Youre info on the engines, design, reliability and working on them is great for us bikers who are poor and cant afford dealer servicing. Many of us working class bikers use them for getting to work, especially in cities where traffic jams and vcost of cars means riding to work. I rode a 1955 BSA A10 pre unit 650 twin nearly 20 miles each way in winter with iron head, magneto ignition. It was so enjoyable to ride and so beautiful. The old 1930s to 1950 Indians are beautiful and the Henderson bikes the highway patrol used in the early 1930s truely were amazing. The FTR is nice too.

I tried a 1600 thunderbird Triumph. Such a comfortable, well made and so under rated. For me its a great, reliable, torquey parallel twin. Im surprised it didnt sell more especially in USA as its perfect for long distances. Stick it in top gear and it was great. The screen is great too for shielding rider vfrom rain, cold. A true bargain.

Yeah, still scratching my bits about the renaming of Washington's NFL team. There were virtually no red guys on the team. Call it the Blackskins or the Whiteskins. Grayskins?

You just voiced over indians video

Indian makes a beautiful motorcycle.

I own an HD, but my next bike will be an Indian Springfield.

Victory motorcycles are great - I'm glad I'm not sheep amongst the wolves - The lone Ranger rides on to VICTORY!

People like things that break

That cam swap isn’t as significant as with a Harley Davidson.

Go woke, go broke.

What will indian change its name to when they get pressure like some sports teams? As for why victory failed? No marketing. No dealership network. Cheap components.

Scout bobber was a slam dunk. It’s what got me interested in the brand. Everything about that bike dripped with badassery. I wish the new chief bobber was as bad ass but it isn’t. I still liked it enough to buy one though. Thunderstoke fo lyfe

I absolutely love my Super Chief. I like HD bikes but couldn't care less about the whole HD culture thing. Herd mentality is what I see but to each his own. Long live Indian Motorcycle!!!

I would like to see Dirt Bikes and an Adventure Bike… The adventure bike market is one to pay attention to as many of my friends bought BMW GS motorcycles and love them. Not to mention Polaris engineering could really help to make it more than just an INDIAN brand version, but an innovator of the Adventure genre..

I’m getting the FTR mini for my 6 year old granddaughter… I ride a Chief Dark Horse, she wants to be like her Pop Pop… I do believe in options as well, and the EV market is inevitably growing.. But I would also like to see Indian expand into different markets such as Dirt Bikes, Adventure Bikes and of course EVs. I’m already old and will be riding V twins till I die, but that doesn’t mean every one has to…

why not just have the govenor deleted

I still own my vrod night rod edition as of 2024 it's an amazing machine but theirs alot of Harley haters because the motor was built by Porsche

Ok first I like the work you do your awesome. I'm team Indian but before I made the change i rode HD for decades. Just for a little info most hardcore hd riders would say you don't own a Harley because a vrod is not a real Harley. Just giving a little different perspective. Keep up the great work, I respected your mechanical guts from the git 😎👍🏽 long live Indian!

Part of the reason was Obama Hussain killed the economy so bad that it stopped dealership expansion stopped in its tracks.

Well I traded the Scout for a Chief Vintage and could no be happier.The bike is well balanced and handles really well.even at slow speeds you don't notice the weight.Great bike.I'm 72 now and still going strong!

Thank you for your service

George Hendee's mother was a native American

I love my Indian. People forget that Harley was under many owners too. Like the AMF years. Yuck.

I’m Native American and own an Indian motorcycle..if anything natives should be proud name is something referring to Something beautiful

Any different from: Mazda, Nova, Apache, - strength!

Indian used to make outboard motors for boats.. Have you seen the picture advertising it.. Have a look it's different

I'm as liberal as they come and I have zero issues with the Indian brand name. It's iconic and historic! And I'm proud to own two : an FTR Carbon and Pursuit.

I'm happy to own one. An absolut beast. 30000km running without any issues. Flying with 240kmh on the Autobahn is just insane. I love it.

The original founders said, "There is nothing more Americans than an Indian." This is why they named it Indian.

You did a good job with these Indian history videos Brandon! Polaris/Indian should be proud of You and should seriously consider You for their spokesperson. Gj Sir

Just picked up a 2012 Vic Cross Country Tour with 11k miles. Love the bike. Intend to ride it for years to come.

Great video! Agreed! Would love to see a Powerplus 108 based sportbike.

Victory never gaslighted or nickle and dime their customers to death. Harley is not a Motorcycle Company, it's a Cult. And they have convinced their subjects that rent money is better spent on that useless piece of Chrome that's going to make the Bike look better. I'm saving up for a Road Glide 3 as we speak!

Poor business decision,victory bikes are better than Harley

I own an '08 Victory Hammer. No Harley I could have purchased would get as many compliments as my Victory.

The Woke & Lefties are destroying America and its History. Time to put a STOP to It

Victory made great bikes, it's a shame they didn't survive

Lloydz tune dumps the governor

Victory was Polaris' biggest marketing blunder

They are both loosing.

Hope they bring back Victory.

I want this upgrade with the Lloyds Tune / flash. Just waiting for the 2 year warrantee to be up on her.

Kiddddddddddssssssss

Indians cams are very mild. Needs more.

0:08 the newer engines must have been air cooled, my 2000 v92c se was oil cooled as they called it. i didn't notice the victory vision in your vid.

Why did you stop making videos? Are you alive?

What happened to you? Are you still alive? Did you just quit RU-vid?

With the new movements of Indigenous Aborigines (black Americans aka authentic Native Americans) and the black Hebrews of Israel(authentic Jews). We have now found out that His-story never really tells the truth, just what they want everyone to believe. We now know that there was time that white Americans could pay a small fee of $5 and be labeled as Indian. I am new to motorcycles and want a grand touring bike that I can ride from coast to coast without issues. Doing the little research that I have done about the history of blacks and motorcycles, I didn't find anything of note about Black's riding Indian motorcycles. From my research the choice bike to ride was Harley Davidson. Which it's whatever, I still love the look of the Chieftain Dark Horse just as much as the Street Glide Special both all black. Where the gap widens is the network of dealerships for Indian motorcycles are by far outnumbered by HD dealerships. Which would prove big if there were an issue on a long road trip, chances are you'd be closer to a HD dealership than an Indian dealership for service. New subscriber.

I’ve had my Vegas low for 3years it looks better than a Harley and yes people still ask what’s that so I take the time to explain that it’s way better than any Harley and probably has more power than most of them 😂 and it and it always starts only problem I’ve had with it the voltage regulator packed up and cooked the battery so the bike should gave me a new voltage regulator for it free of charge I just had to pay for half of the cost for a new gel battery..I love my bike ❤

Even though I agree that it’s happening to some extent, I have no desire to see more styling cues from Victory go into Indian. Polaris needs to be Indian with Indian, if that makes any sense.
