    This is by far the best Indian review I have seen .
    Your honest review has made me consider one of these as a possible upgrade from a street / road glide .
    When I purchased my harley I realised that you get WAY more value from an Indian over a harley.
    I just do not like the exhaust note , or the engine look of the Indian.
    I do like the faring though , it is much better looking than a road glide fairing .
    I believe overall the Indian is a more superior bike over harley .
    BUT , there will be more aftermarket support for a harley ( certainly not from the motor company ).

      It's a bloody great bike that's for sure, had so much fun on it haha.
      I do think the indian could be abit cheaper as the finish (in my opinion) isn't as nice but they both definitely have there positives and negatives.
      It's a hard choice I'm struggling to decide which one I'd buy over the other haha.

    I can't stop smiling - what a great review and what a bike!! Holy cow. I actually LOVE the looks of this bike and I'm a BIG Harley fan. I love the whole looks of it!! Seriously!! Everything you mentioned as a negative I'm just like "Oh well, I LOVE IT!!" Now I just need to find some money.
    I'm so pleased to see this cuz I didn't know Indian was this good!!! WOW! Well done mate.

    Ive owned a few Harleys. If I'm ever in a position again to buy a bike, it's going to be an Indian motorcycle. Torn between the chieftan and Springfield with the old school front fender. Not to mention that Indian bikes come stock with led lights. Harley is catching up from what I heard. Stock seats are way more comfortable on the Indian bikes. Last harley i owned was an 18 street glide. The first time i did 80 miles in a day on that bike, i ordered a new seat. It was like sitting on a board after those miles. I did 110 miles on an indian sprinfield in a day, and couldve kept going. Was so comfortable.

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  19 дней назад +1

      Bloody great bike that's for sure !
      They do look cool and have that classic look. Harley just need a few more cool bits and pieces and they will be far ahead, especially with the finish of the harleys. That's a good point, it seeks everyone changes there seat as soon as they buy a new bike but I haven't seem to mind either indian or harley seatsthats interesting thanks for the feedback & thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

    Another really good review.
    I think the Indian looks good. Im with you on the motor finish. It does look plastic and like a toy, but, other than that, it does look good.
    And, this being your channel, and a motorcycle channel, i think reviewing other bike models/brands can only be a benefit to you and your subscription numbers. You're a bike lover and have ridden different bikes before your Harley, so, it makes sense, and you have a good base for reviewing other styles and classes.
    Also, you reviewing, say, sport bikes, will bring in those viewers, and in turn, may turn them on to other bikes, like Harley and Indian , and vice versa, so added growth to the channel, and maybe more people experiencing different riding.
    Have a good weekend, and stay safe

    Good stuff bro, Harleys are always gunna be most cruiser "brotharrs" top pick even if they wont admit it publicly. Ive always wanted one just a bit to costly for my budget. Plus I love to flog the absolute buggery out of my bikes so buy price and replacing/repairing broken bits on a harley or an Indian has held it off for now. Cool to see ya reviewing and riding something different for the channel opens up a heap of different opportunity's. love to see your review on someone's custom built harley in a vid .

I liked the wind screen being able to go up and down to your likeness. Perhaps you might like the Indian better if it had an exhaust system on it. I really enjoyed your vlog on the Indian! Good job!

I really think you would like the springfield darkhorse look and feel. I have the 2021 model and havnt changed them much if any up to the 2024 modle. The handling and power on my bike is incredible.other than aftermarket pipes there's no need for accessories. I love it.

    Nice review! Totally agree on feeling cheaper. Own a 2024 rg and just test drove one of these this past weekend. I would own one as a second bike for sure but I feel the 30k plus is a bit steep for this bike. Not really into fit and finish and matte paint on dark horse. This should be a 25 k bike. I felt like I was on a sport bike with bags. Also the bars are way to low on this cruiser. This is also a liquid cooled motor but it does run hot and you feel it. It runs at 200 deg when its hot outside over 85 deg. I was hoping it would run cooler for sure. With the stock low bars Its tough to have balance and control when just moving it around by foot. Also scares me of all the issues im reading about and the warranty expiring. Ive owned 17 harleys and out of those 9 baggers and not one service issue since 1993. Im staying Harley. JMO

Haha it did handle great didn't it mate. I didn't notice the heat too much although I did stop or slow down too often 🤣🤣 I did see some stuff about that.

    The Indian, stock for stock, is faster, it handles better, you get a LOT more for the money for sure.....but in the end, the fit and finish on the HD is above the Indian in a big way. The Indian has a LOT of plastic on it that simply looks like they cut corners on, where it looks cheap...where on the HD, even the plastic is usually all painted and looks "higher end" than the Indian. Even the screen and dash on the Indian looks lower grade than the HD. Economically, Mechanically and Performance wise, the Indian smashes the HD, however Quality, fit and finish the HD is quite a way ahead of the Indian. Its all about what is important to teh individual. The Indians have definitely come a long way to bridging the gap to the Harley though...without a doubt.

    Hey bro,
    You looked like a fish out of water on that thing.
    Regardless of what anyone says, each to their own opinion - but if you want a Cruiser Harley is the way to go, they are alot more than just a bike, they're a lifestyle...
    Indians are great for the Peugeot and Citroen drivers of the world.
    I wouldn't be seen dead on one mate. Nothing compares to a Hog. Looks, sound, feel,lifestyle, parts, mods, and the list goes on and on.

    I think that if you are going to compare to the Road Glide...a better comparison would be the Chieftan since they are both air cooled. The looks of the engine change and Challenger has an engine more like the Pan America and Sportster S.

    • @Gnarly_Harley
      @Gnarly_Harley  Месяц назад

      Yeah I do understand that but motor wise. The chieftan is the street glide equivalent is that correct ? The main reason I chose this was because it's still around the same price range (cheaper) and it looks like the road glide. Even though it's water cooled I think it's Indians version. But I do see where you're coming from I'll have to see if I can review a chieftan too mate !
      I agree, looks exactly like it. Lego engine 😅 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤

  • @chriskosma33

    Nice review, I totally agree in case of the difference between road glide and challenger.
    My opinion:
    Road Glide:
    - like the design of the bike more
    - overall the more modern bike
    - better quality
    - value retention
    - love the brand
    Challenger:
    - more power
    - more sporty feel
    - windshield
    - locking system
    - like the brand too

    The reason why we like Harley’s is they are classic the engines are perfected and you can customize to suit it’s just a bit sad that they have copied Indian thinking it’s gunna produce sales when it’s clear the Indian looks like shit and it’s far better to have the original road glide design that will be the downfall of the company unless a new generation of riders come through and I highly doubt that all you will have is Tom hardy bike riders I no you all wanna integrate into the future but it’s not really working out for yas 🤣

    One of the bad things about Indian motorcycles is you’re limited to customising it because there’s not too many aftermarket businesses that make parts for them like they do with Harley. The other issue with that and particular model is you can’t put bar and risers because the way the fairing is so you’re limited on what bars you want to put on there and could only go with one style. I would say Indian our bikes off the showroom floor and if you don’t plan on wanting to customise it too much, but if you want to buy a bike, you could make your own and do a lot of customising too then it’s better to go with Harley. The only shitty thing about Harley is the CEO and all the woke bullshit that there are part of now supporting all those child grooming alphabet people pushing an agenda ruining the American brand and pissing off all their customers who’ve been supporting them for many years.
