I don’t wanna be the only one who says I’ve been on a Harley Davidson my whole life from my pops n mom sitting in the middle of them raisen up to now 56 years later n still on my Harley Davidson ultra recliner till the day I die It’s cool u get to ride other brands n tell us about them n i pass info along so keep it up her two wheels n go buckeye girl go
I am only 5'5" and 75yrs old, so I am really glad that I can still ride and I ride an Indian scout 60 and love this bike to death. The stock seat on a 60 is ten times better than the stock scout seat. I also put raisers on and a fly screen windshield. Indians Rock 😊❤😊
Great to see that Indian quickly addressed what were considered faults with the 2022 Chief. Lean angle, and short rear suspension. They raised the bike 1 inch by great fox 4 inch rear suspension. The front suspension was improved by putting the Challenger inverted forks on and them put Brembo Breaks on also and also lowered the rake for quicker turn ins. I glad Jess liked the fairing, myself at 6 foot I would put the large windscreen on. And I would put the forward control footboards accessory also. There are several options on the handle bars and risers also, so it can fit just about anyone's liking. I am going to give this a hard look this spring. It may make a great stable mate and change of pace to my Victory Cross Country. Guess I will be visiting Pony Powersports in Columbus, OH soon.
I've watched you test ride plenty of bikes, but have never been so motivated to go test ride one as much as this. What a beautiful machine! Also, Sponge Bob at Sandy's house? Love it!
Jess, the reason why you scrape peg is because you have a mean lean!😊❤😊 keep safe and thank you for such nice videos, you are just so super nice! We love you lots ❤️🥰❤️🥰Happy Trails always ❤
Oh, that giggle when you hit sport mode. That was absolutely fantastic!! Loved your candid, objective view of the bike. This doesn't dissuade me from wanting the Challenger, but whew, I'd love to test one of these out one day!
@@HerTwoWheels Great review thanks! As you recently rode the BMWr18 would you say this "Native Ameican" bike has a more comfy rear suspension thant the German ? Thanks!
Great review and love your enthusiasm. I'm waiting for the first sport chief to arrive in Australia to look at. I'm currently eyeing on the scout rogue. Cheers from Sydney...
it's the delighted giggling for me lol. It's time for a new sidepiece and Jess's videos are a major part of my research. I've been on a Honda VTX for almost 10 years. It's giving. me issues, plus I just need MORE in almost every aspect. Initially was only considering the scout with some mods because I really don't want a heavier bike, but seriously considering the Chief now.
I have a super chief limited 116, a ‘17 Roadmaster and my betting half has a scout 60. I test road the new Sport Chief at Daytona Bike Week & love it too, except I hate mid controls. I’m 62 with both knees operated on as well as a shoulder after I got hit in ‘15 on my Yamaha 1700. I’m also short at 5’7” but only a 29” inseam and mid controls are a no go for me. But there’s options if anyone wants to change it up.
I’m also 5’7” and have been curious about how the 10” riders feel compared to the stock 6”. My previous bike had mini apes and forward controls, wondering if the 10” risers with stock mid controls will work for me, or if I need forward controls too. Appreciate any advice
I want one of these bikes. I recently had an ankle fusion and think the lighter weight compared to a Harley will be beneficial to me when maneuvering on it.
The Red though. Its become your color somehow. Honestly, it's probably my next bike. Idk when, but everything about it seems awesome. Haven't heard any bad reviews on it.
Honestly, I've been to literally all 3 of the dealerships in my area and no thanks... I've owned a couple Springfields and a scout and while the bikes are fine, the garbage dealer experience ruins it.
Great review, however you failed to mention the difference (if any) you felt with the taller windscreen. I watched this entire video just for that as I have the standard screen and am thinking of getting the taller one.
was always wondering about Indian. only reason i would hesitate is cuz there isnt a dealer close to me in far northern Cali. closest is Sacramento and i dont want to trailer it that far if i have a problem
I’m looking to put an Indian in my stable! :) come ride up in New England/upstate New York for some pretty scenery. I did Austin liked it, road and got lost in the NE loved it. Looking to do the Rockies next. 😁
Great video. This is actually my least favorite Chief based on looks alone. I dislike the quarter fairing and extra height. I have ridden them all. I preferred the Bobber and Super limited the most. But absolutely am going to subscribe and watch more of your videos. Really enjoyed the info you shared and quality.
Awesome glad you enjoyed it and not other brand snop u know😂 glad u experienced different bikes and share ur honesty opinion I have Indian for several y now. now I'm thinking of another thx,,,😂
Hi Jess, You're one busy girl. Pleased to hear that you are thinking of coming to Laconia's 100th in June. Should you need a place to stay, a room or a place to set up your tent (I'm an hour's ride away), or just want to ride some backroads away from the mobs. Please reach out with a reply.
I am 5'9" with a 31" inseam. Are my knees going to be in my chest? I just KNEW I was going to love the Low Rider S until I did a demo ride. The moment I took off and realized where exactly my pegs were, I knew I was going to hate it. Luckily the demo ride only took about 15 minutes, but it was 15 cramped minutes of feeling like my knees were in my chest and just waiting to get back so I could get off of it. For me personally, I've found that everything I dislike about Harleys, Indian does better. Everything I like about Harleys, Indian does better too, but that's just me. I'm hoping for a forward control option or just more comfortable mids.
That was a good video, Jess. I like the Indian. That bike has a lot of power. The only thing I would change would be to put a set of 10-inch mini-apes on it. How is the seat on that bike? Will it require a Saddleman?
Jess was on the bike for 6 hours maybe more and said the seat was so comfortable she could easily keep going. Indian sport chief does have an upgraded comfort seat for 260 dollars I believe.
Polaris Had to do what they did in the 1st Decade where they made the big heavy full fender bikes so people wouldn't say it was a Victory with a Name Change, that had to Sell everyone on the Fact that Indian Was Back........but look at their line up now they barely have a handful of the full fender bikes anymore, Most are more REAL Modern Day Fenders and they are getting a lot of good press from the new models, but they had to start with the nostalgic old look to get the biker community to buy in.
I don’t wanna be the only one who says I’ve been on a Harley Davidson my whole life from my pops n mom sitting in the middle of them raisen up to now 56 years later n still on my Harley Davidson ultra recliner till the day I die

It looks like you were in the Texas hill country which has some terrific roads.
Welcome to Texas hopefully you'll come back in November for the Long Star Rally in Galveston. Awesome time
Welcome to Austin Jess! Great video and I ride those same roads you did since I live just outside of Austin.
I've watched you test ride plenty of bikes, but have never been so motivated to go test ride one as much as this. What a beautiful machine! Also, Sponge Bob at Sandy's house? Love it!
Same. I REALLY want to go demo ride this bike now!
Great video thank you very well done nice bike thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
I’ve been waiting so long for this one! So many giggles, they give you the best bike ranking system ever!
Great review and thanks!
That bike looks great on you! Looks like a fantastic ride! Absolutely beautiful!
How does this compare to the Lowrider S? As soon as I saw this bike, I was like that made their version of The FXLRS. It looks great!
Great looking bike & great video!
That bike is beautiful! Nice review Jess!❤️👍🙏🏻
This bike would be an absolute rocket. Indian has great attention to detail.
Jess *normal mode* yeah this is nice *sport mode* insane giggling!!!! Love it 😂
Jess, the reason why you scrape peg is because you have a mean lean!😊❤😊 keep safe and thank you for such nice videos, you are just so super nice! We love you lots ❤️🥰❤️🥰Happy Trails always ❤

Fun review Jess. Nice work on the video. Ride safe!
You are clearly very good at reviewing motorcycles. Love it! Ride safe and keep that beautiful smile of yours.
Lol shooters gonna shoot
ive seen just about every video made from this press day and youre the first to mention the rear cylinder shut off. So thanks for that
I’m loving all your Indian Motorcycle content ❤
Great review and love your enthusiasm. I'm waiting for the first sport chief to arrive in Australia to look at. I'm currently eyeing on the scout rogue. Cheers from Sydney...
I own a low rider s, 2022 and I've been thinking about test riding one of these...Will have to see for myself!
You look at home on that Indian Jess, nice bike good video loved it!
That's a sweet looking bike. And kudos to Indian for such a complete standard package. Nice video!
You fit that bike more than any other bike I've seen you on. Watch your own video you'll see what I mean.
Ooo mmm geee you’re so right Tom
The Sport Chief nailed the look.
Agree
The shaking windshield would really irritate me! Thanks for your review.
welcome to the Indian world.....i LOVE my bike....yes..it is a Scout...but I LOVE it...and think I might LOVE that Sport Chief someday.
I like this bike, I have ridden the Chieftain and I was impressed!
it's the delighted giggling for me lol. It's time for a new sidepiece and Jess's videos are a major part of my research. I've been on a Honda VTX for almost 10 years.

The rear cylinder shutting of is something Appa will do for you.
Nice bike.
That new Indian looks like a ripper ..👍🏻🇦🇺
Most excellent video Jessica 👍🤙✌️
Nice ! Thanks for sharing looks like a great new bike , like you said lots of tech in a small package , great to see all this new stuff 👍😎
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video jess that's a beautiful bike can't wait for the next one keep em coming
Nice review keep up the good work your favorite color Her Two Wheels

I absolutely love the roads you were riding. While this particular scooter is not my thing, you have shown me SEVERAL I would truly appreciate owning.
I want one of these bikes. I recently had an ankle fusion and think the lighter weight compared to a Harley will be beneficial to me when maneuvering on it.
Fantastic presentation 🎉
Fantastic video!
Nice review you did good
Works for me 👍
I've been so curious to see what you thought of this. Looks like it needs hard bags though.
Soft bags and Indian needs more aftermarket support
you can get the Indian Chief bags as an accessory
Ivey that 116 rips that little frame. Wow😳👍👍😎😎
They are an amazing bike, test rode one a while back, much lighter than my Chieftain!
14:27 - love the display
Love those Indian motorcycles!
They just keep getting better and better 👍
The Red though. Its become your color somehow. Honestly, it's probably my next bike. Idk when, but everything about it seems awesome. Haven't heard any bad reviews on it.

what does the different modes actually do?
Just like on C2W's video of this bike, the wind screen wobbles so much
I like the red on this bike
Inverted front forks from the challenger is the real Game Changer here.
Is the quarter fairing worth adding as far as wind protection / comfort?
Please tell me the road you were on I have to find them.
Great video. This is actually my least favorite Chief based on looks alone. I dislike the quarter fairing and extra height. I have ridden them all. I preferred the Bobber and Super limited the most. But absolutely am going to subscribe and watch more of your videos. Really enjoyed the info you shared and quality.
COOL!
I’m getting this or the rogue
A belated welcome to Texas, Jess. Larry in Fort Worth
Sport Chief does look good!
I wonder if they have highway pegs, I'm 6'2" 34 in. Inseam
Windscreen plastic/acrylic needs to be thicker so it doesn’t vibrate so much.
Awesome glad you enjoyed it and not other brand snop u know😂 glad u experienced different bikes and share ur honesty opinion I have Indian for several y now. now I'm thinking of another thx,,,😂
How does the clutch lever feel?? Is it as hard as a Harley?
I enjoyed the video. I wonder how the ergos compare to the scout rogue.
Night and day difference. The scout rogue physically injured me. This bike was MUCH more comfortable
beautiful bike
Could you set this bike up to carry camping gear? I notice it’s a solo seat.
Time to join the tribe Jess. It fits you well.
Beautiful looking bike but,I definitely wouldn't fit having short arms and a 26" inseam.Priced to high also.
One question. Sport chief or low rider s?
How long before you add one to your stable 😅?
What did you refuse to do on it? Keep it in sport mode?
Nice job
What kind of mix do you use to record while riding?
Light bike?
What the price of one of these?
Have you ridden the Rogue yet?
Yep: ruclips.net/video/y4Z5tbdi0KI/видео.html
nice bike your videos are great
Thanks!
It looks like a really nice decent Bike but... the wobble in the windshield triggers me so hard 😅 Greetings from Germany ✌️
I never noticed it while riding 😂
So what was the “One thing?”
Hi Jess, You're one busy girl. Pleased to hear that you are thinking of coming to Laconia's 100th in June. Should you need a place to stay, a room or a place to set up your tent (I'm an hour's ride away), or just want to ride some backroads away from the mobs. Please reach out with a reply.
YES I AM VERY INTERESTED IN RIDEING MOTORCYCLE 🏍 WITH SOME FRIENDS
That baby ride as good as a good wing not that same by no means 😃
I like the red helmet with any red bike!
I am 5'9" with a 31" inseam. Are my knees going to be in my chest?
I just KNEW I was going to love the Low Rider S until I did a demo ride. The moment I took off and realized where exactly my pegs were, I knew I was going to hate it. Luckily the demo ride only took about 15 minutes, but it was 15 cramped minutes of feeling like my knees were in my chest and just waiting to get back so I could get off of it.

I also just want to say that you have gotten very good at reviews. You have obviously put thought and effort into your craft and I appreciate it.
That was a good video, Jess. I like the Indian. That bike has a lot of power. The only thing I would change would be to put a set of 10-inch mini-apes on it. How is the seat on that bike? Will it require a Saddleman?
Jess was on the bike for 6 hours maybe more and said the seat was so comfortable she could easily keep going. Indian sport chief does have an upgraded comfort seat for 260 dollars I believe.
@@cbrippee, thank you.
I don't like red, but that red is awesome

20$K gets you a road glide standard
Nice bike thou🤘
No it doesn't. HD doesn't sell anything at MSRP.
Do it , get it
