James L Agreed. Solid bike. The new generation GoldWing in DCT version in Sport mode is amazing. V-Twins are about culture too. I get the tactile feel of these bikes and why people love them. But nothing holds a candle to a silky smooth and reliable Gold Wing. They handle like nothing else either.

I'm a shorter rider (clocking in at around 5'5 on a good day) and I am amazed at how I'm able to stand up an Indian Touring compared to Harleys touring line. The weight distribution is perfect. I personally am on a 2019 Softail low rider and love it. But one day, I may be trying to pick up a Dark horse to add to the stable. Great review!

Thank you for talking about the features like bags, gas, seat, etc. a lot of reviews just talk about the ride but this is the first that I see that talks a lot of what you notice once you own a bike. I don’t know that I will ever go back to Polaris (4 bikes in the past) but this is the first bike that even has me thinking I want to test ride. Again thanks for talking about the features and differences in models and vs Harley.

I now ride a 2019 Harley Road Glide Ultra with a 114 engine, Woods cam, Fuel moto mufflers, Fulsac head pipes, dyno-tuned Power Vision, Screaming Eagle Ventilator air cleaner. I took a test ride on the 2020 Indian Challenger base model in sport mode. The 108 engine accelerates so much harder from 3,500- 4,000 RPMs than the 114 engine in my Harley. In my opinion, the paint job on my Harley looks so much better than any Challenger that Indian makes or any of the Indian big twins. The seat is so much plusher on my Road Glide Ultra and comfortable too vs the Challenger seat or even the Indian Road Master. The switches on all of the 2020 Indians look so much cheaper made vs the switchgear on my Harley. Even with Rhinehart mufflers installed on the Challenger, the exhaust sounds so much better on my Harley. I still own a 2015 Victory XCT too.

My current ride is a 2015 roadmaster. I had been wanting to test ride a challenger. I did a couple of weekends ago at Barber Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. This year makes 50 years riding on the highways. I was stunned at the power this bike has. It handles great for the size and extras on the bike. I left there in touring mode. Brought it back in touring mode. I get comments all the time on my roadmaster, plus, I'm the only Indian in this little whistle stop town I live in. Got my wife a can am LT or whatever it is, she loves "Paddy" as she named it. Also have a honda shadow 750. I rode a 1980 goldwing until 2014. Then got a roadking HD that was really maxed out on chrome and a mild stage one upgrade. Great handling and riding bike, but that old goldwing would outrun it on top end. Then my son totalled it out. He only broke his big toe. I asked him if he knew how lucky he was. My roadmaster is bone stock. It is the best handling big bike I've ever slung my leg across. The, that challenger test ride, I was really impressed. But, not quite enough to get rid of Kowaliga. My roadmaster's name, given by my wife.

I've had water cooled in the past and really liked it, looks like Indian/Polaris did a nice job of integrating it, not real big on the plastic looks behind the power plant though. Really at a crossroads of putting money into engine build on my 07, or going new with a larger stock power plant. Nice review Hegshot Rides !!!Thanks

The base model has a good price, the limited and dark horse are over priced. Even after factoring in adding back the missing features; you cannot add in the special cornering ABS. However once you are done adding back what is missing the cost difference is still very high as in they are charging way too much for cornering ABS. Odd they use the Bosch setup but don't have hill assist brakes. Remember Harley charges less than 1k for their version of the same ABS (lean protection/etc) Sorry, nothing lightweight about an 840 lb motorcycle. Base model has 5.25 inch speakers. The upgrade on Indian's website upgrades this model as well as the upper model sounds to have a nine band equalizer support.

As far as, "noise", I've never seen a YT video that didn't make the clunking sound on any bike, when shifting gears. Also, the fairings don't look that big in person. I've also noticed, many reviewers only talk about the Dark Horse or the base model. There's also a non-dark horse that has all the bells and whistles. It comes in metallic ruby and a gorgeous blue color as well as black, all with a gloss finish.

Cable clutch all day I dont like hydraulic it’s unnatural & the challenger only gets the little motor not the thunder stroke also the motor looks plastic to me vs a Harley but challenger feels lights not as top heavy just feels lighter than a road glide

Yes, it has bluetooth easy to connect. I also added GPS to mine and it works great ($500). It is a very enjoyable motorcycle to ride.

I LOVE Indians, they are my dream bike and I was really excited about this bike until you said it didn't have a heel shifter!? All the other stuff and no heel shifter!?
@jimtomstimpson1477
@jimtomstimpson1477 4 года назад
Yes , they make you but the heel portion of the shifter but it's not a deal breaker for me. Waiting on my new Roadmaster to arrive. Heel shifter will be installed before it leaves the dealership.

Not standard on HDs anymore either (except CVO). Lots of folks with big feet don't like having the left foot in a cage.

Sure doesn’t. I can’t think of any cruiser manufacturers hard bags that do. Ive seen some Ducati’s with aftermarket bags that had a zipper expansion section that allowed the bag to expand wide enough to hold a full face. Maybe those hideous giant square boxes on a BMW GS would fit one?

I've noticed a lot of reviews of this bike on YT, yet at the end of the day the reviewers always go home to their Harley. Not seeing very many people who have actually bought one reviewing it. Also I don't notice any around town where I'm at, mostly see Harley's all over the place. Just an observation.

Nah. I don't like the phrase either because you won't kill Harley. They may dip into sales but won't kill lol. Both brands are good for each other because competition makes both companies up their game and thats good for all of us 👍

Been a HD guy most my adult life. Test rode and bought a Challenger on the same day. Harley just couldnt match the Indian in performance, specs and technology. $30k is alot to invest on a new model and I had some concerns. After 6 months and several thousand miles, Im still smiling like the day I did the demo. The thing I dig about Indian is they dont go cheap on their bikes. True Brembo brakes, inverted forks, Fox hydraulic adjustable rear suspension, Metzler cruise-tec tires made specifically for the Challenger. Love the adjustable windscreen. Great job Indian! Well done.

I road it and I could not Believe it. Indian has Knock it out of the Park. It Fells Like Riding A Small 250 you can Jerk it Anywhere ❤️💙 A d-n-c Sissy can youz the Clutch all Day and not cry. It is Smoother and better than Annie factory motorcycle On the market . The radio is Superior . It is a Girl Magnet❤️. I hate Windshield . This one I can Razz up or Down The Brakes are amazing . My Poor Harley Can not keep up 😭.

Sorry to Harley but...Harley can't touch what Indian is putting out!!! I have always been a fan of Harley which is why I know what I'm in love with. Harley have avoided and ignored quality because they have taken for granted that hard corp fans wouldn't leave no matter what! "MY HARLEY COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON 5th AVE AND..."! Being loyal is one thing however allowing someone to take advantage of your loyalty is another. Harley is capable of so much more and Indian Motorcycle are holding Harley's feet to the fire! My brand new Indian Challenger is proof!!!

Interesting watching you speed up, it looks sluggish. For example if I took of from the lights, turning and reving up to 3000 or 4000 on my 1988 Lowrider, I'd be sideways and going like a rocket, my bike is hotted up, but I think a modern twin would be going a lot faster.

Not prepped very well!! The mic picks up what sounded like metallic rattling at idle and low RPMs. I have herd this on every video of the Indian motorcycles Massive clunk shifting into second and downshifting.. Fairing looks very high. I need to try one of these out because all the videos I have seen do not do it justice.

Some have experienced trouble with Polaris... still today riding fish posted a video he got 400 miles on his before hauling it to the dealership... that aside no it’s not the best... 2 out of three versions cost more then Harley road glide... the base model comes in one color... no option even has a 2 tone... the paint looks design dash etc are NOT as nice as road glide... the only thing they can say is more horsepower.... the 114 has plenty of power if speed is the only thing important then why are you buying a bagger?????
