Heavy: at over 700lbs (318kg) she is heavy and a bugger at slow speeds because the weight is very high. But once she's moving there's no problem.
Ugly: yeah, but so is my Deauville and I love her too
Slow: If cruising at 100mph and a top speed of 145mph is slow, then yes. She's not the quickest, but, she's comfortable and smooth at whatever speed you want and (given the right circumstances) can see off sports bikes in the twisties
Ridden by old men: mostly yes. But not me...............
But in the right hands she's no slouch, with a beautiful engine that just goes and goes and goes. Surprises a lot of sports bike riders
Don't be fooled by the Pan's image. If they are good enough for police forces around the world, they must be good. She's no GSXR or R1, but you can have just as much fun playing with the 'Power Rangers'! Ride one and decide for yourself.
