2023 Indian Sport Chief | Just Another Cruiser! 

This engine is surprisingly good- great review

That’s one nice ride there. That engine might just be the best looking V-twin ever produced! Great review! Cheers, Lupo

Keep up the good work, many thanks for your road tests

The bike is amazing in terms of design, Thanks for the review

You doing another tour soon? Binge watched your last posts and they were great. Planning to do Bilbao to Barcelona next year 👍 thanks for your inspiration and ideas.

Great to see you again , nice bike just crazy money like most in this range but cool all the same

id have to say thats my absolute favourite motorcycle design I have ever seen, personal opinion obviously but its genuinely everything I love to look at in a motorcycle. happy to hear the performance and ergonomics hold up as well lol

Great review and I love the bike. We have a Krazy Horse branch about an hour from me at Bury St Edmunds. It's a great place to visit just to see all the Indian bikes as well as the other exotica in stock(and a good cafe on site). Never been taken by Harley's, but I must admit I have a bit of a thing for Indians bikes.

Hey RedAng - Great video as usual! ...I'm surprised you didn't test the Indian Scout instead...since you obviously loved your Speedmaster and Triumph watched the Scout receive loads of "Best bike of the year" awards when it came out in 2015,,,three years later Triumph released the Speedmaster as an obvious copy of the Scout. Roughly the same size, weight ,fuel tank size and look (chunky tyres , seat height and wheelbase) but one big difference...Triumph only had it's 1200 engine to power it and the 77bhp output was aced by the Scout's 100bhp - it makes all the difference! The Scout has ZIP which is important in urban squirts - the Speedmaster feels a bit flat footed in that respect. I had a Speedmaster for 6 months/2000 miles and traded up to a Scout, I LOVE the extra ZIP and the only downside is the Scout is a tiny bit less comfortable on long rides. Having said that I don't mis the Speedmasters terrible rear monoshock suspension with so little travel that your spine is banged on every speedbump and pothole,(I never get that with the Scout's dual shocks. Given a road with no potholes the Triumph would win on comfort - but a single hole will send you heading home with a pain in your coccyx !!! Take care!

Agreed, engine is the best part. I'd swap bars to more pulled back and lower, more forward, foot pegs to make it more ride-able. Bike looks great, Another great review. Cheers 🍺

I bought the Dark Horse version of the Chief in the Quartz Grey. Beautiful bike, beautiful color. Thanks for sharing with the community Brother, ride safe.

Great colour

I like this bike quite a lot! I'd have to move the bars closer but that's the only change I'd make. It's a lot of money but so is the Moto Guzi v100 Mandello which is another completely different style of bike I'm considering. I've owned Harley's in the past and also a Honda Shadow and my biggest concern is the super low seat hight. I'm riding a Triumph Tiger 850 now and the commanding view of the road ahead you'll never get from a cruiser. I live in the States in Tennessee and the roads here are twisty with lots of blind curves and elevation changes. Riding a cruiser here is a bit like driving an MGB! You have to guess what's over the next rise.

Hello there! Great reviews on the channel and enjoying your content. Can I ask what jacket are you wearing in the video? Thanks.

Good video with useful insights. Love Indian and I'm a member of the tribe. Just wish the torque was also given in foot pounds along with newtons. 116 ci thunderstroke has 120 ft lbs of tourque.

Interesting looking bike! I divorced Polaris several years ago when they dumped the Victory line. At any rate I enjoyed your review and wondered if "Speedy" is still your main ride?

I rode many bikes in few years. I enjoyed many bikes. I don’t have favorite manufacturer brand. I love all motorcycle style. GSXR750, Road King are Sport Chief my most favorite. I own a Suzuki GS500F, it’s fun bike! I think it funny when people say sport bike better than American cruiser. Every bike has their own purpose. Some people like slow. Some people like relax body position. Some people like elegant. Some people like V than inline. Some people like ride off-road. I think 3 sexy bike manufacturers are MV Agusta, Harley-Davidson and BMW.

The riding position does look uncomfortable, would it help if the risers were lower?

Very nice but the Price Tag is a little high for most of us

The return of the Victory lineup, rebadged. And thats not a bad thing.

The seat would be too low for me. Nice-looking bike, though. Expensive. 1890cc air-cooled engine. It's going to fly. I used to love the engine on my MT-01 - air-cooled, 1670cc. There is no substitute for cubes. I don't like touch screens. What's wrong with a switch? Nick J

Is that color storm blue ?

What does the term ( club bike ) mean ?

For me they never seem to get the rative proportions right unlike HD.

Too bad you couldn't twist the throttle - not going to see that much torque again for a while.

Cruiser are for people who don't do research before buying and don't wear gear. Change my mind.

These American cruisers are laughably overpriced. Cool, but I’ll just get a V4 Ducati or R1 long before one of these grossly underpowered weights on two wheels. Interesting how the Japanese brands can produce a far superior cruiser for a hell of a lot less…
