- Coming Back with another Indian. This time a Chieftain Darkhorse. Check out the challenger video for feedback on electronics and tech. but this air cooled 116 is smooth and delivers good usable power for the long haul. I think its a solid bike.
If you live in NE Florida and want to test out a few these bikes check out. Twistedroads.com and Riders-share.com to schedule a ride.

I have a 2023 Indian Roadmaster. And I couldn’t be happier. I have over 40 years of riding, and most of that was on HARLEY-DAVIDSON’s. You gotta love those Indian bikes.
Ohh man. What made you pull the trigger on an Indian ?
@@NostalgicMotorcycles I had two Harleys and I was willing to trade both in for a brand new motorcycle. My local HARLEY-DAVIDSON dealer was borderline insulting on their offer. Indian treated me better, and I just like the classy style and look of their bikes.
@@johnh8197 Awesome man glad to hear that dealer was able to take care of you. They Guys at my local Indian dealer are awesome as well.
I own a 23 Pursuit Dark Horse Premium. Love it. Love the chieftain too
Nice ! Love that bike man it’s bad ass
weird... when I put the thumbs up its not changing the number.. anyway was #1 🤣
Lmfao 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ either way I got it now lol. Like the new touches ? Any feedback for me ?
@@NostalgicMotorcycles doing a good job, I like the visual additions - transitions/graphics looking good!
👌🏽👌🏽 thank you.
I appreciate you showing moving the bike around pushing-pulling with your feet. I ride a magna now and im looking for a bigger - more toque bike but i was worried about flickability and pushing it around the garage...
Nice !! I have a 95 magna. I will say this. Yes it’s heavier. The bike being wider makes the reach of the hands more difficult. But if your Honda is factory height. This bike is easier to pick up off the side stand. Moving is not as bad as you would expect but it is slightly more difficult.
You went passed my old station! 😃 great review, I dig the color
Past your old station ??
@@NostalgicMotorcycles yeah on that back road in the beginning it’s called pine ave, there’s a fire station off of it, I use to be assigned there
Ohhhh gotcha ya sorry fire station isn’t the first thing that comes to mind for me lol !
Dope test run dawg 🫡 keep it up
Thank you thank you. I have few more planned for the pipeline ! 💪🏼💪🏼 seriously appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
air cooled bike has a nice sounding exhaust system from the factory.
Ya its pretty beefy. and with an exhaust its even better !!
Normally I would say Yes, yes it is, but as the proud owner of a stunning 2019 Indian Springfield in steel gray and burgundy metallic, I got to go with Indian Springfield, Cruiser Heaven, all day, every day!
Man that's a beautiful color saw one at the dealer this day its good !
Great video man! Subscribed!
Hell ya thank you very much ! I appreciate it !
After watching both your challenger video and this chieftain video (both of which were stellar by the way), which is your favorite?
Thank you very much I appreciate that feedback !
Honestly the bike that keeps coming back to my mind is the challenger(pursuit more specifically). My reasoning is this, I love to rev and that bike has equal the torque for the chieftain yet has top end power. Revving the challenger is more entertaining (and it’s faster). The ride quality is the same ergonomically they are very similar with the chieftain having a slight bit more heavy handling (it’s still stupid light). The engine is my reasoning. 100% that power plus is my style of engine. I get off and say wow that’s a solid running bike and I’ve ridden several at this point.
Yes but the engine noise isn't the same....nothing beats an aircooled push rods engine.
Nothing beats and air cooled pushrod engine when it comes to what ?
to the sound, of course
They do sound good !!
Good video. Please at least wear gloves mate. The lightest slide on the road rips your hand apart. And again great video!
Thank you Very much I appreciate the feedback. Anything in particular that was of interest?
And I am fairly bad at gloves lol Its hit or miss as you can see some videos I do some I don't Its not constant for sure.
@@NostalgicMotorcyclesthat backrest is all about comfort called lumbar support most important thing on a seat not cushion thickness
I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing. This bike does not have a backrest. Obviously it can be added. Any lumbar support would come from an addition to the seat which will sit above the seat. The arch in the seat would not really effect lumbar support and hopefully your lumbar spine is not shaped like that as ouch lol.
But what do I know 🤷🏽♂️
@@NostalgicMotorcycles it’s seat I called it backrest don’t know why
Gotcha !! Yes does a great job keeping you in place. Flat seats are not as comfortable for sure.
Nice review keep up the good work
Thank you very much I. I really appreciate the feedback !
Wild just bought a bike from that store
Oh dang awesome. What did you get ?
The bike sounded great. Any need to add slip ons?
Always need slips ons lmfao. But that’s personal opinion. It sounds decent. Idle you can’t hear the exhaust. Very much and there is a little noise in the rev. It’s still a doctors exhaust. Next to another bike or road noise you won’t hear it. In a full face helmet the bike has a slight humm but in a windy day you wouldn’t be able to hear it in a full face.
Love my 16 Roadmaster
Have a stage 2 2019 coming soon it was a fun ride !
I guess Harley Davidson is the standard Indian is trying to replicate.
That’s the one to beat that’s for sure. Well at lease in the bagger game
there's an awful lot of thunderstroke engines with trouble free high mileage.
It’s a good engine. It’s been around for years. And for good reason !
If they would put a liquid cooler motorcycle in it i would buy
I’m waiting for it for sure !!!
Hey are those Painted on eyebrows. Nice. 😅
Real deal bro !!
What's the asking price
24k if I’m not mistaken.
No!!!!
Yessssss
Sorry buddy, can't take you seriously with that choice of facial hair
