New for 2021, the Harley Pan America is an attempt by Harley Davidson to cut into the ever blossoming, but increasingly competitive Adventure Bike market. Can the Harley Davidson Pan America compete with the likes of the BMW R1250GS, KTM 1290 Super Adventure, Ducati Multistrada, Honda Africa Twin, or Triumph Tiger 1200?
A huge thanks to Guildford Harley Davidson for the loan of their demo for this vid.

Nicely done mate. This review had everything, even a Lamb Chops special guest appearance! Haha. Been anticipating this review, and did not disappoint! Impressive machine, I would definitely enjoy throwing a leg over this. Fantastic edit and camera work, A1 as usual 🔝🎥🎬👍🏻

@Elysian_Angel_ 3 года назад

It’s not my cup of tea at all, but I’m happy it exists: more competition is good to keep the established brands on their toes. Also, more choice for us so since I’m sure there will be people this bike will appeal to 🙂

@PCERules 3 года назад

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen this year, loved LCR coming out for a pillion bimble. It’s never to be knocked as loads of bikes I’ve looked at immediately my pillion just says why?!? Before we’ve even left the dealer and Chops ain’t small, so it must have decent leg length. Something that stopped me buying the KTM (my pillion is 5”9 albeit I’m only 5”11) anyway I’m rambling - really enjoyed that watch!

@brucekendall52 3 года назад

This must be the worlds ultimate bike test having TeaPot and Chopsie on the same bike.HD must taken out special Insurance for this test.Great review considering TeaPot has a GS to make an honest comparison.Awesome video.thks.

@ThePalmatron 3 года назад

Love it!! The ultimate pillion test!!! Love the looks of the HD; the price is pretty good for what you get too....It´ll be interesting to see how reliable they are......

@norbertscheibner8334 3 года назад

Good Luck Harley! You absolutely need this kind of reboost and even if a Harley cruiser is not my kind of bike, it would be a real shame if Harley would go down.

@interman7715 3 года назад

Great review Bruce, like you I like the looks too - have done since it was first announced. Looking forward to testing one, though it'll have to be truly special to oust my KTM from the garage.

@bikerbuddy3166 3 года назад

Another good watch and honest review, I think HD did a god job developing there fist adventure bike and spot on for them being brave enough to do so in a market that is very critical of everything they do 😎👌keep up the good work mr teapot stay safe keep the faith 😎👌🏍🇬🇧🤟

@billyholcomb1711 3 года назад

Thanks for the review. A few things you may have missed. The seat is also a just able. You will get better milage in different modes. I thought the fairing did a great job blocking the wind. Stopped the helmet buffering really well. The price is less than the GS. Being here in America, BMW dealerships are few and far between. Harley Davidson dealers are a lot more plentiful over here. So service is a less worry. Don't get me wrong the GS is a amazing motorcycle. The Pan America has a good skid plate and crash bars are already on the bike. Like you I have a. Hard time with the kick stand, but I think I would get used to it. Also with the Harley tradition the motor will perform some better after it's broke in. Same with the breaks. The front forks have a different feel but again after getting used to the bike it should come to you. Just a few thing I found with the bike and just my thoughts about it. Anyway thanks for sharing your opinion. Till next time. Ride safe and have fun. Billy...

@teneretraveller8980 3 года назад

Looks good in that colour. Agree that this and livewire are good bikes for Harley's future. Too much dosh for me but I wish them luck. Be good to see it rattle the cages of the market leaders and keep them on their toes. Happy travels

@altypeRR 3 года назад

Great to see the chops in the video. Not my cup of tea but you have to respect Harley for trying something different

@_audacerider3838 3 года назад

Fun fact best PanAm to get if you are tall and you gonna do 50/50 road/off road riding is the non special version with spoke wheels. The manual suspension gives you biggest ground clearance. Ps the big engine guard is also a must (your test bike had it on) because of the rectifier position right behind the front wheel. But all it all I think HD build a grate bike amd for the price it makes alot of sense. Look vise I like it it looks utilitarian like a pickup truck and I'm happy that HD didn't copied everyone else.

Bruce! This is my back yard man. Those roads around the South Downs are beautiful. If you get the chance, get to Goodwood Aerodrome. The cafe is amazing, next to the race track with the runway in the middle. Awesome place to stop and get a brew. Always something going on. Give me a shout if you fancy a guide. 👍🏻 Great review. Won't get me off the GSA though.

@MrSimonfoz 3 года назад

Great review I actually quite like the look of it now. Still not a patch on my Multistrada Enduro though but impressive.

when my son saw you without the helmet he told me... "he looks like the one from the hobbit, he looks like one of the dwarves..." i just smiled and told him you are 6 ft 3 in, probably a hybrid of elf and dwarf. man your accent plus your beard, you do look like one of the dwarf from the hobbit... even i was thinking of it. LOL

Mr. TeapotOne- You have filmed a very enjoyable review of this new machine. I hope that this bike can do for the fortunes of HD what the GS models did for BMW Motorrad.

@motorvelo 3 года назад

I rode it on Wednesday and thought it was a great bike, loads of power, smooth, and a small feeling bike when you are on it.. I agree the indicator was a pain and sitting in a queue of traffic for a few minutes showed that the seat would get very hot from the rear cylinder. Also that front brake felt a bit soft, even though I never felt like there wasn't enough stopping power the lever was less positive than my Explorer XCA. Its going to be a contender though.

@sparkyobrian6417 3 года назад

I must admit, I love the hydraulic tappets

@malcolmbennett3555 3 года назад

liked the review TP1 and agree that brakes on most HDs do NOT inspire confidence. Gotta give them credit for trying something away from the same old and those bikes and the generation of buyers are slowly all riding off into the sunset.

@andrewshore262 3 года назад

Love this bike, side on it’s a looker and okay the front end is a bit Marmite but again it looks as though it’ll offer good weather protection. V Twin power and it goes like stink, electronics and suspension are all there. If it can handle you and chops it must be pretty good. The unknown of course is it’s reliability and I know nothing about HD dealers, but a test ride could be on the cards - Great Review Bruce enjoyed it👍

@dartmoormole 3 года назад

Great review

@my.motorrad 3 года назад

I rode it too. I didn't ride the special though. I am 6'5, 34" inseam, 20 stone. I found the seat to peg distance tight for me and the windscreen way insufficient. I was getting way too much wind at speed. Yes the seat and the windscreen were in the high position. My ride is a 2009 RT and the PA is a bit lighter and in rain mode the PA reminds me of a torquey version of my RT. In sport mode it has the beans though and moves very well. I am an outlier ergonomically and I admit that. I didn't do the test ride through a dealer and I asked about lowering the pegs and the staff said not, only up. In the end, I didn't fall in love with it, didn't look back at it after the ride. About the telelever vs forks, yes. I prefer the telelever. My RT isn't as nimble, but tracks like on rails and no dive unless you have to panic stop real hard. If HD makes a sport tourer with this engine and it has better wind protection, I'll take another look.

I’m from the states and I must say, From a technical stand point I don’t like Harley’s for a minute. I don’t know a rider that doesn’t have an extensive tool kit that is well used on their bike. That bike looks like a plastic nightmare and considering what class it’s competing in. This bikes completion is BMW GS/ X1000R, KTM, DUCATI multistrada etc.

@vanhurck 3 года назад

Had a go on one yesterday. Did not like it at all. Front wheel steering damper to stiff at low speed. Left leg getting hot due to radiator fan blowing freely on the leg. Only feel of some power in the higher revs. Seem to be always running at least around the 5000 rpm to get some response. Not a big fan of the tft layout either. I don’t see why this bike gets such raving reviews

@FenTour 3 года назад

Lovely job... I found the brakes a little sharper then the BMW and did not really notice the dive. Though I guess we are very different riders, I tend to get the braking done early so would not notice the issues of turning in as you found. But have to agree it's a great looking bike "in the flesh" it's very very close to my 2021 GS.... But lacks the icing on the cake, and indeed Harley missing the quick shifter/auto blipper is a mistake. But one hell of a bike and what a first attempt.... C U Tomorrow.

@Desmo904 3 года назад

For me, it still wouldn't win any style awards. I'm not keen on that Bender from Futurama front fairing and headlight. There are some really nice touches like the automatic height suspension etc and the price is pretty competitive (for a Harley, they're normally damned expensive). I'm sure they will sell quite a few to folks looking for something a bit different from the norm. You can only hope that HD listens to feedback and with a 22, or 23 version comes out with a quickshifter, uprated suspension and just attends to the little things that matter. As you say, not a bad effort for a first try! (Great, honest review as usual Bruce!)

@teapotone 3 года назад

Genuinely, it looked better in the flesh than in all the pics, but yes… the front end is fairly ‘unique’ 😉

@billy4rocks 3 года назад

I think alot of bikers, non harley riders, have got it in for harley davidson for whatever reason. I have to give credit to Harley for doing this, its a brave move, considering the competition, and although the front end is not to everyones liking, at least they did not copy the cliche adventure bike beak, like the Explorer, multistrada, vstrom etc...i think Ktm are the only other manufacturer not to copy BMW in this regard. Anyway, more power to them, id rather see a fleet off these on the road than another toyota prius!.

Test rode one at Maidstone HD. Very impressive for a first attempt by HD. Did feel buzzy through the pegs at motorway speeds though (around 4000 rpm).
