Edit: We do have an Indian Dealer! REDLINE POWERSPORTS is now selling Indians!!! Back when I first started looking into Indians after Polaris bought the company, I called Redline back in 2021-22 and they weren't selling Indians yet. They sold Polaris vehicles, but hadn't fully went in on Indian. Thank goodness now they have!!!

Fingers crossed!!!!

😬 oh dang…

Yessir, they do have them in chrome

I think the Scout 60 fills the void of approachability with the lower entry price point as it has done in previous years. Also the new Scout is the only model that has gone through a redesign thus far and IMO I think it was a great move for the best-selling lineup from IMC. As far as the FTR I haven't heard anything about it being discontinued, at least not in the US. Lastly, in my opinion, from what I can tell IMC is still growing and in time I think you will see more dealers/garages, but it has to be done smartly, you don't want to get too big too fast that's when issues happen. However, for fans of the brand not to have a dealership in close proximity or available at all I know it sucks but I don't think it is for lack of trying on the part of IMC it just may not make money sense... again just my opinion I don't know this for fact.

@@FinesseTheChallenger I fully understand the time it will take to appoint new dealers. Unfortunately we have more closing than opening at the moment in the UK. What I would like to see is independent garages gain licences and have access to spares the Polaris wrench and spares to give more coverage for the riders that are not close to a main dealer. Then in time if those service dealers gain enough work they may progress to being able to sell them as well. Polaris have stated both here and in America that they wont support that idea which is a shame.

@@QuinnTales-sq5pl Ah I see what you are saying... that is interesting, I am sure there is a reason for doing it that way, but I don't know what that would be.

@@FinesseTheChallenger business decision easier to control main dealers less competition keeps the prices up but gives less to the customer in my opinion.

I think these models, outside of the Scout, are looking like the "legacy models" However, there are still some unreleased models such as the Chief, Challenger, and Pursuit for 2025 so there is still hope LOL.

Thank God, I prefer the air cold engine

Apparently. I am severely disappointed. They were supposed to keep the Thunderstroke as an option so people could option the motor they wanted. I’m not happy about the lack of new motors at all.

There are still some models to be released i.e., Icons/Elites so we shall see...

A lot of people LOVE the air-cooled 116, myself included, but I too had hopes for something with a bit more punch.

I know there were a lot of people expecting more but there are still a few models that have not yet been released so we shall see what the rest of the lineup looks like before I give my thoughts. However, I can see how you are disappointed.

Copy that!

Springfield doest sale like the other, I have a darkhorse.. ppl rather have the fairing, it will become a hot commodity over the years and then they will revamp it and bring it back watch.. I’m keeping mine.

I believe the white smoke Springfield was the 2021 year model... I think. I see a few Springfields around but I think they would sell more if there were more colors and you could option for the 4" ride command instead of the analog guages IMO.

There are colors that they charge more for, but it is usually around an additional $500 for smaller bikes and around $1500 on the larger bikes if I remember correctly... IMC uses black metallic or black smoke as its "base colors" for the majority of the models so any other colors than that will have the additional charge for paint.

As soon as I am able I will be letting everyone know!!! They keeping this one tight!

WE in the same boat LOL. I am waiting too!

As do I, it is a nice touch.

🤣 I hear ya, I’m waiting on it myself!

I too think the bikes are much better and IMO more reliable than HD, and of course, the dealer network for HD is more extensive than IMC but I think that only applies to your respective "local area". When traveling I have found that there are IMC dealerships along most major routes with enough frequency to provide support when needed. However, let's say it is something simple like a flat tire, any motorcycle shop can repair or replace a flat tire and in the case of a repair like a plug... any tire shop can do that. Not to say that I don't think more dealerships are needed I personally don't think it is as bad as some say it is based on my experiences.

​@@FinesseTheChallenger valid points

As far as the Roadmaster IDK if performance is the target for that specific model however when it comes to the Chieftain and Challenger/Pursuit I think a little more performance should be a focus too.

Aye!!!! Yeah IMC has been great and I am grateful to have a few of the exclusive opportunities to share with everyone!

It looks even better in the sunlight, in person!

I bet

Oh man, I am looking forward to see what's going to happen as well so I'm right there with you!

You know it!

Indeed, I think they are priced nicely as well.

Indeed.

Agreed, this was a major failure. I instantly noticed the 2025 resembled my 2020 RM. Very disappointed.

I can understand that however, I think IMC needed to update the software for the Ride Command system before they make it look better. No doubt I was looking for a larger screen but if it was a larger screen and still had issues I think that would be worse. I don't know this for sure but I would expect that they were working on the software over the look of the system, but again I too was expecting something different with the Ride Command. As far as the other models we still have not seen entire 2025 lineup so there still may be some surprises for the 2025 model year.

None yet... IMC is keeping that one close to the chest LOL.

I used to be the same way about the Freight Train front end but after seeing this bike, I think I like it... The 60 is absolutely a fun city hopper!

The Elites IMO are the best "Top Tier" bikes because of the hand-painted body, the numbering system, and the limited quantity making them a sort of a Unicorn type bike. No surprise why the Scout is the best selling bike for IMC, at that price point I think it is going to be attractive for many buyers.

I love that truck, does everything I need it to do not to mention how good it looks at night with all the lights on! I will be putting out a ride schedule on the channel in Jan, I'm currently working on it now and I do plan on getting outside of GA.

@@FinesseTheChallenger I agree with all you said. I love my AT4... We are heading down to GA for Thanksgiving. I'll hit you up.

I haven't heard anything yet on the rest of the 2025 lineup, but you can be sure, I will make a video once I do.

Yeah, I can see the 60 being well received plus with the 100+ accessories available for the bike you can really spec it out how you want. A lot of people were looking for another PP108 bike at the event too... It seems like they are keeping that engine separate but I guess we will have to wait and see what happens...

Companies change hands all the time... there was a point when HD was owned by AMF where they sold Italian made motorcycles and branded as HD in addition to holding onto the previous history of HD. So of course, Polaris would honor the history of Indian Motorcycle when they acquired it... I would expect nothing less.

@FinesseTheChallenger That's true but the company stayed in business and continued production the whole time. Indian went out of business and Polaris just bought the name. Making history and buying history are different. No doubt they are good bikes though.

In that case, since Polaris acquired Indian Motorcycle, they have done an amazing job celebrating the history and tradition of an American Icon that has played an important role in shaping the history of America and American Motorcycles. I agree they are great bikes!

@@FinesseTheChallenger Indeed they are. 👍🏻

Will do, thanks!

Absolutely, I go to Charleston about 3 times per year. It’s a great place to visit 🤙🏿

Heck yeah!!!! Those lights are great have fun LOL

Yeah, the wife and I keep going around in circles about if we want to replace the Scout with the Springfield.

@ I just think its my favorite Indian in the lineup right now. In my mind certainly over the scout. Is it the 101 scout? But everyone’s feel for bikes is different. It’s just the best looking ride hands down. And performs great.

@ 💯

Maybe but I think the entire lineup is great and very comparable, idk if the 101 gave me sportbike vibes, but I will say that the 101 has the simple feel of a bobber with more options and a unique paint scheme. When we purchased our Scout bobber I wished that there was an option for the 4in ride command... I thought that would have put them over the top and now it has it however, I know there are some people that enjoy less tech to have that nostalgic feel and that's cool too.

@ For me as a 50 something year old who has only ever had and raced Sportsbikes. These days I’m surrounded by Indians for a living. Never ever thought I’d enjoy riding American bikes however am loving the Indian range. Especially the 101 as the fully adjustable suspension with upside down forks, brembo brakes with 2 disks is the closest. It’s also incredibly light feeling, flickable, holds a line in hard cornering, has a flexible engine that still pulls at the top and can also be as docile as you want. Just needs the Lloyds tune and a nice pipe to complete the package as with most bikes it still runs too lean and as a result a bit hot. Plus, that paint job is just the icing on the cake. What’s even better for Indian is being also King of the Baggers and it only took the current Australian Superbike Champion to secure the victory. Swapping from a factory Fireblade to something 3 times the weight is not an easy thing to do.

Yes, IMC has punched it's way onto the scene with their lineup... The Challenger is a great bike and having that rivalry play out in front of our eyes in the KoB races is just amazing! The Scout is a fantastic bike and a great platform to upgrade or modify. I can see how the transition from a highly tuned performance machine (racing sportbike) would be a drastic change to then move to a 800lb bagger. I was into sport bikes and a friend of mine had a Honda Fireblade in Japan (AMAZING machine) and I rode a GSXR750 (definitely not a racer by any means) but I did the usual sportbike stuff when I had it LOL. When I got on my Challenger, which was my first bagger, the transition was easy IMO and it made the most sense to me because it was the closest bagger available to me that I could get the performance that I was looking for coming off of a sportbike. That's a whole other conversation though LOL. The 101 is an absolute blast of a motorcycle and IMO you get a lot in that bike for your money in a package of that size I'd be willing to be in that segment IMC is king when compared to the Sportster. Still riding at 50 #goals!!!! Keep riding and stay safe, thanks for checking out the channel and taking some time to chat!!!!

@ Also a fellow 50 club member, yes the Challenger is a hard one to beat and will possibly be my next bike. Just had a guy of the same background have cams and a Lloyd’s tune installed as he could already beat his mate on the equivalent HD from the lights in stock form, just couldn’t keep the gap until now. As someone who spent the 90’s racing all formats in Australia, with Phillip Island as my home track I am impressed with the handling of each of the Indians fitted with upside down forks and Brembo brakes. The top spec Fox rear(s) are also great. Ride free! Nice chat, looking forward to your next video.

Well said!

Good times, man! Hopefully, we can get together again soon!

@@FinesseTheChallenger absolutely!!

Yessir!

It's a good one to be dreamy about!

@FinesseTheChallenger as soon as I am no longer upside down on my harley I will trade it in

All engines get hot... the radiator kicks in around 200-220 degrees. Unlike air-cooled engines stop-and-go traffic isn't an issue (in my experience) requiring the rider to shut the bike off to cool... but no doubt there will be heat because it's detonating fuel between your legs lol.
