Saw this out front my office building the other day. Awesome looking. Even has the motosickle version of HOTAS. Not sure I could ride these 21st century bikes. What does something like this cost?

Looks like it’s an H-D Pan America with quite few added accessories…which would run up the $$$ well beyond the prices depicted below. @ChuckMK23 is the resident adventure bike dude…maybe he’ll chime in. I’m thinking the one you posted with all those accessories would easily be at or above $25K…

HD Pan America! It's their fairly recent move to the adventure market. 550 lbs and 120+ HP. Very popular. Digital controls for suspension, traction, and ABS. 25k ish! Competes directly with BMW GS.

Test rode some new 2023 Indians at a local Indian dealership today…Scout Bobber, Scout Rogue, and Chief Bobber respectively…

Overall, the Indians seem to operate more smoothly than the new 2023 H-D Sportster S, Street Bob, and Fat Bob that I have test ridden.

BONUS PIC…wore my vintage 145.022-71 Moonwatch…

They specifically told me prior to the test rides at the Indian dealership today that the channeling of an inner Evel [Knievel] was strictly prohibited.

You've obviously been influenced by your last squadron Ground Safety Officer and his monthly motorcycle club meetings.

I say dream big.

You asked for it, with that helmet.

Nice choice- I'm not a rider, but I've always liked the look of Indian motorcycles. Probably what I'd get if I ever became a rider.
