Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special 2024

Even though it is clearly not a rally bike, the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 knows how to impress with its powerful engine and good balance. It has plenty of traction on gravel and rolls very stably over larger scooters. Due to the 19 inch front wheel and the height of the bike, however, the the Harley soon reaches its limits in technical passages. On the flat, you should also be careful that the sensitive cast aluminium rims are not knocked into corners by potholes. All in all, however, the Harley is surprisingly off-road capable and robust for its dimensions.

Powerful, responsive engine

lush, modern electronics

semi-active suspension

good ergonomics despite the wide fuel tank

cornering ABS as standard, cornering TC as standard

optional seat lowering when stationary

19-inch front wheel suffers in off-road use

workmanship and feel partly below average

quickshifter at extra cost and not perfect
