Been wanting to buy an Adventure bike but the 1’s I like are all priced in the high teens low 20’s. Ducati Multistrada, BMW GS1200, KTM 1190 Adventure R etc. This will be my 3rd bike. I already have my Hayabusa for speed and my Roadglide for touring and such. I’m just looking for a bike I can have a little fun with in the rain get dirty off-road and not spend hours cleaning all the time. Spray it off and be done.....

The above chart shows BMW R1200GS "starts at" $16,495 but in reality basically all come with Premium Package which takes them to $20K+

Yes I did consider the Africa Twin..... When it 1st came out and I seen the videos I thought for sure it was gonna be the bike for me. But when I seen it in person and sat on it I didn’t get the warm and fuzzies. I’m 5’10 and been riding bikes my whole life. Never considered myself short but that Africa Twin is humongous to me!!! It sits really high and I didn’t feel comfortable on it @ all.
That’s what I mean by waiting till I see it in person cause what you see on YouTube or read online doesn’t hold water to actually seeing it. I test rode a Ducati Multistrada S and it felt great and I enjoyed the ride. But I wasn’t paying $23k for it.... no way no how

I just thought of an interesting predicament...what if the Pan America is hugely successful and draws a lot of attention and sales....what are the HD dealers gonna do if they get a lot of BMW R1200GS's or Triumph Tiger's in on trade? Hmmmm....something for them to maybe not want to sell any over.... I suppose they could always wholesale them out like they probably do with 7 out of 10 machines they take in trade anyway.... Sorry, it just popped into my head.
