@Hoggdoc1946 6 лет назад

I had a chance to ride a new Indian at your dealers Indian Demo days a while ago. I have to agree the torque that engine, even stock, produces is impressive. Does the Stage Three Kit bump the rev limiter? I felt the stock revs where limited too low. I have owned and modified several Harley Touring bikes, but have to say if I were in the market, had the money, I would consider a Indian over a new Harley today.

@Sig721Tau 6 лет назад

I like that new fender design but it still needs the lighted Indian head to be considered an Indian. Just my two cents.

@BarrettPowell 6 лет назад

So today, I rode an HD Street Glide, a Road King, and then back to back Chieftain and Chieftain w/ Stage 3. For my riding style and preference, the Street Glide is an awesome package. I thought the Milwaukee 8 pulled pretty hard and handled really well. I like the riding position of the Street Glide of all the bikes. The seat and riding position were the most comfortable of all the bikes. I felt like I could ride the Street Glide for hours without getting fatigued. But in the end, I ended up buying a Chieftain Dark Horse and having the dealer put the Stage 3 kit in it. I just couldn't bring myself to going with the crowd. I wanted something different and the Indian Chieftain Dark Horse fits that bill, even more so with the performance kit.

@thomasjoseph9224 Год назад

Hey man, still liking the bike? About to make a switch from Harley

@BarrettPowell Год назад

@Thomas Joseph bike is great. Unfortunately, my dealer was not. I actually had bought 2 new bikes from them at the same time...the Indian and a BMW Adventure Bike. Every time I went in for warranty work they were pretty bad. I ended up selling both bikes after a year, but the Indian was awesome.

I've never experianced anything like the Cheiftain. I just traded my 2022 Goldwing DCT for a 2023 Cheiftain Darkhorse and while the Goldwing is almost impossible to beat the Cheiftain offers a totally different experiance of equal merit. One that once tried is imposible to ignore. This is a good motorcycle. No, This is a magical motorcycle.

@sebcarol1 6 лет назад

Pretty bike, but to buy it off Harley not knowing that they will dump Indian in the future and start up another fad line; they would have to price the bike much...much lower. 30K is not even a thought. "IT'S A VICTORY FOLKS"

@mindspinn311 3 года назад

Now the question is buy a 111 and eventually upgrade with the stage 3 116 kit or buy the factory 116 and eventually go stage 2? Same endpoint now with the 2020 bikes.

@gghostrrider 6 лет назад

Was your recommendation to have the dealer flash done with pipes and air box? If so why do so many people seem to say the dealer flash was useless, buy a tuner? Are you suggesting a dyno tune or a canned remap. All my questions are about Harleys, btw.

@ShawnSmoak 6 лет назад

Yes, as it makes the necessary adjustments to compensate for the added flow of the intake and exhaust. This is the simplest and least expensive way to get the best (stock and legal) performance out of your bike and stage-1 add-on’s. To say the flash does nothing is simply foolish..! I can see the adjustments being made through the SE Super Tuner Pro. Cracks me up when I hear people claim this... Now, to get the best performance out your Harley, have it dyno tuned by a qualified tuner. This takes a canned map and tunes it perfect to your particular engine and mods installed. This can be spendy, but well worth it. If you live in a CARB state, or get DEQ’d regularly, make sure the tuner sets it from perfect to legal at the end of the tune, otherwise your bike is not legal for highway use... Thanks for watching and commenting!!

That was one supper slow a$$ ride, for a supposedly fast bike, like for real 😐. Why would you even tell us its fast if you're not going to show us. Take that bike down a back road and show us what it was "built" to do! Because if you hammer on it a few times and it breaks, Indian shouldn't be selling that bike to anybody in the first place. No I want to hear that horses, war cry.

@jefftilghman9059 6 лет назад

That's the nicest Indian I've ever seen. Not a fan of that far back a retro look. So needless to say, I don't like the look of Indian motorcycles. Don't like the Softail Heritage either. But that one there is a pretty bike. Not too retro. I gues you've forgotten the IRON & SGS. I tried keeping up with your daily vlog, but its just too many videos to keep up with. I didn't unsub, I just don't watch them anymore. When I did, the other Motovloggers suffered. And I'm thinking about doung some videos of my 82 Goldwing restoration. But I'm gonna have to learn about editing and Yourube restrictions. Ride safe.

@MAHGlie 6 лет назад

Silly question maybe, can the tach and speedo be reversed, as in switch sides? I have limited vision in my left eye and prefer the speedo on the right as they're spread that far apart. Been riding my Guzzi LeMans for 32 years with big tach in the middle, speedo on the right, and my BMW R100RT had them side by side so it didn't matter. Love the Chieftain DH.
