Neat but pricey. I think I read in the CycleWorld piece that it's a $1,000 option...
If you have short legs I bet the price will not bother most buyers.
Both of us paid $1,000 for the ABS option on our 1991 K75S bikes.

Looking at the specs I was surprised to see the R1250 has more torque.
The Adaptive Ride Height that lowers the bike at a stop is a neat option.
I wonder if Harley might accidentally have some in Daytona for test rides at bike week. If so i might just be tempted to take one for a spin.
If the Pan America 1250 is as good as the spec sheet suggests, I think the GS/GSA is facing it's biggest threat ever here in the US. It's also competitively priced and has huge dealer network here. Heck, it might be a decent threat overseas. I hope it is. Competition is always good.
The problem as I see it is the typical Harley rider doesn't want and adventure bike, and if they did they would own one already.
My bet it will not sell as well as the V-Rod.
I don't think this new bike is aimed at the typical Harley rider, just as the typical rider doesn't want an 850+ lb. Harley cruiser. The new bike is there to attract new riders to the Harley brand.
BMW's problem with R12GS and GSAs is BMW, and their lack of dealerships.

Here is Kevin Cameron's take on the Pan America.
I think if the market can live with the looks, people are going to like this bike. Automatic lowering option, hydraulic adjusted valves.

I was wondering if the fasteners are metric on this bike.
