Ya all you foolio’s out there celebrating the most WOKE bike company out there!!! 👎👎👎 They need to rename it “ The Alphabet Rainbow Motorcycle Company “ since they’ve been supporting the Alphabet group and all their agenda right under your noses , and most every body just ignores it , including all the big name Moto Vloggers , except Big Sose at Demons Row and one other that I can’t remember the name of . There’s a lot more stuff they’re doing to employees , but to much to go into 😤
Rode a Pan Am for two hours. It is very light, fast, and nimble. I found the road noise, heat, and major buffeting to be excessive. I have a HD touring bike which suffers from none of that. Have you experienced those issues and would you be comfortable taking the Pan Am on a 6000 road trip. Thanks for your comments.
@@marclawrence2009 I don’t notice anymore heat than I get off my Street Glide. Road noise? Yeah, you’ll get a little more of that. I don’t personally get any buffeting. But I’ve seen comments from others who changed the windshield and it helped reduce that. I’ve taken it Coast to Coast which was an 8200 mile trip. I’ve done multiple 1000 plus mile days on this bike with the stock seat, and I prefer this over my Street Glide or Road King for longer trips. I leave on Monday for another 8,000 mile trip, I’m taking the Pan America. I hope this helps, thanks for the comment!
Hello, I am one of your "alumns" at Total Control. My names is Juan,I would like to express my gratitude for your help and for generously sharing your expertise with us. I pray that God blesses you and your family, I hope to have the opportunity to meet you on the road.
@@destornilladorvideo I remember you! Thanks for commenting! Continue to learn and ride safe! Hopefully I’ll see you out on the highway or at another course!
What did you use for highway pegs? I just bought a 2024 PanAM CVO, it rides great, but the CAT gets extremely hot, need something to rest my right foot on (like a highway peg) to get my ankle area away from the CAT. The side stand also is a concern, I need to be certain it is fully extended and weighted before mounting/dismounting bike. Already dumped the bike once because side stand folded up while I was getting on the seat.
Oldish video, but I also like the stock seat which I find very comfortable while wearing ADV pants. In jeans, not so much. My bars and risers are stock because I have long monkey arms. Stock windshield is good for me too (I'm also 5'9/175cm) but I don't ride much highway. I'm in Switzerland so there is always a more fun way (mountain passes!) to get somewhere if you're not in a hurry. The only thing I didn't like (other than reliability 😥) was the Harley hard cases because you need the key to open and close them, so I went after market. Best motorcycle I've ever ridden.
The Pan America has a design and platform similar to the Victory motorcycle engine platform, meaning the chain-driven cams and oil cooling systems with full counter balancing. Truthfully, if the Victory motor had liquid cooling, it would be a beast of a motorcycle right now. Harley Davidson designed a motor of the future with all the no-nonsense technology to replace the current pushrod, chain primary, hot air cooled motor with lifters.
Had a Victory XC. It was a great machine for 7 years and 135k miles. The Victory motor that was liquid cooled ended up going on the Indian Challenger. Polaris was on that before they canned Victory. Did love my Vic.
Rode cruisers for years, last year I got a Moto Guzzi V85TT, rode it home 450 miles the first day. Most comfy long distance bike I've been on. The PA was a little taller and I was concerned with height. But now it doesn't scare me at all. Rode the PA last month at a HD event, it was nice and I would probably take it over the BMW, although I love me a shaft drive. Keep up the good work.
A friend of mine is riding his Moto Guzzi V85TT from Pennsylvania to Alaska this year. I can’t wait to hear his stories! My big regret is not buying an ADV Touring bike years ago…… Thanks for the comment!
I just tested a new Guzzi Stelvio. I really like it. I also like shaft drive. I'm running a KTM 1290 SA and could be looking to replace it soon. The one thing that keeps me away from Guzzi is dealer network. I've only ridden three and like them all. The PA I tested was nice, quite surprised by Harley. I think they've done a fantastic job coming into the ADV ring.
@@curtissmith8789 I’m not familiar with the Guzzi. There are a few KTM dealers within 1 1/2 hours of our house and I’ve sat on a few of them but haven’t had the chance to ride them. Best of luck in your next purchase!
Cruisers are fun, but ADV bikes are really the Swiss Army knives of bikes. Fast, comfortable, nimble, weighs significantly less, carries luggage, and typically cheaper than cruisers. The center stand makes oil changes easier. O and you don’t have to worry about carrying around chrome cleaner lol. These bikes look better the more dirt you throw on them.
