As a Scout Rogue and Lowrider ST owner, I love what Indian did with the Chief Sport. They’re obviously targeting the LRS crowd and I’m all for it. This, the Buell x RSD, any kind of competition is good competition.
Buell supercruiser with the 1190 is going to be and insane machine but prolly not much of a real commuter. Still love it tho. I own a lowrider ST and an EBR(erik buell racing)1190SX. Its is an absolute handful. Light n faster than a superduke. But superduke rides nicer commuting and more torque but not by much. The EBR is a track bike for sure
Great looking bike! I'm looking forward to a side by side comparison to HD's LRS. I'm also impressed with the price! I paid that on my used '17 Chieftain Limited. Your review was in depth and very informative. Thanks again for another great video!
Brother you are killing it with all this badass content!!! Keep them coming!! Also glad to see you are in my part of the country. Hopefully you are eating plenty of brisket
Great review! I got the Rogue last year because I love it’s style. If this was available last year, this would be the obvious choice for me! Keep the content coming! 🤘
I can't wait to test ride one. It's has everything you need except for bags but those are usually a unique choice by each rider. Didn't like the 4 Gallon tank but I can look past that because the overall package is so good for that price! Especially the ride command display.
Back in 2016 Harley built the first Dyna Low Rider S. I remember seeing one on the showroom floor when it first came out. It was beautiful. In 2017 I bought one brand new. With its 110 SE engine, factory ABS brakes, club style looks and a price tag of $17,500 to me it was a no brainer. I love my Dyna S. Kudos to Harley for setting the trend for everyone else to follow. And good luck to Indian on their rendition of the LRS. It looks like a nice bike, and I'm sure they'll do well.
Would be nice to have seen Harley have that kind of speedometer on the low rider. I got a 2020 lrs .. not a huge fan of the dual tachometers though. Been lookin around or get info if its possible to put a 22 speedo on or the bar integrated one.
Harley Davidson, Indian,and now Buell are in a competition on who can make the best "club style crusier" as you can see they've been adding performance, style and handling,to their new line of bikes,which I believe is great for the consumer ,but hopefully price wise can actually take off...
I wish Indian made a rogue style fairing and dual front discs on the Super Chief. My SC didn’t come with the windshield and I’m not really stoked about those big flat panel windshields but a small fairing would help a lot in the winter without that sail on the bike.
lower risers and less electronic tech and I would love it. stilling looking to buy the HD Breakout or LowRider S the Low Rider is Non-ABS and a little tech... FOR ME IT IS A PLUS, riding them will tell who will get my cash.
Haha you know I couldn't wait for this one! Pumped that you got to ride it man. The POV of those bars looks awesome. Big question though..this or LRS? lol
@@Marvelkid87 Absolutely man. It looks fantastic, but I wish I could see one too so I could decide. I really wanted to sell the Challenger by April at the latest lol. I specc'ed it out, with higher risers, screen, bags, heated grips etc. I'm at about 22. Local HD dealers quoted me 22.5 for a new '23 LRS with no options. That sucks me to lol I wish I could get a chance to ride the chief to decide how much I like it or not compared to the LRS.
@@BrandonBicasso but hey still a big fan of Marvelkid87.. you guys are doing awesome work for old riders and newbies to motorcycles.. especially the cruiser community ..
I considered the chief sport for a second. But since all the dealerships are 200 plus miles away. Im gonna have to go lowrider s because im surrounded by so many harley dealerships. Unfortunately indian needs more dealer support before I can seriously consider them.
How is this more bang for your buck? The only thing better about it is the radial brakes up front. Lowrider S 117 has everything better, from weight to power to gas tank size, to upgrade options. All you need to match up to those radials on that Sport Chief is a set of Galfer Rotors and HH pads. Sport chief is 82hp stock, LRS 117 is 94hp stock. Practically everything is better on the LRS.
If you were in the market for another bike & didn’t have your LRS, would you choose this? Or the LRS?? Very interested as Im looking to get a new bike & am torn between the two.. ‘getting a chance to test ride both is unlikely for me’
Indians answer to what the Lowrider S doesn't have, I would be interested in the comparison of the two, power, handling, performance options, cams, pipes, tuning, big bore kits etc. I think the over all look is nice, the big question is with this style in mind would people buy this? the answer would be a definite yes!
Yrrrrrrrrr Austin Texas! What you doing Texas baby! Right off the back, you changed your mind about the bar set up and the suspension set up! Looks are deceiving but loved the setup without seeing it in person. Everything the bike is offering stock and the price point will have A lot of people looking into this bike. Again love Harley’s but Indian is making me look the other way. If Indian keeps brining bikes like this to the game will definitely make Harley stepping up their game. And if they don’t, Harley will start loosing more customer. Don’t get me wrong, I love Harley’s but not Indian is really stepping up their game! Ride safe and god bless! 10:55
Odd how people love hating on HD yet indian does a Chinese looking rip off (also priced higher) of a lowrider S and people love it. Lol strange. It isn't a bad bike at all but its got some Chinese knock off cruiser vibes for sure idc what any of you say.
You’re insane nothing Chinese about this bike! Looks straight out of son’s of anarchy! Typical HD guy that gets feelings hurt when another company comes out with a better bike than beloved HD. I really like HD as well.
@@joedunne9492 🤣 gtfoh if you think that looks better than a lowrider S especially fit and finish your out of your God damn mind. Lol its a nice bike with good parts but its definitely not better looking bike than the HD
Great review man. The bike looks good but I’m just not a huge fan of this Indian motorcycle. I’ll probably test ride one at some point just to be better informed.
I will go check it out & might even test ride.... I'm personally looking forward to the release of this Buell concept bike with Rolling Sands, looks tuff but I personally don't like the front🤮🤮 looks way to small. Living The F🤪KING Dream ❗ Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺
Indian is a challenging purchase considering their sparse and undedicated dealer network. Powersports folks do a great job of selling and servicing side by sides, but stumble with the "premium motorcycle' customer. Dear Indian, design and build a premium dealership network, with 2035 regulations in mind and you will have a successful and sustainable business model. Or not.
Still waiting for adjustable hand controls, a handlebar pull back option and other pending improvements......will wait for the next generation. I'm so disappointed with the awful ergonomics of the 2022 chief dark horse and i supose the Sport 2023 is the same. But the worst thing is that there are literally no custom parts at least here in Europe to improve it. I regret to have bought mine.
Bike has riding modes scrolls through the 3 modes returns back to sport mode.. lmao I feel like riding modes might only matter so much it’s slightly gimmicky..
My only question to the engineers would have been is….. why go through the trouble to add a second front rotor and caliper to this model when it doesn’t have ONE engine modification from the factory
@@Marvelkid87 agreed, as I have a ‘22 dark horse that I had Lloyd’s do upgrades on when it finally delivered to their Charlotte dealership back in October. That’s how I came to having this question rolling around in my head.
It feels great feels nimble so flickable really fun to ride at high speeds through those corners... shows videos of him riding like a somebody's old lady riding 2 up through the twistys lol. It seems like a good performance cruiser.. but it's ugly compared to harley. It just is.
All this talk about how great this bike is and how far behind Harley is, yet Harley came to the table with this style of platform in 2016…. It’s all good in theory, but no-one will be selling their Harley to buy a Polaris.
Looks like Indian copied the Harley/EBR frame. Looks good but so many details not mentioned. Weight, engine displacement, horsepower and torque spects.
116ci and 120ftlb torque stock! That’s all that matters on a cruiser like this HP really not that relevant because you don’t ride them in the high rpm range that would be the scout engine that is 100hp stock and revs high.
Indian is putting a lot of money into engineering & performance and it shows, but their design and style is hideous, up to now Harley still maintain its lead in design and details.
Once again, Polaris (I mean Indian) trying to copy Harley Davidson! How about these Motorcycle companies try and come up with something original and stop trying to be like HD!
@@Marvelkid87 Nah I agree. 116 isn't powerful enough for a "sport" its 82hp, same as the m8 107. My fat boy with SEtorque cam making 100hp still doesnt feel like enough. So I'm throwing a 22XE in there at 15K miles. Stage 2 on these chiefs is HELLA expensive since you cant get a tuner, or the specialty tools to install it yourself. I installed my SE cam at home and flashed thet une with a powervision. Sub 4 second zero to 60, hell yah!
As a Scout Rogue and Lowrider ST owner, I love what Indian did with the Chief Sport. They’re obviously targeting the LRS crowd and I’m all for it. This, the Buell x RSD, any kind of competition is good competition.
They are Deff doing after the lrs riders with this one.
I got a Scout Bobber and a Dyna club style. We got pretty similar bikes.
Buell supercruiser with the 1190 is going to be and insane machine but prolly not much of a real commuter. Still love it tho. I own a lowrider ST and an EBR(erik buell racing)1190SX.

Thanks man! Dude I tried it for the first time ever and let me tell you it was the best thing I have ever tried! 👌🏽
Someone needs to make a 240 tire kit for this line. I would totally go down that road.
Love what Indian has done with this one. Nice review in one of my favorite towns.
👍🏽
Great review! I got the Rogue last year because I love it’s style. If this was available last year, this would be the obvious choice for me! Keep the content coming! 🤘
Great stuff man, great meeting you looking forward to more texas videos!

👍🏽 4 gallon gas tank isn’t bad. The bike does well
Its cool your near where I'm at hope you enjoyed the better weather and riding in the hill country.
It’s beautiful I Deff want to go back to ride and hang

Interesting and well done my friend - it’s cool to see off the bat are those bars coming dialed in stock and those calipers 🔥
Yes sir I was pretty surprised about all that

Great review, can't wait to get my hands on one!
Great looking bike, Indian did a re make of the Victory Kingpin. And that was a great bike.
I wish Indian made a rogue style fairing and dual front discs on the Super Chief.
My SC didn’t come with the windshield and I’m not really stoked about those big flat panel windshields but a small fairing would help a lot in the winter without that sail on the bike.
This bike is awesome, if I was looking for a new bike and I already own my dream dyna, I might buy this over a low riders
Man that’s a nice bike. Been wanting a chief and I do believe this is the one
Looks and sounds great. Anybody making good power with this motor?
lower risers and less electronic tech and I would love it. stilling looking to buy the HD Breakout or LowRider S the Low Rider is Non-ABS and a little tech... FOR ME IT IS A PLUS, riding them will tell who will get my cash.
Lrs has optional abs and for the most part most dearlerships order them with it
Great review dude, that’s a bad ass looking bike!
Damn, this bike is pretty much PERFECT! Cruise control did it for me on top off all of the other features it offers! This bike is simply PERFECT!
Once a rider has had cruise, hard to ride without it.
Other than the rear fender, which I hate on any bike. Looks pretty sweet.
👍🏽
I really dig that front fender
It bad ass so different like that fairing not like others and it looks great. Definitely indian if that had a 5 gallon tank I would 100% buy one
Haha you know I couldn't wait for this one! Pumped that you got to ride it man. The POV of those bars looks awesome. Big question though..this or LRS? lol
I love my low rider s man to me it’s the best cruiser on the market. But this is a hot contender 👍🏽🔥
@@Marvelkid87 Absolutely man. It looks fantastic, but I wish I could see one too so I could decide. I really wanted to sell the Challenger by April at the latest lol.

They need these forks twin discs and that speedo display on the scout to update it as its due for a serious uppdate
Please don’t do dual disc brakes. Only need is on a super sport if even that.
Is that Brando Bicaso bringing up the rear.. very excited that Indian has brought out the Sport Chief ..
🫡
@@BrandonBicasso but hey still a big fan of Marvelkid87.. you guys are doing awesome work for old riders and newbies to motorcycles.. especially the cruiser community ..
I’m Harley all the way but that’s a mighty fine looking motorcycle! Indian for the win!
Indeed it is 👊🏽
no fender gap, no aftermarket options to do so
i really want to see this bike with the standard 6" riser and mini apes
I was gunna get the lowrider s but now???? That sport you definitely get more bang for your buck!
Both are great options
@@Marvelkid87 if you had to pick one witch one would you get and why?
I considered the chief sport for a second. But since all the dealerships are 200 plus miles away. Im gonna have to go lowrider s because im surrounded by so many harley dealerships. Unfortunately indian needs more dealer support before I can seriously consider them.
@@joemckibben5729 Lol that’s literally the only thing i can think of why not to get an Indian. Dealership support…

How about a side by side comparison to Harley’s Low Riser ST
I know this about Indian but have you seen the new Buell coming out around 2025?
Personally I think they look absolute killer.Indian are just smashing it they are going from strength to strength 💪.
great review
I feel like the Buell Super Cruiser has put Indian and Harley on notice
Indians answer to what the Lowrider S doesn't have, I would be interested in the comparison of the two, power, handling, performance options, cams, pipes, tuning, big bore kits etc. I think the over all look is nice, the big question is with this style in mind would people buy this? the answer would be a definite yes!
Good review, but I’d prefer no background music so I can hear the exhaust
Good video ..but don't music over the video when you do the ride. It would be cool just to hear the music of the engine. Thanks!
Good competition to the Harley Fat Bob and Low Rider S. Smaller and more maneuverable.
Yrrrrrrrrr Austin Texas! What you doing Texas baby! Right off the back, you changed your mind about the bar set up and the suspension set up! Looks are deceiving but loved the setup without seeing it in person.

Looks like an FXR. Not sure it knows what it wants to be. Not a club style, not a sporty, not a bobber, not a chopper, not a cruiser. I like it.
Lol 🤘🏽
Would be good to hear what it sounds like with a set of pipe on her. Great bike
Indeed
How was the wind protection?
Took all the one off my chest
@@Marvelkid87 Thanks

Right off the show room floor
😆👍 99.9 only thing I don't like is gage wish it had duel gage with info system on one speed rpm on the other.

Every new model Indian puts out looks more and more like HD. Why can't they be more original and less copycat?
