Got a 22' Super Chief Limited. Loving it. The 2 thinks that sold me over the HDs I test rode were the 116 TS engine, which I found to be more engaging than the M8, and the 4" TFT touch screen gauge which is awesome. Thanks for the great vid! 👍

More Chief content, can't wait!

Looks like you were on Route 4 or 17 with all that traffic!!! I used to work up there many years ago in Paramus!! You're not lying about the power on that Chief especially in sport mode. Can't wait to see the comparison to your Low Rider.

Went for the 2021 Fat Bob. Better fit and finish, dealer network (Europe) is very rare here and I want as little technique as possible... always had problems with it on my bikes. But it's still a nice bike!

Good to see u back on the Chief again since AZ. I have same standard DH chief. Love the bike, but I'm not sure if Im sold on the drag bars. I'm 5'11" and its not bad but feel somewhat leaned over. I bought a Saddlemen Step up and pondering whether to do reduced reach bars, a riser (not seeing too much in after market parts)or maybe even swap out bars for the 5" mini apes that are on the Bobber to feel little more upright. Not sure if you rode the bobber yet, but any thoughts on your reach comfort level vs other bikes you have been on? Maybe its no big deal and I'm just getting used to the new positioning compared to my previous Guzzi V 9 Roamer. Thx

I’m planning to buy this bike next year. I work at a hospital and don’t want to ride to work in a loud bike so I’ll keep the stock pipes.

You're living the dream . 3 beautiful bikes and a nice house. I envy you. Would love to do what you do.

Thanks for the content its a very good looking Bike, I'll be watching.

Good video. I have a super chief limited with stage 2 and lloydz tune plus a few other extras. The suspension needs to be adjusted for your wight and style of riding. Mine was barely acceptable, then I adjusted it as per the manual and now with the shock preload properly set, it's easily an all day ride. Apparently it came adjusted for a 90 pound person lol. The tank "wobble " is due to the chief line and maby other Indians have tanks mounted on rubber gaskets. Ride safe and enjoy the ride.✌️

You might want to use the trigger on the left control pod (right next to your index finger) to cycle through the different display screens. It makes it much more easier than using the touch display.

Looks cool

Love to see some new jersey representation

Traffic there sucks ! However,the Chief looks great…air cooled too, no radiator crap. Add a good after market seat……Thx

Handles a dream! :)

Recognized the area, grew up around there

Question for you! What about the Indian chief or the Indian chief dark horse for beginners who have some time riding ?

How do you feel about the loud noise of the push rods..?

I assume the tank does that for a more “lively” feel at idle? Just a guess. My Yamaha Vstar 950 was designed without balancers in order to feel more lively and my tank shakes quite a bit and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s intentional

I got that exact same bike. You're right about that seat. I added a passenger seat so I won't slide back. I also did a stage one. I put it in sport mode and realized I definitely don't need a stage two. The thing is a beast.

Oh snap Elmwood Park! Maybe the tank is not bolted and missing a bolt and screw that's why it's loose?

All my biker friends in Germany ride a HD. So i wanted so bad a HD. Bought the Indian DH from my HD and Indian Dealer. For me there is no competition to the low rider s and street bob. But i like all the bikes and love my indian

Honestly, if you fit a touring seat of the bike you will get away with long distances. While not as comfie as a tourer, but it is very doable. I wouldn't tour on my FXLR with the stock seat, but with the HD Sundowner seat, you can ride all day. How do I know? Because I know.

Your Need to Remember But Obviously your Test Riding a BARE BONES Minimum Version of the Dark Horse. I think your wrong on the handling or the being able to go long rides, With the Twin Tube Fox Shock Upgrade rears, The 5x Different Seat Type Options & Forward Controls optionable on Purchase makes it so comfortable and Handle Awesome.

is this a good beginner bike?

Like the dark horse very much and it is in my budget I am looking for a short run Bike something to run around the hood I have a trike for long haul rides if I were to get this bike I have already talked with Corbin and Russell for the seat upgrade with a backrest I need the support.

But plz do more Indian content, its good to see what else is out there

They are made to move with a small amount of muscle, I love that they ain't fixed solid

having had 2 Indians, they do need to step up their seat game.. but if that's the worst i can say about a bike, i think i'm ok. besides, the Scout Bobber (my first Indian) is a city/hooligan bike, so the fact that the seat is terrible is forgivable. if you want more comfort on the Scout platform, the standard Scout is a better bet with the same engine.

That Chief is badass

It a updated version of the H.D. FXR.

I got mine coming in Sept. Getting rid of the 1901 logo right away. Can’t promote bullshit but non the less it’s a bad ass bike

Does it have rev limiter and top speed limits set like HD

I always hear Harley guys say fit and finish. Really? They have finish but definitely not fit with the exception of the new Sportster. The Indians are all sculpted fenders and tanks and seats matching the handlebars from front to back. Harleys are just parts bolted to a frame with no thought other than the logo on the tank.

So I’m either getting the 23 Chief darkhorse or the sport Chief.. the darkhorse I’m gonna spend some money on first upgrades such as fox piggyback shocks, forward controls , new seat,

Can the tach and speed be seen t the same time

Went to an Indian dealer today & I mentioned the gas tank moving & his response was basically, the tank moving is a good thing being rubber mounted because over the yrs that you’ll be riding it it’ll last longer with the wear that a motorcycle would go thru as opposed to it being on tight & not moving all the metal on metal contact would start to wear on the tank. Idk about you but that answer seemed like BS, you’d be more knowledgeable on this, what’s your take?

I noticed on the temperature guage it was at 50 degrees , how is the heat coming off the rear cylinder head ?

Got a 2022 CDH, my tank is rock solid, I would guess that one of the rubber mounts is missing or not installed corectly

I would have to take one out, but I think the Sportster S might be just be a little in front. Same price, better tech package (but not by much) ,tighter handling and a newer engine. The advantage to the Chief is that it is easier to set up for distance touring while the Sportster S is a nightmare. If that bike had the Challenger engine in it I would not own a Sportster S. The issue I have with both bikes is that the Bobber styling on the rear limits touring customisation. I don't think either are perfect but for a city with winding hills surrounding it within 30 minutes ride in any easterly direction, the Sportster S is better. If I was two hours away from the fun stuff I would definitely consider the Chief.

Chieftain tanks move the same gives it a sense of feeling cheap

Indian's got the leg-up on Harley for liquid-cooled, mid-sized bikes. But for heavier cruisers like this? I'd take a LRS any day over the Chief Dark Horse. The only thing the Dark Horse has over the LRS is the Ride Command features and display but that's just not enough to compete with the LRS IMHO.

Ride both and see which has better handling and more enjoyable ride. Own both and see which is a better owner and maintenance experience. A race? Why is HP number (not even the hp/tq curve on a graph, just a single number which tells nothing) and quarter mile time the only metrics guys use to buy a bike? Might want a Japanese or Euro bike if you’re going for fastest. These are most enjoyable to ride all around, and the Chief 116 rips hard.

It doesn't make sense that tank is loose like that. I'm sure it needs to be tightened up.

Sad thing when bike manufacturers make seats for the bike, not the rider. I realize the bike is always the same and that each rider is different, but come on, they can do better.

the bolts on the back of the tank are loose

🥳Beautiful bike with dancing tank🌞 Greetings from Baku Azerbaijan🇦🇿🎊

Having a loose tank is definitely a no purchase for me. The bike looks great, but that feature is a “no go” for me. I was considering buying it, but now I have definitely changed my mind simply because of that defective feature!!! Thank you for the honest evaluation.

Fit and finish just aren't as good as an HD. Looked at a chief bobber last year. Beautiful bike especially in the ruby red. Looked at the 21 HD street bob. Ultimately bought the street bob. Also I only have 1 Indian dealership in my state. I have 3 HD dealerships. More support from HD. I wish maybe in the future you could do a video on the chief bobber. That would be cool. Nice video as always 👍.

How good is the Indian chief? It’s a superb machine. Id buy a dyna over a chief though.

When Buying a Indian Darkhorse you the Option of 3 Different Rear Shocks as well as a Host of other Options will make all the Negatives things you mention almost Not existent

Indians are cool but if you have an issue or need a part etc they are expensive as hell since something like 50% of motorcycles are Harley or Japanese its way cheaper and easier to find parts and get things fixed. Especially outside the states, here in Japan god forbid you have an issue with an Indian its game over or a huge dent in your wallet. They look badass as hell and fun though. That tank moving is scary as hell lol.
