Indian Chieftain Elite Review at RevZilla.com 

Smarter than he looks!

This is a video about the bike, not his level of education.

Yeah! Lemmy is awsome! He really knows his stuff

All joking aside your videos are my favourite reviews for motorcycles

+ZLA Lemmy revzilla is great in general its true, it's really helped me find really cool stuff and the beard scale is rad. Unfortunately I'm a one bearder as far as skill goes ha

Devin Davis k

That is a problem. My HD dealer is literally 6 mins from my house. Indian dealer is 3 hours away.

He mentioned it.

G Man Yep, in the first segment on the beach.

Daniel Hilley my apologies, he did mention it.

you must be a victory rider...

Lemmy, you need your own show....."Lemmy does the US", "Lemmy across America", "The Adventures of Lemmy".. My only beef with Indian is its a "me too bike" not an industry leader. Lets see innovations that weren't inspired by HD short comings or to keep pace with HD bikes. So now Indian has a version of a CVO, well isn't that special. Whats next the thunderchicken 114. Well HD should do a version of the slingshot for spite (Slingrod or Slinglide). PS. love your review of the legends suspension and did front and back on my FLHX and its a night and day difference on the road. I just don't know why that kind of suspension is not stock on these 20k+ baggers. Thanks.

"Life according to Lemmy"

All valid points. Yes, I'm aware Polaris owns both Victory and Indian. Though as a New Englander, I'll continue to pretend that Indian's origin in Springfield, Mass. means something, haha. I'm not a Harley hater, I just wish other companies had more market share. Where I live, in central Massachusetts, its ALL Harley's. Just gets tiring because it seems to be the automatic choice for riders. But that's credit to H-D for marketing, reputation, cool-factor, etc. As a company, they treat their employees well and offer good jobs, so I would never criticize them in that regard. Speaking of the Victory Octane, which I'm a fan of, they can still be snatched up at a good price, right? Their base price was already a thousand or more below the Scout and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one since they're being supported for ten years after being discontinued.

Man, I just realized...with Victory closing down, which American company other than H-D will sell cruisers like the Gunner & Hammer? With Indian, the Scout is the Octane, but then it jumps to fancier bikes like the Chief without anything else in the midsize segment. The Victory Gunner is $13,500 & the Hammer S is $15K vs. the Indian Chief Dark Horse at $17,500!!

When you buy a brand new bike, you're also buying the support of the dealership. It sounds like the sales people at the Indian dealership would be a better support network after the sale. Glad you had a nice test ride! -TeamZilla Chris

Don't forget the entire video team behind the scenes! -DrewZilla

Is that a "Titleist??" -DrewZilla

"At that moment, I was a marine biologist."

That's how I feel about Harley...mostly because I can't stand pushing motorcycles, I prefer riding.

Lucas Carlson Fair call. The cabin ergonomics on the Ultra are better than the Polaris offerings IME. The M8 Ultra I enjoyed for a month hire last year was 3 steps up on the previous model. I would probably select the Elite over it though, looks and heritage I prefer. Ymmv

Cosmic_Infidel I have the opposite view. Could never own one with the valances or tassels, but this elite ticks a lot more boxes for me

At 3:50, you'll notice he does use a Sena 20S along with a Sena Audio Back for GoPro. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sena-bluetooth-audio-back-for-gopro-with-waterproof-housing

Thanks. Yes, I saw that later in the video as I was wondering why he had a 20S in his helmet. My Sena-Prism-to-Sena-10S audio system (pairing) offers UHD audio when it's only my Sena 10S connected. My last recall is that the GoPro Sena Audio pack allowed for UHD too in such a setup (one intercom paired). The UHD is lost when I also pair my gf's Sena 10S (this is my main complaint for dual vlogging). Lemmy's voice sounds exactly like the non-UHD audio when it's my gf and I paired and recording. What gives? Was Lemmy's 20S perhaps paired with another 20S for video instructions as he rode and thus he could not get his voice recorded in UHD? I'm genuinely interested. Also Drewzilla, if I may ask, do you have any last updates on when is Sena going to finally launch the 10C Evo cam? Last update I had from Sena was "some time" in December but their website simply says "Coming Soon". I'm very looking forward to this product as a vlogger since it is a much-needed upgrade to the awesome (but limited) Sena Prism cam and 10C audio cam.

For the UHD audio question, I believe Lemmy was also paired to the filming vehicle. For the 10C Evo, the latest is just that it's coming soon. It won't be December, but we're hoping it's only a few months. -DrewZilla

Thanks DrewZilla. Last question if I may, do you know if the 10C Evo will feature UHD audio recording when recording a video with more than one Sena intercom paired? I think this is the one big feature missing in the current span of Sena audio-intercom recording options. With Sena not having any Audio Bluetooth packs for the newer GoPro 5 and 6, we vloggers are sort of stuck in between options if we want to stay with a wireless video-and-audio recording setup. If the 10C Evo will offer UHD recording with more than one intercom paired, then I think it is worth waiting for the 10C Evo indeed.

We haven't seen final specs on the 10C Evo yet, so it's unclear whether it will offer UHD with extra intercoms paired. My gut tells me no though. -DrewZilla

The K1600B will spank any bagger out there.

They're waterproof, so they aren't affected by rain. -DrewZilla

Fender is infleunced from the 1932 Scout. www.americanmotorcyclist.com/hof/Classic-Bikes/1932-indian-scout

And it only took them 80 yrs to go back in time--not bad

We don't have an exact day, but the latest ETA is late-April, so hopefully they come in from Biltwell in the next couple weeks. -DrewZilla

What feeling is that?

You know what they say "if you have to ask...."

LOL, I've owned HD's...so nice to get an Iconic bike that actually runs!

I have only had three and have never had a break down and I ride distance. Been left on the side of the road on a wing twice. We'll still have to see how well Indians run. Only 3 years now

We always try to link the gear in the video description. In this case, that sharp-looking jacket is the Olympia Alpha. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/olympia-alpha-jacket

Lemmy is 6 feet tall, and it fits him just fine. It's best to go sit on one to see how it fits you though. -DrewZilla

Thanks for the response. That's good to know. I'll be riding one this weekend. thanks again.

Im 6'1 and fit far better than the street glide, fact.

I saw another review earlier of the same bike. Guy riding was 5'4" and he had no trouble at all.

Star Transcontinental Venture.

Lemmy did get to ride the new Street Glide during the M8 release ride, but he hasn't done a full review of it. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/common-tread/testing-the-new-harley-davidson-milwaukee-eight

Sweet article, thanks for sharing!

That’s the Indian I was trying to buy but Harley gave me a better price and trade.

At the moment, probably not. However, if Indian offers one, we might. -DrewZilla

Easy there bud...he’s married... and straight.

@@gabbyhayes1568 haha 😂 😂

Gonna hit that share button? :) -DrewZilla
