2023 HARLEY-DAVIDSON PAN AMERICA 1250 SPECIAL – SAN DIEGO’S “GO ANYWHERE” V-TWIN ADVENTURE BIKE

7242 MILES

If your idea of a perfect day is blasting up Sunrise Highway, cutting across Palomar’s backroads, and still having enough suspension and ground clearance to disappear onto the dirt in East County, the 2023 Harley-Davidson RA1250S Pan America 1250 Special was built for that exact kind of “touring as detouring.” It’s not a cruiser pretending to be an ADV—this is a modern, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 60° V-twin adventure platform with long-travel suspension, big-road stability, and real off-pavement intent.

The vibe is simple: load it up, point it toward the coast, the desert, the mountains—then keep going when the road stops being perfect. The Pan America Special adds the premium layer riders actually want in Southern California: tech that helps when traction changes, ride modes that reshape the bike’s attitude, and the kind of ergonomics that make long freeway stretches feel like the short part of the trip.

And when it’s time to pass—whether you’re merging into fast I-5 traffic or climbing a two-lane grade—you’ve got the Revolution Max 1250 making 150 HP and 94 ft-lb, with a 6-speed gearbox backing it up.
