Pan America Fastest in Class at Bosnia Rally 2024
Harley-Davidson in Europe ( HDEMA ) continues to ' pimp ' the success that riders are having with the Pan America - this time by Ralf " Ralle " Wiesenfeller , 52- yo from Niederkirchen , Germany , who has successfully completed the demanding Bosnia Rally ( 14 to 20 July ) for the second time on a near stock RA1250 Special . A 2022 model , the same bike that Ralf used to complete the 2022 Rally , the only change he has made from stock was to modify the footrests . A well-known internationally certified off-road instructor , who is working for Harley-Davidson , he was one of around 450 starters , only 180 of whom finished the five days of the Rally . The 1,500 km ( 930 mile ) course included steep climbs on unpaved terrain , narrow serpentines , dusty passages with deep ruts , muddy dirt roads , merciless gravel roads and rivers - where the Milwaukee built liquid-cooled 1,250 cm3 Revolution Max V-Twin proved it could survive and thrive in the company of models and brands with many decades more ADV engineering experience than Harley . The Pan America ran in the ' Big Raid Adventure ' class and , not being a Championship Rally , performance was measured by timings , and of the ten bikes in the class , Ralf brought the RA1250 home in the fastest time . Kudos Ralf , Kudos Harley- Davidson !
