I love that bike. Just curious, what were your previous bikes?

I just booked a test ride, and watching answered all of my questions. A good review of the bike, thank's.

I was a Harley lover when I was a small boy( because the name Harley is familiar around the world) . But now I like Indian more than Harley as because of it's quality . I will buy Indian chief dark horse in future.

I own one and I like it a little bit more each and every time I hop on it. I almost bought a Scout and decided to try out a bigger bike to see what it was about. COMPLETELY different worlds, the Scout and the Chief. I was in awe at how different the two were. So glad I didn't go HD.

I love mine. I have the stage-3 116 big bore and extended the "Murdered" look with smoked windshield, LED headlight and turn signals. So much power.

Just picked up a 2019 Chief Dark Horse. It’s a great ride!

Totally agree! Came from the Indian Bobber. Awesome bike, just couldn't handle the seat or suspension. Gentle giant is a perfect analogy for the Chief.

The only thing I heard...."Beats the Road King hands down.."😂😂 I love it. That's why I bought one. Tribe baby.

Really considering upgrading from my scout sixty. Need to get out on a dark horse. I like the scout so much as it is and Indian has completely blown me away. They are beautiful machines. Thanks for makin this review!

When Polaris debuted Victory they out handled and out braked HD. They slowly began eating into what HD had always assumed to be their exclusive market segment. I think this was one of the main reasons HD changed their touring frames and along with increasing emissions regulations, spurred the creation of the Milwaukee eight engines. Without direct competition HD would still be building the same old bikes.

Justin, I didn’t make it through the break in period on my scout. I immediately traded up for a 2019 Chief Dark Horse. I took a pretty big hit but regret NOTHING! I saved myself thousands by buying chieftain take off slip ons, adding the hard bags from a Springfield and slapping the freedom works windshield. People always mistake it for the Springfield and are shocked when I tell them it’s just the Chief. You won’t regret it once you get it on the highway. Just a bit of advice if you make the switch; Get a Captain Itch’s crotch cooler. Save your stones from the heat of the rear cylinder and header.

I like it too but and think this is my favorite of the Indian lineup. I would add oilcooler, heated grips, passenger seat and pegs, mustache engine protector, and saddlebags for a complete packet.

Own one love it, came off of a Electra glide. Indian dived all the complaints I had with my Harley.

I've only found one way to describe as accurately as possible, what it's like riding my Indian Roadmaster... it's like riding a unicorn.

I’m thinking really hard about picking up the brand new vintage dark horse. I come from street bikes so this is a new style of riding for me.

Best review of this bike 👍

Thanks for reminding me why I want the darkhorse. I was already planning on getting it. Plus I am coming from a naked sport bike z900. First bike too. But I want something a little less crotch rockety and a little more grrrr. This should fit the bill, with the stage 3 upgrade.

Great review.

Great video and review. Well done! Never rode one but so far always heard good things. Couple of points don't quite agree with though. #1 the dealer network is nothing compared to say Harley Davidson. Actually about 7-1. Hopefully that will increase over time but for now not so great. #2 Polaris owns them and basically brought the Indian brand up from the ashes to where no one else could before and did a stellar job of it. That being said, we saw them kill off Victory in one quick stroke a few years after acquiring Indian. Neither of which has shown a profit. (Arguably the parent companies massive powersports sales are funding the endeavor) I'd be afraid that with overall motorcycle sales declining in all markets that Polaris will soon tire of the red ink and cease production without warning. From that point of view they don't look so attractive.

Victory lost over $100 million in 18 years. The reason Polaris focused on Indian is because its sales exploded. Granted, they need to make smaller and less pricey bikes, but HD is in MUCH worse shape in every way. By the way, the only reason HD still exists is because of government money and protection. When a company asks for big daddy government to come save their butts, that's essentially an admission of business failure - which HD has been since the AMF days, propped up by money stolen from the taxpayers and unfair tariffs. At least Indian had the dignity to die in 1953 without running to the government, then bragging about "staying in business since 1903." what a load of crap.

Beautiful country side to ride in no matter what you're on.

My dream bike atm

wow nice boulders around the area

Triumph thunderbird llt is better or indian dark horse. Which is big and best.

Indian needs to tuck the wiring inside the bars, like HD. Makes the view from the cockpit look so much cleaner. Seems like a small thing. But it’s what you’ll be looking at all the time you’re riding.

The new Fat Boy 114 has substantially more power, and lower weight than the Dark Horse. 86HP 107TQ 700lbs fully loaded vs 74HP 100TQ 736lbs empty weight. The Fat Boy maybe more expensive, but it also has an LED Headlamp, and standard oil cooling. Both of which indian does not give you. Thats 720$ plus labor, if you want those features. The new fat boy also has a very unique set of wheels. They're very expensive to make, because they're CnC machined out of cast aluminum, and they're then polished. They're 2500$ a set. The Fat Boy also has the Showa Dual Bending Valve front end, which is better than the Indian Fox OEM front forks. Fat Boy has an adjustable rear Show monoshock, and the Dark Horse as a Fox rear mono shock. Indian's accessories are much more expensive than Harley as well. For example if you want a Sissy bar Setup with a sport rack, you're gonna be paying 550$ from Harley, but 970$ from Indian. Stage 1 pipes, tuner, and KN filter from harley will be 920$, Stage 1 Pipes, airbox, no tuner device(they only give you a dyno run map), is 1400$ from indian. Depending on endcaps. So you're paying a lot more for a stage 1 for your Indian. Highway bars? 220$ for the standard one or 280$ for the mustache one from Harley. Indian is charging 410$ for their standard high way bars. Heated Grips? 280$ from Harley, 310$ from Indian. ect. ect. In the features and cost of ownership, the Fat Boy wins.

It's easy to see why a new brand like Victory wouldn't make it far competing with Harley. But Indian? Yeah. They're converting die hard Harley fans in record numbers and they've only revamped the brand in the 'oughts. And if Harley execs keep doing stupid things like laying off half their workforce and blaming current Prez because he gave the company MORE money through tax cuts, well, that will turn even more people away and may also be an indicator of other bad business decisions in the future. I'm not hating on Harley, but if I had the money, I'd definitely be buying stock in Polaris.

Just to be clear, Polaris didn't scrap V because it wasn't viable, but after buying Indian rights, it wouldn't make sense for them to own 2 companies competing with each other.

I fwlt cool because I have it in Crew 2.😂😂😂

Great vid, outstanding bike! You seem to feel comfortable on this bike, so may I ask how tall and heavy you are? I AM about 6'2" and 142 kg heavy (Guess that would be AROUND 317 pounds, or so). Would I feel comfortable on that bike? I AM also a rookie rider, and I LOOOOVEEE American style bikes, ESPECIALLY THE NOISE THEY MAKE AT IDLE! It's like BEAUTIFUL music, accompanied by that BEAUTIFUL ground trembling when you're standing next to One running in neutral! It almost gives me multiple orgasms! It's beautiful!

Good review but could stand a few less sound effects.

My teenager helped me with the editing, the new ones have much less!🤣

Anybody notice he says 'waah paaw' at 5:51?

So sad that the Indian Chief Dark Horse costs 25.600 USD in Portugal... This would be the one, if it wasn't that expensive... :(
