I have a 2023 Indian Challenger Dark Horse. I took a 1600 mile round trip ride to Knoxville from Texas. Very comfortable bike, I just changed the bars and it was perfect. It has a ton of power , it was a very enjoyable ride.
I love the Challenger. Your videos made me buy a 23 Rogue! Can't wait to see more content on this beautiful bike. Stay safe
Wow that’s awesome to hear man 👍🏽 I hope your happy with the purchase.
Riding in the rain isn’t bad if you can keep the speed up! You did it like a champ! Congratulations on the bike! I know it’s a loaner but still sweet!
great video and congrats on getting the loaner from White Plains Indian. Those guys are great. Picked up a few bikes from them in the past including a 2020 Challenger dark horse. Bike was a beast. The only thing it needs is a nice 2 into 1 exhaust and some bars.. nothing else. Already has inverted forks, mono shock rear suspension, LEDs all around, brembo breaks, and a nice comfy seat. Enjoy it. I also have a 2022 Road Glide ST. Honestly the Challenger is a better buy.
I agree it doesn’t need much but I would still add on a bunch of cosmetic stuff to it to make it stand out from the others
Glad you got to ride it and keep it for awhile.. I did a demo ride at Americade on the exact bike and really liked it.. they give you a lot of upgrades as stock.. great price point also.. enjoy
Look forward to future content on the Challenger. It would be nice if Pnutz rides it to get his perspective on it vs the RGST as well💯
That’s coming as well
I’ll give my review 😂 probably sometime next week
@@Marvelkid87try not to ride directly next to a vehicle. U are either in front or behind the vehicle next to you. Make a pass so you are always out of their blind spot. Safety is everything, ride safe
great video. I have had 4 road glides. I have a 2021 rg special now. I've been watching a ton of videos on people trading their rg for the Indian challenger. I went and rode one last Thursday and its a better bike. It rides better, has more power and handles better. I'm probably going to trade mine in for a challenger. Can't wait to see more videos on the Indian
👍🏽
Many thx for doing this one...looking forward to your thoughts on the comparo! They are nice bikes. That Jack Daniels bike is sweeeet! Ride safe!
There’s another video coming up on Wednesday then in man 💪🏽
@@Marvelkid87 all in!
Can’t wait to see more reviews about the Challenger and what you end up doing to it. Might have to test ride one to compare it to my 22 RG ST.
It’s a long term loaner but I’m happy as hell riding this thing
Idk why people are scared to review it and even just rest ride it. Atleast ride it before saying it’s terrible lol
Rode the challenger and pursuit yesterday at a demo days and they are bad ass bikes. I might trade my heritage for one in a bit. Cant wait to see what your experience is with it.
💪🏽 that’s awesome man
Looking forward to your review since you have a RG and I know you appreciate Indians. You can have a preference and also acknowledge when another manufacturer makes a good product. All the copy talk is childish. Who cares!!
Excellent decision great bike congratulations!
Look forward to your reviews. Put lowers on the bike . Ride safe.
It's a nice bike. Just hope you never, ever require service during riding season. This spring a good friend waited over five weeks (!) for the local dealership to complete an in-warranty head gasket replacement. Last year he waited several months for a replacement transmission. If you're a rider or traveler, think long and hard about service wait times and comparatively diminutive dealer network.
Barnstorm cycles is the only company that makes a t bar set up for the challenger. Only thing I believe Kraus makes for Indians is for the chief. One major reason I bought a roadglide over a challenger
🙌🏽
So what it Polaris.I own both HD and Indian. Some you all need get out more.Competition is great for consumers.Indian Polaris is helping push HD .How many decades did HD rest on their laurels and give not that many improvements particularly performance and suspension handling etc.Uh yea HD lowrider st in garage and have owned Sportster. The Scout line comes along and presto improvements. Yes Emissions epa but come on Indian is landing blows.We all win !
I can only afford one bike so it's an Indian Roadmaster for me but if I had the money I would own an HD as well. Love American style touring bikes period!
If you have access to do accessories, you should change out the handlebars. Then do the air intake, slip-on exhaust and the flare out windshield. Are they giving you a budget?
💪🏽
Love the look of the Challenger. Haven’t had the please of riding on one yet but main reason why I usually go with HD over Indian is the dealer network. Just not many Indian dealerships through the US. Only 1 in CT and it’s about an hour away from me.
Yea it’s something the company needs to work on. Harley has a huge advantage when it comes to dealer network and aftermarket.
@@Marvelkid87 yeah I agree. Aftermarket is getting better but still far off for sure.
Can’t wait to see your videos of it though 👍
Nice video keep up the good work fella
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Awesome bike
I live 5 min from that shop. They just did demo rides i road just about all the bikes. I ride a 2020 lowrider s . And im thinking of switching over to indian they are a great rideing bike. Loved the indian dark horse challenger.
The dark horse is what I would get!
@MarvelKid87 got the lowrider s cause of you was thinking about moving up to a road Glide just dont know witch way to go can't wait to see what you have to say.
I hope you can do a Stage 1 on this bike.
It is Amazing 🇺🇲 the ride the handling is unbelievable 🤔
Indian challenger looks so sweet ride
🙏🏽
I think Barnstorm is the only company with a riser setup for Challengers. Only reason I went with a Road Glide over the Indian.
👍🏽
Don’t know about risers but KST makes the Comanche bagger bars for them. I think you said Indian will allow you to put Indian upgrades on it and they probably make something similar.
The Challenger is extremely top heavy. Plan on dropping it. Invest in guards! Once in motion it’s pure bliss.
Sill bad ass. I've had a Rushmore street glide and still have the 2015 road glide. They hit it outbof the park with the challenger. Harley prices are freaking ridiculous. $54k for the new CVO Road glide. Thats a really nice car or truck. No way Harley. No way.
Do exhaust I've never heard a indian that sounded good
Sounds pretty good for a stock exhaust
How does the fairing compare to the Road glide on the highway?
I’ll be doing a follow up on that.
I would love a Bobber as a second bike.
Dream bike, dude. Congrats on getting it. Enjoy this summer. Go ride someplace you've never seen.
🤙🏽
the soyglide 😂🤘⚡🤘 i had too.
Is new that was coming 😂😂
@@Marvelkid87 😂😂😂😂
Let's turn up a notch my guy congratulations on the pick up 💨🏁I'm not far Brody let's link up on 2"s
🤙🏽
Nice pick up dude. Enjoy it. You are chewing the shit out that gum lmao
The bike does look really nice,especially that blue one! But NGL the RG looks better..Dope that Indian let u hold it..Oh and btw i wouldve told them to drop it off like they drop the other ones to u lol..That shit wouldve stood right there in the rain lmaoo
😂😂😂😂 it’s fine this rainy trip was part of the experience #rainmode 😅😂
Lmaoo i already know bro,the rain mode was put to the test for sure
whenever I see the beautiful bike, I think the narrow fork bars at the front will break down somehow. and the massive fairing fits as little into the overall line as the HD Road Glide 2023 CVO. sorry
Beautiful bike, thank you for the video
Where is that dealer located at??
Check for electrical recalls.
if it wasnt for adding legend suspension on my harley i would love to trade and go indian to have something different
💪🏽
I was just at this same indian dealer on monday
Hey! That's Pablo! I used to work with him in Jersey City.
😂😂😂
Who’s this lol
@@pnutz__ Tom with the long hair and the Aprilia. Your buddy put Harley's LRS on my radar a few years ago and now the RSV4 is for sale. It's looking like I'll either end up with a Dyna Street Bob or a new LRS in white. Hope your doing well brother.
@@roughnecknj of course you use to park by the office lol. Yea if you end up getting one stop by the shop. We’re there on the weekends ..hope all is well
If the manufacturer puts crash bars on the front, then why the hell do they not put them on the back too. Harley does the same thing.
Great vid.. Indian should let you build out a bike and do a raffle giveaway with it would be awesome exposure for indian
That would be awesome 🤩
The silver outline on the front speakers , is so un- classy ! It makes it look so cheap. That’s why the dark horse is so much better especially the headlight accents that come with the dark horse package.
Im honestly not a fan of that chrome outline either.
I want Jerry's thoughts at the end!
Definitely a nice bike man...
🙌🏽
Can’t wait to hear your impressions after you put it to the test. But your RG In terms of looks is hands down way better!
Yea man I’m going to have to do a few comparison videos with both bikes 🤙🏽
@@Marvelkid87 can’t wait. Open invitation if you want to come down here and put it side by side with the SG as well. 🤙
Gotta check out that pursuit next to the SG ..looks fire as far as design and styling
@@pnutz__ come on down bro 👊
I brought a brand new Indian Chieftain Limited and it was the worse bike I’ve ever owned. The bike went into limp mode at 2,000 miles. It wouldn’t go above 30 mph. Also, I was in a state where I was unfamiliar. I thought Indian/Polaris would aid me since the bike was under warranty, but they didn’t. I had to have the bike towed to the dealer I brought it from . After sending it to two different dealers, they told me that the bike had software issues. And they had to build a new software for it. I asked how long would that take, and they said they don’t know. I asked could they just replace the bike. And Polaris/Indian said that they couldn’t replace it. So they expected me to pay for a bike I couldn’t ride. The bike couldn’t be repaired or replaced yet, they expected me to pay for it. I traded that piece of junk for a new Harley Davidson Road Glide Special. The HD dealers are easy to find and they honor their warranty. Be careful with Polaris/ Indian. The bikes and the company are trash.
Mate, if the ride modes also simultaneously changes the suspension settings to match, then together with the windshield electronic height adjustment and great stock suspension, you already have a bike that is hands-down superior than the HD offering. It's a shame the loan Challenger isn't red, would look even more magic next to your RG.
💪🏽
Never rode one and bought it?! I don’t get people like you, but thanks for the video.
U must have not listen to the whole video ….I don’t get people like you but thanks for your comment
Why am I getting Harley adds while I’m watching an Indian video?!?!
I like the background music. Your Road Glide looks way cooler to me, and you look better on it.
💪🏽
Harley Davison you better step it up
Black bikes are hard to see!!
But when you do see it - it looks good.
👌
Good choice since harley design team is lazy and no longer innovated only looking to line their pockets
Your boy must drink bud light.
Kindred members saying anyone drinks bud light is wild 😂💀
money talks…………………………! Sad but true!!!
I’m sorry, but it’s a Polaris (Victory) with an Indian badge. The real deal died in 1953.
Hot take.
Muppet
I don't have a Victory but talk to anyone who does and they say they are awesome cruisers.
It's an Indian. Just like when AMF bought Harley. They were still Harleys. You remember AMF? The bowling ball company.
@@yoshit9819 Not even close to the same thing. indian was out of business for 67 years, before polaris stole the name.
Meh it's a victory 2.0 and honestly not even as good as a victory, it's a victory that they tried to turn into an Indian that they tried to turn into the road glide , enough said get a road glide ....and the views drop..
It’s a Harley copy,there is no more Indian as a company,not intrigued or interested,show me something different Polaris 💯👊🏾
Sorry brother love the content,I’ve learned a lot from you,I’m a fan 💯
