      Hard to expect everyone to follow every channel (obviously), so posters should try and provide some context to help themselves out a little. Maybe like starting the video with, "and here's what happened last time we bought an Indian...." and give a ten second recap.....

      Indians ride better than any other cruiser but my experience owning them was awful. There is no support after purchase. Unfortunately I broke down a lot and parts were ridiculous to get. My buddy has a 2017 vintage and he wanted to get reduced reach handlebars for it. They don’t make em anymore! The fuckin bike is 3 years old and they already don’t support it. I can walk into a Harley dealer and buy any part I want for my 15 year old Harley and it will be in stock in the building. Even though Indian is a better ride owning a Harley is so much easier. Indian needs to step up their game. Their dealers suck and honestly Polaris kind of sucks too.

      I’d rather ride an Indian but I’d rather own a Harley. No dealer support and no parts availability. They break down just as much as a Harley but Harley parts are in stock and there are experienced service depts everywhere. When your Indian breaks down and it will just like any other bike the parts take weeks to months and the service depts might be able to squeeze you in sometime in the next decade. I loved my Indians but I don’t think I will ever own another one. Too much headache. Hell, my buddy can’t even get handlebars for his 2017 Chief cuz they don’t make em anymore. How does Indian stop supporting a three year old product. It’s pretty sad.

    I rented one a few years ago out in Utah. It started out as a very warm day and I was heading back to where I was staying, wearing only a helmet, mesh jacket and gloves. Oh yeah, jeans too. Riding only in boxers isn’t safe. The weather made a big change as a cold front came through and rain started falling. I thought I was going to take a bath but I raised the windscreen to its highest setting, closed the lower vents and cruised home in a pocket of dry air. Very impressed with the bike.

The Indians are still very nice bikes and I hope they continue to innovate and push the industry on improvements. Thanks for the review on the Indian

    Yup, my dad used to own a 1936 Indian chief back in the days of my youth. Back when the rival of the big bikes was about Indian and that other bike that every one thinks is the greatest thing on two wheels. Dad's belief was a simple one when it came to ownership. He used to say that there were two kinds of bikers. The guys that owned Indians and the guys that wished they had bought Indians. Dad's bike was a rather interesting one of a kind Indian cold blooded to the point it some times had to be towed to jump start it. throttle on the right both front and rear brake on the right as well. clutch on the left rear stick shift on the left as well. it was a bit tricky to shift but it was the coolest bike I'd ever seen. he had double darksided it. his head light came from an old Chevy pickup truck when his original seat gave out he replaced it with the seat of an old ford farm tractor and added a bed pillow just to make it a bit more comfortable.
    Would I buy one of the new Polaris Indian's if I could afford it? Do chickens lay eggs?

Only thing I don't care for on my GW is it's missing an electric windscreen and a 5 speed ...a 6th gear would bring down those RPMs at 80+ mph when cruising the interstates.

    Ancient Harleys had oil in the right tank and gas was only in the left tank. there was a hand pump in front of the right tank for pumping oil into the oil total loss engine. Hence two caps. After Harley put an oil pump on the engine and an oil tank under the seat they kept the two caps. Actually the gas crossover tube was slow so with my 1973 Harley I would fill my left tank first then there would still be room for more in the right tank.

    Sean, I own a 2020 Springfield and I will try to help with more substance for this video. Yes, I love the bike, and I will focus on the cons. 1. The gas tank cap: it does not have a key-lock. 2. Both controls on the handle bar: those are plastic as opposed to metal. 3. The kickstand: it takes more than one foot swing/positioning effort to put it down in a safe place. Perhaps this might not be an issue for some one that is 6'2", but for me 5'9", it is a double step effort. 4. The mufflers: both are a little too low to the ground on each side. I had three bikes before this one, and those were forgiving, but this one, you have to move your feet away immediately as soon as you start turning from 0; otherwise, one of your boots might get caught up between road and muffler. As for the large FOB, perhaps that is for when wearing thick gloves.

I loved that bike, and I put it through hell, and it came through like a champ! I have a picture of riding it in 122 degree weather one day in California, then, when I was working in Palmdale, I regularly rode it in 30 and 40 degree temperatures. Even though these bikes are air/oil cooled, it never skipped a beat. In December of 2018, I bought the Roadmaster and love it even more than the Chieftain! This bike is super comfortable, feels really nimble for such a heavy bike, and looks amazing! The only changes I have made to it is to add turndown exhausts and a ram air intake. I will not have any other models!

    The entire reason I went with HD over Indian is how I was treated in the dealership. The guys at the Indian place were so uninterested in working with me and Harley literally asked which bike I wanted to test ride and said "no loop, just bring it back in like 15 minutes". No brainer at that point.

      And I had the complete opposite experience. The Harley dealer called my Honda Rebel 500 a piece of shit. One of the women managers came out and said “who’s piece of shit is this on my floor?”
      So I went to indian and they gave me no pressure. I walked out with a beautiful indian scout rogue. And my wife walked out with a BMW R18 bagger from the same dealer.
