Harley turns Pan Am into Sport Tourer

[Weaselinsuit]

At least it doesn't have a beak.....more of a blunt shovel front end

 

[Tedbrogden]

I'll take my beak anytime.

Redesign that face and it might be attractive. Looks as if it got smacked in the face with a big board.

The Pan-Am hasn’t been a good selling bike, is the Pan Am ST going to be the HD that saves the hugely traditional brand? IMO, not Hardley.

 

[ST Gui]

I'd take that over a beak any day.

 

[the Ferret]

I'd have to see side by side pics on the not ST Pan Am with the ST Pan Am to know if it's any different

 

[mello dude]

Is that the same engine that used to be in the VRod? That was a good engine..

 

[jdmccright]

Beak or no, $26k+ for that weeny thing is waaayyyy too much for what you get, engine aside. That $ is GW territory. Yikes.

 

[ddemair]

A sport-tourer with no luggage? seems contradictory.

Not, not related to the VRod engine. It’s a much more advanced design, 1250cc, 150 hp, DOHC, variable valve timing, liquid cooled, 4 valves/cylinder, etc. they’re racing them in the Moto America Super Hooligans series and doing pretty well with them. The engine seems good but the bikes were plagued with a lot of electronic gremlins initially. Don’t know if they’ve cleared all that up now or not.

Pretty sure they're using the design from the V-Rod for the barrels, pistons, heads. Not sure about the lower end.
