Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I rode the 2022 Indian Chief and here's my impressions on why I think it's a motorcycle for everyone. Honorable mention goes out the 2022 Indian FTR 1200 Carbon that was present along with the 2022 Indian Super Chief.

Who is Bicasso:
I ride motorcycles with the full time career of being a System's Administrator. I'm like the majority - I work a lot for a living and have to find time to ride either on my commute, after work hours, on the weekend or with the two weeks vacation I get from work. A constant goal is finding a balance between working full time, riding motorcycles, creating content and being relatable to many of you out there.

If you can ride the Scout, I think you'll be okay. Similar seat height and wheel base. Also, get some boots, and maybe the reduced reach/seat options from Indian.

Awesome review.
If you pause at 47 seconds and look at the base of the cylinders you can see that little indian badge on the crank case. Those are my initials on it. Last summer I worked at the factory and did the case press where we put the bearings and that plate on the bike. After it was done we had to sign that plate. Usually the dealer peels off the little plastic sheet that is on there but they didn't this time. Glad to see my initials on this bike!

HD flooded their market with them, it's not that people don't want one, it's that they can get a used one for a lower price and make it how they want. They should have stuck to the earlier FXR frame and kept the bike just a touch smaller.

This was a solid and informative video. You sold me on upgrading from my scout to a chief.

Good review Brandon! Keep it coming!!

Great vid my friends from the south,the new bikes from THE INDIAN MOTORCYCLE COMPANY are still expanding and carving their own road for riders! That is what impresses me with every new product and is the reason they are rising above the Frey in the V-Twin market.BTW LOVE THE VIDEOS.
Excellent, in depth review, good job. If I had room for another bike I would be buying one of these. I guess I have just be happy with my 2015 Vintage.
Thanks Man. Very informative video Ride safe 🇵🇱
I am just so impressed with the design of the new generation of Indian bikes. Performance aside, sometimes being able to admire your bike lets you have just as much fun while still going the speed limit.

I rode one back in maybe 2016. Would need to ride it again.
I bought a scout bobber in 18 and I love it. I did change the bars, seat and added a rack and sissy bar. I've taken it on a couple 1500 + mile rides and have no issues at all with it. That said, I was in the Indian dealer the other day and saw a chief bobber and.... Well imma have to have one. I love the style and proportion of it. I'm not gonna get rid of my scout, but imma definitely add a chief to the collection. Thank you for your coverage of it!

Ayeeee! Lol congrats!
Really great video. Glad to see what Indian has done. I’ve got a chieftain and had a scout as well, but sold the scout because I just felt way to big for that bike (6’2” and 285lbs). Loved the scout, but it was just not big enough. This Chief looks great. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
I’d like to see the size of this bike compared to the street bob. I’m 6’2” 235 and felt the street bob fit just right. Looking at the dudes over 6 foot in this video they look like they are swarming this bike. I’m a bear on the bike when I ride my wife’s scout bobber 😂 this bike looks super nice ands tune should cool it down with more fuel to the cylinders. Great video Brandon, really enjoyed this.
Rock solid review. Everytime you review a bike my wallet screams lol. I think this 2022 Indian chief is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm going to test one out this riding season and in all likelihood with the price point pick one up. Only add on I will do right away will be the floorboards. It's like you said, that added comfort is worth it.
Definitely diggin the new Chief models for sure. That 4 in screen will be a market challenge to the other middleweight cruisers. And I think you’re right, Victory DNA is working it’s way in. I was a big fan of Victory, never rode one, always admired. Great content as always. Rain? Psh! Bicasso does it for the fans! 😂
beauty bike and great review..need more bike sound to complete a great piece

The fact that they make better air cooled bikes than Harley says a lot, I still have one year of warranty on my HD, but I cant wait to sell it and get back on Indian Scout Bobber 2021 or the Dark Chief are going to be my main choices
Yep its the new steel frame.. love the bobber darkhorse!
I was leery about getting a scout despite my love for its looks because of the goddamn forward controls. I do not feel comfortable with them. But standard mid controls, more power and a suite of electronic controls that aid in riding long term make this a super appealing option. I want it.
