2018 Indian Roadmaster First Ride 

Great review! I have this bike and just wanted to let you know that the brakes require a "break-in" period. After a couple hundred miles, they set in rather nicely. One other thing that was left out was the vents on the leg moldings. There are vents that you can open to help alleviate some of the engine heat, but that is only effective when you are moving. In an urban environment you spend a lot of time stopping and starting, so the heat can build up then, but again, nothing that can't be handled.

I just got my Roadmaster 2018 Thunder Black seven days ago. I agree all you said after my first 1000 km. This will be a brilliant season.

Thanks Motonewbrider - love your reviews. as for the new sound for 2018 it sounds like they just tuned it to the key of Harley

Ha! Nice review. I'm one of those lucky folks who gets to live stateside where it's nice and warm, like, California. It's kind of smoky r/n but in summer it gets warm. Fun fact: bikes in CA are allowed to lane split partly so that the engines on the air-cooled bikes don't overheat. Come and visit us next year, take a ride from LA to Grand Canyon or something.

Love the video. I traded my 2015 Indian Chief Vintage in on this model and colour. Absolutely love the Roadmaster. I personally think the brakes are fine and have stopped the bike very quickly when needed. Power is sufficient although I am getting the 116 ci upgrade but only because it was a deal with the bike..saved $7k with it thrown in....cant wait for the instal

I test rode the Indian Springfield today. I liked it and didn't notice the brakes were under performing but I agree the power was not quite as much as I thought it would be although was plenty for me. Living in Southern California, you can't get crazy anyway. It was plenty warm today but I did not notice the heat off the motor as much as I do with my Kawasaki Vulcan 1700. Good review...thank you.

I love my 2017 Roadmaster. I have stage 1 and Indian's stage 2 with a tuner and it's perfect. Mine is the Burgundy Metalic with tan seats that I swapped for.

Love the review and the looks of this bike. Will be trading my 13 street glide

I test rode a 2016 Roadmaster. Handling is amazing for the size of the bike. Been offered good deal on brand new one which I am seriously thinking about!

Hey you're actually getting good at this....glad I stuck around.,😂Beautiful bike just way out of my budget range. I'd be interested to know what you consider "warm weather". Cheers

Thanks for the review!

Awesome review and well done for doing another Indian motorcycle. I wonder if the dealership let you on the classic F1 Norton if they got one. That be another awesome review or a really classic Norton cafe racer or the Triumph Norton mix Triton. You never know they might say yes, can but dream. If you ever get the chance of trying a suzuki RGV GAMMA V4 500cc two stroke that put the cat amongst the pigeons. Yamaha version was RD V4 500 YPVS LC. Both V4 engines really really nutter bikes noisy vibration oily smoking even for being 30yrs old really quick. Why do i love harley Davidson motorcycles because of those reasons bags of character. You might be able to inform your generation of these classic two stroke motorcycles which where banned for being too much fun and maybe a little bit dangerous. Just had to mention that because you do brilliant reviews and vlogs just wondering what your generation think and compare on the motorcycles your dad's or grandads rode. Motonewbs classicycle view. Great work hope you enjoying your new job.

Dude first off great job on this channel But I stay in india so it gets really hot here especially such a big motorbike like an Indian roadmaster

That thing purrs ! Tried a scout and did love it . Nice one

Very,very nice...so when are you going to trade in your bike for a Roadmaster Elite??.

I like the engineered patina on the gauges!

Seem 2018 sound like my 2017 limited without the cat on stock pipes. I like how they move the controllers closer to your thumbs. 2017 is quite a bit of reach on some function.

I sat in a 2016 model recently and the clutch was very stiff - is that a problem generally? I really want one but slightly worried about dealership back up and getting lumbered with something I can't sell on.

Love that bike,

I'd like one but would Stage 1 it as you said 😎💪👍

I just went to Indian for their demo ride weekend yesterday..2nd time I've gone. I really like the look of all their bikes,more so than Harleys. Once I get the money,the Scout Bobber will be mine lol

Very nice! I would like to buy one!

Solid review, Shaw's HD better give you an assistant, too.

I think the Dark horse is a better look for you!

Dude! Your on the wrong side of the road.... Just kidding. Great bike love the details of it.

I Own every Indian as well as every Harley I am partial to Indian jus for the class and smotheness

Hey mate, Do you know when we can expect an iron 1200 review?

Wow,cool bike

Crotch heat deflector flap for Indian Motorcycle

Great review.. #twodigbysoneindian

monster bike

No more red kill switch button...yahoo. What I love about an Indian motorcycle is that it's not a Harley.

Indian 😎

LOLOL just had the best idea - have 37 gallons worth of 3d printed gas tanks fitted into the paniers(storage bags) and hook them up the main fuel tank somehow lol, go for a 3,000 mile ride hahahah

They should have called it Routemaster! As big as a bus!

Yes it's very nice but no one points out that both the handle bar control cases are made of plastic. Why Polaris, Why. Design with some good metal that is chromed and charge me more if you have to but plastic.....really? Also, the rear passenger floorboards not only go up or down in three positions but they will also cant one bolt hole like on the Victory's.

Try victory cross country next time

That music has a pulse that gives me headache. Good video otherwise.

If only Harley had these extra features on their tourers

Well now..... this is rather treasonous.

I do not know why panniers sounds gay rather than saddle bags and trunk.

Horrible camera movement

well made bike but IMO :ugly.

Another gay guy in a motorcycle 🏍️ from england or australia

Too much yap and not enough brap. You talk waaay too much. You just never, ever give it a break. Very irritating, couldn't take anymore. Toodles.
