I've been to the Indian factory assembly plant in Spirit Lake Iowa in the US and you could drop food on the floor and pick it up and eat it, it's that clean. Amazing assembly line that can switch between models in the blink of an eye. Almost everything is manufactured in plants all over the US and many other countries and assembled in Iowa. I love the style of the sport Chief but necessarily a fan of the flat colors (Colours for you in Britain). I had a 2016 Scout and loved the bike. It handled like ( expletive ) untill I got rid of the factory Kenda made tires and put on some Metzler ME33 Marathons and was able to take tight curves at 60% faster than the stock ones.

I've had two Indians, a Scout and a Springfield Dark Horse. Both were good to ride and had a great sense of presence. The riding position of the Scout shouted 'I own the road'. You can calm down the vibes with reiterative tuning. You need the device to log rides, adjust the tune on your computer, flash it back to the bike, then log again. It gets progressively smoother each time until you've done it 6 or 8 times. The wind on your chest is coming up beside the tank. The low pressure area caused by the windshield draws it in. You can reduce it by adding fork lowers to the forks.

Attempts like this to make US big twins sporty reminds me of Erik Buell's bikes in the 80s 90s and noughties, particularly The Lightening. He was a frustrated HD engineer who wanted to make faster, great-handling bikes and he struck out on his own in 1983. Eventually HD bought the company off him, ran it for a while then closed it down in 2009. If Superbike Factory gets a Buell in its showroom it would make an interesting classic to test for that series you've got going. There were quite common in London for a while although I never owned one. Last I heard Erik was making a comeback. The look and feel of that munter you're on makes me think Indian should have got Erik to design it for them.

“Built by burley men with spanner’s in a factory somewhere” 😂 that should be the next advertising strap line for Indian motorcycles.

I appreciate that - thank you very much! I try and point out the things that would be important to me if I were buying the bike in question (and I actively turn down invites to bike launches!)…

I know a lot of bikers love cruisers but not for me but each to their own and variety is the spice of life

Nice review, whilst I have have other bikes in the garage, my Harley softail slim is the one that I’m more often drawn to take out. Cruisers are coming into their own with regards to matching traffic and road conditions we now have in the U.K., especially considering the restrictions on speed

About five years ago when I left my GSX-R750 in for a service the dealer who are also the sole Indian suppliers in N.I. lent me an Indian scout bobber which really surprised me with the amount of power and decent handling, I'd previously ridden my friends H-D 48 which was meant to be a direct competitor but it was no contest, the Harley was gutless in comparison and handled like a barge.

Nice bike. I think this would be a good choice if I was ever in the market for a cruiser to pose on! Great review 👍

I ride a Chieftain limited. Im glad you found the little Indian beautiful! Always nice to hear some perspective from a non cruiser rider.

@korewest

Might I recommend keeping revs below 3k on your next cruiser ventures ;)

A hell of a frame to hold that huge V-Twin and obviously not a stressed member, which will be one reason why the bike vibrates. Did you know, the stressed member engine was patented in 1900 by Joah ("John") Carver Phelon and his nephew Harry Rayner, and pioneered by Harley-Davidson!

I'm seeing a lot more love for the Indian motorcycles in the past year, in fact, more than Harley Davidson. I'm not sure if others have noticed, but the new Harley Davidson Pan America looks VERY similar to the Indian range in terms of the fairing/headlights. I like the Super Chief Limited which kind of reminds me of the old American CHIPS bikes from the 80's.

I imagine that replacing the brake lines with steel braided lines would make the braking much better. 4 pot Brembos should be better than what you've experienced.

As ever, nice unbiased review… lovely bike and lovely weather … that’s my Saturday off to a good start!

My friend has the Indian Challenger Limited. I’ve ridden it a few times it’s a beautiful bike and tons of power for a cruiser. I’ve ridden most of the Harley models and they are overpriced, have good fit and finish but terrible suspension and handling, and unless you throw a bunch of money at them they lack decent passing power. The challenger is in my opinion the best “BIG” cruiser out there right now.

Nice vlog again Andy ty, agree with you on the dash that is very nice and the bike on the whole looks great, horsepower not that it's important is quoted as 89 bhp by MCN, as for the vibes it looked like you spent a lot of time in third gear it would be interesting to know if it's the same case in higher gears (dont know how many it has) and fully use the torque @120 it should pull nicely at very low revs, anyway great vid ty.

I have ridden a few of the larger touring orientated Indians and like the brand. I feel Harley Davidson are usually better finished and over in New Zealand, a better re-sale. Amongst my bikes I have a 2021 HD Sportglide 107 with stage 2 cam updates. I agree with you, the cruisers are good for the laid back rides and especially in stronger winds as the weight minimises cross wind buffeting. The group of guys I ride with are on Suzuki Hyabushas, BMW, KTMs, Triumph 765 Street Triples & Ducati so I mainly ride my R1200R or the Ducati Multistrada V2S. Like you, I enjoy taking out the 1200 Triumph Speed Twin for shorter rides in the twisties. Keep up the good work.

I’d look at changing the brake pads for something with more feel. I know someone who’s bought one in Australia and is besotted with it.

The inspiration for the Sport Chief is without doubt Harley’s own FXR series….I myself have one, and it handles quite well….Eric Buell hand a hand beefing up the frame when they were designing it. Overall it reflects the club style which Harley and Indian both are exploiting to the extent possible. Personally I like what is on offer.

It's a bit heavy for a bike advertising itself as a Sport model, but I'm used to big V-twins so for me it's not an issue, but for some smaller riders who are not used to manhandling a heavy bike it might present a problem, and probably impossible to lift if falls over. Other thing, change gear, they're smoother than the way you're riding it in low gears.

@TheMissendenFlyer

Thanks for the advice!

The brakes are set up in a manner that American cruiser riders are accustomed to. For many of them, a good strong rear brake is a must, as many Americans shun using the front brake, and with a front brake that does a very good job only when squeezed harder than on sportier bikes. Most Harleys are smoother, with less vibes, but I have always preferred the handling of the big Indians to most of the Harleys, except the Low Rider ST, my personal favorite. I am sure you will enjoy that Indian. Ride safe.

@@jamesschneider3828 That's interesting feedback James. I had a bad run with Michelin Commander IIIs (vibrated, just bad quality control from Michelin, who wouldn't answer my emails), so put a Cruisetec on the front, which was amazing. Then I ordered a Cruisetec for the rear, but during the waiting period (several months), the rear Michelin Commander III wore down to the canvas in one place (this tyre wasn't round from day one!), so I just had to replace it with a Marathon ME888 instead. Whilst I'm sure the Cruisetecs differ from the Marathon and are better, the Marathons are very good anyway and overall I'm very happy with the Metzelers. You're probably right, there's probably not a huge difference between the Cruisetec and Marathons, and price is always going to be an important part of the decision making.

I think the dark horse for me (mostly on looks)..

I think the black would look the best on a bike like this.

As a native American in the midwest, I believe that the absolute oversaturation of Harley Davidsons and even Indian motorcycles in previous years leads me towards the alternative of the R18 Roctane. I do have a riding history of BMWs, including two boxer motorbikes, but I like that they are a little less often seen if at all. Another odd reality is that BMW's R18 Roctane, which directly competes with the Road King Special, is about $6,000 USD less expensive sticker price. I can see if you are in Europe and are cosplaying as a biker dude from America it feels more authentic to go Harley Davidson or Indian, but here in America if I buy a Road or Street Glide I better have my name painted on the tank because I'd find myself accidentally sitting on a stranger's bike.

Lovely bike, as are all the Indians. Shame about the price. Ill be going Speedmaster 1200 myself and saving a wedge

Bit of a curates egg, that bike, for me. There's a lot to like - but I don't like the look of that fairing. It looks like it's sucking a lemon. And I couldn't live with that numberplate position - I'd have to devise some way of mounting it centrally, on the back of the mudguard. I'm surprised the brakes are poor. It's a heavy bike but with twin-discs and 4-pot Brembos it should stop OK. And at £20K it's in a very different price bracket to the likes of the Speedmaster, but probably up there with Harleys which I guess will be its main competition in the market. I had a quick look at accessories; putting a pair of saddlebags on it will cost over £1,500!
