A lot of it depends on use and preference though. I get why some people like that hard pan look. It's classic, and what you expect to see when you think bmw GS.

Rich people have both. 😋
Itchy's remarks:

Luggage System

When I used the soft luggage system for the first time, I quickly realized that I would never go back to hard panniers. The soft luggage system is much lighter and easier to take off in case I have to leave my bike somewhere on the street.

For Dhanno I used the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 and for Ronin, I wanted the same setup.
The soft luggage system may have remained the same, but I did change the top bag on the back. Instead of the Stinger 22, I now opted for the Scout 30L because I’m camping this season. For that, I need a little bit more packing space. I also attached two extra Molle 2L pouches and one Molle 4L pouch to my Reckless 80.

Smart girl... And she's Dutch, which is an added bonus. 😋

Btw, the second picture is the hood tank bag... Which I also use. Great waterproof option. Plus no zippers, which makes life easier too. 👍

Anyone know if the Pan America uses a 19/17 wheel set or a 21/18?

Funny earlier this evening I was watching some random YouTube videos on motorcycle traveling and some of hers popped upped. I am liking her style and will watch more of her stuff in the future.

one section of that is over 3,000 miles between Harley Dealerships... investing in a good towing package will be necessary... lol.

I watched a few of her in South America.... but then backed up and started from the beginning... some of the roads she rides around in all of the 'Stans, are pretty sketchy... when she is on them, i always ask myself... Electraglide road... or not an Electraglide road... quite a few are the later.

One of my favorite YouTube channels too, his trip to Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Iran. Central Asia, Russia, the Caucasus and the Balkans to the Netherlands is impressive and alone, a very brave girl.

There's no coincidence why certain things "pop up" on our computers and phones... It's somewhat convenient, but also pretty creepy.

Not sure if you've watched Social Dilemma on Netflix yet... it's worth watching.

And to stay on topic... My guess is it'll have 19/17 wheels also. Should make for a nice touring bike, assuming it's got halfway decent wind protection that functions properly.

I’m excited to see the PanAm and possible demo one.
I follow these threads because I’m intrigued by ADV bikes and their possibilities. However at this point in my life I don’t see one in my near future because my wife loves to ride with me, which is not a bad thing, and these style bike don’t seem to be good for two up. So for now I have to live vicariously through yours and Rockys posts and random videos of others headed down forest roads to awe inspiring vistas.
