I agree with all you say except I don't believe the Pan to be slow.
I can cruise all day at over 100mph [only on 'Forign' road, you understand]and pull away from most 'crutch rockets' at the lights - I even had my knee down on a track day [also posted the eleventh best time !].
I've been riding these beast for many years and average 14,000mls a year on them. Best one I've found are Ex Plod, well maintained and not too badly tuned either [they drill the baffles to allow the engine to breath more freely]. I can get an average of 50mpg in all riding conditions [long runs can return 57-60mpg] and about 280mls to a tank.
A formidable beast and greatly under rated IMOHO.
Ride safe and enjoy.
