It boasts five-spoke, cast-aluminum wheels with a minimized fender at the front. Above the rear wheel, the wide exhaust pipe reaches upward, and the rider’s seat floats solidly for an optimal ride. The sharply angled turning fork is inverted and features aluminum triple clamps and spring pre-load adjustability. At the front, the headlight and the wind deflector have geometric styling. The Pan America™ 1250 is exclusively available in Vivid Black, and this corresponds with black trim from front to rear for a dramatic look.
