I Want to Ride This Naked Harley-Davidson Pan America So, So Bad

Harley's Pan America has always struck me as a blank canvas. Not because the Motor Co. didn't throw the kitchen sink at it to begin with, but because the bones of this bike are so strong, you could do almost anything to it to make it truly your own. 

Obviously, it's meant to be a long-distance cruiser and off-road hellion, but there are just so many other avenues you could take if you have the time, resources, and the patience. And one path, one I never could quite understand why Harley didn't take right off the get-go, was that of a naked, streetfighter-esque naked sport bike. I mean, come on, the proportions and big motor just scream naked superbike ala the Ducati Streetfighter or KTM Super Duke R. 

Maybe Harley's future CEO will finally make it from the factory?
