Check out the 2022 Harley Davidson Pan American ''S''!!  The RA1250S. The all new bike to Harley Davidson!!!   The all-new liquid cooled 1250cc V-Twin engine, called the Revolution Max, is a central member of the chassis and thoroughly modern. It has double overhead camshafts, variable valve timing, reaches a peak 9500 rpm. Pan America 1250 model features passive front and rear Showa suspension. 

ARH or Adaptive Ride Height, does pique interest. A $1,000 option available only on the Special, it works with the semi-active Showa suspension (featuring 190mm/7.48 inches of front and rear suspension travel) to lower seat height by one to two inches (depending on rear pre-load) when the bike is stopped.

When the Special gets moving, ARH does its thing and returns the bike to optimal ride height. There’s a lot more there, such as Short and Long Delay modes, but credit where it’s due: the system works imperceptibly and as advertised. Essentially, this bike has all the electrical nannies, protections, and components one would expect on a $20,000 motorcycle   A chain, rather than belt, commands the final drive. The rider manipulates the six-speed transmission with a slipper clutch designed to smooth downshifts and prevent rear wheel slip or hop. Most adventure rides involve pounding some pavement, and here the Pan America 1250 Special excels. Throttling to 5,000 or so rpm, the engine is smooth, efficient. The engine revs freely and never wants for power.  There is plenty of range in the 5.3-gallon gas tank. The 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen is refreshing, surrounding a digital speedo and tach with quadrants of customizable widgets. Phone pairing is simple enough. Download the Harley app (Android or iOS), click a few buttons, and voilà. In tandem with a Bluetooth headset, phone and music functions are controlled with a flick of the left thumb underway, as well as on the touchscreen, albeit when stationary. It has a   full screen of navigation, or display turn-by-turn on one of the aforementioned widgets, you pick. The time-tested Daymaker LED lighting and Advanced Daymaker Adaptive headlight should do the trick of lighting up the road, or trail.   The Pan America offers five pre-programmed riding modes: Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road, and Off-Road Plus. The Special adds three customizable modes, and the Standard model one. In keeping with the competition, they allow the rider to tinker.  Harley hit the nail on the head with this one!!! It has been fully serviced, and it is ready for an adventure!!
