Cycle World Magazine made some serious waves last month when they released an Article Entitled 2021 Big Bore Adventure Shootout and declared the Harley-Davidson Pan America as the top Adventure Bike, displacing the BMW R1250 GS. In this episode of Behind the Bars, Mark and John interview Executive Editor on the reasons why the magazine chose the Pan America.  

So much so that the Editor himself has received some hate mail because of the article.  How could the new kid on the block show up on year one and knock BMW out of the top spot?  Read the article.
