Nice review. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to get my '21 Challenger DH delivered. Oh, in case you didn't know you could have shut the vents in the fairing and sealed off the airflow behind the front. ;)
Kool aid, I was once there too. Here’s the truth, once you dont give a fuck what HD folks think you’ll do the same. Hell, I ride in a club full of HDs only and everyone is tripping over the ride of this beast. Several have already said that they’re making the change
Considering when you look at a comparable New road glide this bike has better brakes better suspension better power has a powered windshield and all LED lighting
Don't tell that to Harley riders. They'll just start trash talking how "bad indian motorcycles are," all while they're sitting their trying to stop their oil leak😂
Just put down a deposit for a 6-week delivery of Dark Smoke Black. Added the highway bars and lower fairings for rain and cold. Went to Sturgis this year w/o a bike. big mistake :-)
I just rode one on demo days. I thought it was smooth but thought it would be faster based on all the rave reviews.I have an ultra limited stage 2. It did not feel any faster to me. I also rode the new roadmaster limited. I liked it better handled easily , liked the cooled seat feature. Both bikes badly needed a tune. No matter what "mode". Liked the clutch and chassis. The audio on my 2017 HD was better than both these bikes. Like the HD engine better.The indian roadmaster felt tiny compared to the ultra. That was ok as I'm short. Suspension I'll give to indian. The screen on the roadmaster was rattling around on the ride? Just differ I guess. Fun bikes for sure
@@CassidyCarson Already have friends that have done just that. They rode their Harley to test ride the Indian and in their own words they said the Challenger was a better performer.
We get it…. Your bike is the biggest fastest loudest bike in the world! And Harley can’t be beat,…. But here in reality, we realize that flannel the challenger beats Harley in, absolutely every category, except for fit and finish.
After. Without the upgrade it’s honestly about even, which is insane because this bike is like 150lbs heavier! With the taller shocks though, I can corner a bit better on mine. It also may just be because I’m way more used to it 🤷🏼♂️😂
Carson , are you a long time owner of Harley's? BTW, my 1982 Suzuki Katana had a powered windshield, as does my 2000 BMW K1200LT. Shows how low tech the Harley's are! Slow too!
While I agree with you that the tech aspects of most Harleys could be updated (I think they’re coming around now), I also think that they’re supposed to me more “classic” styled analog bikes. A lot of people want those old school vibes. And slow is a matter of perspective. Most Harleys aren’t made to go super fast from the factory, their made to be cruisers with low end torque. That being said, my Harley still keeps up just fine with mid tier sport bikes, and I’m sure as hell a lot more comfortable on long rides 😉.
@@rodfriesen245 hey Rod... hope all is going well... i had a 2016 Ultra Limited low.. wirh that bike the outside edges of the boards got ground to the poinr the actual mounting points got ground too.. i did drop the bike a few times practicing slow speed skills..the pipes.. bags.. never reall hit the ground... that bike did have rear bag guards on it.. courious as what pipes you have.. the Ultra had CFR's pipes.... my 2020 SGS has Rienharts... not sure what model of Rienhart and i have had them just barely drag... Michigan here.. just thought i would ask... you have a great day... Ride safe..
Why do Harley owners test drive the Indian and realize how perfect the bike is but still hang on to the Harley culture. I get it you can love your choice but if a machine stands out and above then just say it. People like Chevys but everyone knows that a Mercedes is in a different class.
That’s a good point! But there are a lot of reasons to like a Chevy vs a Mercedes. While I’m not saying it’s the same comparison, they are different machines. One may perform better, but you might want the Chevy for its reliability or ease of maintenance, or maybe you need a truck for its utility. The best way I could put it would be to say that riding a Harley and riding an Indian are two different experiences. I absolutely love the challenger don’t get me wrong, but there’s something about riding my Low Rider that just speaks to my soul. That being said, I don’t discriminate and whatever you’re on just enjoy the ride! I might end up getting a challenger when it’s time to add a bigger bike, I might also get a road glide 🤷🏼♂️. Like I said, I like both for different reasons but as far as I’m concerned as long as you’re on two wheels I’m still gonna give you a wave as we ride past each other ✌🏻 (Unless maybe you’re on a moped 😂)
My BMW from 2000 had the adjustable windscreen. Was happy to see it on the Challenger when I purchased it.

Button controlled Electric windscreens.
I have it on my 2018!Bmw K1600 GTL
German high-tech!
There’s nothing wrong w Indians and Harleys though!!!
Have it on my _2005_ BMW K1200LT
Someone who demos the radio with copyright free music… About time someone figured that out. Thanks, subbed🤙
Thanks my man! Appreciate that. I deal with it for work all the time so I’m just hoping ya’ll don’t think it’s my usual taste in music 😂
I test drove one not to long ago. Holy cow, I’m in love🥰. I either want the Matt-Black, or the brown one 🤔. Either way both colors are dope.
Absolutely! The white isn’t bad either but the bronze and especially the black...😍
Fun bikes for sure!! Im hooked!! Thanks for the ride!!! 👏👏🏍
THE Indian challenger IS THE KING OF THE BAGGERS 2 YEAR RUNNING 2020&2021
The official H🏳️🌈D killer
Love from Mississippi
Have to agree. This is the first bagger I’ve ever considered. I want one.
Now in 2022!
Well yeah cuz you never raced a vrod destroyer. Good luck catching up with the destroyer.
Thanks for the review,
What was the opening music at start of video? I like it!
when you finally get the perfect windshield for your HD it's fine I looked at the challengers still the RG for me don't know why for sure
Was probably scared of the Indians power LOL

Indian has had the power windshield since at least 2017 models.
Considering when you look at a comparable New road glide this bike has better brakes better suspension better power has a powered windshield and all LED lighting

Congrats on the new wheels! Maybe next year we'll see you riding around out there! 😊👍🏻
I bought that exact model month ago !!

Yeah I want to do a direct comparison video on a road glide for sure! 👍🏻

Damn...way different experience than me or people have had. Polar opposite from urs.

Man that's some beautiful scenery to ride thru!
Reliable? Is the seat comfortable on long term rides?
You mentioned you like your low rider handling better than this, is this before or after suspension upgrade?
After. Without the upgrade it’s honestly about even, which is insane because this bike is like 150lbs heavier! With the taller shocks though, I can corner a bit better on mine. It also may just be because I’m way more used to it 🤷🏼♂️😂

Great share Fam. 🤙🏾🔥
Bmw, honda both have the adjustable windshield that I know of
great quality! youve got a sub from me 👍
Thanks so much! That means a lot! 🤙🏻
If you're not grinding floorboards..... your not carving....
My pipes drag before my boards.

@@randykling2889 - TAB Performance. Both tips have scraped, my boards have not. It's strange, I know.
Yes

Harley guys amazed at the electric screen have never seen a BMW?
😂😂 I don’t know if “amazed” is the right word, definitely a nice screen though 👍🏻
I wanted to hear the engine not you and not the music
Honestly not much to hear with just the stock exhaust. Sorry to disappoint 🤷🏼♂️. I did hear one with a stage 2 in the shop though that sounded great!
It is.... fugly
Not as fully as you mama
