New HD CEO has a Plan.............

Wanted to trade it in on a PanAm. Dealer offered me 9.5k, saying nobody wanted it and wouldn't budge on the PanAm price.

The ultimate irony is that used PanAm resale prices have dropped through the floor.

Due to reliability concerns, nobody wants those.

A used V-Rod is going to be a lot more reliable than a used PanAm.

You move through the menu system using your butt.

Press down on your left or right butcheek to move the cursor left and right.
Shift backwards and press down with your tailbone to back up to the last menu.
And to select a highlighted item, you hump the front pad with your junk...

They're calling this the Joystick / Butt-On controller

Especially first year models, they had some oil delivery issues causing catastrophic engine failure. Typically happened outside warranty.

Only issue I ever had was needing a new snubber from too many hard launches. That took months to procure. Thirsty beast as well.
 
650. Should I start a thread about it? Figured nobody GAF about them.
We always care about new bikes

V rod to pan am to versys 650 is quite the journey, I got time!
 
OK. Just went motocamping for the first time, I'll tie that in.

True that.

Reserve light would go off at 150 km!

V-Rod's tank cap eventually went from 14L to 19L in 2007. A welcome change to alleviate range anxiety for those heavy-throttle-handed owners...
