me in, I had put a deposit on the new Multistrada with the new engine by Ducati back in November. Just cancelled and GP Motors refunded my deposit, I wanted something different than my M8 Road Glide. Very excited for the new direction of this bike.
Great video Matt. Even a grumpy old schooler like myself can appreciate a good thing when I see it. Harley better stock up on the midnight oil because they'll be working around the clock filling orders for this one.
Great video and review as always Matt! I like the bike in general, looks kinda roadglide-ish from the front, can’t wait for you to do the ride review looks like the bike would be fun and the price isn’t bad.
Can’t wait to watch this!!!! Need to find me some quiet time & a cool beverage 🍻
It’s worth sitting down to if you want to know every detail.
Seeing all these guys with their zoom zoom zoom adventure bike and they stand on the pegs sitting on a perfectly good fire road that is his flat as my sister's chest pathetic tomfoolery self-deception at it's worst on the fender didn't do anything to keep mud off the radiator which would clog it up in the desert and kill your bike because it can't cool it off let's see how many times you can dump it trying to ride a 600-pound dirt bike off-road before something major brakes on it and you need to be towed back to camp I have done this already writing one of my brick bike in the sand trails around my home and I told a guy brand new Pan America back out to the street so he could wait for the tow truck to come get him total electrical failure and I love the starter that sounds like you're stepping on your cat's tail so sad
Great informative video as usual Matt
Thanks a lot for this video Matt! It’s that type of video I’ve been waiting for since they released the bike. It really raised my interest in the bike and can’t wait to take it for a demo ride when it’s finally here. Perhaps I won’t be buying a street glide after all 😅. Can’t wait for your next videos about it either! Nice job! 👍🏻
Thanks man. Thanks for watching
Thanks all 33:05 Matt Mega great review!! Definitely a winner in my books. I wouldn’t mind getting a Pan America and taking a road trip to Jalisco Mexico this bike will definitely handle the roads out there! Can’t wait till you get the Pan America to see more great videos.
Thanks for the breakdown. Picked up my S yesterday.
