Pan America 1250

Harley-Davidson's Pan America matches a 150 hp Revolution Max V-twin with the class-exclusive Adaptive Ride Height system that automatically lowers the seat at stops — at $12,000–$18,000 used it is the most accessible entry into Harley's most powerful engine platform. The 540-lb weight makes this a road-first ADV best suited to highway touring; early 2021 models had recall campaigns that should be verified before purchase.
