INDIAN ROADMASTER LONG TERM REVIEW 

Yes sir.

At least you are still riding. I like basically all bikes, but I have always loved Indian. Thanks for commenting and ride safe.

I am happy with my roadmaster I can dive mine hard in the twisties I only worry about scraping my c n c floor boards. With you looking at a 2017 you will have the ride comand and a few upgrades from this bike

The 2017 still has the 111 (newer models have the 116) but it does have the updated electronics package with Ride Command. Honestly, I am extremely happy with my Roadmaster.

One time while my wife was on the back and we were going around a round about she asked "what was that sound" and I had to tell her it was the floor boards scraping. Oops.

@@themotorcyclegene oops lol scrape scrape oh nothing honey this is normal lol

Thanks 👍

I haven't had a single issue with my kickstand, just the windshield. Compared to my last bike (Kawasaki Vulcan S 650) my Roadmaster gets horrible fuel mileage, but compared to my care it gets phenomenal fuel mileage. The Vulcan S got almost 60 miles per gallon, but it was not comfortable at all on long rides and my wife would not ride on the back.

I appreciate that. To be completely honest, with the exception of the windshield, the Roadmaster is a near perfect bike, or atl least for me. It has basically everything I want in a bike. Thanks for watching and ride safe. If you haven't done so already, I would appreciate it if you would subscribe.

I love my Roadmaster, but now that the new Indian Pursuit has come out I may trade my Roadmaster in on one in a year or two. Really though, my only complaint is the windshield. I have gotten use to the throttle.

The dealer I take mine to for service suggested getting rid of the cat to make it run cooler, but I have not decided if I want to spend the money for an exhaust. I absolutely love my Roadmaster, other than the windshield sometimes not working. Someone recently told me that I could have the computer reprogramed to get rid of the lag in the throttle, but I'm used to it now so I don't care. I probably won't upgrade the engine as it handles just fine with my wife and I. If I decide I need more power, which I don't, I would trade it for a newer model with a 116 or for the new Pursuit. Honestly though, I will probably just ride it stock for a few more years and put tons of miles on it. The main thing the newer models have that mine doesn't that would use is the navigation. I used to mount my iPhone to the handlebars for navigation but I got a notice from Apple telling me that doing so will damage the camera. Anyhow, thanks for the comment and ride safe.

The newer model have a lot of differences from the older models, including larger displacement engine (116 vs 111), rear cylinder deactivation at stops, navigation etc.

I may look into that the next time I take it in for service. Thanks.

Someone recently told me that it is more responsive on the newer models, but I can't say for sure since I have not ridden the newer Roadmasters, however, the 2021 Chiefs still had a little bit of a hesitation in the throttle like my 16 Roadmaster does, but not as noticeable.

Seriously, what is your issue? Why are you posting frowning faces as comments to all of my videos.? I don't owe you anything and I have no obligation to model clothing for you.
