I was beyond excited to have the opportunity for a Harley Davidson Pan America test ride at the 2021 Giant Loop Ride! The HD Pan America is an impressive new machine and quite an accomplishment considering it is the first off road offering from Harley. My time with the bike was short, but I was able to get a good feel for the bike and am happy to be able to share my Harley Davidson Pan America review and first impressions with all of you. The bike is loaded with electronics and features, which is not surprising considering the price. We were able to ride a short out and back on the highway and put the bike to the test, even getting some idea of what the Harley Davidson Pan America top speed might be. 150 HP is a lot, but the bike is easy to handle and extremely smooth to ride. The display is bright and easy to read even in direct sunlight. The bike is comfortable when seated, but I have to say that the standing on the pegs on the Pan America is challenging because of the way the tank tapers and the fact that it's pretty slippery, so it's hard to grip with your knees. The peg position is also a little weird for standing up. All in all, I think the PanAmerica is a very solid road bike, but it's not going to be the most capable when you leave the pavement. My Harley Davidson Pan America off road review is that it's probably a 75/25 machine. It's a great road bike that will get you there in comfort and it can survive the occasional gravel road, but it's not going to be an amazing off road machine for anything difficult.
