2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Pan America – First Look
Pricing starts at $28,399
Confirming our initial report, Harley-Davidson announced a new CVO Pan America as part of its 2024 range, adding an adventure model to its high-end Custom Vehicle Operations lineup for the first time.
The CVO Pan America comes with a custom Legendary Orange with striping and a #1 graphic in Atlas Silver set against a black Raven Metallic. The radiator guards, headlight guard, subframe and seat stitching are in a similar orange color, giving a burst of color against the otherwise dark shades.
Harley-Davidson also equipped the CVO Pan America with a Screamin’ Eagle quickshifter, auxiliary LED lighting, an aluminum skid plate, tubeless laced wheels, and aluminum side and top cases.
While CVO models typically have a larger engine than their equivalent regular production models, the CVO Pan America is powered by the same 1252cc Revolution Max engine as the Pan America 1250 Special. The DOHC engine with variable-valve timing produces the same peak performance figures as the non-CVO model, claiming 150 hp at 8,750 rpm and 95 lb-ft. at 6,750 rpm.
Like the Pan America 1250 Special, the CVO model comes with semi-active suspension, selectable ride modes, and a touchscreen display. The innovative Adaptive Ride Height system also comes standard.
The 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Pan America retails for $28,399, an increase of $8,400 over the Pan America 1250 Special.

They are just using the CVO plate to make a bunch more. It should at least make more power. These things take a huge hit on trade. A used one is a great deal. This is really nothing more than cosmetic changes.
Harley-Davidson engineers gave me a minor revelation, back when the Pan America debuted. They justified dropping an ADV to all the skeptical journos with a simple statement, "We're a Touring Motorcycle company. ADVs are Touring motorcycles, so we made an ADV."
I never knew how much the ADV market paralleled the basic Touring/Bagger market, but it's obvious once you realize how closely the prices and amenities match up, and how rarely ADVs actually go off road. It's basically two different flavors of the same rider, the guy with a long way to go and a lot to bring.
Harley-Davidson is a buffet for this rider! Heritage Softail, Low Rider ST, Road King, Street Glide, Road Glide, all the Ultras and Trikes and now the Pan America, distance riders eating REAL good over here... If they can afford it.
