Pros and Cons in comparison

Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special 2022

The Pan America 1250 is Harley-Davidson's first attempt in the segment of large touring enduros - and it is quite a success! Apart from a few, actually negligible flaws, the Pan America 1250 Special is an all-round good adventure bike. On paved roads, it shows its thoroughly sporty character and ranks pretty well in the league of the usual suspects in this class. With innovative features like the Adaptive Ride Height System, the Americans could even manage to acquire a larger number of new customers for whom the usual suspects are all too high.
