Here we go again, just like Harley Davidson, the charge for the most simplest changes on all models across the line. I’m a long time rider and I’m amazed just how these manufacturers get away with charging for paint. Most of us that are independent restoration wannabes know that the cost of most color changes do not cost more. However, if one gets into the work of pearls or other high end colors there is a cost. At the manufacturer the painter gets paid the same for all black look or the reds or blues even gloss black. Same price. All these models shown are the same bike except some small changes in the suspension. Many of these add on items don’t cost the manufacturer a red cent. But they seem to throw in their extra charge for simple add ons. The consumer is now getting wise to this sales game and refuse to buy due to the over pricing by these manufacturers. I guess these Hot Shot CEOs need the millions of dollar salary’s for sitting in their plush offices playing with their computers. I’m not buying into stupidity. I got better things to with my hard earned bucks. No motorcycle is worth $30,000. Or more. This is totally ridiculous to the average working stiff plus the bidenomics interest rate on bikes.

Both Harley and indian have no choice. They are not allowed to sell performance exhaust systems because of government emissions standards so they respond with bigger engines.
So I bought a 2023 Indian Sport Chief for 19. It was a little pricy, but I paid. While I was at the dealer, I noticed bikes at 35 to 40. Let's put this in perspective. I paid 59 for my GMC AT4. That was out the door. Fully loaded all the bells and whistles. So a motorcycle is 19 less than a truck. How is that possible. No bike should be more than 30.
Bit disappointed with this line up. I love my Indian Motorcycles but see this as a step backward. The Scout range has been upgraded for two years as they try to improve the base model the Octane! The line up is basically colour changes, another Scout range, the usual Elite model and a very limited edition Springfield I think 50 in total. The best selling style of bikes are Adventure bikes so why not develop the FTR? But I have heard rumours the FTR is getting dropped at the end of 2025. Also a base entry around 750cc based on the classic looking Indians to celebrate its heritage and fill that gap I do not think the Scout 60 has done enough to fill that market. Polaris has seen a decline in sales since 2021 and is still doing the same. The world economy dictates what is spent on hobbies. If Polaris don't get their sales turned around they cannot fix the elephant in the room! They need more service dealers, if you cannot get your bike serviced or looked after unless you ride on average 2 - 3 hours away there is a problem. IMC infrastructure is in need of an overhaul. I would assume the Water cooled Roadmaster and Chieftain will be the early 2026 release?

Well said
Indian has NOT released the entire 2025 lineup, yet.
What hasn't been released?
@@cruisinwithphil We have to wait and see

They have not released all the 2025 models yet.
What's missing?
Out of all of those bikes, I don't see anything that I would drain my bank account for.
There's more coming in the new year. 122 thunder strike 112 power plus. Fork mounted fairing power plus. Looking for a bagged sport Chief.
Can't be outdone by Harley... Harley puts out bigger engines, Indian has to answer.

It’s clear from reading the comments some people love money, others love the spirit of the ride. I am a rider and money is just a tool.
Well if i had the money ! i would buy a new one ....................
I would love it they just offered lower prices.
They have not yet, hope they fix the Chief lineup. The Super Chief is a step backwards from the 2021 modal.
The road master is much like a hefty southern bell of a woman, with the big hat and the fluffy dress. She’s basically a dressed up big girl.
Definitely have not released the full lineup
A very nice rundown here Bro.
Thanks!

How come Indian bike look so plastic,they don’t look good to me.
And the prices are not the same
Full lineup has not been announced
What hasn't been announced yet?
Scout and chief same as 2024? So confused.
They released the 2025 Scouts back in April. They have now adjusted the Scout 60 lineup to match the Scout lineup. The Chief lineup hasn't changed.
@cruisinwithphil thank you
Why does everything these days have to be boring Black ? they look like Army bikes, ala WLA
I’m not much into the classic or Heritage look. I hope Indian introduces a sporty bagger model, water cooled.
