Maybe after they figure out how to make it NOT sound like a sewing machine. Great motor, loved riding the Pan America, but the engine noise takes some getting used to. It’s like you hear every single moving part.

Yes I like the look of the Sporty also.

I'm still trying to figure out what it came out ahead of? If the test was to only have less than 2 failures in 1952 miles of use on a controlled surface, at a controlled private track how bad did everyone else do? To me it is a bunch of BS as it should have done it with ZERO failures in such a short distance in controlled conditions IMHO

Agreed... I dont understand the pat on the back for this... If anything its a testament to not buy one. Id bet an old Honda Goldwing would have had zero issues running side x side....
