In truth, I'm impressed with the Harley PanAmerica. It seems competitive with the BMW GS and the Ducati Multistrada, at least the L-2 version. It's not great for serious off road, but then most customers won't use it that way anyhow.
I feel like the engineers at Harley have been constrained by the 1930's era Harley design and that has really held them back. With the PanAmerica, those constraints are off and I think that they have done some good and original thinking. The engine is quite good and so is the chassis and electronics.
But I have to admit, the styling of the front will take some getting used to. I thought about it and decided that it reminds me of a 50's sci-fi robot. One gent quipped, "Does the Pan Am shout, 'Danger, Will Robinson, Danger?"
