Last year I ordered the 2022 Challenger Limited with stage 2 upgrade (cams pipes and intake) added lower fairings audio and light bag audio plus slim trunk. Best choice I made. Only problem is now I have 2 HD’s just sitting in the garage collecting dust. Once you ride it you’ll never look back!!! Great review and video brother
Beautiful Bike! But, I agree, they should have done more for an "Elite" model Challenger. A Larger Engine with even more power is what it really needs.
You must mean the old cvo with the 117 lol The new 121 vvt will eat that bike up! And looks better as well For the money that bike is lame Indian did nothing new at all to really improve the bike. Light up Speakers are the upgrade. Hopefully some day they learn. And let cams as well as other parts and more options for indian. Mostly everyone with an Indian had the same bike lol@@vinnymac1
@@vinnymac1 Don't bother explaining that to people. It literally doesn't matter how good the engine in a motorcycle is, there will always be people who think they should put a bigger engine in it. This could have a the Chevy 5.3L V8 in it and will while whine "Aww it's the elite why doesn't it have the 7.3L Denali engine?? It needs more power." Negative ghost rider. If you get a cruiser and then whine it's not fast enough, then you don't want a cruiser.
That's why I want to get a Pursuit dark horse and just take the passenger back rest off of it unless I go on long rides. The backrest is super super easy to take off
Absolutely love this bike! I had a 2018 Harley Davidson Rd. glide and loved it as well but this this is just a little bit different a little bit more. Can’t wait to snag one.
I just can't understand why they don't put rear crash bars on to protect the custom paint job on the bags. All of the Challengers should have rear crash bars, that's why I went ahead and got the Pursuit. More bang for my buck. Just to add a trunk to a Challenger would have cost more than the Pursuit, and I can remove the trunk anytime I want. Then there's the front lowers, rear crash bars, and nicer seat for the passenger.
For 2025 Indian will be offering the power plus in other models and possibly a 112 cubic inch version. So harley is going to need to offer a 131 or bigger version to match a stock challenger.
If they want to call it a limited edition, then I would think that they would add a better set of bars and also a set of pipes with a tune. So that you don't have to spend an extra 5 grand straight off the bat.
The k1600b and GA both have bad wobble issues at speeds over 70 bmw put a limiter to slow the bike down and avoid crashes there’s an open NTHSA investigation on that bike I’ll stick with the Indian
Ha! Actually Indian has started pushing Harley to start upgrading to 21st century technology and performance. HD is realizing that if they want to keep their market they will need to rely on more than just a name. You should be thankful!

Thanks man
I’ll take one if you’re not gonna use it lol
@@Numb_Skull00 Did monkeyboy not state that he ordered his Challenger from the factory where they added the upgrades? Or am I missing something.
@@Numb_Skull00you can order them from the dealership.

has lots of power already. more than the cvo
Wow!" That's Awesome! But for an Elite model it should be a step up, in my opinion.

25 rumors are the 112 in the Challenger. Also in the Road Master.
Can u review some 2024 line ups from indian motorcycle?

I don't understand how ape hangers can be more comfortable than the stock bars. Maybe it's because I have shoulder issues?

I can't find the link to the video you mentioned about comparing the elite to the challenget
LOVE FROM DEKALB MISSISSIPPI USA 🇺🇲
Love those Indian motorcycles❣️
They just keep getting better and better👍
Elite should have a 131+ and a better exhaust. it would steal even more cvo customers.
Great looking bike. Those red wheels look nice when new, but I think I'd get tired of them after a while.
Good call to go with metallic, nothing looks worse than matte on a premium bike
In that color combo this is a really nice looking bike.
It's pretty and all, but I'm eyeing a Riot Orange Dark Horse.
And yes, I blame you. 🤣
lol

You're correct, I also think the tank badges look better on the pursuit.
What more are you looking for? Machine gun turret? Conceal carry compartments?
"The biggest thing you get is the paint" !!!
I’m selling my garbage oil burning Lowrider ST to get a Darkhorse
Same here with my Heritage. It’s been a good bike, but it’s time for me to move onwards & upwards, but HD just don’t have the offerings.
Not a great sales pitch.
@@markmaese1599what isn’t?
I'll be visiting the indian dealer soon, i'm tired of being taken for a ride and treated like trash every time i walk into a harley dealer
My Indian dealer is night and day from Harley. I talk with the owner all the time. Always gets back to me and answers any questions on DMs I send him.
So Heg as u said at the end of your video, what was it u wish that Indian should have push the Challenger to?
Rumor is they are doing the 112 on the 25. Always the case the last year before the changes gets the shaft.

Good looking but reminds me of a Honda from the side.
Would have expected active cruise control for elite
Bar comfort is entirely up to the individual
Liked and subscribed

It’s crazy they have a beautiful bike like that and still haven’t done anything with that god awesome exposed screw top on fuel tank
Good bike, but never the fastest production Bagger. That title goes to the BMW K1600 B (Bagger).
Unless you go with the Grand America model of the K16, which they limited it to about 103mph. Whad up BMW?!
The k1600b and GA both have bad wobble issues at speeds over 70 bmw put a limiter to slow the bike down and avoid crashes there’s an open NTHSA investigation on that bike I’ll stick with the Indian
WHEN DO THESE GET CAM,FLASH READY?? ECU FLASH??? HURRY
wow😮
I'm willing to bet it will out run the HD 121
So, since these bikes came out the biggest change is…. Paint… smh
The only thing I don't like is it still has analog gauges. 2024 Harleys do not. I guess we will see that in 2025.
Dude….
touch screen! hahahhah what a bunch of useless tech to pay for.
Until you actually try it out alongside the superb handling, brilliant suspension, liquid cooling and 21st century technology.
I mean do they copy really everything? Disgusting
What did they copy?
Tell us, what did they copy???

@@seeda3473 you are absolutely correct
And when did HD produce a liquid cooled cruiser with 122hp? Never, that’s right.
You forgot the heated hand grips on Elite’s
