- Today on the channel ,I let my brother test ride both CVO's, He happens to own and love his Indian Challenger, But I have a feeling all that is about to change. After riding them both, I get to the meat and potatoes of what his new thoughts about Harley and Indian are.

Sorry about the resolution guys, apparently it has something to do with the compression that TH-cam uses for some channels.
It'll get better when you qualify for monetization, processing speed becomes faster, too. I haven't bothered monetizing though, I just make videos for fun.
Great video, really nice to hear from actual owners who have both bikes. That's cool you get to ride with your bro. I'm in CA and my brother is in Maine. We got to do a 3-day ride together last year, was awesome.
I'll be getting either a Challenger or a Road Glide this year, haven't decided which. I've test ridden a 23 Challenger Dark Horse and a 23 Road Glide ST. I'm currently on a Low Rider ST. I preferred the Challenger, but my nearest Indian dealer is 3 hours away. I think the Harley looks better, and my local Harley dealer is great. Tough decision. I'll have to get a test ride on the '24s.
“Wait ‘til I’m done with it.” Enjoying the build so far and looking forward to the end result. 🍿
Should be interesting and fun
Well, that’s awesome man, I mean, either way you go. I don’t think you can go wrong with whichever bike you choose. But definitely test ride the 24 road glide. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised on how improved it is over the previous year. That being said, I’m a fan of the challenger, but my Challenger/Indian dealership is only about an hour away, so not too bad, but three hours is a little bit much for me. I would think that’s a little bit much for anybody if you have an issue with the bike. Riding with my brother was awesome. I wish I was able to do it more often. Hopefully in the near future and to be honest, I enjoy making the videos. I’m not super concerned about monetizing if it happens it happens like when it really happens through TH-cam. But then I’ll just keep enjoyingmaking content. Thank you for the support by the way it’s much appreciated.
When I was shopping for a bagger, I will admit that the Challenger felt more nimble. Even off the kick stand it felt lighter. I feel that the Harley looks more rich with seeing through the engine area compared to Indian seeming more plastic and solid at those area. Both great bikes, but I was more attracted to the Harley culture and looks of a Harley. Cheers!
, I totally know what you are saying, and I couldn’t agree more. However, I was still very attracted to the Indian, which is why I ended up getting it. Because I knew the Performance was there without the upgrades only because I had previously owned a 2019 chieftain Dark Horse With the thunderstroke. And I loved it, but I was more attracted to the Harley aesthetics and appearance just like you, which is why I ended up switching to a Harley. Fast-forward to 2023, I knew Indian had only gotten better, which is what drove me to get the 23 Indian challenger alongside having the 21 CVO.
We need more Jeff!!!!
Im gonna have to have him move back this way, lol
Great vid fellas
Ty very much !!!
A great video ....
You are lucky that you get to share a ride with your brother. My 2 brothers don't ride & have no interest in riding, more the pity for them ! LOL !!
It's goid that he owns an Indian, so he can give a valid opinion. The thing is the opinion are on 2 CVO's to top of the line, apex predator of H-D. The 23 is more refined power & probably smoother even wothe the carbor fiber wheels. The 21 that youve bulit is what defines a performance bagger build. Yeah, the t-bars might need more of a pullback, since he's shorter than you, but that's something that can be negotiated. Except forbthat there is probably not a lot more to do to the 21. His challenge will be to build up his 21 Indian to match (exceed) what you've done to the 21 CVO. These days that can be accomplished with relative ease. Personally, I hope he buys it. Everyone who can afford it should have 2 bikes in the garage. Me, I'm not that lucky, yet. I'm retired with a good fixed income, but, i keep telling everybody that the 23 Challenger Elite is almost worth going back to work for. The key word there is Almost !!
Enjoyed this one & looking forward to the stuff you're going to do to that 23 CVO, but don't ignore the Challenger !!!!
I'll keep watching !!!!!
Wow great commentary, i feel your spot on with all of it. I totally agree on the pity for anyone who doesn’t ride. And rest assured i will for sure not be ignoring the challenger for much longer. She’s coming down today i think. I would love to have him but the 21 if possible. But let’s see.
Ty for watching and as always great comments
Oh sh@t we were talking on Instagram dawg i didn't know you had a TH-cam channel com'on son you gotta put ppl on 💨🏁
Yes sir. Figured you already knew about it. My bad
He seems to like bolth brands.
Yea i was very surprised to be honest.
Love the content, but you’re comparing two $60k build bikes to a $35k build bike. Don’t seem likes it’s a fair comparison.
You’re not wrong, but the fact that the $35,000 bike stands even in the same ballpark as these other 40+ thousand dollar bikes, in my opinion, speaks volumes about how really good the Challenger is and I feel that most people underestimate the Challenger and Indian. Don’t get me wrong just cause I have too. Harleys doesn’t mean I’m not a huge fan of Indian. It is by far one of my most favorite bikes that I’ve owned to date.
I agree...you cant compare a $30K Bike with a 60K Bike..Like to see The Indian Challenger Base model compare with the HD RG or SG Base model and see how much $ it would take for the HD to equal the Indian performance wise?....
