Demo Rider Lost Control and Blamed Me! 2023 Indian Sport Chief Test Ride!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I FINALLY got test ride Indian Motorcycles new 2023 Indian Sport Chief! There are a few test ride videos out there but but in this I decided to compare the feeling of the ride and the quality to my Indian Scout Bobber. Is it enough for me to make the switch? Watch my test ride and short review till the end to see if I personally will make that decision.

That is a great looking bike. Definite competitor to the Low Rider S. I always park my bike in gear except when I am parked in the garage at home.
Wow that was close! I always park in gear, never neutral. Sometimes you don't notice the slight slope you've parked on. Why not protect yourself by simply parking in gear.

Good on ya! And I agree with you. Thank for watching!
It’s good to see Indian gaining more popularity, hopefully they go from strength to strength.
i dont know if you'll see this but i watched your video on the scout bobber being a good beginner bike and im sold on it. it's super clean looking and my buddy rides a Harley so i can't wait to fuck with him all the time. im going to check one out this friday.

Better than a Harley and you don’t have to worry about having a dealership every 30 miles in case you break down.
Mostly I go real close to the curb (or whatever is there to park at), then I cut my trike hard, then bottom out the front suspension with my brakes, and keeping the clutch in, the suspension rebound gives enough force to push me backwards while steering into the parking spot. Then I end up parking in whatever gear I approached in, usuallyfirst gear⚙️... The last resort is using my reverse gear. ⚖️👨⚖️⚖️ JudgeGarry
I park in neutral most of the time.. But I pay attention to the slope of where I park it, and will put it in gear if on a hill.
Depends on how I park it, for sure though I've never released a clutch while NOT mounted & knowing fully whether or not a motorcycle is in gear...what a noob.
Always park in gear. It shouldn't start with the kick stand down though
Demo days coming next month, I'm interested in riding this one. I just purchased my 2023 Bobber and already started customizing it. My wife would kill me with a same year trade in.... lol. I doubt if I'll ever get rid of the bobber, this might have to be a second bike for longer trips.
Always park in gear. But he's right, it shouldn't have started. Something similar happened to my 2022 Nighster. Always hold the clutch in now.

I own both, the FTR is great for canyon carving & commuting, the Sport Chief is great for relaxing weekend getaways with the wifey. The FTR definitely isn't built for long distance comfort, but up to 2 hours is manageable for this old man's knees lol.
I demoed the sport chief and ya that sucker got some pull to it lol the only downside I felt was it got so hot so fast anytime you catch a light your legs is burning up!!!! I’ll stay with my scout bobber for now, And I could see leaving it in neutral at demos but I always park mine in first

It's starts in gear if you pull the clutch in. He had the clutch in for a second
What a beaut of a bike! If only I had the money... I always park my bike in gear. My bike won't start unless the clutch lever is pulled and the kickstand is up. If I try to start it otherwise, the "check" notification comes up.

@@RickyBobber His fault entirely. Besides, it not like some kind of notification showing which gear it's in ISN'T showing. He straight up wasn't paying enough attention. The only real downside to my bike is the transmission is temperamental in anything under 55º. The gears sometimes hang or get caught up in neutral when going from 1st to 2nd. The bike is a 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 650. It's a damn great bike despite that annoying quirk.

I've never riden the Lowrider S but I'm an Indian Motorcycle Guy. I personally like Indian Motorcycles. You pull up to a motorcycle event and 95% of the bikes are all the same. It's just more exciting to see another Indian Motorcycle out in the wild. I also believe you get more for your money with Indian Motorcyles
Neutral. Believe it even says to do that in the manual.

That motor is not bigger than the low rider s and they don’t charge you for abs and traction control. My 2023 low rider s was $18,199 and has a 117ci motor and abs and traction control.
