Got a chance to take the 2021 Indian Challenger out for a demo ride. The ride itself was a bit disappointing to be honest. It's tough with demos because if you get stuck in the middle of the pack, there's not much you can do to really put the bike to the test. But beggars certainly can't be choosers. It was still fun to get out on this monster bagger. Stay tuned to see how things went.

If you had to pick, would you go with the Challenger or Road Glide? Drop a comment below!

@ryanwalker3509 3 года назад

The Indian is a better bike in every measurable way. However, after I get off of that bike I will never have the urge to turn around and look at it. Neither bike pulls to me hard enough to buy. I would certainly regret either purchase. If money were no object I would buy the harley and dump the 10k into it to make it as good as the Indian. The harley needs upgraded rear shocks, more power, better audio, as well as a windscreen. Good thing harley davidson accessories and upgraded are so cheap.....

@lowcountryrob170 3 года назад

HD. While the Indian is the better bike stock, you can do way more to a Harley. Ain’t nothing cheap about either bike, and we the consumers are the ultimate losers in that regard. I’ve seen people complaining about Harley a lot lately, and I get it. Harley is a corporation, so I don’t get why people are shocked by a corporation acting like a corporation, especially one that hired a German philanthropist to head an American brand. Indian likes to boast being America’s oldest bike, they just tend to gloss over, I believe, the period from 1953 to 2011 when they didn’t produce bikes. If my dates are wrong, I’m sorry. We will see what Polaris does with them, but I hate the fact Polaris killed the Victory brand. Those were actually some really decent bikes. Both are beautiful bikes. My girl loves her Indians, and it’s a nice bike. I understand why people are switching, but I grew up on and around Harley, and it’s what I’ll stick with because it’s what I know. Things will change, they always do. Thanks for a great review.

@LARGO125 3 года назад

@@lowcountryrob170 Like you said about HD, Polaris acted like a corporation when they killed Victory. They didn't think marketing 2 different name plates of the same style of bike made economic sense. The Victory name doesn't have the cache that Indian has when it comes to going one on one with Harley's marketing. So the decision was made to double down on Indian, which still has the Victory DNA in their Thunderstroke and powerplus engines.

I love Road Glides and have owned two of them, but my test ride of the Challenger impressed me. If I was going to choose between them today I'd probably buy the Challenger.

@indianrider956 3 года назад

I own a 2019 Chieftain...I needed my shifter replaced so my dealership loan me the Challenger for a week. Took the Challenger for a 500 mile over night ride and here's my opinion. Right now, the Challenger has no stage options. So you can't make it faster. That's my only complaint. The windscreen blocks all the winds so you peanut Helmet riders will love that. Those of us who like music on our bikes, will love the stock sound system...its loud and clear. The Challenger.. rides smooth and will not have any problems in windy or rainy conditions. Overall very good bike.

The ignorance and arrogance of Harley fans convinced me to go Indian!!! Ill let the Challenger's performance speak for itself...There is no comparison other than... looks/appearance and after market options. I personally and by far...like the looks of the Challenger over the Road Glide!!!

@Fieskmask 3 года назад

@@KC-sj6oi I hear you. I went Indian partly because of the good service I got and the performance. However, since I live in Sweden, were not able to install either stage 1 or 2 due to European restrictions for emissions. However, when the fabric warranty is over, I'm heading down to Netherlands to Lloyd's and tune it up, putting on Stage 1 and 2 but until then, I'm going original. I have also custom repaint, seat, Klockwerks windshield, Indian exclusive rear mirrors and floorboards and some other cool stuff.

@darcher5888 3 года назад

Indian Challenger is the shit! I love mine and in stock form it eats a RG stage 4 for friggin lunch! Zero comparison unless you have $12k to bring the HD power, torque and ride quality to the same level as a stock Indian. However, I do think after market and the fit and finish is much better on the HD. However, maintaining a Harley is much more expensive than an Indian or any other bike for that matter. The Indian advantage is overwhelming IMO.

@Topnikko 3 года назад

Challenger for the win. As if these bikes aren't expensive enough, you'd have to put at least another $10k into the RG to get the performance and handling even close to the Challenger. The fit and finish of the Challenger is also first-rate and the engine machine work/detail just beautiful.

@matthewrobinson8125 3 года назад

Would you spend 45k on a cvo or 31k on an indian challenger with better and new performance

@Desmo1 3 года назад

I owned an Indian and test rode the challenger twice before I chose the RoadGlide special. Now to the reason, owning an Indian made a couple things clear to me... 1)They just didn't have the quality feel to them or at least not as quality as HD, and 2) the aftermarket scene was laughable. I rode the challenger and it felt cheap, the inner fairing screams cheap plastic, the sound was tinny, the screen on the infotainment albeit vast was also comparable to an old low res Samsung LCD display. Some other things I didn't care for was the weak startup sound, the look w/o the bags on and the overall aesthetics. IMO comparing the Roadglide to the Challenger is not the right comparison, the Cheiftain is the more appropriate comparison for the two brands. I ended up with a RGS w/RDRS for much less than what an Indian would've cost and having spoken to my buddy that did buy the Challenger, if he could do it all over again he would've gone with a RoadGlide according to him. He's got a little more power than I but at the end of the day who really wants to argue about having the second best touring bike (challenger fans/Goldwing fans).

@LARGO125 3 года назад

Funny, the Roadglides I've been on haven't exactly screamed "quality". Spend 30k on a bike just so you can spend another 700 so you can have a seat that will actually be comfortable for more than 40 miles? Then spend another 3k on a proper suspension? Then another 1500.00 on proper bars, another 1000.00 on an exhaust you can actually hear, need I go on? Don't see the "quality" you're talking about...

@rusipathan 3 года назад

I agree. RG should be compared to the Chieftains. There is nothing in HDs line up which can compete with the Challenger. That PP108 engine is just on another level.

@thelost_woods 3 года назад

I thought the Indians felt a tad cheap too. I was more than happy riding home from the demo on my Slim

@Desmo1 3 года назад

@@LARGO125 You're confusing quality with your personal comfort style, the seat is made just fine although may not be comfortable to you personally. I have a custom Lucky Daves step up seat I ordered for aesthetics purposes and it sure as hell wasn't cheap from a dollar perspective and it in no way is as comfortable as the stock seat. The stock suspension while not the best on the market is fine, no one's getting on an HD bagger and then getting off saying the suspension is terrible. BTW a set of Legends rears that would be perfect for most is laughably way under $3K, you spend 3k on a suspension it's gonna blow the Challengers suspension away. $1500!! for bars?? I have a set of KST's that I got for $400 self installed cause the RG is way easier to work on than the challenger, believe me my buddy has swapped his bars on his challenger, spent a small fortune. exhaust? who is keeping their stock exhaust anyway? the vast majority do their exhaust as one of the first things. Oh and good luck with your choices if you get an Indian, the pickings are slim like everything else with them.

@invertwiley1689 3 года назад

@@Desmo1 "no one's getting on an HD bagger and then getting off saying the suspension is terrible" go watch any of the RG vs Challenger videos where 1 or more people took turns riding between the two. Every video i've seen with people who regularly ride all sorts of motorcycles has complimented how well the Challenger suspension works while saying it makes the HD looks archaic and confused. They pretty much all say the front is 'ok' and the back just doesn't seem to know what it wants to do compared to the Indian. In every, single, review. I believe he said 3k for the suspension because its more than upgrading the rear suspension. Challenger front forks are inverted as well, thats no small upgrade price for the HD. Either way enjoy what you ride. I've ridden a couple SGs and RGs now and they're good bikes (the 107 RG I rode did NOT like to downshift to 1st but it was heavily used so thats neither here nor there), the 114 RGS I rode was nice, comfortable but the shifting still felt clunky, same with the 110 SG. That said my current bike is a Vulcan until a few more months go buy. I'm setting my sights on a Challenger White smoke. Already picked out the bars i want, custom crash bars too, passenger backrest and it won't be leaving the dealer without the saddlebag speakers. That bike speaks to me. Aftermarket is growing for it at an unbelievable rate. Tab, Bassani, VnH exhausts all popping out of nowhere. KST, Torch Industries bars, clutch and brake levers becoming available. The bike is stirring up a LOT of interest.

I just went from a fatboy lo to a road king standard and I have to say I miss the way the floor boards on the FB were way more forward. No hwy pegs needed. Just stretch out. So I see what you’re talking about (same bike but RG has the fairing etc) The new touring chassis tho is heavenly. It’s so damn nimble and wants to turn in way more than the fatboy lo with its 200 rear tire. FB lo was such a evil looking bike tho and I miss that part (ppl gave it a wide berth bc they thought I was some tough guy bc the way the bike looked and the way I prob looked riding it.. But for the amount of hwy riding I do and I like to ride with the missus .. RK was the way for me to go (couldn’t afford RG now with the prices all jacked up on used bikes..

This past March, on a day off from work I swung by Tytler Cycle over in Kaukauna Wisconsin. Covid was just starting to really get around and the place was quiet. I did sit on one of the two Challengers in the showroom. Red told me to take it for a test ride. It was mild outside and I thought, why not, so he wheeled one out of the showroom. One borrowed helmet and 20 minutes later I came back and told him that we're going to have to talk about trading my Chieftain up for a Challenger. One week and a half later, I rode out on my 2020 Challenger Deluxe. 13,119 miles later, this Indian Challenger is, with one slightly irritating issue, hands-down the best motorcycle I've ever owned. In September I did install a pair of TAB 2-1-2 slip-ons with "Zombie" baffles 😃 on it, along with the Indian air cleaner upgrade. Tytler tuned it and everything is working well together. I'm going to wait until next year to have the cat delete installed along with the Power Commander V. Ryan who works for RVS Performance highly recommended that I wait until next spring. So far all of the Dynojet units they've gotten for the Challenger needed a lot of work to get them to perform properly. My bike does occasionally cut out when coming up to a stop sign or downshifting into a turn, which seems to be pretty prevalent on the Challenger. Tytler has tried to track down what the problem is so far without success. From what I read on these blogs quite a few other folks are having some trouble with that as well with their Challengers. I'm guessing that PII will have it straightened out by next spring. At least they better have it straightened out.

100%. It really is about what you like most in a motorcycle. What makes you look back when you walk away. Today’s bikes keep getting better. Since we’re reviewing a Bagger. Curious to see what you think of the BMW K1600 B (Bagger) and new generation Gold Wing Bagger since you loved your previous F6B. The Indian has the lengthy heritage and they did make some amazing steps forward in engineering, but I’m not feeling the sound of this stock Challenger, paint quality and overuse of plastics.

Ive owned multiple motorcycles. Foreign and American. The first non-HD bike i owned was a victory highball. I also owned a Hd Switchback at that time. As the bikes aged, my HD started to rattle, vibrate in places it shouldnt, paint deterioration was more prevalent, etc. Not to mention the Harley cost more to maintain. My Victory however, still feels like the day i bought it. Oil, tires, brakes and a battery.... Thats it! In my personal opinion, polaris builds a better motorcycle. Still own my victory. Sold the HD, used the $$ as down payment on the challenger dark horse. Im not a brand snob, I stick with personal experience. Polaris products have always treated me right.

That’s a nice cockpit wow. I’m not one for the huge dash you always see which has always turned me off from a Harley style bike. I like the low shoulders on the dash. The only thing that would hold me back from buying it is wondering if I can get 180,000 miles out of it without a engine or transmission rebuild. Hard to turn down a Japanese bike for this reason. If it only survives 100,000 then you might as well double the price in your head because you’ll be buying two bikes instead of 1 Japanese bike. I watched that Laguna Seca race which was super short and they were all having problems but the Indians not only won but seemed more reliable then the Harley’s (which I find of importance).

I own a 2021 Challenger Dark Horse in Canada. I've always been a Road Glide Fan UNTILL...the intro of the Indian Challenger! The Indian is far SUPERIOR TO Harley in this case!!! Out of the "Box"... $500 more expensive than Harley however, Indian gives you a product that cant be touched by Harley's RD GLD CVO which is $10 000 heavier than the Indian.

@KC-sj6oi 3 года назад

My opinion has changed...I'm totally disappointed with my 2021 Indian Challenger. Disappointed with Indian because it has horrible customer support and they have 20% availability with inventory. You can't buy parts and accessories because everything is out of stock. I'll be selling my Challenger as soon as possible!!!

I like the power numbers and some of the tech but can't get past the cheap plastic look and feel. IMO the chieftain is better built, i know the same manufacture but it just seems the fit and finish is better on the chieftain

Someone in the comments said it’s in between Road Glide and Goldwing. I agree with that assessment. That is why I choose the Challenger.

@EasyRiderGreg 3 года назад

It looks cool. I like the other colors better. The 1 you're riding the color looks like what the Sun City old ladies get on their Caddies.🤣 I wouldn't want to have to pick, but if I did I pick the Road Glide. I really don't want either 1 though.

Part of me wants one it's build like my victory hammer smaller engine but power is insane. I just can't get over the front end it looks way to bulky to me. Performance, tech, suspension it seems like indian is blowing harley out the water. I just feel harley looks a bit better, better color's, and more aftermarket to make it your own. I wish I would have bought and indian when polaris first bought them they were way cheaper then harley now they are like the same price ish.

If you have 720 credit score Indian does you right on a bike with 25miles and you get a better performance bike if you have a 720 credit score harley still wants 5500 in interest for a 2019 with 4800 miles

The Indian challenger is the KING of the Baggers 2 year running 🏃‍♀️ it is the official Harley🏳️‍🌈Davidson killer .. Love from Mississippi

@nickfountain8420 3 года назад

It would be kick ass if you could talk Indian into letting you get some long term loaners. I think it would be good advertising for them watching you pull some nooner's on'em.

And speaking about the bobber 1200. I just had a guy trade his in for a street bob cause he really didn't care for the way it rode. I'd love to hear your take on that bike as well 👍

I rode the darkhorse challenger and personally, I prefer the road glide. Although Indians handle well and have more power, the Road glide doesn't feel as platicy. PLASTICYYYYYY

@Dustin359 3 года назад

For what they want for a Challenger here the way I would want it, I could buy a CVO Road Glide. I'll stick with Harley.

@joevsfood 3 года назад

They are the same price!?!? The Challenger comes with so much more than the RG.

@Dustin359 3 года назад

@@joevsfood Challenger was at the price of a CVO road glide before I finished the build. In Canada, the Harley is the hands down better buy.

@@StretchReality They don't like when someone else likes something better than there's, even though the challenger was built to compete with the road glide or street glide.
