Nice video, my friend. I bought the 2023 Chief Bobber Dark Horse, same color, with the stage 1 kit (air cleaner is more flush). Absolutely LOVE it. It's a perfect bike if you like the raw bike experience without the comforts of a bagger. I use a backpack just fine for my riding, no need for bags. Love the torque, it's a blast to ride! Stay safe, my friend.
I think they left the settings on sport mode - if you switch it down to standard or cruise the throttle is a little more forgiving. The dealers leave it in sport because they are always selling the speed and power (which it has). Also there is a round intake manifold that doesn't stick out as much but isn't quit as classic looking.
The reason it is a little jerky is because the ride mode is on sport, there are 3 different modes. I ride on the middle one (standard). Also the shocks are adjustable, must have been set too stiff. I don’t like that stage 2 intake cause it touches ur leg, there is a performance intake that is better.
I remember when I demoed the Indians I rode them hard I tried using them at there full potential without getting into trouble. I felt like everyone around me were newbs lol
I test rode the Bobber at 2 different open houses including its 2 brothers in the Chief line...It feels a bit smallish for me and very stiff ride...i felt every bump....I couldnt sit back far enough...But it has good power
Do you think it’ll be a good choice for a first bike ? And also were you in 1st gear most the time ? And I would be riding in South Carolina and Georgia.
I see you tested the Street Bob and the Sport Guide, do you think this Dark horse bobber is better than them?. I have an iron HD and just bought this Bobber dark horse but i never tested the Street bob and sport guide... please rate the three bikes with a number, thank you!
That's what they say but it's just marketing. The bike was made and sold in 2021, but saying it's a 2022 gives you the psychological feeling that it's newer than it is.
Not sport bike muscle cruiser. It’s like a sister to my HD Sport Glide. Mine also came with a stage kit. The middle cam 114ci & blacked out trim. Mine also weighs 670 dry. Made 116 TQ at the wheel. Mine probably makes more HP as it made 116 to the wheel & pulls to 6k instead of 5k. When I pop off the no tools needed quick release bags n mini fairing to run as a naked bike it looks like that bike. Handling is excellent & best ever for a HD with the stiffer frame new suspension & inverted forks. Brakes are better than expected with the ABS.
That cannot compare to a Harley-Davidson I'm sorry a Harley-Davidson is number one just everything on a Harley is better there's nothing that can compare to a Harley-Davidson. Everybody keeps trying there was nothing on this planet that is better than a Harley bottom line
Lol. I wanted to buy a Harley, rest rode a few but wanted something sporty, sooo…I thought 883, few days later I test rode Indian Scout bobber for that sport look…WOW…Indian it is!!! That Harley was so damn shaky and vibrations was horrible, not smooth at all. To it’s own though..

Great bike! Will definitely get stage 2 kit although it’s damn quick even stock.

I got mine! Hello from New Zealand.
Vancouver Island, Canada… just put a deposit on a 2023 Chief Bobber Darkhorse. Looking forward to summer cruising.

Truth.
change the pre load and it makes an absolute night and day difference.

May be a little too much power for a first...I would try a scout or a Triumph Bonni
@@BackDraftBikes thanks I’ll go for the scout bobber then 🙏🏽
Too bad they can't offer the complete blackout exhaust currently period

Dark horse definitely WAAAAAY better. Then SB, then SG
I got a small question wen Wass release date of the Indian chief Dark horse??
I am not sure, sorry! I think 2019?

How is this bike compared to the chief and hd softail slim?
Personally, it was better than both!
CENTRAL FLORIDA

Lol a dumper truck compares to the hd!! ......slow!
lol, some ate their daily bottle of glue. Whos a good boy, you are, yooouuu are :D
How is the analogue guages on the hd better than the digital indian gauge
That´s your point of view, i have a HD and the Indian chief dark horse bobber and both are "the better.." Fanaticism aside I evolve.

You really shouldn't try to show off your speed skill, you have none.
