Harley-Davidson has introduced its new Enthusiast Collection, a series of the American brand’s motorcycles featuring special-edition livery created to celebrate the unique stories and special interests of riders within the Harley-Davidson community. Each design will be launched annually, available in limited quantities across a curated selection of motorcycle models. The Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special G.I. is part of the Enthusiast Collection launch, as well as a Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra. Th company’s designers created a special Mineral Green Denim Deluxe paint just for the series, and military-inspired graphics.
The G.I. Enthusiast Collection is draped in Mineral Green Denim Deluxe paint, an all-new color created specifically for the launch of the new Enthusiast Collection.

The Pan America G.I. is available only as factory-installed for the Special variant, in limited quantities primarily for the U.S. market.
“The new Mineral Green Denim Deluxe paint pays homage to the Olive Drab paint used on Harley-Davidson WLA models,” revealed Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design Brad Richards. “The tank graphic celebrates the iconic white five-point star, which was used during WWII on military vehicles.”

The tank also features a stenciled ‘H-D’ and a location of Milwaukee, Wisconsin abbreviated, inspired from the spec tags found on government-issued military equipment. “The stenciled approach is a treatment often found on military vehicles as lettering was frequently done in the field. Here we’re calling out the birthplace of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company and the original WLA model,” adds Richards.
There are no mechanical changes to the bikes, and under the new livery, both the Pan America 1250 and the Tri Glide Ultra, a trike, remain the same. The Enthusiast Collection will be expanded in limited quantities across specific motorcycle models from Harley-Davidson each year. Like the first G.I. models, each entry will get special-edition paint created to honour the unique backgrounds within the Harley-Davidson community.
