This is what adventure motorcycles are all about- covering big miles in a day in comfort and exploring new areas.
Monika and I took the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 to the wild, mountainous north east of Tenerife. Rural de Anaga Park (Parque Rural de Anaga) has some of the finest driving and riding roads I’ve ever experienced- 40 minutes of non stop bend after bend with very little traffic- crossing a mountain range.
This is what adventure motorbikes, whether it’s the BMW R1250GS, the Triumph Tiger, the KTM 1290 or Ducati Multistrada, they need to be comfortable motorway mile munchers, and then be fun on the twists and turns, be comfortable for two, and have the power to overcome every situation with ease.
Coming out of the other side, to the northern side of the island, we headed down towards Taganana and then stopped off at Almaciga- a beautiful ocean front village with a few cafes and restaurants on a dramatic volcanic beach.
I (kind of!) come to a very difficult conclusion at the end of the video and sum up my thoughts on Harley Davidson’s first attempt at an adventure bike!
