Took my challenger last year on the 4 corners of the US trip. All I need was tires oil change and a belt adjustment. Let's just say the harley that went along with me didn't have that same luxury lol. 20k miles in a year no issues
I just took possession of my 22 Challenger Base 2 week ago and it came equipped with the electronically adjustable suspension and it works. This bike is a blast to ride and handles like a dream.
@@Ridingfish Love it, works very similar to the system I had on the BMWR1200RT I traded in for the bike. Changing the preload on the rear shock is now easier and quicker then having to take off the left panel every time the load changes.
Bikes generally are personal. It doesn't mean the bike is good the person will like it. I personally, like both Indian and Harley. But honestly after owning both. I enjoy Harley more. Nothing with the bike itself. But the dealer makes all the difference. It depends on the dealer as well from one country to another. I get depressed every time I go to my local Indian dealer. No event or maybe 1 or 2 per year. No update in their social media. No new products or clothes. When I go to Harley, at least there is an event every weekend. If there is no event they will create one. They are very active in social media. They even have news every week on Facebook. Promotion and discount on certain products every month. I will tell you how much joy they did when they deliver my new Harley. Indian needs to educate its dealers on how to keep communicating with their customers.
Totally agree with Tony number two man. You were a big contributor to my getting a Challenger. I rode the Challenger when it first came out and liked it a lot but I wanted to wait and see how it did. Started following your channel right when you got yours. As a fellow Victory owner beforehand it helped me know that this would be the right bike for me. It felt like the only possible option after my XC. Watching you not have issues and get hard miles on helped me pull the trigger on Dec 6th. Thanks for what you do man. Keep the rubber down, and if you find yourself in Colorado let me know and we'll ride.
I appreciate this comment soo much!! I thank you for the support!! As for Colorado I love it there and im sure im going to be back!! ASAP PS.. going from Vic to Indian Challenger or now Pursuit is seamless
I can’t wait to get one. I’ve been waiting for, far too long. Every since I hoped on one, I was sold🙌🏽. Now I just gotta get one😂. When that time comes, I know exactly which one I want. That Dark Horse is freakin 🔥 to me. Plus I just love black. And since I live in Florida now, I’ve seen SO many riders. It’s like it’s motorcycle season all year long here. Gotta love it🤟🏽.
i love the Challenger and it will be a second bike next to the FTR. that was the plan but i missed the top case for the comfort of the girlfriend ... Indian heard me i think and announced the Pursuit ... L O V E !!!!
I do wish your mechanic would have spread the word on service advisory on the new flashes from indian so that everyone know there is a cure for throttle lag from Indian.
I guess to be fair I was asking him about big issues that would make a person question the bike as a whole!!.. but yes I do know indian just dropped a new flash to help with lag and other stuff
I do hear that a lot about the fixed fairing!! i tell ppl to eyes go where you're going ... should not even see the fairing!!! hahahah.. come here you can ride mine anytime!!
You will love it fairing I don’t even notice I have one I said the same thing and ended up buying one and loving it and smile everytime I get on it now.
My Question to Indian is Ridingfish???? Why wont Indian remove the 110 mph governor setting, because it seems that this bike will go way faster than that???
Riding Fish. Love the videos. I have been looking at the Challenger since it came out. I own a Harley Breakout but want to get a bagger for long trips. I test drove 2 demo Challengers and both had windshields that did not work. Those bikes take a beating for sure, but the weak link in the windshield is the plastic bushing. Do you have any idea if they fixed that yet? Things like that are stopping me from pulling the trigger on one. Most everything else from the ride quality to the power is what keeps me interested. Harley dealerships are now asking way above MSRP on new bikes. I may look into an Indian this year and jump off the Harley "Stealership".
So, the windshield are hit and miss.. but they are all covered when they break.. that being said im not sure how many have been breaking on the newer models.. my 2020 is doing ok.. i guess it would tell it doesn't tho!! pull the trigger you'll love it!!
Weird question for you. Do you notice any different helmet wind buffering with a passenger vs solo? I know that you can adjust the windshield height and you've played with the shields themselves. Damn, I'm off topic on this video, but it's something that really bugged me this week on mine and I'm like "I gotta make sure this doesn't happen on my next one!!"
@@Ridingfish honestly i have not...my first bike was a 1200 sportster 4 months later traded it for a street glide...i love it. BUT i would for sure like to ride a Indian
I need to quit watching your videos..........Keeps making me want to trade in the Chieftain lol. Can't right now as would loose too much on trade haha.
Do they have challengers in stock in the twin cities 🌆 ❓❓❓ here in Mississippi there are no Indians in stock nowhere 🍔 and H🏳️🌈Ds are Few and far between 🍕 every challenger they get in Mississippi is already sold 🎟 🕷 You can not find a slingshot here in Ms 🌮🍟 The car lots or empty 2 🌯🫔 ⛽️GAS $3,50⛽️ Diesel$4,50 to $4,90 ⛽️ H 83°F L 56°F mostly sunny ☀️ if you are retired or disabled there is no property tax in Mississippi 🥃🌭🥩 And they are doing away with state tax 🍔🍔 Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
I've completely lost faith Indian. No android auto no purchase. That's the deal breaker. Harley and Honda both have android auto and crapple car play. I don't and won't use anything Apple period I'll not lay another 30 plus thousand on another bike that dosen't have android auto.
I hear you!! but ok Honda you will be fine but HD you are going to have to do sooo many upgrades to get to where the Indian Motorcycle starts.. would be cheaper to buy an Apple hahaha
@@Ridingfish I've decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on a pair of pursuits because I want to trike one of them. No body industry wide can match the steering geometry of an Indian. Only upgrades I'll have to do is a heated and cooled seat an bassani true duals with bang sticks.

Hells yes!! Thats awesome I hope you get one soon!! Im alittle jelly that you can ride year around!! Haha
i love the Challenger and it will be a second bike next to the FTR.
that was the plan but i missed the top case for the comfort of the girlfriend ...
Indian heard me i think and announced the Pursuit ... L O V E !!!!
They read minds sometimes I swear!
Like the look of the new Pursuit, could you find out why we only have option of the Limited model this side of the pond.
umm I don't know.. what do you want that you can't have?
Traded my 2022 chief darkhorse for a new challenger going to do some long distance riding this year arkansas bound
Oh!!! Congratulations!! Yea you will be able to rip some long distance on the Challenger!!
I do wish your mechanic would have spread the word on service advisory on the new flashes from indian so that everyone know there is a cure for throttle lag from Indian.

ECU flash from Lloydz Garage fixes it, apparently, plus more power ,i hear
How is it that you walk around with no warm gear on when it’s frozen outside? Dang!!
because it was like 50 degrees warmer than the 3 days before felt like a heat wave!!
@@Ridingfish 🤣🤣
I’d like to ride the challenger just to see what the hype is about. But I don’t think I could handle the fixed fairing. It would do me head in.
I do hear that a lot about the fixed fairing!! i tell ppl to eyes go where you're going ... should not even see the fairing!!! hahahah.. come here you can ride mine anytime!!
You will love it fairing I don’t even notice I have one I said the same thing and ended up buying one and loving it and smile everytime I get on it now.
Buy a Cheiftain!!!! 😁
My Question to Indian is Ridingfish???? Why wont Indian remove the 110 mph governor setting, because it seems that this bike will go way faster than that???
Well IDK but i can say that HD has the same on their Baggers so maybe it has something to do with tire or fed law safety EPA stuff??@?@?@?@?

th-cam.com/video/9OenfJwWYac/w-d-xo.html. Here's a solution for when the plastic windscreen raising (worm drive? ) fails. A metal one! 🇦🇺

No!! No difference!! I always can get rid of any buffeting
@@Ridingfish thanks! My passenger couldn't turn her head or it would cause both of our helmets to act like bobbleheads!
hahahahha.... yea sounds fun!!
Hey Fish are they going to reopen the st Michael store
I have not heard.. whats St Michael like 35 miles to St Paul?
I’m in Brainerd st Michael was a bit closer
Aww I see!!
Ma in estate come cazzo ti vesti?
Mi vesto più o meno allo stesso modo a meno che non faccia molto caldo, quindi faccio cose un po 'diverse
it's a nice bike but i'll stick to mt street glide
I respect that!! What would your main reasons be?? Have you RODE a Challenger yet?
@@Ridingfish honestly i have not...my first bike was a 1200 sportster 4 months later traded it for a street glide...i love it. BUT i would for sure like to ride a Indian
@@Ridingfish you know what..i really wouldn't mind the chief bobber dark horse....
I hear you!! Sounds like when you enter the motorcycle market you got some. Test riding to do!!! Lol
I need to quit watching your videos..........Keeps making me want to trade in the Chieftain lol. Can't right now as would loose too much on trade haha.
sorry... well I got a full Indian Pursuit video dropping in a couple hours.. hahah
@@Ridingfish I will be there to watch it hahaha
Do they have challengers in stock in the twin cities 🌆 ❓❓❓ here in Mississippi there are no Indians in stock nowhere 🍔 and H🏳️🌈Ds are Few and far between 🍕 every challenger they get in Mississippi is already sold 🎟 🕷
You can not find a slingshot here in Ms 🌮🍟

Yes!! I know Indian Lakeville has some new and a white one even!! And StPaul may have one or two also
