While at the dealer picking up a gasket for my recently acquired 22 PAS, I got talking to the owner about my bike. He informed me that the PAS will go into NR (non-renewed) status for the 2026 model year according to his sources at HD. Additionnally, sportster and nightster production will return to the York, PA plant with no MSRP changes. No news on the Pan Am ST. All of his 7 dealerships have opted to carry 2025 rev-max bikes and so far, sales have been predicatably disastrous. Can't say I'm surprised or upset to see the Pan Am go.
Pan Am Has Been Canceled for 2026

I don't have a lot of faith in a vid that the labeling on the gas tank doesn't even say Harley Davidson. The bike at :41 says "Pan Ametson" or "Fan Awetson" on the fairing. lol

Where's your proof that it's not being canceled? Nearly everybody that wanted one has already purchased one (and likely ditched it for a great loss). Rocket, for your own benefit, go ride the competitors ADVs. You'll find yourself in total agreement with me.

@Panamfan123, Last week I stopped by a BMW dealer to check out the bikes. I'm 68 btw. Bikes felt very top heavy compared to my Pan-Am. For that very reason alone I hope your source is mistaken, but I don't find it hard to believe compared to others on this forum.
Harley Pan America, worst launch in history of motorcycling.

I have both a 22 PAS and a 23 R1250GSA, and you are absolutely correct. The GSA feels more top heavy at low speeds because it is. Once under motion, the GS/GSA masks it's weight far better than the PA. The PA could have been a gamechanger and class leader for HD but they butchered it and waited too long to make things right.
I’ve owned BMW and Tiger and didn’t like either do to lack of feel and style. I’ve been riding since 1986 and have had 27 new bikes of all different mix and models and the pan America is by far my favorite of them all. Some people will swear by the DTC automatic transmission Bike, but those people aren’t real motorcyclists just like E bikers aren’t real bicyclists. No other ADV Bike will hit the jumps like a hand America and then rock 150 miles an hour on the highway back to back. The other ADV bikes, as far as I’m concerned, or for old people who like to tour on the road

The reality is that the PA is selling. They made the ST just this year. Harley sais it's the most bought adventure bike. True? I hope so. But doesn't sound like they are abandoning the PA.
I was wondering about those videos also. Who Makes them what are there purpose?
The narrator sounds AI. The Pan Am's look to be too outrageous to kinda fictious IMO.
Certainly the Pan Am's I saw in the videos in 2024 look nothing like what Harley put out in 2025.

I had posted earlier wondering about test rides for the ST. Very few out there but I finally got to ride one last week, first day on the floor - bought it. There was another one that sold next day.
My review disappeared?? but itchyboots post is accurate for what I also experienced. ARH is stock, however. His post is worth the read - thanks, ODGreenPA: https://www.panamericaforums.com/threads/pan-america-st-test-ride.2337/post-20762
The windshield is non adjustable and my ONLY complaint. Already received my replacement so absolutely no regrets.
I traded a '24 PAS in and as I stated in my post, the ST nailed a few points I had wished for my '24. I am short, knocking on 69 and after at least 8 other bikes (losing count - but Yamaha, Honda, mostly Harlys), the PA-ST is built for me.
And whoever Panamfam123 is, please ignore my post.

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure R does offroad better than the Pan Am and has a higher top speed. You are not correct.

Both poorly run companies. The difference is, KTM didn't rely on taxpayer monies to bail them out. Without the U.S government, HD would have succumbed to the same fate decades ago. Also, KTM makes a superior adventure bike in all regards (when compared to the PA). They are also not going out of business as you incorrectly stated.

Please keep this kind of negative behavior off the forum. Glad the mods took appropriate action.
Decades ago was when all us 60 somethings were in our forties and fifties. Everybody was on a Softail, Springer, Road King or Harley Wanna-Be, remember those. Weekend biker hang outs were packed. Harley Dealerships were springing up all over the country resembling mini malls. the Brand was .....
