OK you read the article, but you don't understand the definition of the word "commissioned". Let me help you: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/commissioned

Even the very first post of this thread clearly states "This Pan America has been outfitted for duty by a Harley dealer."

The subtitle of the Cycle World article that you claimed to have read also clearly states "This dealer concept from Laidlaw H-D debuted at a California motor police event." What are you not understanding?

So, if I commission an artist to paint your portrait can I claim it to be my work? If someone asks you to build something can they claim it is their work?

I can lead you to water, but I can't prevent you from drowning while you drink.

I don't see this forum nor Cycle World claiming that Harley built the bike.

Read what I quoted and tell me where any of that has anything to do with Harley Motor Company.

HARLEY did not debut this bike....it was debuted by Laidlaw Harley Davidson, the dealer who built it.

Also why would LE need it ? They are unlikely to be chasing anyone down with. How many LE in CA still use HD ?

There are still police departments that chase criminals, thankfully. And there are still plenty that use Harleys. California makes up its own, odd rules, but obviously this bike isn't just aimed at CA police.

Not CA but we have plenty of Police departments and State Police using Harley Davidson.

One of our local police departments is actively looking at the Pan America for police use. Lighter, more nimble and quicker.

Several of the local PDs down in the Raleigh NC Triangle area have fairly large motorcycle units and I regularly see them out on patrol. As of right now they all use BMW Adv bikes, with HDs only used for parades, motorcades, special events, etc. I’m sure if HD actually came out with a Police spec’d PA, police departments would consider them as their fleet choice. (All police cruisers are always US based manufacturers and I would assume the Moto patrols would do the same, if HD actually made them available)
