Default New Pan America for 1000 subs?

I was thinking about posting on YT about buying and reviewing a Pan America once I get to 1000 subs. Before I make that commitment. I am interested in how much a 2023 costs. I looked up MSRP on Google and it shows that the model starts at $17,699 but I know that the Special is not even close to that. I saw a 2022 for over $23K at a local dealer and that was a used bike with over 2K miles on it. Since my 2019 Street Glide will be paid off in a few weeks I am looking for a new bike to play with (keeping my SGS) and figure I would use it to generate traffic on the YT page as well.

Thoughts?

So what exactly is your question? Just how much a Pan America Special is?

Kind of late. That has been done countless times already.

How do you hope to review a bike that you can’t even price out yourself?

That part doesn't happen for 99.99999999999% of YouTubers. It's like actors, a very very select few make millions and everybody else gets a tiny pittance

To put it in perspective, YouTube pays a tenth of a penny per view (on average). So when you see a video where someone got 30,000 views, then, yeah, that means that YouTube superstar sat back and collected a big fat $30.

Those videos that go viral and rack up a MILLION VIEWS?!?!? The creator might see a thousand bucks.

If someone wanted to buy a Pan America off their YouTube earnings, they'd need 25 million views of that video. Most YouTubers would be damn lucky to get 25,000 views.
