Harley-Davidson Pan America sales off to a good start in Milwaukee
American Harley-Davidson dealers report a phenomenal start to Pan America sales, with the newest adventure motorcycle on the market turning heads (for one reason or another).
HARLEY-DAVIDSON will be relieved to see Pan America sales in their home market are off to a great start, with dealers essentially saying they are gone as soon as they arrive at the showroom!
As reported by Ride Apart & Milwaukee Business Journal, Pan America units are now ready for sale and dealers are “scrambling” to meet demands, with waiting lists building and deposits being taken.
This comes after our chance to ride the Pan America at the UK press launch, and we found it to be an extremely capable bike on & off-road (plus Toad could get his feet on the ground thanks to the Adaptive Ride Height feature on the 1250 Special…).
Harley-Davidson Pan America selling well in Milwaukee!
Matt Sheahan, vice president of the Windy City Motorcycle Company in Milwaukee, said:
“They’re shipping them in right now, and they’re heading right back out (to customers)”
Other dealers were filled with praise of the motorcycle - hardly surprising from Harley Dealers - but they’re all singing in the same tune: Todd Berlin said that:
“As a dealer, the big question is where will they (Harley) position it price-wise, when they announced the pricing, it was absolutely where it needed to be.”
Running on the new Revolution Max 1252cc V-twin, the motor can provide up to 150bhp at 8750rpm - but can just as easily be controlled down via rider modes for different riding scenarios.
It appears the Pan America is off to a good start with the bar & shield faithful, and starting at £14,000 it could prove just as popular across the pond. That’s if people look past the unique styling approach!
