I am 75yrs old and I couldn't handle my Harley anymore so I sold it when I was 72yrs old and I thought I would never ride again. But then one day I saw a video on youtube about Indian motorcycles and I saw the Scout 60 2021 yr model, my heart took a back flip, and the next day I told my wife that I wanted to check it out, so we went to the dealership I sat on it December 2021 and I bought it and I have never been happier, with all the Bikes that I have owned in my lifetime. Indians rock and I am still wearing out the rubber on the tires. So Thank you Indian Motorcycle for having a Motorcycle that older riders can still manage. PS congratulations on your new Bike and Many Blessings and Happy Trails.
That is awesome!!! You sir are what riding is all about, glad you’re back on 2’s. The scout 60 is a beautiful bike. I have a couple friends that have them and they rant and rave on how that’s the best motorcycle they’ve ever owned.
@@nick_mophotos be safe and always respect your motorcycle and you will make it to my age! and you will have wonderful memories to share with your family and friends 👍🏻🙏🏍️🛵🏍️🛵🏍️👌🙏
That’s great! I’m 47 and hadn’t ridden in years. Been wanting an American cruiser since I was 17. My wife kind of said the same thing, go look at your bike and stop talking about, just do it. I bought a scout rogue 60 last month and just love it. So far it has been the funnest bike to ride and I don’t have all the desert toys and campers like my friends and neighbors, but I have an Indian and love it! Congratulations to you on your 60
Been riding Japanese cruisers since 1981. Thought about buying and looked an many HDs over years. But could never get over handle bars that shake like a major earthquake hit, and I'm not really into the whole Harley "culture". Purchased my Indian Super Chief Limited with stage 2 performance upgrade and Lloydz tune a month ago. I am fully a member of the tribe. Best bike I've ever owned or ridden. Enjoy, ride safe.
A million miles warranty?! Just wow! I ride a 2020 Roadmaster. 56,000 trouble free miles. Couldn't be happier . Mine is warrantied until 2027! But it was a $2,000 option (well worth it). Power windshield is a big deal. Live traffic and weather pretty awesome. The main reason for me, I just wanted something different. You can't sling a dead cat around here without hitting someone on a black streetglide 😂
That’s awesome 56k in 2 years!!! I agree that riding an Indian shines the light on a couple of things, and one of them is the uniqueness of the bike. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment.
After 35 years of hard work, finally I bought mine last week and it stills park in my garage because I am just beginning to take basic classes...🤣🤣🤣... my wife wants to kill me... but I don't care...I love it and now I am the happiest Veteran and Teacher with his new Indian Springfield in America... 👍😉
Congratulations!!! There’s nothing like the freedom of being on two’s. The Springfield is an awesome bike, congrats again and thanks for checking out my video.
I have 5000 miles on my roadmaster. I love it. I've owned a road king and vtx. You missed the mono-shock. Making it a phenomenally better ride. The bad: try getting warranty work done before praising it. No dealers in Montana or Wyoming. Two of the best ride states. Very hot under my left thigh.
I am riding my second Indian. I purchased a 2014 Chieftain, new. I put 52,000 miles on and it was bullet proof. Thought I would ride it till I was put in the ground. Rode a Challenger and now I have a 2022 Limited. So far in 11,000 miles it has not disappointed. Wow!!
I had been riding a Metric bagger for the last 15 years, always hoping to move up to an American dresser to make my wife more comfortable on the back. This past August I was able to purchase a used Roadmaster, and man, I wish I would have made the purchase sooner!!! I love the Roadmaster; it is so comfortable, so stable and yet a beast when you turn the throttle...it is an absolute pleasure to ride. I had looked at HDs, but the Indian just won my heart and it's not like what everyone else rides. She's unique, and so much more than I could have expected.
Love that, I’ve got 21k miles and she’s still handling like I just rolled it off the showroom. And all the comforts of the bike make it the ultimate riding machine! Safe travels my friend. Thanks for checking out the video!
Congrats on your new bike! I just today picked up my 23 Challenger Dark Horse from iMotorsports do St. Pete. Traded in my 21 Chieftain Limited. Everybody I interacted with was incredibly awesome. Both Sales and Parts (bought a crap-ton of upgrades/add-ons). Kalvin, James, Alex, and Justin were just amazing to work with. No pressuring to close. Sincerely did everything they could to make me happy. About a year ago I walked away from the dealership because they didn’t have inventory and it was going to take 4-6 months to get what I wanted. I truly regret going elsewhere because of my damn impatience. I’m certainly happy now! Anyway, congrats again on your new bike. It’s a sweet one to be sure. Gonna check out the local IMRG that meets there. Such a great community. Ride safe.
Congrats on the new challenger🎉 I’ve bought a lot of vehicles in my life and dealing with pushy salesmen, arguing for the deal that was agreed upon, simply put a headache. HOWEVER, buying a bike from Imotorsports st. Pete was the smoothest, stress free and pressure free purchasing experience I’ve ever had. They have my business for life!!
I just stumbled upon your channel. Great video! I purchased my very first bike last year in Aug from Imotorsports in Chicago. I bought a 2022 Indian Scout bobber and couldn't be happier!
Back in 2020 (Covid time) I bought my 2020 Roadmaster from Route 66 (iMotorsports) in Chicago. Their salesmen aren't on a commission, so you aren't "taking food out of their mouths" by getting a GOOD deal. My wife wanted a FULL remodel of our kitchen, so my oldest and I took it down to the studs and rebuilt it (took almost a full year, with me only working on it on weekends). When we were nearing the end, she said to me, "Since you're giving me my Dream Kitchen, you can get your Dream Motorcycle." I hadn't been on a bike since we started having kids - I had a VERY close encounter, and wanted to make sure I was around to raise my boys. I figured she'd balk at the prices. I would have been contented on a Springfield, but at $20K I thought she'd freak, so when we went to the dealership, and she asked what I was thinking, I pointed at the "Big Dog" - she checked the price (a bit over $30K), and before I countered that I'd "settle" for the Springfield, she told me to "Go Ahead - I said your Dream Bike". Since the salesmen aren't on commission, we kept going back and forth for 5 HOURS (1/2 hour after their "official" closing time). He'd think of another "perk" to tell his manager I wanted. The 1,000,000 mile warranty covers: Engine, Transmission & Wheel Bearings, I believe. I also got 10% off parts and accessories for life. Lifetime battery replacement. Wheel replacement if one gets bent. 8 oil changes. The lifetime Ceramic coating (the bugs DON'T stick). And plenty more I can't even remember off the top of my head. The MSRP was $31,750 - I got it Out The Door (with all of these "extras"), along with Tax, title, dealer-prep - EVERYTHING for $32,800. At the end, the salesman said I could pick it up on Wednesday - My wife said, "NO! He's riding it home TODAY!". Since the Ceramic coating takes a day to dry, on my 500 mile service, I received a free detail, before the coating could be applied.
I love all motorcycles i had the chance to ride an indian challenger two years ago it was a cool ride love it, i was on the market to purchase a new motorcycle last summer coming of a Kawasaki Concours it was time for me to have a cruiser tought about the indian maybe a Harley then i stuble in a dealership on a Triumph Rocket 3 GT, and man their she was in all her glory 2500cc or in Harley number around 153 ci 163 ft of torque 167 hp for 20k , so there i was a pround owner of a T riumph for the first time in my 40 years of riding motorcycle. Ride safe man
Mineola Moto in New York gave me the million mile warranty on my Victory Highball when I bought it in 2017. I believe they still do the warranty for their new Indian bikes as well
@@nick_mophotos thx you , one thing I’ve learned to appreciate about our community is we all work together for a common goal , if I can help you in anyway please let me know … other combat vets helped me when I first started YT isn’t as easy as just picking up the camera … titles thumbnails etc are so crucial to reach the audience
I am very impressed with Indian line up. Indian really stepped up and listen to the riders and made some sexy, good quality, well designed machine. However, the only 2 reasons I was turned off by, and after walking into a showroom with my checkbook, was A) No reverse, B) No center stand. How could they? Such a heavy bike!!!! Are they for real? And I am 6'4", large inseam guy. Could you imagine a shorter rider on an incline? They lost me, sadly. I went with the new Goldwing Tour. I have forward and reverse electric motor. Amazing machine. If Indian will listen to Honda, I will get one.
I have a couple of friends that have Goldwings and they swear by them. The new Tour is an amazing bike, did you go with the manual or automatic version?
@@nick_mophotos Honestly, was a debate for me, after 35 years of riding a clutch, I went with the DCT. I swear, no regrets !!!!! This thing is magical, the Dual Clutch. Not only its the smoothest shifting ever, the computer learns your riding habits and adopts to you only. I was never into the HD looking type of bikes, but the latest Indian models, really got in to me. Will see how Indian will approach newer models. For now, I don't see anything that will make me sell mine. Enjoy your beauty.
I own a Roadmaster 2018 when my wife and I were looking we tried every brand and when it came to the Roadmaster she said buy this bike or I’m gone. Twisted my arm for a in the crate bike vs a show room bike we have loved it ever since.
Great video Mo...here's my reasons to buy a K1600B...1. Cost - $30k vs $40 for Indian or $50 for CVO 2. Power...nobody even comes close. 3. Weight...K is 200 pounds lighter. 4. Reverse gear - what...a reverse? 5. Adaptive and rider selective suspension and throttle/power control. 6. 10.25 inch display...tells you everything about the bike including oil level. 7. Center stand 8. One hole vs 3 hole (HD)...not sure how many holes the Indian has...but one hole, one oil. 9. Greater value... 10. Made in Germany...we all know about German made vehicle/motorcycles. Still a good video though...ride safe. Oh, your helmet - made in Italy I bet...just saying.
I believe in time they will, when Polaris relaunched the brand they did it right. Honestly in my opinion it's a superior machine, and people need to see it for themselves. With Harley Davidson launching their new lineup it's giving them a run for there money for sure. Thanks for checking out the video.
My dad retires this Dec idk if ill be able too pull it off or not but i wanna try and surprise him and get him the challenger elite or whatever its called.. ive always had this in mind too do this for my dad one day i hope i can do it soon. I dont know shit about engines or motorcycle or all ive never riden one in my life but this isnt about me its bigger then me its about my Dad being happy and enjoying retirement and cruising... Since i dont have anything too trade in i have too come all out of pocket so i would like too keep the payments under 250-300$ a month. Also i live in Atlanta Ga.. i dont even know how too negotiate for a bike because i dont know what a fair price for one should be selling for. Anyways ill keep you updated in the future when i do finally get my dad the bike and give you his feedback..
That’s awesome!!! Honestly just a little research on dealerships because they all offer something different. Imotorsports of St. Petersburg FL are consummate professionals. I had a buddy who knew exactly what he wanted and the sales team delivered on his schedule. Give them a shout, they deliver all over the country to your door.
@Nick_MoPhotos ohh they will deliver it too me nice.. so i can do this deal all over the phone maybe on facetime or something probably id imagine 🤔 that would be nice too not have too go too Florida i think they probably have one in Georgia somewhere i know they have a harley dealership.. Yeah i cant wait till this day is a reality.. id have too ship the bike too California to get it too my dad though .
The Challenger is an amazing machine. The best detail I like about that bike is the entire motor is water cooled, not just the heads like on some bikes.
Lot's of BS here. No one who spends $750 on accessories for a new M/C is interested in saving money. Nor does a "turnkey" bagger need accessory pegs or bars, particularly Indians which come with premium equipment and near ideal ergonomics. That's a carryover of his Harley mentality. Overall he made a good choice, as long as nothing breaks. Indian repair shops are hard to find.
Indian Motorcycles have changed the game in design and overall reliability. I also love the look of the challenger, it’s a mean looking bike. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment!
@@nick_mophotos the designs of their larger bikes I find very appealing, the scount has a weird exhaust and styling to me, but I think the same for the futuristic design of the new sporty too. I’m still a bit on the soft spot for my 90s fxd. Looking heavily at the challenger though not going to lie. Gunna watch more.
Nice video! I looked at Indians for quite awhile at the Indian dealer here in Nashville and not a single sales guy came over to answer questions or see if I wanted a test ride. And, they weren't even busy that day! Long story short- afterwards, I stopped in the Harley Dealers and within an hour plopped down $$$ for a new Street Glide Special. I figure, If it's that hard to buy an Indian, imagine how hard it will be to get service and parts. Polaris are you listening??
That sucks your weren’t able to test ride one, but you’re on two’s. The street glide is an excellent bike!!!! Congrats on the bike and thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it.
YOU said: " They made you an offer I couldn't refuse". To me that implies they were willing to Negotiate PRICE. I do Not understand. When I went to my local Indian dealer, they were fixed on the price with no willingness to negotiate. Additionally they had attached an extra $900.oo Surcharge. So I shopped for a used Indian Vintage, 2014, at less than 1/2 the price of a new bike. True it was during the 'pandemic' and everybody talked about the supply chain problems. But still to be 'hard-lined' about price, I never pay list price, though I know plenty of folks will just give in and pay whatever a dealer is asking. I suppose that's business one might say. Again that's not me.
That sucks, Where the deal was sweeter for me was my trade and all the dealer incentives. $750 in upgrades (whatever I wanted) I went with bars and pegs. I got more for my trade than Any dealer around here would give and the experience. I’ve been to dealerships where they didn’t budge, and just like you they didn’t get my business. When the stars align that’s when the deal will be done.
@@twincam9082 I'm sure you're right about fine print, like make sure you keep records of all your maintenance records, oil changes and anything else. And it's only Power train. I'm also sure that it wouldn't be transferable. So I'm sure they're counting on the owner to get tired of the bike after 10, 20 thousand miles later. But it could be a great deal if you never sell it. I'm on my fifth new Indian so the million mile warranty wouldn't do me much good. But I did get the three year warranty as a Hero(retired). Better than nothing.
This was more of a review, however last weeks video shows some shots of my Harley and how I got them. Releasing a new video today that covers capturing and editing. It launches at 9am EST
Motor, transmission and electronics. Doesn’t cover wearable items like brakes and tires. It’s specific to the dealership I bought it from. imotorsports
Easy to buy one Try and sell/trade one ! lol. Indian, gonna have to get WAY better (at everything), before they get in the same room as HD. I think harley is WAY worse than ever before! But this isn't the answer 😕
I see what your saying, I’m a motorcycle enthusiast and I appreciate what Indian is doing in the motorsports space. I agree Harley Davidson has cornered the market as a iconic figure in the community.
I am 75yrs old and I couldn't handle my Harley anymore so I sold it when I was 72yrs old and I thought I would never ride again. But then one day I saw a video on youtube about Indian motorcycles and I saw the Scout 60 2021 yr model, my heart took a back flip, and the next day I told my wife that I wanted to check it out, so we went to the dealership I sat on it December 2021 and I bought it and I have never been happier, with all the Bikes that I have owned in my lifetime.

Since i dont have anything too trade in i have too come all out of pocket so i would like too keep the payments under 250-300$ a month. Also i live in Atlanta Ga.. i dont even know how too negotiate for a bike because i dont know what a fair price for one should be selling for.
Anyways ill keep you updated in the future when i do finally get my dad the bike and give you his feedback..
That’s awesome!!! Honestly just a little research on dealerships because they all offer something different. Imotorsports of St. Petersburg FL are consummate professionals. I had a buddy who knew exactly what he wanted and the sales team delivered on his schedule. Give them a shout, they deliver all over the country to your door.
@Nick_MoPhotos ohh they will deliver it too me nice.. so i can do this deal all over the phone maybe on facetime or something probably id imagine 🤔 that would be nice too not have too go too Florida i think they probably have one in Georgia somewhere i know they have a harley dealership..
Yeah i cant wait till this day is a reality.. id have too ship the bike too California to get it too my dad though
.
I want something like this bike to be my final form. Im still learning on dirtbike but eventually
Whats ur opinion on the throttle response? Its atrocious for slow speeds imo, and I just bought a chieftain.
It takes some getting used to, however when I’m in Sport Mode I can’t even notice it. Congrats on the bike.
Indian is doing a great job... :-)
Agree 100% amazing machines
Nice ride, hope you love her!
I definitely do, she’s the best bike I’ve owned and just turned 18,300 miles today.
I think I am now in the market to trade in my 2020 RG for my original choice, the Challenger.
The Challenger is an amazing machine. The best detail I like about that bike is the entire motor is water cooled, not just the heads like on some bikes.
Lot's of BS here. No one who spends $750 on accessories for a new M/C is interested in saving money. Nor does a "turnkey" bagger need accessory pegs or bars, particularly Indians which come with premium equipment and near ideal ergonomics. That's a carryover of his Harley mentality.
Overall he made a good choice, as long as nothing breaks. Indian repair shops are hard to find.
Thanks for checking out the video, appreciate your comments. This Roadmaster is perfect for crushing miles.
I would like to see a comparison between a Roadmaster and a chieftain. Thank you
We’ll definitely do a comparison video here in the next couple of weeks
My stunning 2019 Indian Springfield in steel gray and metallic burgundy, and I, concur. Go Indian, Cruiser Heaven, all day, every day!
That’s a beautiful color way!!!!
amazing
Please post the florida dealership information, thanks in advance.

Love my chieftain limeted 21000 miles on it runs good as new .
The limited are beautiful bikes
Honestly I only like the look of the challenger. But the specs are impressive, plus it’s almost literally half the price of the equivalent Harley.
Indian Motorcycles have changed the game in design and overall reliability. I also love the look of the challenger, it’s a mean looking bike. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment!
@@nick_mophotos the designs of their larger bikes I find very appealing, the scount has a weird exhaust and styling to me, but I think the same for the futuristic design of the new sporty too. I’m still a bit on the soft spot for my 90s fxd. Looking heavily at the challenger though not going to lie. Gunna watch more.
Nice video! I looked at Indians for quite awhile at the Indian dealer here in Nashville and not a single sales guy came over to answer questions or see if I wanted a test ride. And, they weren't even busy that day! Long story short- afterwards, I stopped in the Harley Dealers and within an hour plopped down $$$ for a new Street Glide Special. I figure, If it's that hard to buy an Indian, imagine how hard it will be to get service and parts. Polaris are you listening??
That sucks your weren’t able to test ride one, but you’re on two’s. The street glide is an excellent bike!!!! Congrats on the bike and thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it.
YOU said: " They made you an offer I couldn't refuse". To me that implies they were willing to Negotiate PRICE. I do Not understand. When I went to my local Indian dealer, they were fixed on the price with no willingness to negotiate. Additionally they had attached an extra $900.oo Surcharge. So I shopped for a used Indian Vintage, 2014, at less than 1/2 the price of a new bike. True it was during the 'pandemic' and everybody talked about the supply chain problems. But still to be 'hard-lined' about price, I never pay list price, though I know plenty of folks will just give in and pay whatever a dealer is asking. I suppose that's business one might say. Again that's not me.
That sucks, Where the deal was sweeter for me was my trade and all the dealer incentives. $750 in upgrades (whatever I wanted) I went with bars and pegs. I got more for my trade than Any dealer around here would give and the experience. I’ve been to dealerships where they didn’t budge, and just like you they didn’t get my business. When the stars align that’s when the deal will be done.
💨💨💨🏁 let's go team Indian
All day 🔥👍
100% an investment, but the resale value of an HD compared to an Indian is terrible. Just from what I've seen in the used bike market.
The market is so volatile and has been for a while. But yes definitely an investment
Its actually just a mil powertrain warranty. Doubt it will be useful in the future.
I plan on owning this bike for a long time. I’m sure I’ll get some use out of it.
@@nick_mophotos there’s a lot of fine print to it. I hope you don’t have to use it but if you do, I hope they don’t give you the runaround.
@@twincam9082 I'm sure you're right about fine print, like make sure you keep records of all your maintenance records, oil changes and anything else. And it's only Power train. I'm also sure that it wouldn't be transferable. So I'm sure they're counting on the owner to get tired of the bike after 10, 20 thousand miles later. But it could be a great deal if you never sell it. I'm on my fifth new Indian so the million mile warranty wouldn't do me much good. But I did get the three year warranty as a Hero(retired). Better than nothing.
Good 🎥
Thanks
I want a dark horse so bad !!!!!
This is a beast of a bike, I love mine. Have you test ridden one yet?
Damn, I wanna see Harley beat that. Lol
One of the many reasons why I went with Indian
Moto photo but no photo!?
This was more of a review, however last weeks video shows some shots of my Harley and how I got them. Releasing a new video today that covers capturing and editing. It launches at 9am EST
Did I hear you correctly?
Million mile warranty?
So anything that breaks on its own on an Indian they replace? For free?
No way. Hard to believe
Motor, transmission and electronics. Doesn’t cover wearable items like brakes and tires. It’s specific to the dealership I bought it from. imotorsports
@@nick_mophotos wow!!!! Freaking awesome.
Reasons 1-10
It’s not a
Hardly Movinson
In short…yes!!! Don’t get me wrong I still like Harleys but… I LOVE MY INDIAN ROADMASTER!
You just need one reason and that being it's a better bike all around
It’s a Polaris. I own the Polaris Challenger.
That’s a beautiful bike, nimble and fast!
Hey a CVMA brother lol
20-17 Tampa FL
@@nick_mophotos 23-24 Longview, TX
Easy to buy one
Try and sell/trade one ! lol.
Indian, gonna have to get WAY better (at everything), before they get in the same room as HD.
I think harley is WAY worse than ever before! But this isn't the answer 😕
I see what your saying, I’m a motorcycle enthusiast and I appreciate what Indian is doing in the motorsports space. I agree Harley Davidson has cornered the market as a iconic figure in the community.
How about one reason not to buy an indain motorcycle... they went woke!!!!
