Only haters try to say the Indian is starting to look like a Harley, Indian has been around since 1900, and they even had an Indian four in the 1930s to 1950ish. Motorbikes are motorbikes Honda, Yamaha, Indian Harly, Kawasaki, two - three wheels and you can only do so much with that, just enjoy the ride.
I think the new Chieftain this is a wonderful great motorcycle, which deserves to be talked about. This new one is amazing, and it gives you a choice over the classic Chieftain, which everyone can still buy, and continue to buy in the foreseeable future. I think the "new" face of Indian, or should I say, the "other" face of indian are coming from bikes like the Scout Bobber, the new Springfield Dark Horse, and now the new Chieftain. Definitely from the same manufacturer. and you see family similarities, a bit rough, maybe darker, bit more in the background, more quiet sort of speak. - And then we have the rest of the family, which also more resembles each other, being majestic, classical, magnificent, and sort of loud. When you see all the Indian bikes together, you see that they are all related. Forget the absolutely boring Harley comments, heck! even forget about the victory comments. it boils down to, If you are not familiar with design, then two cars like say 2018 Mustang and 2018 Camaro will look the same. And who cares? What is your point of reference? My grandmother does not really care about cars, for her they will look alike, and good for her. She is no "car man". On the other hand If you are interested in cars, or concerned with design, you will immediately see a difference. i m m e d i a t e l y! - Many people will have trouble seeing a difference between let's say a Ducati Panigale and, say, a Aprilia RSV4 RF - Its normal. They may have a certain interest in motorcycles, but they are not that interested. on the other hand when motorcycles are not something that really really interests you, It's a huge difference! - If you' are interested - or have a" trained "eye, or know anything about motorcycle history... It is another story. This new Chieftain? it looks great!
This is the most positive comments I've seen so far on the new look. While I can agree to a point where they look more "Victory" that also looks (to me and to quite a few on the Indian MC facebook page) too similar to a street glide. Add in the extra money you'll have to dish out just for the new model, add in $1500 more if you are one of those who are bored with a black bike, and they seem to have priced out too many folks in my opinion. Just a Classic "not black" paint and add the stage 2, sissy bar, and heel toe shifter and you're at $30k.
Man, I'm happy I love all bikes. Ride an 05' Softail with 81,000 miles on it (all but 4,000 by me in the last 10 years). I really dig the Indians, still like the Harleys, but recently have been scouring the internet for Victories. Always loved them too but man, they're going cheap where I live. People are panicking and shouldn't. If you liked Victory and bought one, keep it if you can. Don't sell it for something else. They're unique where I live and that's only one of the things I like about them (bottom of the list). I just missed out on a 2015 Gunner last month because I debated too long. The guy let it go cheap. Had some great addons like cams, exhaust, etc. Seriously didn't think he'd go as low as he did, but he did. Damn.
I like the choices Indian gives you. A lot of people like the old style big fender and a lot don't, younger crowd likes chopped down. I like both. You get to pick what looks good to you and that's a good thing, not a bad thing. They are not copying Harley, they are making scooters appealing to all, so take your pick and enjoy!
Yes, many new choices, I think I'd miss the large front fender and might have to consider the Chieftain Classic, sure glad they didn't include spoke wheels on it.
I really liked it... for me is modern beautiful and stylish. People say looks like street glide. But I think street glide is horrible, a kind of "square lines" and a bike for an old man. I never thought to buy bager, and this one I loved.
Victory was and will always be the best american make bikes ever made, they had style like no other, easy to work on and customize, and didn't leak anywhere it stopped not to mention performance. Polaris made a huge mistake and I hope they realized it by now. Me personally will never trust a company that lied to its customers like Polaris did.
I mean its the same price as a street glide about for the base models, and you're getting Indian smoothness and build quality. Plus I like the look of this one more than the street glide personally, especially in the little details. I think its good that they left the old chieftain available but I definitely prefer this more 80s style tourer.
Dark Walnut is awesome, going in to order mine in a few weeks and keep jumping back and fourth from Black Pearl to the Dark Walnut. Who will win ...who knows but can't go wrong either way 😉
@@RebelRides 😁 I have an 04 Heritage Softail. 18 inch apes and it's like the Walnut but not flake with real ghosty flames so the black is looking like the change. Just traded my challenger for the new blacked out Chrysler so it would definitely match the theme. But I like chrome too so limited lol and a new grille on it's way for the 300s.
@@RebelRides Not sure what happened but I had the out in the wild crazy bike 500 HP manual nut car and then bam I'm looking for comfort tech and easy traveling lol WTF.
I bought Chieftain Limited 2018 model 10 days ago before knowing a new look for 2019 is coming, you know what I'm glad I got a 2018 model. the new one is a HD street glide copy, Sad to see this really, glad they kept the Chieftain classic in the lineup. 10 days I already did 3,000km amazing bike.
It's anything but a copy. HD is miles behind, no one is going to copy Harley. Indian is the Mercedes of motorcycles Try to get a million mile warranty on a Harley.
Yeah that does look nice. There's just something about this new fairing though. I love the 'locomotive' look of the Roadmaster and 2018 and earlier Chieftains but this new one just looks a bit more hardcore to me. I really want to see the walnut in the metal.
Dazzle Яebel Rides I agree it does have a more hardcore look. The chieftain had a very laid back smooth ride look to it. Ya that walnut has me super curious.
Dazzle Яebel Rides - I see some Victory CC design elements. Softer lines on the fairing and sharper lines on the bags compared to the CC. Same seat. Someone suggested that it looked like some of 2018 Victory Cross Country drawings except for the “V” rear lighting. Hmmm...walnut, burnt or natural? :-)
Looks like a street glide but that’s not a bad thing. Smart they kept the classic. Great looking 2019 lineup, but I’ll be keeping my 2018 limited fo sho
I have been going back and forth between the chieftain ruby red or the H-D street glide. I have been an H-D guy for 20 plus years but those Indians have me looking. Being an H-D guy the new 19 really grabs me and pulls me over. In stock form it offers far more than H-D in the chrome version. More bang for my buck? But I’ll need a new wardrobe lol
If you look at their 2019 lineup, it has less models than 2018. Something's up! The FTR is supposed to come out but what else are they going to produce? The large $20k+ bagger market is not that deep.
that look reminds me too much of Harley not my cup of tea. However I am wondering whether the rear cylinder deactivation could be retro fitted to older (pre 2019) model 111 ?
HEY !! Harley is getting ahead of you Indian, what happened to the FTX1200? Am I going to have to make one outta my Scout then offer the upgrades via the aftermarket??
As a 2016 Chieftain owner, I hate the new fairing, fenders, and saddlebags. As others have said, this is a reimaged Harley with Indian trying to appeal to someone who wants an Indian but not with the classic fairing, fenders, and saddlebags. Truly sad for Indian and I will keep my 2016 happily.
For me the "Classic" art deco fairing is ugly and I am glad they have done something with it as I like the updated look and love Chieftain Dark Horse in Bronze Smoke and the Limited in Ruby Metallic.
Something with a 250 section rear tyre upside down forks and an engine that looks like it comes from the 21st century could be very nice!! unfortunately this styling is not for me my grandad might like it but he died 50years ago. polaris have the blueprint for some great bikes use them
My thoughts I like the new bikes. But my god man, you’ll need 3 jobs to buy one. 25,999$ US dollars plus tax and reg and dealer $. That’s like 32k out the door.
I bought a 2018 Chieftain brand new here in California for 23k out the door. Dealer fees, registration fees, ect included. Put a little bit of money into cosmetically and now Im sure I have the baddest looking scooter in my area lol
I'm not seeing as much Victory styling in this as people seem to be stating? That said and either way, I love the new chieftain! I would get the darkhorse in black but that Dark walnut looks interesting. I'm a little surprised at the dark horse taking such a jump upwards in price matching the limited I think. In the past Polaris has "cheaped" their blacked out models so hopefully the gloss touches are worth it.
I'm not seeing the Victory lines myself either. To be this has closer lines with a 1980s BMW touring bike with the shape of that fairing and headlight. I like it.
People do realize that the roadmaster still has the classic look as well as the chieftain classic. They will continue to make both. If you dont like the new streamlined look you can always get a roadmaster or the chieftain classic. I think its great that Polaris/Indian is giving their consumers more choices. And thats what its all about. I do not see an issue. My only concern is that the chief classic doesnt come in dark horse. Other than that I dont have an issue with what they are doing.
Frankly, I'm surprised and a little confused at the styling change to a "more modern, updated look".....Did not Polaris just close down Victory because a high quality, high performing *"MODERN STYLE"* motorcycle didn't sell well....??? The TS111 has always been a blast furnace to sit behind when riding, which rear cylinder shut down will not do a thing for. This is a damn gimmic on any bike, unless the bike is sitting in dead idle for a long period(which rarely happens when "riding"), the rear is still going radiate heat in the short periods its not firing... Hey, at least the radio might sound better.....
Polaris closed Victory because they were losing big money every year. Not enough sales. No company should have to lose millions a year and be expected to continue. Polaris is doing everything right and Indian will be around forever thanks to Polaris.
I own two Indian bikes. One 2014 Chief Classic and a 2016 Roadmaster, but the new design of the 2019 models goes in the wrong direction. Not Victory design prevails but some HD features are groving as cancer. There were some leak photos of new Indian concepts according Victory elements, but they were OK. But this 2019 lineup is disappointing. Why the highway lights and turn signals disappeared from the front fender??? Spotlight is ugly!!! Looks like an old BMW R100. Saddlebags and seats also get similar to HD. Overall I am not happy with that design philosophy of Polaris. My enthusiasm for Indian begins to vanish. Try not to disappoint you customers in 2020!!! Regards from Hungary!
Totally think the Indian brand is mimicking Harley. Especially, the new 19's Chieftain. I wish Victory was still around. At least it was it's own look. Indian is an ugly bike that cost just as much as an Harley, but not even close in terms of style, looks, and quality.
You got zero right. Style looks and quality all go to Indian. Harley is not even close. Harley is still using 2 piece pressed together cranks! The 111 is like a swiss watch.

Polaris makes a pretty crappy motorcycle, and without the traditional Indian fenders they are not even worth a second look. This will likely prove to be the death of Indian once again. They dump Victory for Indian, then destroy Indian.

They are already holding value in the Uk and when people do get hold of them they seem to be holding on. Great bikes 👍
What you said 50 minutes ago. Beautiful....
Thanks 👍
If I were buying , it would be the classic.
Yeah, without the chrome bits it looks like a low test score cyclopes
Same price, often cheaper.

I want the Bronze Smoke........that's so sick!!!!

Bob Smith. I like the victory engine over the Indian look plus those engine's were indestructible...
I am not surprise that victory styling came back under Indian emblem. Need get back those who had victory to buy new indians
abazdarhon yup I’m glad they brought the Victory look in because Victories were the only baggers I was interested in!

Where's the 116" motor at ?
If the cost for having one installed is anything to go by it'll add 4k to the price.
I like the Chietain, however not a lover of the fairing being attached to the handle bars.
The fairing on my Chieftain is definitely not attached to the handle bars.
Look before you comment.
Hmmm, quite possibly a Harley Street Glide copy cat... Nice job!

Not for Indian. Sales are up and bucking the trend of bike sales being down!

Do not like the new Indian ChiefGlide
Hate it. A 20 year old design by Harley and that's the new one. Makes me sick.
Looks too much like a Harley. Not buying it. I’ll go with 17 and 18 models. Only saving grace is the war bonnet.
