Dave, you are a beta tester and I wish you luck sir, the pan american does look like a fine machine, if I was thirty years younger I may consider one.
I was a Beta tester on the M8 also. I ride a Harley, that's why I have at least two, need something when the other is broke.
Seriously, so far the Pan America is great. Very good suspension, and very adjustable. Very good brakes, Engine has lots of power. The bike is the quickest stock Harley I have rode, its also the fastest stock harley I have rode. This is also the best Handling and riding Harley I have had. This is what happens when you have lots of suspension travel, and ride modes can make it plus for interstate or around town, and then set it very firm for cornering.
Really was hoping to see some of the PA features bleed into the touring bikes. Pan America Special has heated Grips, why not on a Road Glide special? Especially seeing PAS is 9K less money. PAS connects wirelessly to your head set, why cant the Road Glide special with out spending 400 for a WHIM?
