Indian Challenger REVIEW 

I have a 114....I. looking at one of these now.....because frankly....Harley can go f×ck themselves. I dont care if its Polaris.

Dayummmm

Truth hurts!

So, they wanted one and bought one to do it their way...

@@AM0908 And still get their clocks cleaned by a stock Challenger. 😂

The only way that will happen is these Harley riders that can’t even spell Indian let alone read specs and understand pricing need to start buying Indians. Then Harley will start paying attention and building a competitive bike.

@@TheVictory106 I was on the fence, but after the Challenger, I'm buying Indian

@@TheVictory106 you're a tool. Indian and Harley. Hmmmm, same amount of letters. Only Davidson, 8 more letters. Who can't spell. Next this whole performance bagger thing is just a fad just like Adam was talking about. Years ago it was big back tire customs that ride like shit. Then it was bobbers, then big wheel baggers, now performance baggers. In a few years that will be old news too. Know there are always those guys no matter what that have to have the biggest and fastest. They just have to be there first. It may be new Corvettes, it may be a snowmobile, or it may be a bike. That part will never change. The fact is back in 2000 give or take a few years you couldn't buy a Harley, they had you on a waiting list. So along came all of those custom bikes, you know all the bikes you saw like American Chopper. Tons of customs flooded the market. All of the sudden Harley stepped up and started making bikes because they were losing profits to guys building a better bike and could get it now. So along comes the EPA and says well those bikes won't meet emissions. So Harley slowed down again and slowly started putting out bikes that were better to keep that from happening again. But it was still to slow and now Indian comes along and builds something that Harley should have been making to keep viable. So this is going to force everyone to step up and build a better bike. Now the whole putting a big motor in a bagger is like building a station wagon or SUV, you're still never going to keep up with a Corvette or a Porshe. You really want to go fast buy a crotch rocket, that's what they are made to do. What's the point of going fast on a bagger? The whole point of a bagger has always been a comfortable ride to go out and experience the scenery. To get out and ride and enjoy this big beautiful world we live in. It's always the girls on the back that enjoy it the most. They are always pointing things out to look at while we are keeping an eye on the road and the other idiots out there. If you are wide open all the time watching traffic. You are missing out on why you are out there in the first place. It's just my opinion , for what it's worth . People are always going to want the next best thing and don't realize what they have right in front of them. Wasting money for thing and options you maybe really use once or twice a year. Most of us ride with no real destination in mind most of the time, it's just let's ride. Maybe a few times a year do you really have somewhere to get. Most of the time it's just let's head that general direction and we will get there when we get there. It's the ride along the way and the people you meet that's worth it. That's something people that have to be a hundred miles an hour with there hair on fire will never understand or get. They miss out on all the good stuff, just like they do in the rest of their lives. I'm not telling you how or what to ride. Do what you want. All I will say is you're missing out. In the words of Captain America in Easy Rider right before he died. He realized that they screwed up. Enjoy the ride my friends, life is short.

@@kennethlaw5216 you do make some great points, only thing I have to disagree with is the performance bagger being a fad. I can't think of a single bagger ridder that doesn't try to improve the performance of their bagger. Wether its just simple intake and exhaust or big inch strokers. Just because you want a comfy long haul ride doesn't mean it has to be a pooch. The idea is as much horsepower as you can pump out with a steady power band and solid reliability. Of never ride one bc they are horrible to look at but BMW is still king of this mountain with 150+hp on a fixed fairing cruiser but I believe they call it a sport cruiser. I dream of a 300hp vtwin bagger for those empty back roads or random amateur drag days. Its way beyond my budget but damn a guy can dream.

@@midget9629 speed has been a trend for years. The whole race to build a bigger inch motor will go as long as it's reliable. So many guys I know used to build their motors only to ride them for 3000 miles and blow them up because they wouldn't keep them of the Rev limiter. So as long as the technology we have keeps up we will be good. I don't see 300 horse being reliable for many years, until some newer technology or metal material comes along. I think before we get there electric will out run all the combustion engine performance. Electric will never be my thing but if you want seat of your pants fun, that's probably where it will go. To each his own. Enjoy the ride.

I appreciate that 👊 thanks for tuning in

thnaks brother,, do you feel the vibration on the foot bored

Thanks fur tuning in 👊

Thanks for tuning in 👊

Man I hate doing 1 time ride reviews (sadly I have done a few) I love it so much more when I can get these miles down. It always looks a bit different after miles.

Harry I love this story. Glad the pup is safe 🐕

Now that it's been a year, how are you liking it? I'm on the fence with ordering one.

although I will always own a Harley, it's just who I am in my soul, there's so much about the indiana that I am impressed with

thanks for tuning in 👊

It rained a Deer on me this summer.. Killed that stupid thing with the front of my bike .. had to replace forks headlight radiator ect..

Same here. Seriously leaning more towards the Challenger

Thanks brother. It is indeed an impressive machine

Being an HD owner does not make the bikes any better or worse because you own one.. Test Riding different brands might wake you up to how Inferior HD has been for decades.. I think they are suddenly rushing to improve.. HD has lot of aftermarket parts like Shocks to improve them. they fact you need to put aftermarket suspension on them shows how much room there is for improvement..

@@mikeskidmore6754 very true HD needs to step up power out of the box and better suspension and a totally liquid cooled bike....on the challenger you really don't notice the radiator as it blends in so well...I haven't test RIDDEN one yet but daaaaaaaaaayum it seems to have game changer WRITTEN all over it and I own 2 HD touring bikes...I'm a. HD loyalist but I'm so digging this bike

@@cedriclashar8905 Take it from a former Harley rider, the Challenger is a whole new world.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it brother 👊

@@adamsandoval Cheers brother
