Motorcycle Oldie Harley-Davidson lands with the first travel enduro of the company history such a so-expected blast. The fight for the hunting grounds dominated by BMWS GS is likely to become harder.

Travel enduros apparently have their natural habitat in Germany; Nowhere else will be sold as many as in this country, even if the few of them ever get the gravel or even coarser under the wheels. In the segment of the highly potent all-rounders, the BMW R 1250 gs still present the sound; In 32 markets in the world, it is the best-selling travel enduro, in Germany even for 20 years the best-selling motorcycle at all. Strong competitors come from Ducati, Honda, KTM and Triumph. In this field, the new Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 wants to penetrate it from June in two versions from 16.To give 000 euros, namely as standard and as a special.

Harley-Davidsons Pan America – The Jeep of Motorcycles

The generally prevailing horror horror about the design in the presentation of the prototype in November 2019, even if it is still unusual. Meanwhile, we see the shaping as a striking. It is independent and extremely functional. The Pan America 1250 has the stuff, as once the Jeep and long also the GS to become the brand.

The transversely built-in V2 engine with 60 degrees cylinder angle is a high speed aggregate; The peak power of 112 kW / 152 hp is at 8.750 rpm. realized, the maximum speed is 9500 tours. But at the same time, the variable valve control and four-valve cylinder heads top updates V2 is a brave work animal; He controls the tucker mode with low speeds for terrain excursions and shines with heavy power development in the speed range between 3000 and 7000 revolutions. In addition, it is rotatable and elastic; The translations of the six gears fit seamlessly. Even the standard consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 km indicates that the V2 is not a savings miracle. With six to 6.5 liters you could probably get along. Running noise and exhaust sound are similar to Honda Africa Twin; whose 1100 engine is the US aggregate however significantly superior.

Suspension: It depends on the version

Just as good as the engine and the clutch and transmission works the chassis. Here is the most important difference between standard and special. The basic Pan America must settle with well-coordinated and all parameters adjustable Showa spring elements, while the Special has an electronically operating semi-active wheel guide of the same supplier; In practice the superior solution. Five pre-selectable chassis profiles are lush. Your spreads are well felt, and there is a car leveling. Particularly convincing on the country roads is the sharpest mode (S like sports); Here is the chassis TRAFF. But the "Flying Carpet" does not go through the five preconfigured driving programs (Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road, Offroad Plus). Three other modes allow individual programming.

For off-road driving, only the special was available. With a terrain bar, she masters everything a fiftezentner bolide away from the asphalt is not least because of her quite high focus no gams. Striking is that the standard, non-adjustable steering damper resulted in a slightly slot deflection behavior at a low-speed. After some habituation loses this feeling. The basic version without steering damper is accessible. A chassis instability we could never determine with her, even at maximum speed – Tacho 227, presumably electronically controlled – not.

The comfort requirements for a travel enduro fulfills the Harley easily: seat, footpegs, handlebars, wind protection – all top. Also, the large TFT display together with all connectivity fines fulfills European ideas. The operation of the enclosable on-board computer is understandable, but the touch of the turn signal button on the left on the handlebar because of the large computer operating cartilage but not ideal. Although there is a residual range display, but no indication of consumption. A tightly fitting luggage system can be found, as well as other luggage containers, in the accessory offer.

There are still optimization potential

There are two options for the special: Cross spoke wheels (500 euros), beneficial in off-road use, as well as an adaptive chassis reduction (660 euros), which is effective when holding. This reduces the seat height by up to five centimeters. When going on, the chassis moves back up in three selectable programs. However, the self-development of Harley-Davidson unfolds its charm only on the way: When upgrading and descending the system is not available.

Of course, there is also an optimization potential at the functional attractive Pan America 1250. So you have no quickshift to switch to clutchless switching; Also, tank cap and steering lock should consistently be integrated into the keyless start system. Radic assistance systems, at BMW, Ducati and KTM already on offer, you are also looking for vain. In terms of handling, the established competitors are often continued to see well on the hackling windshield adjustment and because of the main and side stands in certain situations come to the cross. In addition, the maintenance intervals of 8 are.000 kilometers for a travel motorcycle too short; Competitors already offer 16.000. That you will still optimize the processing in Thailand, where the Pan America is built, we will predict the processing for a premium provider.
Engine and chassis of the US all-rounder convince, the ergonomics is just as good as the ride comfort. The equipment including the driving assistance systems is the vehicle class adequate, which the special version even very good. In all this, the vehicle weight is in the usual frame. That also the price of 18.000 Euro for which particularly important special is absolutely competitive with us, it also counts. If the Pan America 1250 receives a targeted revision in the (few) relevant details in the next two years, she might make her way and lead the currently violently crushing engine Company from Milwaukee into a lighter future.
