Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special 2021

En résumé, il faut retenir ce que la première impression nous avait déjà dit : la Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special est une moto d'aventure qui fait ce qu'une moto d'aventure grande et puissante doit faire en 2021. Avec suffisamment de place pour deux, avec la possibilité de sortir des sentiers battus. Bien sûr, il est peu probable qu'elle s'attaque aux passages tout-terrain les plus sauvages. Mais grâce à l'excellente suspension électronique, ce que le pilote peut faire ou ce qu'il veut faire avec une moto de cette catégorie de poids est plus agréable pour le passager de la Harley que pour beaucoup de ses concurrentes. Et si le passager a sauté l'un ou l'autre passage de ruisseau, c'est uniquement pour prendre des photos. Et pour ne pas se mouiller les pieds. Car même l'électronique la plus moderne ne peut pas l'empêcher, mais c'est ce qui fait tout le plaisir que procurent de telles motos d'aventure. Ce n'est que lorsqu'elle est sale qu'elle est identifiée comme telle, même devant un glacier.

La nouvelle Africa Twin est arrivée exactement comme les fans l'attendaient : Bien contrôlable, peu nerveuse et une excellente compagne de voyage. Le fait qu'elle soit également extrêmement réussie sur le plan esthétique était un bonus agréable. Il n'y a donc pas de raison de changer radicalement l'Africa Twin, ce qui était bon reste bon pour la nouvelle - et beaucoup de choses ont été améliorées. Grâce à Ride by Wire, on bénéficie désormais aussi sur l'Africa Twin de modes de puissance, le contrôle de traction peut être réglé sur 7 niveaux (au lieu de 3 auparavant) et désactivé. La DCT en option est toujours une grande réussite et procure beaucoup de plaisir, mais elle coûte aussi beaucoup.
