    150HP. 9500RPM. V-Twin....

    And it's a HARLEY? https://www.cycleworld.com/story/mot...t-ride-review/
    This could be a game changer if they price it competitively. Going to really p!$$ off the old skool riders though.

      Yeah the Pan America is hideous.

        You think THAT'S ugly, check out the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701! At half the price I'd take one of those instead for off roading.

        As to the H-D anything you do is going to tick off the purists so why worry. Big V-Twins are a dying market catering to a dying demographic, they should have started projects like this in the late 70's as far as I'm concerned. 32mpg is horrid in this day in age although I was somewhat surprised by the weight at only 560lbs. For $20k I'll take the Husky and a garage full of project bikes.

          In Canada the stock Special starts at $24,199.00.
          Add the luggage, spoke wheels and upgraded paint and it will easily be $35,000 to have one in the driveway.

            Yeah, no thanks. Just like the big BMW "adventure" bikes, they really aren't for anything other than cruising around. I'll take a KLR with all the mods and no payment any day.

                    I think you are confused..the Vitpilen is a cafe racer
