COMPARISON TESTI
P100
FOURTH—
HARLEY-
DAVIDSON
PAN AMERICA
SPECIAL
"I think it's the best bike
for local riding, and it's very
user friendly with a cool
style. I could ride it up to
the lake and have fun but
it's not the most comfortable
and it's not the best
off-road."
– Carl Christofferson
All four testers were genuinely surprised
at how well the Harley performed. For
a first-time ADV bike, the Harley is
superbly executed, but it was always
going to be an ask to topple bikes like
the KTM and BMW.
The Harley won points for its grunty
engine performance at low rpm and
ease of use when the dirt roads got
silty and slippery but lost a few with
each tester commenting on the exces-
sive heat the Revolution Max V-twin let
off, especially while touring around the
street at low speed.
