Hi everyone, I recently traded in my 21 RGS for a 22 PAS! The primary factors were the improved economics and practicality of the Pan America, it's more comfortable and I can carry more stuff. I ride a lot - 20-30k miles a year, and the RGS just wasn't good for me after an hour or two. I live 15min from the Blue Ridge Parkway, a common road motorcycling destination, but there are also hundreds of miles of gravel and dirt service roads. I still have my 99 EVO Fatboy if I want to get my cruise (with curb appeal) on, otherwise the Pan America is just a better fit for how and where I ride.

Thanks! I put the top case on, and will add the side panniers soon. I'll add the daymaker lights (or try and rig up a pair of BD LP6s I have laying around) and possibly a Corbin seat (love Corbin!). No other changes planned after that. It'll spend 90% of its time on payment, and the other 10 on forest roads, nothing technical. I don't anticipate needing a heavier skid plate of radiator guard.

I’m enjoying my 2021 PAS. It had some teething issues but they’ve been diligently resolved by The Motor Company. I highly recommend Raw Hyde off-road training (a BMW school but PAS did better (far fewer falls) than the GS’s which I attribute to the bike rather than my skills). If you’re tall I also recommend Corbin rally seat as the stock seat gets squishy and too soft for my liking after use. Best wishes and safe riding, DL
