Indian Chieftain Darkhorse 116 // First Ride

The Chieftain Darkhorse is one of Indian's most popular touring bikes! Does this fully-loaded bagger with a 116ci thunderstroke v-twin have what it takes to be my next motorcycle?

Love those Indian motorcycles!
They just keep getting better and better👍

[@NicePantsLance]

Im excited to see the results of their ongoing rivaly with Harley! Their competition should bring us some nice motorcycles 🤘

I just recently purchased a Chieftain Limited. I love this bike so far.

[@NicePantsLance]

Hows your Indian holding up? Im actually considering one myself! Lol

[@TheManGiraffe]

🦇Damn, his bike looks too small for me lol. Looks sick bro lol

[@NicePantsLance]

It's definitely not as roomy as i imagined! Still a fantastic ride 👌 thanks for watching bro 🤘

[@slaytanic921]

Are you tall? I’m just trying to figure the windshield issue.

[@NicePantsLance]

I'm 6'0" and if i owned one i would buy a flare windshield to help get more wind off me 👍

[@garrett1144]

So, I rode most of the Indian line up, I liked the bikes but at just over 6'2" my head felt like it was in a tornado on most of these touring bikes. It was horrible on the freeway for me. It's weird to say it's almost like I was too big for them. I'm looking for something like these to take my wife on some high mileage rides but i''m struggling to find the right bike.

[@NicePantsLance]

I understand how you feel! I've done some searching and it seems the solution is to upgrade to a Flare windshield and maybe a seat

[@myronmosley2167]

Most bikes regardless of brand are designed for the average male height which is 5’9”. So yea after 5’11, you are going to be outside of the stock wind protection range and in some cases the seating position as well. Chances are at your height, no matter what bike you choose you’ll have to get an aftermarket windshield, seat and or handlebars to make it comfortable.

[@TheManGiraffe]

You say its 7 inches, they say it's 4 "inches of travel"😉

[@NicePantsLance]

More windshield than most know what to do with 🤘😂
