Bought a 21 in May of 21, put 21K miles on it in 18 months.

Had all the issues, fuel pump, radiator hose, electrical... I just got tired of it when the fuel pump went out for the 3rd time. I traded it in on a Road King Special in October of 22.

I missed the PanAm something fierce!

I've only put 7K miles on my RKS in the same amount of time, just not as fun, looks good but not as fun.

Sooooooo... I bought a 22 PanAm 2 weeks ago :p

I just love this bike, it's a fun and comfortable ride.

I'm keeping my RKS for around town and short trips but my long distance rides will be on the PanAm.

I absolutely love this bike. I got the extended warranty because I understood I was buying a newly developed bike and it worked out great. They covered the few small issues I had.

I’ve done the COBDR, WYBDR and the MABDR. Bike has performed great and I’ve never had an issue on the trail.

Id love to convert it to a road racer as well. You can really do anything with this platform.

Still a fan! Every minor first-model-year issue resolved while still under warranty. Best upgrade was the Li-Ion battery, truly believe the OEM battery not up to the electrical requirements of the bike (and believe they have upgraded same in '23 or '24). Don't need the trickle charger at all, and 14.2+ all day while riding. Just shy of 14K miles. . .

Recently purchased a '24 model. I've owned several other big ADV bikes and sold my GS Adventure to purchase the Pan Am. This bike is so unique in the way it looks and the way it rides...both in a good way to me. In my area I often see a few Pan Am's out running fire roads and I've never spoken with a single owner that didn't get any issues with their bikes resolved. Mine has been flawless so far and hey, if I have an issue I'll get it fixed. Bikes get broken in the places I take them. Bike puts a smile on my face.

I enjoy reading some of the posts on the forum. There are some really informative posts, others that are entertaining, and a good number that are quite negative in content. I get it - a person's experience becomes their perception or reality. And I am not shocked because many forum contributors seem to be the disappointed or disillusioned rather than the happy or satisfied customers of various products.

So, I am interested in hearing from those who have some positive news stories to share. What do you love about your Pan America? What good experiences have you had?

Have a bit over 18k on my 21. It has been an awesome bike. Fuel pump has started being an issue. It got loud in Arkansas last Thursday. I rode back to NC no failure. I am sure it is the common issue. As such, glad it has gone this far. I do love the bike. It handles very well.
