The Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 is attracting high customer demand in the US home market, with models selling out instantly as they arrive at dealerships. According to latest reports, dealers are upbeat about the Pan America's prospects for two reasons. First, the motorcycle has been well-received by the media as a great product, with reviews commending the Pan America 1250's off-road and touring capabilities. Secondly, with a price tag of around $17,000 for the base model, Harley-Davidson's adventure tourer is priced competitively in the adventure touring category.
