FTR
Starting at $12,999 US MSRP
2022 FTR Black Smoke is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 56.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 FTR 1200 I purchased this bike a couple weeks ago and although I do not have a lot of miles on it yet, I really enjoy the comfort of the FTR 1200. I have been riding for 41 years and I have owned a lot of motorcycles. I sold my last bike 6 years ago believing I would never own another one. After seeing the FTR in person, doing research and the taking a test ride, I was hooked and had to have one. It has more than enough power and I was very excited about the riding position and comfort. I'm 57yrs. old and I get upper back and shoulder paid and I have not experienced it at all when I ride. I purchased the base model because I really like the black smoke color and I'm not a fan of electronics. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Bike I bought my FTR in April. It has a little over 1000 miles now. It's stylish and comfortable for me. I've ridden up to 250 miles in a day without feeling like I've just ridden 250 miles. I definitely recommend this bike to others and have gotten many good comments on the road.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from fail but nice i bought bike new. dealship gave me wrong one. they switched for the correct one. finally get to start up the bike after being on the road for two months. bike fails to start. have lights and full battery. have the trickle charge plug ready to plug in but find out it doesn’t seem to connect to battery. thinking battery was bad try to find replacement but couldn’t. call dealership and find out last time they looked at bike was in september. i got bike in march. after many hours googling problem came to find out polaris didn’t install the fuses very well and the fuse and relay for starter popped out. pushes in all fuses and now bike is running great. added a traction selector to bike now it’s becoming a great bike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great stock , Aftermarket makes it perfect Bought this leftover base model for a great price, made it my own and fixed the known fueling and cold start issues through aftermarket. Now runs great and is a blast anywhere!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Bike! I had a HD Night Rod Special before buying this bike, and I didn’t like the riding angle too much, or the way it handled, and bought this bike to replace it. I’ve got to say.. It is the most comfortable bike I’ve ever been on. The riding angle is perfect, and it handles phenomenal! It keeps pressure off my knees and lower back which is a huge plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow! I picked up this bike a week ago. Already have 200 miles on it. This is a super fun bike. I've been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and this thing makes me smile every time. Fit and finish is excellent along with a two year warranty. Can't beat that. Not a lot of aftermarket parts but hopefully the vendors will take notice. I've never had any stalling issues with my bike. It's a great machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great power After getting some miles on the the biggest thing I can say is that this bike is amazing. It handles well and looks like nothing else on the road. The only downfall in my opinion is when getting into longer rides, the fuel range is a little short (120-140 miles) and the stock seat starts to create a high pressure spot on the back of the legs on the edges. Other than that the bike handles highway speeds well and I can’t wait to see how it handles at higher elevations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It goes fast, and looks cool. I cannot describe how much I enjoy having something that goes as fast as it looks. This bike is mean, and with the right pipe on it, sounds mean. It goes fast, and looks cool. What more can I ask for from an investment :) Great compliment to my Chieftain in the garage. And its great to have a bike that stands out in a crowd of black Street Glides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very fun bike This bike is an absolute blast to ride. I'm a taller rider so the handle bar set-up is comfortable for me. The power to weight ratio of this bike is perfectly dialed in. The top end torque is impressive and exhilarating. Only minor issue I've had is it struggles a bit until reaching operating temperature, sometimes misfiring. I get excited every time I pull it out of the garage for a ride!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All I thought it would be I bought my ftr in August and have just now hit my 500 mile service. Bad weather and bad timing due to life has slowed the miles from flying by. After my service I have made a pledge to ride every chance I can. This motorcycle is a torque monster. The motor has no problem with low end as well as high end. Ample power is available at any point in time that you need it. I am very happy with my purchase. And as I said in the review title, it’s all I thought it would be... and then some. The only complaint I have is the bulky looking rear fender/license plate holder. It wasn’t a problem though. I relocated all of it under the seat and eliminated the bulky looking assembly. everything I wanted in a motorcycle the ftr 1200 has provided. It’s an awesome ride and can get the adrenaline pumping without breaking a sweat. Thank you Indian. It’s like you customized this bike just for me. Awesome.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very fast and muffler is tolerable Rear tires are Horrible they need to replace these. The rear tire drifts on the freeway. Cold starts are bad takes a while to warm up. Outside of those things I love the bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No regrets buying Enjoy riding everytime I'm on it. Has the right amount of power and control for me. It's a beautiful clean bike overall. A lot of details. This is actually my first on-road bike. Depending on the person, I wouldn't recommend to new riders with no experience. This bike can easily eat a person whole if they don't respect it nor understand the fundamentals of riding. Ftr has a range of about 120 miles per tank for me, not for long distance cruising for most. Somethings I don't like are the cold starts, it will idle rough and usually stalls engine with the stock ECU. It's a common issue that can easily be resolved. Catalytic converter and stock muffler are ugly and bulky. I would love to see more 1st/3rd party after market parts/upgrades. Should have 600-750cc variant also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exciting Motorcycle From the first, visual impression of the FTR1200, it’s an amazing machine. The styling and dirt track DNA immediately drew me in. Once the 1203cc engine fires up and the throaty rumble of the S&S exhaust graces your ear drums you quickly realize that this bike isn’t all looks, it’s even more about performance. The bike pulls hard from a start, but wakes up at speed when the motor revs above 6k. On a quick weekend trip to the mountains, I rode 255 miles on the highway to a secluded cabin. No problem. Cruise control is a blessing. Once in the mountains, I hit the back gravel roads and immediately felt like I could power slide and drift every corner. The FTR instills confidence as it is so stable and loves to go sideways. Then I hit the pavement of the windy mountain roads. With a 45 degree lean angle carving the curves at speed was a blast. For the price rang of the FTR, anyone would be hard pressed to find a better looking, more versatile bike. 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This bike delivers and just feels special I bought this bike at the start of spring and haven't been able to stop riding it since. The power, handling and character all combine for a thrilling but balanced ride. The style is authentic and sporty. My other poor other bikes have just been sitting now. I can't find any flaws with this bike unless I nitpick. I am happy to see Indian going a new direction and making something cool instead of just then another "crusier". This V-Twin is just superb and the bike makes you feel special. Well done Indian and I couldn't be happier with this machine.

FTR S
Starting at $14,999 US MSRP
2022 FTR S White Smoke is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 104.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2019 Indian FTR S Race Replica This is an outstanding bike. It is easy to ride, light, balanced and powerful when it is needed. Very forgiving and fun to ride.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Miles of smiles! Ever since the 2019 I have been in love with the look of the FTR. Wasn’t until YT personalities were reviewing the 2022 I realized it was time to make the jump. The bike is smooth, responsive, and sounds wonderful. In the moment I threw my leg over I felt like I was one with the bike. I would’ve really liked it if there was navigation on the control. Personally I would’ve liked the foot controls a little more centered but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. Wife and kids did sat the passenger pegs could also be a little lower. Overall I am more than happy with the Bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smile Machine I bought this a couple of months ago, it had been 20 plus years since I have owned a motorcycle. I am very impressed with the power and torque, I’m sure smaller sport bikes might be faster, but they don’t have the roll on torque. Fun machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fun, powerful bike with great features I have had it a few months now. Really enjoy the ride. My other ride is an FZ-07. This feels like the big brother to that type of bike. Fun is the biggest feature. The handling is intuitive and there is power in ANY gear. Like most owners, I have done a few things to make it my own, but you could ride it stock and be happy with it. A couple of my minor nit-picks are that the clutch lever is not adjustable, and there is no storage at all. Not even a place to put your insurance card and registration.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A Fun Motorcycle, but there are flaws I have had the FTR1200S Race Replica for nearly two months now and it has been a fantastic ride. It is balanced, it is powerful, it is a great handling machine. However, the issue that this machine has lies within the engine tuning. It is of course designed to be leaned out to meet emissions and also the first gen engine does have injectors in a different point within the head than the new. This does mean this machine is not hop and dash what-so-ever, which can be an issue from time to time. It wants it's time to heat up to about 140 with stock equipment to get running happy and not hiccup. Try to go earlier and it will make you pay with fueling hiccups and stalls. Although this does not hurt my perception of an exceptional machine it is something that is a bit of an over sight from the engineers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from ONE OF A KIND BIKE Love the look, except the rear fender. Wish they did something different. There is no storage at all, not even for a registration or insurance card. There is loads of power and super fun to ride. Upright position is great once I switched to the Rally bars. Great information display even in direct sunlight. Throttle a little touchy but I think there is an update for this. The tires are surprisingly grippy even on dirt or gravel roads. Can easily ride until you need gas which is usually about 100-120 miles. Slight negative on the fuel fill up but not terrible. The tank could be bigger for sure. Well balanced, wheelies easy until you become used to it. Too quiet. I needed to remove the baffles but all in all highly recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievable power! I'm a old flattracker and love the street tracker look.
Date published: 2021-04-18
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Back Road Heaven I'm really enjoying this bike. I like to carve twistie back roads and this bike does it better than most (I have owned over 50 motorcycles in my life). Power is very good, particularly low end grunt pulling out of corners. It may seem a little tall to some but the little extra height and the wide bars make it a delight to ride on roads with lots of transitioning from side to side. While I know it is not a "true" flat tracker, the styling is flat track. And that styling carries some inherent behavior with it so when the road turns to gravel or dirt this bike is very comfortable. The flat-ish seat that blends into the tank makes it easy to move back and forth transferring weight from one tire to the other depending on what you are doing. I'm not a wheelie guy, but if that is your thing this bike does them easily. And when it's time to hit the slab to get from one set of twisties to the next, there is cruise control. Such a nice addition. My only issues are driven by the EPA or the DOT or some other Gov't agency. I find the exhaust to be too quiet for such a muscle bike and the mirrors don't work very well for my height and build. These are pretty minor complaints for a bike that I find just about perfect in every other aspect. It has taken a lot of years and a lot of bikes, but I may have found my perfect bike. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Motorcycle I finally pulled the trigger an bought the exact motorcycle I wanted! I love the seating position, and the engine pulls like a freight train at any RPM. The build quality is great with quality materials and construction used though out the bike. Initially had some cold start issues that were easily resolved with a PV3 tuner from DynoJet and Fuel Moto. I also added a S&S slip-on exhaust, and a Corbin tail tidy to move the liscense plate under the seat. The TFT digital display is great, easy to read in any light and super informative, it can also link to your phone and helmet speakers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Almost perfect The good: The bike that needed to be made. Great power, handling and features. A joy to ride and to look at. The bad: 90 mile distance to the gas station gets old. The fueling is. Joke, needs to idle for 5 minutes until the temp gets to 160 because if not it will stall on you. It stalls several times at idle and for a Fi bike, no reason for that. My engine light came on and when I took it to the dealer they charged me 35 bucks to clear it. It came on AGAIN, but turned off on its own. I hope it doesn’t come on again. And lastly, this is my first and only bike which doesn’t have a quick key release for the seat? Why not? Now I can’t store little stuff and where do I put my insurance ID card? Oh wait, not last, I wish I had an option to remove the baffles off of the exhaust.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well Okay I made the mistake of buying my bike in February. February in Kansas is the worst part of winter. I haven't had many chances to ride it and most of the work I have done on it is change the muffler from stock and the mirrors also. The couple of times I have been on the bike have been really nice. People take notice of it and want to talk about it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels Like Americana I was unsure what to make of the complaints about the cold blooded nature of this bike. Since I live in FL it wasn’t ever going to be cold enough to really matter though. I don’t mind waiting a few minutes while it warms up to start my journey. Usually start the Ftr and put on my jacket an gloves. Then I mount my phone and and ready to ride. The bike warms up pretty quickly in the 60-70 temperature. Once I’m riding the bike is a ton of fun to ride. The low end torque means you don’t have to really be precise in gear selection as the v-twin just pulls right along. Reminds you of a v-8 Mustang/Camaro. It’s not the fastest or best handling bike money can buy but I bought it to cruise around town and have fun on. I picked this Indian over the Bmw NineT because it’s just more of everything that’s fun about this type of bike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great concept and performance I love the bike, installing lots of extras - which are easy to install, albeit pricey. Things I like: Touch screen (and USB port), power, styling, exhaust isn't obnoxious and it is decently comfortable for shorter rides. Things I don't like: cold starts, stock tires are a bit slick, and the comfort of the seat. I purchased the rally seat as it is slightly more comfortable, but I wouldn't go on rides over 200 miles with either seat and expect to have a non-numb booty. I am expecting Indian to provide an ECU flash to fix the cold start issue (yes, it is really an issue). Indian - please help us with this. We all would appreciate it (especially in the northern states). This is my reason for giving it 4 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great ride! I traded in my Ducati Monster because I loved the look of this machine. It’s nimble, very torquey and very fun. Once you’re done with the break in period, switch it to sport mode and be amazed at the power. The stock tires are a little loosely goosey in the corners. I rode it through the rain of a tropical storm, rain mode sure got its test and performed outstandingly. It turns a lot of heads and props a lot of questions. Highly recommend to anyone.

Date published: 2020-12-13
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lot of fun but ride is jerky and throws off too mu Bought a month ago, traded in a CBR600RR so the change was pretty stark. I know it will take time to get used to the lumbering acceleration but I’m getting there. Really don’t like the intense heat thrown onto my heights during hot days, but didn’t notice as much during a cool day drive. Not sure if it’s normal but there is a cycling rhythm that’s pretty annoy,ing. Maybe it’s a loose change that will be fixed when I have the 500 mile service. Feels like the engine is missing very methodically. Lastly, no fault of the bike, it’s just slightly too tall for me and I can’t get both feet flat on the ground. Thought that wouldn’t matter but it puts a good bit of pressure on my legs when standing at stops.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not your Grandpa's Indian! Test rode one at Indian Demo days event and was hooked. Bought the 1200S in Black/Grey. This is a tire smoki'n wheelie pop'in hooligan bike. Makes me feel like a kid again. Comfortable and easy to ride. Added aftermarket exhaust to reveal the thunderous sound of the Vtwin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic engine, chassi but lacking features 500 miles in about six weeks. Lots of power and agility in a completely predictable and reliable ride. It’s fast! Great build quality and finish. Not only that, but it is beautifully designed too! The negative is that some features considered normal in a top of the line product like this are missing, not even existing as optional. These are; 1. No GPS support in the dash. Highly irritating. 2. Levers are not adjustable. It would be so easy to include this from the start. 3. Fuel cap comes loose when opened. What were you thinking? 4. Old school metal key. Keyless, at least as an option, would have been more in line with the times. All these things considered, I still love the bike. Did I say it is beautiful too? And fast!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected Bought it and love the bike. It accelerates and corners like nothing else I have ever owned. The technology is helpful and not in the way of the riding experience at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Bike This really is an amazing bike. Overall the bike is incredible. Really feels like a true naked sport bike. It's could use a little more top end power to truly compete in this class but power isn't everything. The Ohlin suspension is great to say the least. Overall fit and finish of the bike is very good. The color theme of the bike is spot on as a factory race replica and love all of the true carbon fiber body work. I do wish Indian would have included for carbon accents rather than making us buy them as accessories. It is called the Carbon after all. It make a great addition to the garage next to my Challenger.Love that's it's an American made quality motorcycle.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good all around bike Have a little over 1000 miles since purchasing a few weeks ago. Bike handles great, smooth linear performance. Great looking l, brakes, suspension too. The only negatives 1)The bike will randomly stall at traffic lights at least 2 or 3 times on a typical riding day. 2) I bought the FTR Carbon and thought I’d have m upgraded nice seat. No such luck the seat is beyond miserable after 100 miles in the saddle. Have a Corbin on order, hope that solves it. Other than those two items that I’d love solved , the bike is awesome

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this Bike! I bought my FTR R Carbon about a month ago. Due to some really poor weather conditions I just got through my 500 mile break in period the other day. This bike is an absolute blast to ride! The power is outstanding. The handling is amazing. And the bike is gorgeous! Lots of people have no idea what it is and have never seen one. Get out to a demo if you have the oppurtunity. I think you may just decide that you need one of these in your stable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just as I had hoped for! I'm not one to carry on, but I bought my 2022 FTR R Carbon after some seriously exhaustive research. There are lots of bikes that really do compete in one area or the other. I felt that for me, there was not another bike that offered even 2/3 of what I valued as important. (aesthetics, build quality, performance, usable features) I would say that, overall, aesthetically, there were zero peers for this machine, though there are some very nice alternatives. I really like the content put into this machine, I don't like buying something only to start buying more things. I did add ProTaper handlebars from the Rally model, but that was all I had changed prior to delivery. To be fair, the fuel tank size is tragically, embarrassingly small. But (keeping in the vein of full disclosure) I don't plan on long, cross country rides, so this wasn't a deciding factor for me, personally. I don't see me getting rid of this one for the foreseeable future, as she is a keeper!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It really is all the hype says it is I am so happy I decided to go with the 2022. Not that there is anything wrong with the previous models. However those little tweaks have made handling so great. The big difference Being if you get yourself in trouble in a corner you can lean forward over the bars/tank/airbox and that front rake with the 17” front, bails you out of trouble and is forgiving. The styling is nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Dream Bike I have about 2k miles on mine so far and absolutely love it! Only thing it’s lacking is gps functionality on the ride command. It’s the only ride command system without it! Also a retune to smooth out the engine surging would be nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A sweet sweet bike got this about a month ago and have 1500 miles so far. I love EVERYTHING about this bike EXCEPT......... the heat BUT at when moving the heat goes away (unless you touch the frame on the right side... ouch). Id wish the seat had some heat resistant shielding under it or something to help with the booty heat but other than that its great. OH and get some parts on cyclegear! i want to buy stuff for this bike but it is still not available on their website, I would love to buy some Roland Sands stuff for it.

Don't need a quick shifter never had a bike that clustchless shifts as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bike I always liked the FTR, when I wanted to add a third motorcycle and when I found the FTR R Carbon I knew I wanted one. I liked some of the changes to the 2022 but not all of them. I liked the lowered seat height, at 5'11" I can flat foot so the old seat height would have been fine but I may have no been able to flat foot it. I also like is the 17 inch rims because of the tire selection, the stock tire is a quality tire. The Ohlins suspension is very good, I wont be taking this bike to the track but I am very happy with the suspension. So far my biggest complaint is the welded cat and having t o drill a hole in the mufflers to remove the baffle. My other complaints are very minor like the bezzels on the ride command are very large, also when removing the license plate bracket the frame wasn't painted underneath. My last critique is that the stock seat could be more comfortable, it is a good looking seat with the FTR logo on it and I dont want to swap it out but I might have to. Overall it is a well rounded feature packed bike that looks very good. I am glad I got one of the 750 Carbons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic ride! I originally went to a demo event to try the new chief, and had no intentions of ever owning an FTR. And then I rode one. I put down my deposit as soon as the test ride was over. This has quickly become my favorite ride in my stable.
Date published: 2021-06-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 FTR Carbon I love everything about it except the seat height - I am 6'4" and while I understand Indian had to "fix" the average inseam problem, it doesn't fit me as is. But that is fixable. The only thing that would make it better is if it was belt drive and made in East Troy, Wisconsin. But oh yeah - that is why I bought my FTR in the first place.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from big guy on a small bike ! I am a 380lbs. 6 foot 2 inch man. the scout 60 fits me fine and has no power issues packing me around. I die add the extended reach seat. also, an 8 in app hanger would be best for taller riders. the reason for the one star us based on the shocks, and mirror arms. I belive there could have been a way better stock shock added to this bike then what's on it now. also, the mirror arms are short. makes it difficult to adjust for tall riders. over all the scout 60 is a great beginner bike. and with modifications, it can be a great town bike. not to sure about long highway runs yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rides as good as it looks! This bike is a ton of fun. It's a middleweight cruiser that handles and feels very light and nimble. It's got tons of power too! The looks of the bike are awesome as well (I constantly get compliments from friends and complete strangers). The only two (minor) complaints I have are that the stock seat is a bit rough and the stock exhaust note could be better (I personally like a louder note, but not all will agree). Those issues are in no way reasons not to get the bike though, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a cruiser!

I have been riding since I got it and I am in love with this bike. Its perfect and powerful

Rated 5 out of 5 by from surprising power & agility Scout Sixty is considered an entry level bike, that may be true, but I see no reason to "upgrade". I love the minimalist look and retro feel, & with low CG and perfect rake, it is extremely nimble and agile, but still smooth enough for long trips... plus it has the power to run with any bike I have encountered. love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great at what its meant to be Own a ‘21 scout sixty and absolutely love it. It is easy to handle making it great for any level of rider. Power is great for the size. Long trips are rough on the body without significant aftermarket upgrades and passengers wont like it, period. Exhaust is weak and is laughable but some slip ons change that no problem. Overall cant ask for anything more for $9400 and its surprising you get as much as you do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Bike Have owned the scout 60 for a little over a month and am extremely satisfied with it. Added a tank bag, 21 inch quick release wind screen, and footboards to replace the stock pegs. Slight adjustment on the shifter to allow foot under the shifter and all was good. Excellent handling and ease of use. Power is good making throttle response and acceleration feel lively. Sound is muted but removing the baffles cured that issue. Overall look is beautiful and the accessories are available to make it your own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my scout I've had several other bikes over the years, but this one fits me perfectly. I've had trouble with center of gravity on other bikes, and being a senior, and a short one, at that, I'm so pleased with my 2021 scout. It just glides wherever I go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly perfect Outstanding sales rep and mechanic at Bestline in State College PA made my purchase a pleasant one. I would offer two suggestions to Indian: 1. Provide a gas gauge. Please! 2. A slightly lower first gear would be welcome. Starting out on gravel or grass often results in either overly slipping the clutch (irritating), or stalling the bike (embarrassing). The snap on one of my otherwise gorgeous tan saddle bags is not sewn properly, so that the flap does not lay flat. Not a big issue, perhaps, but for bags that cost over one thousand dollars…!?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Handling and Fun to ride I traded in a larger bike and I am so glad that I did. The Scout Sixty is perfect for me. It has a low seat and low center of gravity. The main thing is how nimble and easy to handle it is. I also love the look of it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beauty in Engineering The characteristics of this engine are extremely impressive. The noise and feel it gives off makes me smile. It's smooth classy at low speeds and when you open it up on the freeway it shows it's teeth. The roar it makes touches the soul. Found myself giggling inside my helmet as I flew through a heavy downpour at 80mph on the way back from the dealership. Being a soldier means having to put up with things that most civilians would think ridiculous, but to us it's only work. No matter what happens I can always get on my bike and feel better. Work hard play hard. I'm 5'10" and this bike fits me perfectly. I was worried at first that due to the low ground clearance I would be dragging on tight turns, but that isn't the case. The clutch is very good and what's this, a USB port!!! How many other brands and modern designs don't automatically include this or make you pay extra to get it? Owned it less than a month and had over a dozen people tell me I have a nice bike. Yes, indeed I do. I'll be spending some money to accessorize this to my liking, speaking of which, a great many companies offer parts so the options are limitless. Going full speed towards my first service I'll be doing my own oil using the Indian brand oil change kit they offer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First Indian Motorcycle. I have had this 2022 maroon metallic Scout ABS for a few months. I wanted something with a decent size liquid cooled twin engine and on the lighter side for weight. There is a lot about the Scout that I like. The powerful engine, 6 speed tranny that shifts better than anything I have had previously, the fuel economy, vintage look, maneuverability, brand name accessories, and where it is built. The paint, fit and finish are high quality. The motor is very responsive and it does provide a subtle rumble. This isn't a loud thumper with the stock exhaust. I get in the 50s for gas mileage so fuel economy is great! I bought the Indian extended reach seat and that proved to be comfortable, I haven't got sore riding for an hour. The speedometer has digital functions like tach, clock, trip meter, odometer, and even a battery gage. This is switched via a toggle lever near the left side handlebar grip. I have been impressed with how well this Scout handles! It's nimble. The brakes work very well with no skidding but excellent stopping power. I like the vintage look with the long fenders. These bikes are customizable with many options for seats, handlebars, headlights, windshields. The accessories from Indian motorcycle have all fit well. This is my favorite of any bike I have owned. And it's built in midwest America.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Indian Scout I lucked out even finding this bike! I have been waiting two year. the first time I sat on one two years ago. I knew it was perfect. What I didn’t know is the power, handling ability, and snap that this bike has. Perfectly balanced, easy to maneuver, and quick doesn’t explain this bike. I have had makes and females alike stop to ask about it. Even ‘die-hard’ bikers from that other major manufacturer that want to go test out their local dealerships now! I added a few aftermarket items, wind deflector/ shield, front rider floor boards instead of pegs, changed the shifter and brake pegs to a flat style peg, locking leather bags, and slip on pipes, .... I am sure there is something else too ... The sales team and everyone at NorthAmerican Warhorse we’re phenomenal! Joe, Kenny, Tim all were fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone as they know what they are talking about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2020 Indian Scout 100th Anniversary - Best bike I have only owned 4 other motorcycles but now that I am retired, I own the best. This Special Edition Indian Scout is the nicest motorcycle I have ever owned. The speed and power are unbelievable and I can't park it anywhere without people coming up to me to talk about this beautiful bike. Beig vertically challenged, I had a reducer reach seat and foot controls added and this bike fits me like a glove. I was a bit concerned about purchasing this bike as I had not owned a motorcycle for some years, but it was so easy to become comfortable on it. After the test ride, I was sold and couldn't wait to take delivery. It hasn't disappointed me and I am very particular with what I buy. I have since ordered the Quick Release Windshield and am waiting for that to arrive. I would highly recommend the Indian Scout to anyone looking to get into a great, easy to ride motorcycle

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent bike I bought the bike about two months ago, and have put about 1500 miles on it since purchase. It's a real pleasure to ride, plenty of power, smooth, and a head-turner. Two things Indian could do better on future models: (1) add a helmet lock; (2) add a center-stand. The former of these is easy enough to add on yourself. The latter is essential if you're going to do any serious work on the bike yourself.

I now have about 1,700 miles on this bike in a couple of months. I had researched it well in advance. I originally ordered a scout 60 but this one came in stock first and I went with it. So glad I did as this is not too much engine for a newbie like me. I like that I'm not hunched over like I would have been on the bobber. I do not like the stock seat or suspension. Seat is painful to me after 30 minutes and hitting any bumps is bone jarring on the spine. I'm upgrading both eventually. The stock exhaust sounds like a vacuum cleaner is running so I installed slip-ons myself. I wish all Indians came with the headdress on the tank. I removed my Indian Scout badge, went bare a bit, then added the headdress. I think the Scout is also the only bike that doesn't come with floorboards but rather just pegs. I've ordered these to upgrade. I'm annoyed that in order to change the air filter you must remove the gas tank. What a major pain that is going to be. I do wish the fuel tank was a bit bigger as I seem to have to fill up ever 120 miles or so to be safe. Overall, I love the way it rides and I've even had Harley owners stop and tell me they were thinking of switching, this bike looked cool, etc. Love the ride overall. (Tried uploading photos but no matter what I did I could not meet this site's guidelines. Too tall, too narrow, too large.)

Scout Bobber
Starting at $12,249 US MSRP
2022 Scout Bobber Black Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 666.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from In love I bought my very first bike to celebrate my 40th birthday. It's the 2022 Scout Bobber 20. I absolutely love the feeling of being on it. I ordered all my upgrades at that time. Indian makes a gorgeous bike. There are a few things I'd wish were different. If you're looking for a loud bike, you need aftermarket pipes. There's is NO fuel display... Completely mind blowing. So, do quick math or set your odometer to track it... Polaris, get with the program and fix this. For order turn around time: I ordered the bike on mAy 14, and it came in Aug 07. Everything was put on at the dealership, and it's gorgeous. I'm still waiting on footboards, as of Oct 17. From start to finish, the sales team was so wonderful and kept me in the loop as they new things. Indian of Marietta was amazing

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a fun ride - never want it to stop. Great look and feel. Very easy for a first time rider. I do recommend an safety course in your state if its provided - that was beneficial. This bike handles well. I get so many complements on it. It just fits me. And the Indian brand is stuck to me for life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 22 Scout Bobber Non ABS I ordered my bike on 2/25/22 and picked it up 8/09/22. This was a very long wait in my opinion but I'm thrilled with what I received. I love this bike and don't ever see me selling it or trading it in for another. I went with the thunder black metallic finish cause I didn't see spending this type of money for something that looks like it's primers regardless of how some people think that finish is attractive or cool. I loved the paint more after I got the bike home and gave it its first wash and wax. It looks like a black mirror. The blacked out finish is nice to a degree but begs for some chrome here and there for contrast. The bike looks and runs awesome. About the only things I'd change about it mechanically is I feel like the engine idle speed is a touch high. At operating temperature it idles at 1150. I feel like this should come down to around 850-950. It wants to immediately take off when the clutch is released without applying any throttle. I've tested this out and went down the road just on idle and have easily been able to upshift to 2nd gear. The other mechanical change I'd like to see is quieter bearings in the electric fan. It's pretty well loud and the first time I heard it I thought something was wrong with the bike. I changed the stock exhaust out for something much louder and I can still hear the fan. The bike handles great and its done everything I've asked it to do with ease. The stock seat is annoying and doesn't hold you in place. I plan on changing this to something much better soon. The biggest issue that I have with this bike is that I can't seem to be able to go anywhere and not attract attention and be able to get in and out of somewhere quickly. It never fails that atleast 2 or 3 people approach me with compliments and questions. If you don't like attention or aren't a people person then thus bike probably isn't for you. Also, i live in a rural and heavily agricultural area in southside Virginia. This is a gorgeous place to live and ride. Im blessed with lots of natural scenery, windy backgrounds and very close to a state park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Not all my riding happens on pavement is my point. Ive riden on dirt, gravel and grassy fields and had full confidence in this bike the entire time. This bike is not at all a dirt bike but it does great on some limited and light offroad use. This fits completely with my perceptions of Indian bikes and how they started ovet 100 years ago. These bikes were riden on unpaved roads, in pastures and even on battlefields. I've loved Indian bikes all my life but thus is the first time I've had the pleasure of owning one. I visited several brand dealerships before my purchase and sat on many a seat but I didn't feel like it was for me until I sat on an Indian Scout. This is an unusual bike and people stare at it like it's a spaceship or something like that. I really like that it's different. I like my bikes the way I like my women and that is uncommon and not one that everyone else in creation has had. If you want to be one of the masses then buy an HD, If you appreciate being an Individual then buy an Indian. Thank you Polaris for building a truly awesome bike and I feel sure it will probably outlive me and still be riding down the road decades from now like Indians are known to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from HOLD ON TIGHT After reading all the reviews I could and photos. I decided on the Indian motorcycle. Found the right color! Right features. I wanted a nice simple bike. No bell or whistles just BIKE. This bike is awsome! Way more power than I expected. Handling is amazing balance is great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish Ride Really happy with the look and performance of the bike but can't give it 5 stars (which it deserves) due to the appalling stock seat and equally appalling rear suspension! Have since changed seats and suspension (front and rear progressive) plus added an LED headlight which really should have been standard amongst many other personal performance and cosmetic changes that Indian is very much lacking in ability to supply, Indian really needs to do better here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an adventure My entire life as a rider, I have always given my attention to the Asian ladies (sport bikes) as they always tickled my speed rush and road hugging. Now that I’m older and my back not all that great, I gave our American big bone babies a chance. And wow not what I expected, the power and capabilities this scout has..oh my after some upgrades the sound of American muscle built here in the states has me very pleased and happy…always looking for a chance to take her out and get her screaming but yet sidle comfort ride. I do say I’m happy Indian has my full attention.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great starter bike After 26 years of not having a bike I finally broke down and bought an Indian Scout Bobber. Great bike to get back on the road with. Only had it for about 5 weeks and have put almost 1k miles on it. It’s not so great for interstate riding, just doesn’t have the power. It’s is great for rural roads and backroads all day long tho. It’s fairly quick and agile, great on curvy roads. I have been on a couple 1.5 hr rides and the seat gets really uncomfortable after about an hour. My hopes are to keep this bike for 2-3 years then trade up to something a lil bigger.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a fun ride - never want it to stop. Great look and feel. Very easy for a first time rider. I do recommend an safety course in your state if its provided - that was beneficial. This bike handles well. I get so many complements on it. It just fits me. And the Indian brand is stuck to me for life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 22 Scout Bobber Non ABS I ordered my bike on 2/25/22 and picked it up 8/09/22. This was a very long wait in my opinion but I'm thrilled with what I received. I love this bike and don't ever see me selling it or trading it in for another. I went with the thunder black metallic finish cause I didn't see spending this type of money for something that looks like it's primers regardless of how some people think that finish is attractive or cool. I loved the paint more after I got the bike home and gave it its first wash and wax. It looks like a black mirror. The blacked out finish is nice to a degree but begs for some chrome here and there for contrast. The bike looks and runs awesome. About the only things I'd change about it mechanically is I feel like the engine idle speed is a touch high. At operating temperature it idles at 1150. I feel like this should come down to around 850-950. It wants to immediately take off when the clutch is released without applying any throttle. I've tested this out and went down the road just on idle and have easily been able to upshift to 2nd gear. The other mechanical change I'd like to see is quieter bearings in the electric fan. It's pretty well loud and the first time I heard it I thought something was wrong with the bike. I changed the stock exhaust out for something much louder and I can still hear the fan. The bike handles great and its done everything I've asked it to do with ease. The stock seat is annoying and doesn't hold you in place. I plan on changing this to something much better soon. The biggest issue that I have with this bike is that I can't seem to be able to go anywhere and not attract attention and be able to get in and out of somewhere quickly. It never fails that atleast 2 or 3 people approach me with compliments and questions. If you don't like attention or aren't a people person then thus bike probably isn't for you. Also, i live in a rural and heavily agricultural area in southside Virginia. This is a gorgeous place to live and ride. Im blessed with lots of natural scenery, windy backgrounds and very close to a state park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Not all my riding happens on pavement is my point. Ive riden on dirt, gravel and grassy fields and had full confidence in this bike the entire time. This bike is not at all a dirt bike but it does great on some limited and light offroad use. This fits completely with my perceptions of Indian bikes and how they started ovet 100 years ago. These bikes were riden on unpaved roads, in pastures and even on battlefields. I've loved Indian bikes all my life but thus is the first time I've had the pleasure of owning one. I visited several brand dealerships before my purchase and sat on many a seat but I didn't feel like it was for me until I sat on an Indian Scout. This is an unusual bike and people stare at it like it's a spaceship or something like that. I really like that it's different. I like my bikes the way I like my women and that is uncommon and not one that everyone else in creation has had. If you want to be one of the masses then buy an HD, If you appreciate being an Individual then buy an Indian. Thank you Polaris for building a truly awesome bike and I feel sure it will probably outlive me and still be riding down the road decades from now like Indians are known to do.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish Ride Really happy with the look and performance of the bike but can't give it 5 stars (which it deserves) due to the appalling stock seat and equally appalling rear suspension! Have since changed seats and suspension (front and rear progressive) plus added an LED headlight which really should have been standard amongst many other personal performance and cosmetic changes that Indian is very much lacking in ability to supply, Indian really needs to do better here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an adventure My entire life as a rider, I have always given my attention to the Asian ladies (sport bikes) as they always tickled my speed rush and road hugging. Now that I’m older and my back not all that great, I gave our American big bone babies a chance. And wow not what I expected, the power and capabilities this scout has..oh my after some upgrades the sound of American muscle built here in the states has me very pleased and happy…always looking for a chance to take her out and get her screaming but yet sidle comfort ride.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great starter bike After 26 years of not having a bike I finally broke down and bought an Indian Scout Bobber. Great bike to get back on the road with. Only had it for about 5 weeks and have put almost 1k miles on it. It’s not so great for interstate riding, just doesn’t have the power. It’s is great for rural roads and backroads all day long tho. It’s fairly quick and agile, great on curvy roads. I have been on a couple 1.5 hr rides and the seat gets really uncomfortable after about an hour. My hopes are to keep this bike for 2-3 years then trade up to something a lil bigger.

Chief
Starting at $14,999 US MSRP
2022 Chief Black Metallic is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 42.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect This is the biggest engine I've had. At first I was concerned but it is exceptionally balanced and perfect height. Getting used to the bike I kept it in standard mode. First ride in sport mode was super touchy. Now it stays in sport mode. It will pull you off the seat if unprepared for a throttle dive! Love it! It's a head turner too I get compliments all around for the style and paint job.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 2022 chief ABS 150 mile review I bought the chief the end of March across state because my closet dealer couldnt get ine for several months and the cross state dealer wouldnt trade for it. Since its new England I havent had too many days to ride so 200 miles is spread over 8-10 urban rides. After having it delivered and it wouldnt start, the dealer said let it charge a couple of days. Fast forward a month bike dies at the ice cream stand. Jump start and limp home. Dealer picks it up and replaces the battery and also repairs an oil leak from what they report as an improperly torqued side cover.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Love hate In a few years it will be good. But never ever buy a bike that is one of the first ever to come out. Indian doesn’t have any parts available. I bought a few things like a passenger seat, sissy bar, passenger pegs, and saddle bags over two months ago when I bought the bike. I’m still waiting on stuff. The Indian parts situation is a joke. maybe in a year they’ll have some stuff in stock. Otherwise the bike is okay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1st and last Cruiser. After my first test ride, I said I have to have this bike. I did wanted to wait for the DarkHorse to become available but I'm glad I decided on this one. I'm coming from the Sport bike world so this being my 1st cruiser, I was hesitant. The Chief blew away my expectations. Being 600lbs+ I expected it to ride like a brick. I'm able to flick this into corners and having so much torque, power is no issue. The only issues I have is I really, really wanted the Ride Command but the Chief comes with the traditional analog dash. The other issues would be there isn't a huge assortment of aftermarket parts out there.. most of the Indian parts are very expensive but not to the Harley price point. I have purchased the stage 1 forward air intake and slip on. This isn't my grandparents motorcycle.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Fun bike, good looking but some flaws The bike looks great, its fast. Deceivingly fast. Some nice features, some features it lacks. The throttle response needs to be addressed however. Its either on or off, you can't just ease into it like most bikes. This bike you roll on it at all and its rather abrupt, hate this! Headlamp is small for the bike. The exhaust is WAY WAY WAY too quiet! Bikes should make noise, this one is very quiet, pulling up to a red light you can't even hear the engine running. Disappointed overall with the quality of the bike, Indian makes better bikes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Smooth I’ve had the bike for about a month now. It’s a standard Chief with the 111 motor. I have been doing mostly recreational riding and boy is it smooth. I have had several Japanese bikes, a Big Dog and a few Harleys too. This is the smoothest bike I have ever had. Everything is smooth, the ride, the handling, the feel and the look too. The only thing not smooth is the Sport Mode. Sport mode is short for….hang on or you just might end up looking at the backside of your bike as it heads on without you. The Thunderstroke looks great, sounds great (with an aftermarket pipe), and is the smoothest motor ever. Great power and pull. The seat works great for the two hour rides I typically take. The drag bars are comfortable for my 6’1” height bit, I wish Indian had some 2” handle risers available as they would then be perfect. The mid controls work fine but I would be more comfortable with forward controls. I may have to change them out. I love the 19” front tire and it handles super well. Crack and road imperfections are unnoticeable. Grips are comfortable and the controls, gauge controls, and cruise control work very well. The minors are nice looking and have a great field of view. The functions on the standard gauge package are great and the trigger controls are easy to use. The pipes look great but are way too quiet and too lengthy for my tastes. And aftermarket pipe will solve that problem…..when they are finally available. The only downside is the availability of Indian parts and accessories. I bought a passenger seat, sissy bar with pad and some passenger pegs an am still waiting for half my parts. The lack of aftermarket parks is also a downer. Since the the Chief model is new this year, the are very few aftermarket options. My dealer didn’t have a Chief to ride so I ordered my bike and waited about 8 weeks for it to arrive. I ordered my accessories at that time but still don’t have them all. I have one aesthetics suggestion. The Chief needs some optional struts for the rear fender. The Scout has them and they look great. The flat side on the Chief’s rear fender looks a little bland, boring and too flat. In my opinion, I t’s the only cosmetic thing off on the bike. Please Indian, please make some nicely sculpted rear fender struts for the Chief. All in all, the bike is amazing, smooth, fun and as tasty as a hot fudge Sunday on a Friday night.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Needs some improvements I bought this bike about a month ago. It is super quick and handles great. It has horrible ergonomics and is very uncomfortable to ride any length of time. The foot pegs are too high and too far back. You can hardly reach the kickstand because the pegs are in the way. The handle bars are way too low and forward also. I plan to install the forward controls and cruiser handlebars. This will make the bike way more comfortable for me. I’m disappointed that the bike was launched way before most any of the accessories are available including the above mentioned items that I need to change.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Midweight Cruiser I purchased the Chief almost two months ago but the fact that I ride several bikes and the spring weather has not always cooperated I have managed to put 400 miles on it. I purchased a few accessories on day one but am still waiting for some of the components to install them. I do not like the drag bars so I am going to put the cruiser bars with the 17" windshield. I will also swap the stock seat for the 1920 solo seat which will get me up a bit higher so I will have more comfort to the mid control foot pegs. The bike is fun to ride, very nimble and plenty of power. Fit and finish is excellent.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good bike, but outdated It is a good bike, but it is not worth $18,000. The cruise control was on the right side of the handle bars, this causes unnecessary multitasking. The gauges were on the tank and I kept having to move my head up and down making it difficult to see. And it did not even come with Heel-toe shifting. My $9000 Suzuki comes with that, a windshield, and bags! The 111 is also Air Cooled. Triumph has a 2300 CC bike that is liquid cooled. I would only pay about $13,000 at the max, any more this bike is very little bang for your buck. It is simply outdated and overpriced.

Chief Dark Horse
Starting at $17,499 US MSRP
2022 Chief Dark Horse Black Smoke is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 370.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great all around motorcycle! The Indian chief dark horse is a great all-around motorcycle. This bike basically can do it all, short runs to long touring. Having the 4 inch ride command is extremely helpful. You can never get lost with the built-in GPS. The rider modes and Bluetooth capabilities are a big plus! I am 5'9 and 230 pounds and it fits me like a glove. I also love the accessories. I added an 8 inch mini ape handlebars and a performance air intake. Lastly, the dealership experience was exceptional. The people at Indian Motorcycle of Monmouth are true professionals.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Dark Horse amd not impressed. Well I would like to say I'm satisfied but to be honest I'm really not. I got the top of the line dark horse but yet it came with chrome exhaust covers. I asked the dealer if they are planning on sending a bkack set, they will contact you. So right away this doesn't sound good when the dealer and manufacturer are not communicating. The key FOB straight from the dealer would not keep synced with the bike had to order a new one. Not only that but after paying 22k altogether for everything you'd think it would come with 2 key fobs just like any normal vehicle you purchase. I've had it for a little over a month now and twice now when I have gone to start it....it just turns over once and then you hear the system start up again...push the button and same thing it turns over once and stops. Did it about 10 times before finally starting. Not sure what the problem is but for a brand new bike....that isn't good. I bought this one because I was really happy with my 2020 scout bobber 20 I purchased last year but this one has been a disappointment.

The engine is gorgeous and in the open; the power is great, full of torque. The weight is down low, so riding on the road or pushing around the garage, this bike does not feel heavy. Smooth ride, fun in the twisties, powerful on the highway--and the looks--I want to bring the bike into the living room each night just to look at it, but wife won't let me. I love the bike. Solid nostalgia-laden design with good modern handling and technology. I'm not that keen on the fender or the side-mount license, but I'll deal with those later. I've liked Indian bikes before, but this one, from the first time I saw it, said I had to buy one. Worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a Machine! The engineering on this bike is Awesome! It handles, rides and overall is Amazing!! Adding a few features and I’m looking forward the parts arriving soon to get the full feel. Got the 116ci engine and it’s Awesome but, alittle too quite for me. I’ll change that soon. Overall, the 2022 Chief Dark Horse Rocks!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not bad for a polaris. For the price i would've hope to find some premium components. Lets compare the bike i just sold, 2019 Ducati Super Sport. I'll just focus on price and components such as fully adjustable Olhins forks and rear shock along with Brembo brakes, up/down quick shifter and a seat that you could sit on for more than an hour or two and finally a flip top gas cap that matched the bike. Price? I paid about $1,500. less than my new Dark Horse. I gave you a shot Polaris.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Lemon motorcycle. Bought it. Immediately had issues to what I thought was a bad fuel pump or bad battery. Had my 500 mile service done and no issues found. At 1400 miles engine codes cylinder misfire and cylinder 2 misfire, took to a dealership, nothing found. Reset codes. Rode about 40-60 miles boom, check engine light again, this time crankshaft position sensor, back to dealer, they replace sensor stated it was bad. Get bike back, rode for 40-60 miles, boom CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN!!!! cylinder misfire and cylinder 2 misfire. Dealer comes to pick it up as it's the 3rd time in a week.... Indian main office won't do anything to correct my lemon. Aside from that, the ride command does NOT work. This bike has potential, but my ol reliable the scout bobber 60 has been my clutch

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it all I bought my 2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse in July 2021 and I couldn't be happier. The bike's performance has exceeded my expectations. It has a lot of power, its very responsive and also very nimble. It handles like a bike that weighs much less than it actually does. My only cons are that stock exhaust is embarrassing. For the price point of this motorcycle you should at least be able to hear the exhaust when you roll on the throttle. Seems like a ghetto ploy to make the exhaust upgrade a must. Also for some reason my Ride Command keeps bouncing back to the starting menu while I am riding. I am not overly concerned as I am sure its just an update that can be fixed. Other that those two items the bike has been a blast and looks very aggressive. Also be aware after market parts for the Chief are essentially none existent which I am now learning. If you plan to do some mods to your bike do some research and make sure those products are made for the Indian Chief.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Bike -- 2022 Chief Dark Horse Received my 2022 Chief Dark Horse in early July after a 6 week wait. Beautiful bike! Was tender with it for first 500 mile break-in period. Since then have driven the bike in all kinds of situations and it has performed flawlessly. Stealth Grey is a great color that elicits many positive comments wherever I stop and even some jealous looks from H-D drivers. A very enjoyable bike to drive as its handling is superb and power unmatched. Just a super bike all around.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good but not great New models are always gonna have bugs to work out. No excepting to the new Chief Dark Horse. Clutch is still engaged way out there at the end of finger tips, throttle has a latency til you're moving. Then you have good response but at low speeds you'll feel the gearing jogging in and out. Seat is getting broken in but still hard on lower back/upper butt on longer rides. Will definitely be changing that out. And lastly, rear suspension is hard. Great for cornering but be ready to get bucked around on harder bumps as you hit them straight on

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 Chief Dark Horse - Awesome Amazing combination of look, technology, power and ride! Also loved my last bike, an Indian Springfield, but this one is better for me personally since it's a lot lighter as a cruiser but not too light for touring if desired. Will be even better for touring once I add the numerous accessories I want. They are all backordered until late 2021, so that's the only bummer - especially since I had to pay for the accessories up front. Still 5 stars because this is primarily about the bike and the engine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 Dark Horse I bought this 2022 Chief Dark horse about a month ago. So far I really like it. Ive put about 1400 miles on it and its been flawless. It has a lot of power and handles well. I enjoy it a lot. The headlight may need to be adjusted as its seems aimed a bit low for night time riding. The exhaust is to quiet, as all factory bikes are when you first get them. I plan to upgrade the exhaust in the future.

Chief Bobber
Starting at $16,499 US MSRP
2022 Chief Bobber Black Metallic is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 16.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Poor quality control on engine I love the bike. Fit and finish seems well worth the money. Comfortable and powerful. My only issue is at 350 miles I started having intermittent engine noise, sounded like it could be valve or rocker noise. Cut apart the filter at the dealership after the 500 mile service. It was full of metal shavings of aluminum or some other silver non magnetic material. Fresh oil and filter didnt correct the issue completely. Still has intermittent upper engine noise.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Electrical issues on a new bike Love riding this bobber. The look, feel and ride are above expectations. I rate a 4 die to the fact that Day 2 I had chassis fault warning lights come in the dash and was informed this is a known issue, that nobody bothered to tell me about when I purchased the bike. The dealership said it’s ok to ride but every time I get on I’m annoyed by these warning lights, on my bran new bike. They said they are not sure they can do anything about it, it’s up to Indian, but they’d look at it when I bring my bike in for 500 mile service. Frustrating to say the least. I should have asked more questions.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Mixed feelings I traded my 2015 Indian Springfield with low mlielage for the new 2022 Indian Chief Bobber because I am no longer able to swing my leg over the seat of the Springfield. My Wife no longer joins me on long rides so I no longer need a large cruiser.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from All of the power I’ve had my Bobber for over 2 months now. As for as performance goes, I couldn’t be happier! This bike is everything my Softail thought it was. However, besides unbearably quite, there is some sort of issue with the tank and how it is mounted to the frame. It makes an awful metal on metal ‘ping’ sound over every bump in the road. EVERY BUMP. It sounds bad, and it’s annoying.

Chief Bobber Dark Horse
Starting at $19,499 US MSRP
2022 Chief Bobber Dark Horse Black Smoke is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 32.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sport Mode isn’t for beginners Killer looks, Excellent balance, and more power than you need stock. Sport mode is twitchy sketchy fun, sometimes too much but makes me grin every time. Suspension is too soft for two riders, same problem as the Scout. Highly recommend the passenger pillion, not for the extra rider but it stops you from doing a full Superman when you get on it in sport mode. Can’t wait to see how future mods open up normal and sport modes. I wish I could have opted for a Dark Horse without the fancy speedo. Highly recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It's fun 2200 miles, 4 weeks, it's fast and easy to control. Definitely would take the touchscreen and trade it back in for some money back because it blows. The navigation takes you in circles to where your going, the roads like to disappear, and it likes to freeze if you have it in nav mode for more than 30 minutes. Also, definitely some redesigning to be done. The pickup tube is on the right side of the tank, won't start if it's on the kickstand with a gallon or less of gas. You have to stand it up and start it. Good solid cruiser and I love it but definitely would not buy this year model until they fix some things and or come out with a dark horse 116 without the P O S touchscreen. I am connected via Bluetooth and it still won't let me do anything it says you can from your phone. If you ride as much as I do fork out the extra money and buy a touring bike. It's too much money for an engine and a frame basically

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bike! I’ve put 1000km on the bike and I think it’s a great all around bike. I put about 500km in the city and 500km on the highway. The bike was great in the city, and more than manageable on the highway. I will put a windshield on mine for the next highway trip. The bike has a comfortable riding position for the longer sitting times and the Bluetooth for changing your music on the go is awesome.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lives up to the name! I drove my Indian Chief Bobber DH across the US from North Carolina to California. I was able to test this motorcycle in harshest of the conditions and it faired well on all the occasions. It endured 110 degree AZ heat, 29 degree CO snow and Tropical storm IDA in KS. In the looks and esthetics department this bike is a show stopper. The power curve of this bike is magnificent. I have a 116 motor and at no point in time I had any issues cruising on highway, over taking 18 wheeler or riding through mountains. I am not a mechanical expert but from the riders point of view bike is fully equipped on power spectrum. The tires on this bike are amazing. Rain/Snow/Shine they held the bike perfectly. I encountered off roads in canyons, which these tires dealt beautifully. There are few things that I felt were not unto the mark during my 6000 mile cross country ride for which I dropped one star in rating. Pathfinder headlight: Only good when it pitch dark. On highways it is next to useless as it does not illuminate the road. Passenger footrest support: On a 20 grand bike, Indian gave me this small piece of metal on one side with provision to add one other side. Ridiculous!! Exhaust pipe shield: The exhaust of this bike is unforgiving. If you sit on the bike normally during the ride and you aren't cautious, the pipes will burn you pants, literally. During my ride I was wearing Joe rocket riding pants. They got destroyed, so also my rain gear which basically I had to discard because the resin got stuck to the pipes. Being an engineer myself, I would have assumed for Indian to do some testing around this issues. Side Stand Indicator: This might be a malfunction on my bike but the indicator did not work which scared the heck out of me on highway, when my stand scrapped at 75mph.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! Out of the last three Indians that I've bought, this one is my favorite. Fits right in between the Scout Bobber and my Springfield Dark Horse. Rides and handles like a champ. Great features. Only issue is the seat, it needs a little more of a bolster on the back so you don't come sliding off the back when you give it the beans. Other than that, it's a great bike and I love it. Only had it for a few months but the more I ride it the more I like it and I really liked it to begin with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great First Bike! I bought this bike July 17, 2021. This is my first bike so I have nothing to compare it with. That being said, I don’t want to be able to compare with any other bike. It is easy to learn how to ride on this bike, smooth power delivery throughout the range, plenty of passing power in any gear. And you can’t beat the 4” touch screen with ride command as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad to the Bone Bobber Purchased this bike a few months ago. Went from a sport bike to this. Was worried about giving up the fun and adrenaline but the Chief is no disappointment. It's my first cruiser and am absolutely in love with it from the way it rides, looks and sounds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Motorcycle full of tricks!! I have owned my Chief Bobber Dark Horse for just under two months. Immediately after my purchase I was blessed with the opportunity to ride 80+ miles home. This was a great opportunity for me to get to know the bike. The riding position is great for me being 6'3". I will be considering highway bars in the future for longer riders to stretch my legs but for my day to day riding I do the current setup is great! The one downside I had was the stock seat and that is true for almost any stock seat, it's comfortable for about 45-50 minutes then it is time to get off the bike and walk around for a few. Luckily enough a fellow Indian owner helped me out and added gel padding to my seat, now 100+ miles is no issue at all. I currently just have a solo seat but I may be adding a rear seat and sissy bar in the future for longer trip storage as well as saddle bags. Overall this is a great bike that is built for daily commuting, weekend trips or any other type of riding you are looking to accomplish. The price is also very appealing for how much you get on the bike!! The ride command is packed with so much stuff that I am able to monitor and track everything on the bike, while having navigation and control of my music!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Attention to detail I've had me Chief for a couple months now and absolutely love it. However, I cannot give it five stars for two reasons. One is the exhaust. It's two quiet and does not give the 116 motor any justice, and it is much to long. Second is the cable routing off of the handle bars, down in front of the gas tank. As you turn, the brake cable rub and scratch the beautiful paint on the gas tank. To me this is a simple fix but a huge oversight as many won't notice this until it's too late.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A beast...in a little package I have 3 Indian motorcycles with a 2018 Springfield DH, 2021 Challenger DH, and a 2022 Chief Bobber DH. This bike is insanely powerful. My 2018 Springfield DH was originally a TS111, but I had put the BBK and made it a TS116. From the factory this bike is a TS116 at about 250 lbs less. It is so powerful for in a much smaller form factor. You can really throw this bike around as compared to the bigger baggers. You accelerate quickly and the seat barely keeps you in. It handles really well. I am 5'10" and with the stock mini-apes, I felt a little cramped. I changed to the extended seat and it moved me back about 2" from the tank. This is a much better fit. I am looking to put on the 8" apes when available. Overall I love the look, the performance, and overall handling of this bike. Highly recommended for a cruiser. The fit and finish is amazing. Indian did such an amazing job of tucking away all of the components in such a sleek way so that the bike is very clean in the look. The 4" Ridecommand is really cool as well. They should put that on all the bikes. It has a lot of information but is cleanly organized. My only criticism is the sound on the stock exhaust. I usually don't care for stock exhaust on any bikes. I am looking forward to aftermarket options when they are available.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent companion to my Chieftain Having taken ownership of my 2022 Chief Bobber Dark Horse about 6 ago, and after logging just shy of 1800 miles, I can give some definitive observations. Simply put, I love this ride! The handling and response couldn’t be better. I’m 5’10”, with a 32” inseam, so the seat height is perfect. The seat has molded to my rear so I have the cradling effect that comes when the foam is broken in. Mini-apes put the grips right where I want them, and the forward controls complete the comfortable riding stance. Side bags are not huge, as well as the fuel tank, only holding 4 gallons. Those two drawbacks puts my Chief into the short day rides or an overnighter on occasions. The lack of a windshield would add to that limitation as well. At 80-90 mph, (with an occasional burst into triple digits), I make sure that my helmet is strapped on nice and tight. Even then, the constant buffeting can be exhausting. I love the color, opting for the Bobber DH specifically to get that. I really love the matte finish, having experience with my ‘17 Chieftain Limited in White Smoke. Neither I nor my salesman can understand why, with the blackout theme and lack of chrome parts, Indian equipped the bike with a chrome gas cap. ???? Fortunately, I borrowed one from my Limited for now, having ordered an aftermarket set from Kuryakyn. I have gotten a lot of compliments so far, and look forward to many miles of riding ahead.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Could Have Been 5 Stars Honestly, I regret purchasing the bike this year. Should have waited until next year, it would have saved me a TON of frustration. Ride Command: Has some cool features, but lacks product support. I had to take my bike back to the dealer to get the modem activated since they weren't told that was a requirement. - Cannot transfer rides from the bike to the phone app and vice versa. Would be a cool feature on a $20K bike, particularly since this is available to other Indians with Ride Command. Not a planned feature according to Customer Service Accessories: Here's why I'm so disenchanted with Indian right now, and would only recommend a Chief to someone I either didn't like, or if someone wanted the barebones bike and nothing else. Indian has totally failed to deliver on accessories. I guess more accurately, Indian has failed me, since I have seen the same parts I ordered installed on bikes that were purchased at other dcealerships, ordered and paid for the same time I did. Guess they were just lucky. The positives: - Style is awesome, I get complements on the bike all the time! - Power is amazing. 4th gear pulls on the freeway are breathtaking! - Handling is great! Feels like a much lighter bike, handles everything I throw at it. - Dealer was and is continuing to be AMAZING. Great folks, they are the reason I'm on my 2nd Indian, and wouldn't think twice about buying another bike through them.

Super Chief
Starting at $18,999 US MSRP
2022 Super Chief Black Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 22.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Purchase of my 40 year riding life I made two excellent choices on purchasing my Super Chief two months ago. The first was listening to Brad (sales manager) on what features would appeal to me. His knowledge base of riding, safety, and Indian options helped seal the deal. The second was spending the extra monies on the Super Chief over the Chief. Having all that you want on a bike day one makes for pure driving pleasure and no buyer remorse.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 4.7 Overall (Fix some things) - There's no reason this bike shouldn't have a USB port. Add one! - For the price, the bags are too small. Make them cheaper or give us bigger bags. - The Indian logo on the sides of the tank are so bad its embarrassing. They're already starting to come off. * My two cents, the Super Chief should come with highway bars or at least have highway bars readily available for each Super Chief. I ordered the bike and highway bars at the same time, got my bike in July, but I won't get the highway bars until October.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Most satisfying bike I've owned Bought white Super Chief in May, 1400 miles now. Bike looks better than photos, and it's my favorite style. Best-handling bike I've had (12 bikes since 1965; HD, Yamaha, Honda, BMW, Victory), nice balance, plenty of power for an old cruiser rider. I look for excuses to ride it. I'll keep this bike until I can't ride any more. 75 yrs old, 6', 200 lbs, extended-reach saddle, pure fun.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It took one test ride and I bought it! I absolutely love this machine. The lines are gorgeous and fit the style I was looking for. It's extremely comfortable and easy to ride. I am 5'10" and all controls are easily accessible. Seat - This stock seat is really a dream and holds my rear in place. Long trips (150+ miles) do not wear me out. Handlebars and Grips - Took a little for me to get used to and had to raise the handlebars to my comfort level. In all, a very relaxed rider position is accommodated with these bars and grips. Throttle and Clutch - The ride modes are interesting. Tour is relaxed and good for long rides, giving smooth response. Sport is twitchy and can be fun on short sprints. Standard is where I ride mostly. There is a bit of a learning curve if coming from a cable throttle to "drive by wire" as there is a smidge of response lag. The clutch has a wide friction zone but does give you more confidence. Once you learn the clutch and let it go, hang tight! It's a blast! Gas Mileage - I am getting about 150 miles plus per tank before I decide to fill up. On more relaxed rides, I could almost reach 200. The bike says I am getting an average of 44 miles per gallon. Handling - Extremely easy to handle. Surprisingly nimble even for what consider a heavy bike. Takes a bit to get used to when you shift your weight when making slow, tight turns, as I was coming from an older, smaller bike. Power and Sound - It has power to satiate any appetite! The stock exhaust is ample, but if you are used to louder pipes, go for Stage 1 right away. It's quiet enough to sneak out of the neighborhood on early mornings, but ready to roar once you get on the road. Windshield - Does a good job deflecting most wind. At higher speeds, I can feel a bit of the gusts at the top of my helmet, but not bothersome. Braking - ABS does a good job. I recently had to make an emergency stop as I did not have any exit paths. The ABS kicked in and did a great job from preventing the wheels from locking up. Cruise Control - I have used it a few times, but only in short stints as there is much traffic where I live. Works really well. Storage / Saddle Bags - These are super nice and roomy. They are not your typical giant bags and you cannot store a full helmet. They provide enough space for extras, such as your riding gear, shoes / boots, water, hats, flowers, a pineapple, gloves, etc. In all, I would highly recommend this bike to anyone who is just past starting out, unless you are comfortable handling a bobber-type bike.

Super Chief Limited
Starting at $21,499 US MSRP
2022 Super Chief Limited Maroon Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 30.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from my new super chief i love my bike, after riding super sports for 20 years, this is my first cruiser and I love the thrill, the comfortability and especially the power.
Date published: 2021-10-04
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love it! I love my super chief limited. The power is great. The handling is better than any Harley I have had and I rode Harleys for 41 years. The design is spot on for what this bike is made for. What I don't like is the rust that showed up around the screw in the center fuel tank trim. I was also disappointed when I went to adjust the handlebars and the control housings line up in a hole in the handlebars limiting range of adjustment. Also the hand control switch housings are plastic not metal.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Blast to ride! I had a 2018 Roadmaster but most of my riding was less than 3 hours and without a passenger. I feel in love with the Super Chief when I test rode it and pulled the trigger once I had the wife sit on it at the dealer. It is an absolute BLAST to ride. 200 lbs lighter with a bigger motor and much more nimble and responsive. That along with modern technology in a beautiful retro frame what's not to love! My dealership, Chesapeake Cycles in Annapolis, made buying the bike easy and have always provided top notch service before, during and after the sale. That's why I've been with them for the last 10 years. Then I went to take my daughter in law for a ride. She has long legs and is EXTREMELY uncomfortable on the back; much more so than I expected. The main cause is the height of the passenger pegs. With the shotgun pipes there doesn't seem to be much room to lower them either. I also noted that, unlike the Chieftain and Roadmaster, the Ride Command doesn't allow you to download rides from the app which is a huge disappointment. Rumor has it that Indian MIGHT fix that with a future upgrade but we'll just have to wait and see. Then the wife was finally able to ride after getting the backrest and she is very uncomfortable as well. We both expected that the passenger wouldn't be as comfortable as on a Roadmaster however, the pegs are so high that only short passengers would be comfortable on the back. My overall opinion is that this is an awesome bike for a single rider who doesn't need to plan a ride or bring a passenger along. With those limitations in mind I would recommend this bike. Even with the previously mentioned shortcomings I still can't help but smile every time I throw my leg over her! This is by far the best bike I've ever owned when I'm on it by myself; just don't expect your passenger to feel the same :-)

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Honest likes and dislikes My wife and I ordered this bike in May at a Indian Demo Days event and took delivery in June. I still own a 2017 Springfield and love everything about it, which is one reason we purchased a second Indian. We purchased the 2022 Chief for the wife due to its weight being under 750lbs and for options it offers such as cruise control, ride command, slightly larger fuel tank which you can't get in the Scout platform. Maybe it's because of our age (mid 50's), but we both dislike the bobber fenders and wish that Indian had options for longer fenders like the Scout platform offers. The functional drawback to the bobber fenders is riding on wet roads, unless you don't mind road spray up your back and on your helmet (even a rear fender 6-8" longer would have solve this issue and I believe would look better). If Indian doesn't make a longer fender in the near future, I surely hope an aftermarket company does. On that topic, the lack of a Indian made rider's backrest accessory option is disappointing for sure; again if Indian chooses not to product a backrest I'm sure an aftermarket company will soon. My wife is only about 130lbs and a fairly new rider coming off a 400lb Suzuki S40-650cc and is able to handle the Chief as well if not better than the lighter weight Suzuki. As far as the power goes; she really doesn't need the 116ci, but it was the only motor option in order to get the ride command display feature she wanted. However, the "tour mode" setting in the three ride modes this bike is equipped with is perfect for taming or calming this beast down for the less experienced riders. Finally, there will be personal likes and dislikes with any bike (eg. design/style, horsepower, colors, bars, seats, etc.), but obviously our likes for this new Indian Chief trumped our dislikes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love, Love, Love It I absolutely love my new Super Chief Limited. First of all it came with everything I wanted, i.e. windshield, saddle bags and comfy seat. Oh the seat is so comfortable. I can ride in it all day. It's a solid bike with tons of power. It'll get you where you want to go effortlessly. It's balanced really well. It leans comfortably and grabs the road well with those 3" tires.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Questionable chrome I bought an Indian Springfield back in November of 2017. Now don't get me wrong I love my bike, but the only issues I have is that the chrome trim on the fenders are plated? Maybe! On our even stuck on the trim after about a year and a half it has started to peel off. I would consider this a big deal but it does make the bike look kinda trashy. Outside of this problem I am completely happy with my indian Springfield!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from STUNNING RIDE I have owned numerous bikes and although they were all good bikes they never seemed to grab me to the point of enjoying everything the bike had to offer until this I discovered the Springfield. I was in the Indian dealership with my wife's Victory getting serviced when I came across this beautiful Springfield. After a test ride I knew this bike was for me. Love the vintage look with the valance fender, great seating position, the phenomenal work of art engine, and overall fit and finish. The next day my wife test rode a Chieftain and we traded our four bikes in for the bikes in the attached photo. We have put 8000 miles on the bikes in 6 months, including a couple of 700 mile days with more trips planned. We couldn't be happier. Absolutely love my Springfield!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Motorcycle I Have Ever Owned (I've owned 33)! Was looking for a big bike without all of the typical touring type stuff on it (big front fairing, audio/electronics, etc.). Test rode an Indian Springfield and immediately fell in love with the handling. Rides like a bike weighing hundreds of pounds less. Has power and torque to die for. Just strong as an ox. Great, beautiful looking motorcycle. The lines are perfect, much chrome, you can "see" the engine unlike some bikes that look like a big piece of plastic. When you hit the throttle, the power is awesome and the sound is perfect. I can't get enough of it!! This is our keeper motorcycle for sure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great overall cycle I love the bike. I've always liked the Vintage/Springfield styling. Haven't really got very many miles on it yet but the few minor 3 or 4 hour rides the wife and I have done it meets my expectations. Most of the Nic Picks are just me getting used to a "Heavy" bike. Well that and it's been 20 years or so since I've ridden a street bike. Never had a wind screen before so I was ready to move up to one. The electronic dash takes a little getting used to. The handle bar dash switch's are too close to the edge so every time you adjust your hands you change the readout. 45 years of driving a semi it's hard NOT to look at the tach. I also wish the speedo was farther toward the front of the tank dash assembly. I have to look down from the view to look at the speed. If Indian was to reverse the gauges so the speedo was towards the front and the two lesser used gauges closer to you I would be a happy (ier?) camper. I guess that's what aftermarket is for, the fine tuning. The ride itself is great. The graph for the air ride seems to be right on for the two of us. The ride for the wife on the back is fine. She's happy with the OEM 12" back rest. Stock pipes are a little loud she says but ok when at cruising speed. So far the stock seat is ok but we really haven't been on a long enough ride to really see how either does on the long haul. All in all I would buy it again.

A few mods to accommodate my 6' 2" frame and she is perfect!(12" Apes and the heat/cooling seat from the Roadmaster, added luggage rack for more storage for long rides). Love this bike, 2200+ miles in my first 6 weeks! Looking forward to many, many more miles to come. Highly recommend this scoot for anyone looking for a great ride with beautiful lines and the heart and soul of Indian motorcycle without too much technology, makes it a joy and easier to go ride!

If I am looking for a more spirited ride I can takeoff the windshield in the back rest and the 116 inch motor makes for a pretty exciting ride. Or if I want More of a touring bike I can buy the top case and mount it on the bike for additional storage. Or I can ride it like it is and it becomes a Road King killer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 2021 Springfield Dark Horse - Pros & Cons Existing Indian motorcycle owner and the Springfield is in addition to my 2020 Indian Scout Bobber in the same color (Thunder Black Smoke). Pros: - Thunderstroke 116 engine has tons of torque and moves bike with ease - Matte black finish and amount of coverage (nearly all the parts are matte, much more than the Scout) - Comfortable OEM seat (important to mention since Scout seat gets a 1 out of 10 comfort rating) - Optional adaptive LED headlight is amazing - Ability to start bike if FOB is lost using a PIN and special directional switch toggle sequence - Adjustable rear air shock (0 – 150 psi) feels amazing - Super easy to switch out the optional passenger backrest - Super agile in the turns - Excellent stopping power - Cruise control Cons: - Sound out the gate isn't great, but completely unleashed with aftermarket pipes; sounds like a small block at idle! - Gloss black handlebars (makes no sense when nearly everything else is matte; changed these out immediately) - Speedometer is positioned too low and requires a lowered head position to view rather than a quick glance - The surface of the redundant analog fuel gauge (speedometer includes a digital gauge) is HIGHLY reflective and catches the sun more so than not and is blinding. - The surface of the brake fluid reservoir is also highly reflective and is also blinding (I used matte black vinyl wrap on both surfaces to solve the issue) - Rear brake/taillight assembly is gloss black and looks like an afterthought - Indian badges look cheap (engine decal/badges are delaminating) - Front fender headdress doesn’t light up (worth mentioning since everyone always asks) - Matte red not an option even though offered on Chieftain which uses same platform - Stock halogen headlight

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 800 miles on the Springfield Dark Horse I traded in 3 motorcycles for the Springfield DH. The savings from my previous insurance and payments more than covers the cost of the Springfield. I originally was looking for the new chief but by the time I added upgrades (116 engine) the cost exceeded the cost of a new Springfield. Plus I didn't have to wait for delivery, they had a Springfield on the show room floor. I imagine this big bike will take some time for most people to adjust to. I've played around with the controls and handle bar angle to get more comfortable as the reach to the handlebars is a bit long for me (I'm 5'-9"). After riding the bike for 3 weeks I am getting use to the reach but I am considering changing the handlebars. The good: Its just a great bike to ride and will bring you joy. The bike is very roomy and the large floorboards let to move around quite a bit. The bike handles really well at all speeds, U-turns are easy as long as you prepare for them by sliding forward and doing a lean forward. But like I said with proper use of the brake and clutch the bike turns very well. Been on mountain roads and have had no issue with ground clearance. The looks definitely get attention, no shortage of people calling out to me. Power is spot on I've kept it in standard mode as the sport mode isn't necessary on the torque monster. The sound and vibration of the bike is definitely good for your soul. Over all I am definitely bonding with this bike and I'm constantly looking forward to take it out for a ride. The Bad: Is a big bike and I've had to adjust to the riding position. My back was sore for the first 2 weeks. The cruise control takes some getting use to. it operates with the right thumb so the trick is keeping your throttle steady while pushing buttons with the right thumb. What made that difficult for me is the reach to the cruise control switch is at the limit of my short thumbs reach. Big bumps can bounce you. I suppose because I am reaching for the controls the rear shock seems to hit my back pretty hard on a large pothole. I think my starter switch is going bad it doesn't move when i press it start, at first i thought i was stranded but if I push the button extra hard it connects and starts. Seems like my first service issue. Expected Accessories: Maybe handlebars, even though I am getting use to the riding position. Performance air intake mostly for looks and because the original cover hits my leg. Crash bars because the bike is very expensive. Front light bar and running lights because I like the looks. A new seat because I want a leather Corbin solo seat. Oil cooler because it gets very hot where I live. Overall I really enjoy this motorcycle, it brings me joy, and I'm looking forward to some great rides and adventures with my fellow riders. Stay safe everyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice Bike All in all this is a great bike. It rides nice and is pretty comfortable. The only issue I had was that the accessory cord under the headlight nacelle would not power the cigarette lighter power cord (oem) I bought and had installed. It showed voltage when hooked to a multimeter and the engine was on, but didn't power my phone or anything else. The dealer couldn't figure out the problem either. So I was ultimately out the cost of the cord and the labor to have it installed, which was kind of annoying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2500 mile review This is my third motorcycle but my first Indian. I bought it because I wanted American made and street glides and road kings are just too tricked out for me. I love this bike. As a 6’3” 210 pound rider, the frame, seat, and floorboards are amazing for for my plus size with room to spare. I bought the front and rear highway bars but have yet to install them, but based on photos alone I know I’ll love them. The flat black paint is immaculate and there’s enough gloss in the bars and badges that if you want to get an after market sissy bar or fairing it would look good flat black or gloss. Cruise control works great and the ABS works even better, I’ve tested it under controlled and uncontrolled conditions. The water proofing on the bags works great, even in Hawaii weather when stored outdoors in my parking stall outdoors. If I could ask one thing of the bike it’s the sound, coming from a relatively custom chopper the sound is a little wimpy but not anywhere close to a small engine. Might throw some pipes on it eventually but the 2x2 exhaust is awesome otherwise. Overall, love this bike and everything about it. Very few plans to alter it from factory in the near future.

Unfortunately, the handlebars have a very long reach and the seat is uncomfortable. A lot of extras needed to make it a great bike. But, it was worth it. Much better than the MotorCo.

Chieftain
Starting at $22,499 US MSRP
2022 Chieftain Black Metallic is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 678.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Touring Bike! Purchased my 2019 Chieftain Limited in Dec 2019. Have ridden over 37,000 miles. Only shortfalls have been tires (came with Dunlop Elite 3) placed with CruzTech and handling on dry and wet roads are much better. Also, had a few issues with Gear shift censor, replaced by dealer and all good now. Bike is extreamly comfortable on long rides. Have taken several 5000-700 mile rides out west and the bike handled perfectly through mountain roads, rain and cold/hot temps. Highly recoment the Chieftain to all serious long distance riders.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great ride I replaced my Victory Cross Country with the 2021 Chieftain. I was surprised to find that it actually rides and handles better than the Cross Country. A thing to note is that the Chieftain is NOT for taller riders. I am 5'8" and the leg is almost too short.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bike I bought the bike about a month ago and have put approximately 1,700 miles on it. Overall I love the bike, there are a few things that I don't care for, like not being able to start the bike in first gear even with the clutch in; or the bike turning off/not starting if the kick stand is down. I understand these safety features, but I don't care for them, especially the not being able to start the bike in gear. Overall I love the bike!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top Tier Motorcycle I've owned 5 motorcycles. This is the only motorcycle that I wanted from the beginning and I knew that I had to have one. I have never seen craftmanship like Indian before. The details from the engine to the paint is mind blowing. I'm proud to say that I own a piece of history.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lovin this ride! I am impressed with the ride, and the stock power is great in the 116. The ride ergos could be better. Seat is comfortable for the first 150-200 miles, could use a bit more reach on the handlebars. OEM accessories are a bit hard to come by. Overall, small things don’t stop me from from loving this ride. My biggest disappointment is probably finding out Indian doesn’t include the trip GPS, or “Indian Ride Command” on the base Chieftain. $500 upgrade + approx. $300-400 install. That just seems rude after paying $22k for a motorcycle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Time Rider As a new motorcycle enthusiast, I jumped right in with both feet. I bought a 2020 Chieftain (116) and couldn't be happier.

Overall, extremely happy that I took the plunge and joined the Indian family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Bike For ME!!! I waited over 20 years to get my bike. I was convinced I was going to buy a HD Street Glide. A friend told me to check out the Indian before I made the purchase. I walked in and my Baby was sitting in the middle if the showroom floor. It had the Stage 1 and Stage 2, LED headlamps and rear shifter installed. I talked to the family and bought it the next day. It was the best experience you could’ve imagined for the purchase of your first bike. I am on it every chance I can get. Everywhere I go someone stops and looks at the bike. They all think its a SG until they see the Indian and they can’t stop smiling or asking questions. Indian makes beautiful, fun to ride machines that handle like sport bikes. If you want to stand out in a crowd, BUY AN INDIAN!!!! It will be the best decision you can make and you will not second guess yourself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chieftain Stoped by the Indian dealer just to browse on the way to the HD dealership. Found a left over 20 Chieftain and went for a test ride. Absolutely loved it! I had already test rode the HDs and found this to be a better handling and balanced bike. The price compared to the options that came with it, made this a no brainer to me. Bought the Chieftain and haven’t looked back at all. Several of my friends are now looking to make the swap to the Indian line. The accessories are a little higher price wise, but they all seem to be high quality built to last. The dealership really made the deal also, very friendly and knowledgeable people there. Treated me like they wanted to help me find the perfect fit for me. The other brand made me feel like they were doing me a favor by talking to me. All around a great experience.

Chieftain Dark Horse
Starting at $28,499 US MSRP
2022 Chieftain Dark Horse Black Smoke is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 413.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2021 Darkhorse I switched it up from a 2018 Springfield Dark Horse with Lloydz stage 2 kit to the 2021 Chieftain Dark Horse with Indian stage 1 upgrades. Going from the 111 to the 116 is FANTASTIC! I have more power. The Klockwerks windscreen is much better for head buffeting (second upgrade). I pretty much like everything about the Chieftain (style, power, handling, comfort, etc.). I would highly recommend this bike. The only thing that falls short for me is the Ride Command and how it handles music. The Apple CarPlay feature is wasted because it requires being connected to another headset. You cannot ride helmet-free and have CarPlay blasting through your speakers. The Ride Command system is not compatible with Android. If you like great-sounding tunes when you ride, try the Jabra Elite Active earbuds! They stay in your ear, have bass, and sound terrific. I sure hope they straighten all this out with a software upgrade.

My wife bought a 2020 Springfield dark horse and my TS11 wouldn't keep up. The fairing on the 2018 did a much better job of breaking the wind than this 2021 does. I can't hear the stereo after 65mph and on the 2018 it was awesome. I used to brag to all my HD buddies that my stereo ,stock was better than theirs with all the upgrades they did.

Broke away from a 2019 HD Road Glide after 12,000 miles and 15,000 miles prior 2017 Road King, no comparison! Indian has surpassed HD in my opinion, in quality that you can see, and engine performance you can feel. My Chieftain is so much more nimble than what I’ve been riding, making it feel safer to handle with my wife on back. Indian has really raised the bar for me when choosing a bagger, I will not go back!

I traded in my ‘16 ZX14r for it and haven’t missed it one bit. I have had this bike for 7 weeks as of this post and only have driven my pickup 3 times to work. I don’t mind get wet coming home from work but not arriving to work. If your on the fence about purchasing one come to the other side. It’s expensive but so worth it and it doesn’t vibrate you to death like a Harley. Never understood why a man would want his rear vibrated like that but to each his own. Love my Indian Chieftain Limited. This was not a paid review but if Indian Motorcycle is reading this I can be bribed with accessories!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome features and rides like a Cadillac I bought my chieftain about 2 months ago. This thing is awesome. Rides and handles great. Rode her in the rain for the first time and changed it to tour mode so it would brake and handle different in wet conditions. I could definitely tell a difference. When I’m riding in the mountains I sometimes put her in sport mode and the throttle response is everything you would expect and more (awesome) I could rattle on all day about my Indian chieftain and how much I love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sport bike convert Always loved the look and abilities of a sport bike. My last was a 2016 ZX14R. But I never used the bike to it’s potential. My wife loves to go out on the bike so needed one that size for comfort. Always considered a bagger as an old man bike and would get one eventually, my stupidity and ego cost me years of happiness. After purchasing 2021 Chieftain Limited I can’t believe I waited this long. I knew I would never own a Harley and always figured I would end up on a Jap cruiser. Then 2020 happened and made me appreciate American Made more and more. Then after researching the Indian heritage and culture I was hooked. What an amazing bike, loaded with tech and just flat out sexy. Plenty of power out of the 116 motor. If you have been debating on doing it, stop, go get it and you will never regret it. There is riding a motorcycle and their is riding a motorcycle with pride. Do the latter and you will experience something amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best bike I have ever rode I bought the Indian Chieftain Limited about two months ago and I love it. It has a lot of torque but very smooth through the rev range, looks absolutely beautiful and is a hot to ride. I find myself looking for excuses to ride all the time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Happy with the motorcycle I bought my 2019 Chieftain limited new on 4th of July weekend and so far I love the bike. Never owned an Indian before, so we're working through the normal growing pains with an unfamiliar brand, but the overall look and design far outweigh small irritants. I had Rineharts and the Thunderstroke® Stage 1 Performance Air Intake and I really like the sound now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Change for the better I have been writing Harley Davidson for over 20 years and was let down buy a recent service experience so I decided to change brands and go with Indian and I am certainly happy I did. They Indian Charlotte team Amanda Shawn and Heather did an excellent job of making sure I was taken care of appropriately throughout the sales process. 1500 miles completed and look forward to many more on this bagger.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Riding in Style Very stylish and well made motorcycle. Fun to ride and comfortable. The infotainment system is fantastic, as are fit and finish. I chose the Chieftain over the Challenger because the Chieftain is much more my style. But the stock 116 is lacking. Like all V-twins it has a incredible torque. But, horsepower is a function of torque @ rpms and this delivers power only at the low end of rpm range. In fact, it's pretty much gutless after about 3500 rpms. Happily, all that torque makes it very quick for roll on power if you're rolling along at a low rpm - even in 5th. I know you're thinking "just put on a Stage II kit and all your problems are solved". It should have left the factory with a Stage II kit then. It's also long and low, which is super cool looking. But it's so long, it's not exactly nimble. And, the Dunlop E3 in the rear has broken loose on wet pavement a few times when it really shouldn't have (I hear E4s are far superior). It's strange to me too that a bike this expensive doesn't have traction assist and linked brakes. All in all, I was looking for a fantastic looking bagger for long comfortable rides that I'll have for years to come and I'm happy with it. I chose to buy a slower bike because I'm old. But if the Challenger engine was in the Chieftain frame . . .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2020 couch corvette This bike is comfortable, fast and smooth, I’ve ridden a lot of bikes and I feel like this chieftain is a good balance between comfort and performance, I get a lot of compliments on this bike . What can Indian do different? Not much. The rear cylinder does get warm but if you are moving and just cruising you don’t notice it that much , the hot cylinder will be welcome in the winter months. For as heavy as this bike is, it doesn’t feel like an 800 pound bagger

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2021 Chieftain Limited - Extremely Satisfied ! Had my 21 Chieftain Limited for over six weeks now and couldn't be happier. No issues what-so-ever. With just over a thousand miles on the clock this bike is everything I expected and more. And that's saying a lot as my last ride was a 2015 Goldwing. I especially like the Ride Command feature and the ability to log into my Ride Command account, create routes and easily, within seconds, download them to the bike. The 7" nav screen is great! Engine wise, there's plenty of power - couldn't be happier. The rear cylinder de-activation works great and keeps the heat away from my legs at stops and the gear spread on the six-speed trans is the best I've had. Handling is completely neutral, fit and finish is super and Polaris has done an A+ job of keeping the Indian tradition alive with the bikes styling. I'm also fortunate to have a great dealer although I wish there were more of them so they weren't so few and far between, especially for traveling cross country. That being said, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

When I bought the bike I had the dealer install the Stage II kit along with a heal/toe shifter and the upgrade stereo system. The bike is very well balanced and corners like no other V-Twin. The transmission is extremely smooth and quiet. The air suspension is a great way to customize the bike to your load. No complaints at all. You manufacture one fine motorcycle!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Smooth Ride A bit heavier than my Scout was, but very balanced nonetheless. Throttle reaction needs work. Foot/rear brake is too high, cannot be lowered/adjusted without modification, poor design, even riders with big feet don’t like the position. Could be a bit louder. Anxiously waiting for aftermarket parts to catch up to the new beast.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wouldn't go back I traded a Scout Bobber for this after riding my buddy's Challenger for a few hours. I loved the Bobber because of its sporty demeanor and sport bike feel on twisty back roads. The Challenger has much more power and handles just as well when pushing it through twisty's. I couldn't imagine going back to a Scout at this point. So much more comfortable for all day riding with open air music and cruise control adding to the spacious seating and generous wind damping cockpit. If you are on the fence about getting one, just go test ride one for awhile. Definitely worth a look if you are in the market for a larger bike.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Early issues with reliability and quality. Please understand, I love my new bike but so far it has not lived up to my expectations for a $34k investment in fun. Most of my negative judgment comes from comparing my new Challenger to the 2017 Springfield I traded in; the Springfield was the best bike I ever owned. By comparison, the Challenger features cheaper plastic, lower quality paint, and an overall cheaper feel. If you are in a showroom, walk over to a bike with the 111 or 116 and try to open and close the saddlebag lids; you will see what I mean. A Challenger road test will likely reveal a rattling sound from one of the saddlebag lids that didn't close properly if you were not deliberate about seeking the second "click" as you pushed on it. I probably would not have noticed if I hadn't had such a great experience owning my Springfield. My additional complaints include an intermittent no-crank no-start condition and supply chain issues leaving me with making payments on a $34k note with a $23k bike due to lack of accessory availability. On the good side, the Challenger is a hoot to drive with plenty of power and cornering ability that belies its apparent size. I get loads of compliments and I think it is probably the coolest bike I have owned. I love the color and I have a great cold-weather machine with heated grips, heated seat, and highway bar closeouts. My goal was to make a full-dresser out of it, and to that end, I am looking forward to the tour pack parts and passenger floorboard mounts coming out of back-order.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic bike but...... Beast of a bike but I am having a few problems. Windshield was cracked from overtorque and the barrel nuts that secure the battery cover were both broken off their mounting bracket by overtorque Bikes battery won't start the bike if it sits for two days and the bike has to continuously be on a charger. Washed the bike yesterday and it wouldn't start afterwards until I put it back on the charger and it dried out then would start. Cylinder deactivation causes my bike to stall at every stop I have to keep it turned off. Idle is erratic at stops also fluctuations between 800-1000 rpm probably has something to do with cylinder deactivation not working. When you pay a premium price for a premium motorcycle you expect problems if any after thousands of miles not right out of the crate.

Indian Challenger Dark Horse

2022 Indian Challenger Dark Horse Black Smoke is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 181.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing piece of machinery This motorcycle does exactly what I hoped... Bring a smile to my face every time I get to ride it. My only criticism so far is no Android Auto.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 2021 Challenger I bought this bike a month ago. I love everything about the bike except how it shifts and the clutch. It shifts hard when up shifting and I experience shift feedback in the clutch lever and shift peg. Reported this at my 500 mile service. They adjusted the clutch, but it did not correct the issue. Disappointed that I paid $32,000 dollars for a motorcycle and it has shifting issues right out of the gate. If it wasn’t for this issue, I would have rated it as the perfect bike. I plan to take it in again. Hopefully they fix it this time. Frustrating to say the least.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Perfect "Run For The Hills" Challenger I would rate the Challenger as the New Champion. I've put it through some Pro Level aggressive tasks, and always left smiling ear to ear. I'll start where it all meets the road, The Metzler Tires. They held the Monstrous Power upon launch as well as could be expected. Sport mode, with Traction Control on, the horse's were reigned in. With no Traction Control on, 2nd gear no clutch shifts would leave ya sideways at 35-45MPH. 3rd carries ya up to Heavens Door before your buddies can even hit the throttle. When ya grab the Brembo dual disk front breaks and single disk rear while rolling into the corners Bolder Canyon throws at ya. The bike really makes ya happy you chose this challenger to balance your life on. The antilock system commands the roadway, and the active lean control, with electronic shock controls have you shifting down into 2nd gear and the Insane Throttle response back to Full Throttle as your Buddies are still scraping their jaw off the ground, Wondering why they didn't buy one as well. The Challenger is without a doubt the most fun I've had on a canyon road with a bike that cruises down the Interstate, cruise control set, with all the baggage I need. I didn't even mention the Stereo, 100 watts of Ear Pleasing Audiophile clarity, a massive 7" touch screen that functions flawlessly. Handle bar controls again, like a dream. How about the Electronic Windscreen, Bluetooth links, and extra storage everywhere...I gotta say Buy This Bike! Don't think About it, Tomorrow is Never Guaranteed, buy the bike! You will not regret it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Worth the wait?? I waited six months for my Challenger which I’m ok with except that it was delivered in January. I was so eager to ride but settled for admiring her in my garage. Almost two months after delivery I only have 180 miles logged. I love this bike. The only thing I don’t like is where the turn signal button is located. It’s a stretch of the thumb to engage and I almost have to let go of the grip to toggle the switch. I hope it’s just a nuance that I will get used to as I log more and more miles. Oh yeah, I’m also not happy with the audio, specifically the bass output. Even after adjusting the equalizer I can’t find the sound I like.

This is the superior machine. Outstanding power plant with a steep then flat power curve. Keeps putting out all the way to redline. The bike is fast. It has a vastly superior suspension and an electronic suite that should suit the geekiest among us. Excellent bar hopper but made to eat freeway which it does with great grace and enthusiasm. Tour pack available but I’m a duffel-on-the-sissy-bar kind of guy. I expect routine regular oil changes will be all I need just like my other trouble-free Indians.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from More bike than I expected. I never thought I'd buy a brand new bike but I had heard great things about the Challenger and decided to pull the trigger. Completely in love with the bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awsum ride I own a Harley Davidson Night Rod that I decided to park due it being unavailable anymore. It’s just increasing in value now. I purchased a 2021 Indian Challenger, because I need to ride still, and I couldn’t be happier. This bike rocks and I’m glad I parked the Harley.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Bike I own I purchased my Challenger on July 3rd 2021. I now have 6700 miles on it. I have road across the country for 3 weeks. This bike is amazing. I own three Harleys and my Challenger is now my favorite bike to ride. When people ask me to describe my bike I tell them it is a bagger that you can ride like a sport bike and still put miles down.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So close to perfection... so close This is my 4th Polaris (Victory and Indian) product and I will say right of the hop, this is the best one so far. I will start with my likes. The bike handles like a sport bike. It is hard to believe this bike is over 800lbs. It is nearly perfectly balanced. The adjustable windshield, the water cooled engine, the inverted front forks, the adjustable shock are all terrific. The power is immense and not for a first time bagger owner. You will pull away from nearly every harley on the road (save for a 140+ M8) HOWEVER, you almost always only remember the bad. This bike sounds like a sewing machine on the top end of the engine. It never goes away. You will have other rides ask you about it, you will hear it when you pull in for a beer and you will likely become self conscious about it. The nav unit is ATROCIOUS. It looks good, but searching for things like addresses, restaurants, etc will almost always leave you with cannot be found. It is slow to load, often connects and disconnects from your bluetooth phone. The stock throttle is garbage. There are flat spots, surges, low speed acceleration issues and to top it off there are times at stop lights etc where the rpms will bounce which has become known in the community as "RPM Searching". It has a name because it happens so much. Getting parts for these bikes has everything on back order. Finding a good shop, you don't have a choice, you likely only have one near you.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Outstanding Ride! I bought the Challenger 117 days ago and I have over 11,000 miles on it. It handles great! It rides good with exception to the stock seat... but I use a nice seat cushion that makes up for that. In the first 5k, I had a little bit of stalling issues but it seems to have worked its way out of that. One thing that would make this bike even better... Not everyone has Apple products. I'll leave it at that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from First bagger and I am impressed. I heavily researched baggers before my purchase and I am confident I bought the right one for me. I am not used to the luxury options it came with standard. Performance is unmatched in it's class.

Indian Challenger Limited
Starting at $27,999 US MSRP
2022 Indian Challenger Limited Black Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 182.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from An Absolutely Terrible Product!! I have had numerous problems with two Challenger Limited bikes. Indian tried repeatedly to fix the problems and repeatedly failed. I’m now demanding Indian buy the bike back and will pursue legal action if they don’t. Stay away from the Challenger. It is nothing but an enormous aggravation and frustration and not worth your time or money. It could be good but it ain’t. I would not ever recommend this bike to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Competition always brings out the best. Test rode a Challenger Limited back in December and really liked it. So today, Feb. 9, I decided to test ride a Harley Road Glide, Indian's main competition. I was disappointed in the suspension of the Harley because I could feel every little bump in the road. But other than that, Harley makes a fine bike! But to me, that difference was the main issue other than looks, as I think the Harley is a better- looking machine. But that's just me. I'd like to have them both.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I just had to scratch that itch! I've been looking at the Challenger since they came out and today I test rode one. The limited model in Black Metallic. Glad I did. First impression; more top heavy than I expected, but after you start moving that goes away. With that fairing and a 6 gal. fuel tank, it's going to be a little top heavy. Not a problem. Smoother than I expected. Much less vibes than my 2018 Indian Chieftain Classic. I like that and more rpm in all gears. This bike is a joy to ride and the suspension is right on spec. Very comfortable. Someone did their homework and got it right! My recommendation: Don't buy anything until you test ride a Challenger. It's that good!!!

Power, handling, ride quality, and ease of maintenance are the key points I appreciate. I get a lot of compliments from friends and strangers alike. I plan to put a pair of BAM Sticks slip-ons on it soon.

I have over 3000 miles so far as I ride about every day. I would have given 5 stars had all the accessories I ordered been in stock or at least here by now and Had I not have to send ecu off to Loyds to make sure she runs right from the start as these units are buggy. So far only oe issue was gas cap vent was not working. Easy fix.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2021 Indian Challenger, Mine I bought the Indian Challenger about a month ago and, so far, 1800 miles later, I'm glad that I did. I had another "big twin, fixed fairing, bike", was very dissatisfied and frustrated with it! After the transmission shelled at a little over a year, then a year after that I had to replace the compensator... Again!, I was done after that, a couple of buddies in the N. Georgia area, also former "other big V Twin" owners, one on a Road Master the other on a , both Very Happy with their Indians, suggested, "Jim, go test ride the Indian and you'll throw rocks at "that other big V Twin"! Well... I took my wife with me as she would be riding with me on the bike, first tested a 2021 Roadmaster... nice, responsive, Brembo Brakes (no further description needed), cruises at Instate Speeds comfortably. Back to the dealership to exchange for the 2021 Challenger... of course, being on the Gulf Coast, it began raining as we pulled in, rushed in under the overhang, only to realize it was a wire mesh and rain was still coming down! Laughed and trotted inside... checked "My Radar" ap and saw that the cloud would be gone shortly, 15 mins of rain, another 20 to let the cars, traffic, to clear the water. and off on the Challenger. As I came up on the exit for my return... somehow... I missed the turn! Continued down and into downtown, I certainly wanted to ride the Challenger around the downtown area, stop lights, left, right, traffic at low speeds, and after 10 miles, or so, downtown.... I glanced over my shoulder and my wife knows I want to talk with her... "You know we're riding this bike home don't you?". And she responded, "Of course I knew that!" 3 weeks/1800 miles, 300 today... While Jack may have overstated the facts a bit... "Jim if you ride the Indian, you'll throw rocks at "that other bike". He was certainly right about me liking the Indian over the "other bike". I'm adding the TourPak and associated hardware, the passenger floorboards and a backrest for me (driver/rider) this week and I'm still under the MSRP of that "other bike".

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 2022 Indian Roadmaster I purchased this 2022 Roadmaster to replace a 2018 Roadmaster Trike with California Side Car unit. I no longer needed the trike for two up riding. The extra power from the 116 is a huge plus. The bike is sound and well built. The only problem I am having is the battery is poor. I am operating the bike and cross my fingers everytime I try and start it. The dealer is unable to replace it under warranty until I get a fail from the battery. I sure hope it happens at home and not while I am on the road somewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bike to have! Bought Indian roadmaster icon in March of this year. It is smooth riding and the thumper sound is awesome. It sits low in the saddle making it easier to handle at low speeds. It has option making it more fun to ride. Navigation, with Bluetooth radio and the other monitoring devices can be accessed from touch screen or controls on the handle bars. I bought some accessories along with the bike and they were simple to install with just a few tools. I got a rider back rest and passenger arm rest. My next purchase will be the boot heel shifter. The ergonomics of the bike makes you have to over extend your left foot to up shift. With the heel shifter this would not be an issue. The bike has three ride modes. In Sport mode you better hold on tight, it is very responsive throttle. Overall it's comfortable to take on long rides.

Great people there by the way. 15 minutes after I got back from my test ride I had my 2020 Roadmaster ordered. I had a 2019 Ultra only a year old with 21k on it(I put quite a few miles on my bikes) that I had to trade in. Smoother, more power and torque, better mileage, better handling, more comfortable then any of the Harleys I've owned. Best decision I ever made. I wish they would put more bass in their speakers is the only con I have with it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ride is very smooth. I bought this near the end of the riding season in Wisconsin. We have over 700 miles on it before it got too cold to ride and they put salt on the roads. We love the ride. Also how low the center of gravity is compared to my Harley 2015 Ultra. The ride command is nice but takes some getting use to. One nice feature is the Home Link system so I don’t need to carry a garage door opener. I just tap the screen. Also the integration of Ride Command and Apple play is great. My navigation is always up to date when using Waze from my phone through Apple Play. Nicely done.

It is VERY hard for passenger and myself and sits me higher than I would like to. I'm finding that alternative seats and custom parts are very limited for indian at this time. I do think more will come available I the near future as Indians are becoming more popular and competitive with other brands. Bike is put away now for winter as I live in Minnesota. Looking forward to spring to ALOT more riding in.

The extra power from the 116 is a huge plus. The bike is sound and well built. The only problem I am having is the battery is poor. I am operating the bike and cross my fingers everytime I try and start it. The dealer is unable to replace it under warranty until I get a fail from the battery. I sure hope it happens at home and not while I am on the road somewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it. I absolutely love everything about this bike with the exception of the factory seat. The most uncomfortable seat that I have ever sat on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sweet Bike! Traded in my 2017 Springfield for this Roadmaster because of the many features and because I had zero problems with the Springfield for 20000 miles. I still miss the Springfield, but love the Roadmaster for the style, storage space, and comfort , as well as the infotainment , heated grips and seat,and the power windscreen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bike to have! Bought Indian roadmaster icon in March of this year. It is smooth riding and the thumper sound is awesome. It sits low in the saddle making it easier to handle at low speeds. It has option making it more fun to ride. Navigation, with Bluetooth radio and the other monitoring devices can be accessed from touch screen or controls on the handle bars. I bought some accessories along with the bike and they were simple to install with just a few tools. I got a rider back rest and passenger arm rest. My next purchase will be the boot heel shifter. The ergonomics of the bike makes you have to over extend your left foot to up shift. With the heel shifter this would not be an issue. The bike has three ride modes. In Sport mode you better hold on tight, it is very responsive throttle. Overall it's comfortable to take on long rides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Bike I've owned 8 Harley Ultras.. The dealer talked me into a test ride that I really wasn't interested in over in Des Moines. Great people there by the way. 15 minutes after I got back from my test ride I had my 2020 Roadmaster ordered. I had a 2019 Ultra only a year old with 21k on it(I put quite a few miles on my bikes) that I had to trade in. Smoother, more power and torque, better mileage, better handling, more comfortable then any of the Harleys I've owned. Best decision I ever made. I wish they would put more bass in their speakers is the only con I have with it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful looking bike That's what I hear everywhere I go. Stands out in the crowd. Performs very well too. Tons of upgrades over other brands. Very well balanced bike, lots of power, comfortable riding position for rider and passenger. Just wish it had better clearance while leaning

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great overall ride I replaced my 2012 Victory Cross Country with this new Indian Roadmaster classic & i couldn’t be happier…i’ve had to adjust to the handling as this is a bigger, heavier bike which rides a bit higher, but after 1000 miles i am all in & very pumped with the bike … went to the Az mexico border yesterday for a 6+ hour ride and it was terrific.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ride is very smooth. I bought this near the end of the riding season in Wisconsin. We have over 700 miles on it before it got too cold to ride and they put salt on the roads. We love the ride. Also how low the center of gravity is compared to my Harley 2015 Ultra. The ride command is nice but takes some getting use to. One nice feature is the Home Link system so I don’t need to carry a garage door opener. I just tap the screen. Also the integration of Ride Command and Apple play is great. My navigation is always up to date when using Waze from my phone through Apple Play. Nicely done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Bike I've owned I've had everything from KZ750, KZ1300, Gold Wing, 3 Harley Ultra's and yes even a 2000 Indian Chief.....This is by far the nicest and best riding bike i have owned in my 45 years of riding.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice features I got this recently and have only put 300 miles on so far. Very smooth and lots of power. I don't care for the heat/cool seat. It is VERY hard for passenger and myself and sits me higher than I would like to. I'm finding that alternative seats and custom parts are very limited for indian at this time. I do think more will come available I the near future as Indians are becoming more popular and competitive with other brands. Bike is put away now for winter as I live in Minnesota. Looking forward to spring to ALOT more riding in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from sexy as hell and gets the job done I had to wait almost 4 months to get this bike and it has been worth every minute.

Roadmaster Limited
Starting at $30,749 US MSRP
2022 Roadmaster Limited Black Azure Crystal is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 47.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Comfortable Ride with Plenty of Power The Roadmaster Limited is a fun bike to ride and has plenty of power to get up and go when you need it to. I enjoy all the options the Commander has to allow you to play music. It also displays great information about the bike and riding conditions. Wish there was something that could be done about the engine heat on your inner legs but other than that I am very satisfied with the Roadmaster Limited

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Beautiful bike beautiful color Comfort ride We test drove a few Indians at the motorcycle rallies we attend and fell in love with the Roadmaster the only one complaint we have with this bike is the battery keeps going dead on it not enough juice to turn over the engine we don't understand why as the bike is only a few months old if that they tell us we have to keep it on a trickle charge but we went to a house for 2 days and the the battery would not turn the bike over

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My New Ride I picked my Roadmaster Limited in May and have been cruising the PA roadways as much as the weather permits. She accelerates well and is a joy to ride. My only two complaints are: 1) the headdress does not light up and 2) the seat is not very comfortable! I gets lots of compliments on the stunning Crimson Metallic paint and the storage capacity is phenomenal! I’m happy with my purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great bike!! I bought my bike a month ago and it has been a great bike to ride. It ha. All the creatures features a person could want. The only challenge is getting the Apple Car Play to work properly. It might be the operator or a glitch in the software. Overall, still live my ride and totally recommend this brand to anyone!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Well appointed and very comfortable I recently traded in a 2018 Roadmaster for the 2021 limited and so glad I did, the limited is everything my first Roadmaster was and so much more. It seems more roomy in the saddle and feels longer so there is more leg room when riding
