Hey folks, considering a low mileage 2022 Pan America Special.
Last big dual sport was a 2016 Honda Africa Twin DCT.
Had that for a year, had aftermarket suspension and bunch if other goodies.
(also was higher than stock and only 29” inseam, had to shift off side of seat to flatfoot a boot when stopped)

Im not a big gravel rider, mostly would use it for secondary roads which where I live are fairly lousy pavement/gravel.

2 things I wasn’t impressed with on the AT was the vibration from the bars from the engine.
Parallel twin not my thing.

Current bikes are 2014 Ultra Limited, 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT, 2003 Honda ST1300
All smooth but not backroads bikes.

Anyone find the vibration a bit ‘much’?
Also the auto suspension work well when stopping?
Opinions?

Safe rides everyone!

 

It’s very well balanced, I get no discernible vibration in the bars. Certainly less than a lot of bikes I own or have owned.

 

It's well balanced, there's just enough vibration to let you know the engine is running.

 

The vibrations are really a personal thing, but form it’s been great. I did add Naren’s weights to fine tune it and even after many multi day trips I can say I’m very happy.

As far as ARH, absolutely love it. One of the reasons I went with PAS.

 

Thanks for responses folks.
Considering it, can't get out on test ride but will likely go out and check it out.
I find it very interesting,

I share the same with above. No noticeable vibration to me at any speeds. I didn't like the GS1200 side to side vibrations at all.
I too have a 29" inseam and the ARH is a game changer for me. Don't even know it's working except for the little light that says it is.
Best of luck.

 

ChrisIN and I could be twins in both our response and inseam…LOL
