Thank you for this video. I’m looking at trading my FTR on a challenger and saw the new Road Glide and thought that looks nice. But hearing you talk about the suspension, power, braking my mind is made 😂. I am at this where ride quality means more than the brand image. Plus Indian has a badass brand image anyway.
Leaving Harley & going Indian was the best thing I could have ever done! Power/suspension/technology & comfort …. But as I tell everyone,buy what you like!
Listen man this is been the same exact comparison that's been done a thousand times even with the small changes. Listen there is NO COMPARING THE BIKES! Its literally Apples to Oranges...black to white..I won't go into details but here is the bottom line..If you want a better MOTORCYCLE get an INDIAN....if you want better support and to be part of a lifestyle then get the Harley. Lets see..Better bike or more t-shirts to choose from...INDIAN CHALLENGER ALL DAY !
I just came from the Indian dealership today looking to buy a bike. After looking at the Harley and Indian I just had to go with the Harley. Looking at the Indian it just appeared everything looked so cheap and the fit and finish looked poor. I’m sure it’s a good bike but the Harley looked much better. Maybe next bike will be an Indian, but for now Harley takes my money .
Good Morning / Evening , First off I'd like to commend you on making this tutorial on the differences between the Indian Challenger and the New 2024 HD Road Glide . Ok so I've owned 5 HD Street Glides and 5 Big Dogs , so i might have an opinion about a few things. I currently ride a 2016 SG with 20,000 +/- . I love it because I changed out the stereo to and after market ) and the bikes STARTS Every time ! ( Haaaaaa) Can't say that for the 2024 Street Glides or the Road Glides . I went to ride one, one day and it wouldn't start and needed to be flashed not once but 5 times not to mention It broke down on me . UGH ! Every thing that you've spoke about is about spot on with Harley . So for this year they ( Harley) will not be getting any of my pension . Now to the Indian .. love it . Not a fan of it' gremlins either .. the battery going dead , and those mirrors and the God awful prices for their parts ! BUT the Challenger is a by Far Superior bike than Harley . I will get a Challenger in the near future.. I'd like to see some better paint from them but time will tell . ANYWAYS Thank you for doing these videos . Your doing a Great Job and you connect with us out here and speak our lingo ! ~ Bill
Very informative! One quick note, you kept saying “Brem-Bro” brakes instead of “Brem-Bo” brakes. This is a me problem, didn’t take away from the excellent info, but my ADHD made me type this. Downvote me, I deserve it. Thanks for all the time and effort to do this review!
Brembo brakes have different designs, it's not just the brand that matters. Standard HD branded Brembo brakes are not the same as the Challenger and new CVO's radial mounted Brembo brakes. Much different than the standard HD, and other Indian models. Night and day / modern vs outdated.
My two cents on your video, clearly it’s difficult to rate a bike writhing a 10 mile ride. The other thing is that since you have the Indian you relate everything to that. The controls are fine once you ride enough. The inner fairing is fine not cheap at all
Great video, thank you for sharing! Going to be switching from SG to Challenger.
Nice!!! I think you'll be happy thanks for watching!

Amen sir!
My 2018 chieftain rides so much nicer than my 2021 roadking. Short trips for my king, but sturgis this year will be on the chieftain.
Nice thanks for watching

Definitely merit to this comment thanks for watching
Nice video i have a road glide litimed & it is cramped probably going to buy a challenger to go with the harley. Think I am done with Harley Thx
@@georgekw40 thanks for watching!
Wish Harley would put in a Matte paint option. That's what I do like about the Indians. Love that Matte finish look much better than the glossy paint.
See and I'm the opposite I prefer the glossy the matte was too much of a pain in the ass
Harley can thank Indian for forcing them to make a better motorcycle.
Not better engineered than Indian, just a better Harley.
@@michaelschmitzerle2587 agreed
I think it was a second thought looks goofy with the box that holds rear lights. Could have made it more fluid with rear of bike like previous models.
Don't disagree
At 62 i will keep my Twin Cam with all my aftermarket upgrades and leave those new HD's and Indian's for you Young Guys....
Thanks for watching

I think the Harley looks great just like the Indians overall package compared to Harley's. Just my 2¢ congrats on the bike! Thanks for watching!

@@johnkirchner8756 no I talk weird sometimes even though I know that's how it's supposed to be pronounced I still mess it up lol thanks for watching
The Harley is a very good machine. It’s a hard decision for anyone buying now. Harley is stepping it up, Indian needs to as well.
I'm sure they'll have an answer soon thanks for watching
Really liked the video. Maybe in the future you can get a camera on the bike and do a video while on the bike???
Yeah I'd like to start doing that this wasn't gonna happen that day but I'm going to strive for more of that in the future thanks for watching

I probably should have explained that more thoroughly in the review thanks for watching

Brem *bo. Brembo bakes. 😊
Different strokes for different folks. Have bought 6 new harleys over 20 yrs know there ways. Be nice to buy a bike & just go without the hoop la.
Nothing against guys who buy Harley's just wasn't for me
