I also checked the SC out at Bike Week. I think I will get one in 2025 for a 70th BD present to myself. FWIW, they claim low 20's price.

We'll see about price. So many people have responded positively to the bike in Daytona, that I think the price will go up by the time it's ready for production. I've already heard rumblings about the price hitting $25K.

They'll have to put a much quieter exhaust on it, cover the exposed drive chain and hopefully, put a protective guard in front of the radiator before it hits the market.

I already know what changes I'd make when I get one. Hard bags, a Mustang Wide seat, more comfortable handlebars and a more colorful (but not gaudy) paint job.

I see this as the bike the MoFoCo should have built, instead of the V-Scrod. Sometimes, the corporate weenies at Hardly-Ableson excel at shooting themselves in the foot.

I wonder if a set of bags from an FXRT would go right on?

All those bikes look so boring. This is what they need to do and it is probably going to be cheaper than what they do already

The 47 Ronin. That must have been a fun project to work on. I don't mind the cruiser but this bike really scratches my itch. There an ointment for that?

Beauty pageant winner, no. Engineering oddity, for certain. The Vincent 4 bar front end along with an old YZ ish fork mounted radiator. What can I say? It's beauty is it's weirdness. To Each there own though.

I was watching a video of the FXR guys over at H-D turning a Pan America into a "performance touring bike."

The opening line in the video description says: "FXR Division transformed their 2022 Pan America Special into a one-of-a-kind, mold-breaking custom build."

So as I'm watching it I keep thinking it looks somehow familiar ... Then it hits me: this is TOTALLY a ripoff of the Buell Super Cruiser!

Take off the fairing and everything from the seat to the handlebars to the gas tank. So much for their "one-of-a-kind, mold-breaking custom build."

Sad thing is while the Pan Am is rapidly becoming a flagship bike for H-D the Buell still has 25hp on it...

Some screenshots from the video below.













FWIW, if I'm ever in the market for this kind of bike, I'd definitely buy the Buell Super Cruiser!

Heavy 18; can you post a link where I can see that video?

I'm pretty infatuated with the Buell Super Cruiser and I'd like to see the MoFoCo's version.

I'd also like to post it on the XL Forum, so people there can see it.
