What Honda did you get? I know they are good! Thanks for being Open and Honest about Injun!

Had been looking at the Indian Scout but have driven Honda's all my life. Ended up getting another Honda the 2024 Phantom and glad I did.

Puts a tail tidy on & thinks he's a mechanic. A bike is what it is when you buy it weather it's brand new or old. What your really saying is you're not smart enough to see this and therefore moan about it later.

Just look at the way they (Polaris) treated their Victory customers... what, are you serious? Who would buy something for them?!?!?! AHAHAHAHAHA are you crazy????

Now that’s a badass place to ride! I’m jealous! 🙌🏼

I am so glad Honda made it, just wished they would make the CRF250RL myself - but one can hope.

My favorite ❤❤

-17 now in Alberta Canada, my GL1200 1984 has been one week under snow…I bet she will start, will run rough and grumpy for few minutes but she will work like a horse.

SuperMoto version please Honda.

Can't wait to hear how you like the CRF450RL! I love the 2024 that I picked up last December. I've owned a 2005 DRZ400S that I really enjoyed (after opening it up and jetting for my altitude) but the CRF450RL is way better in all regards except for the service intervals.

Love my 2015 Scout! Owned at least 20 bikes (Harleys, Triumphs, Hondas, the lot): my Scout is the best bike I've ever had. Will never let it go.

wow!! Thought Ducati was bad, but damn..... guess with all manufacturers of late.... profits over quality..... coz you know they suffered so much loss during the pandemic (not like we didn't suffer the same way) and need to just screw everyone to catch up

Polaris DNA. I owned three of their sleds. Two were terrible and one was good.

Ok, so you are what ? 25-28 years old - whatever, you are on your 68th motorcycle already ! ( literally your words in other comment ) and after purchase, you never visit dealer under any circumstances and you are doing everything on the bike yourself because you are 1st class mechanic ??? Riiiiight...I think the dealer was annoyed by your behaviour, maybe reject some warranty because you put your hands on the bike and they did not see it once in the shop for any standard mandatory service, so you got pissed off and this is the result. You could have a lemon also, but this has nothing to do with the brand generally - and to buy anything, like literally anything elase ? Give me a break...Anyway, good luck with your 69th-120th whatever motorcycle ! 😏

Well hell..I am boycotting Harley because of the woke jackoff that added dei and now wont step down. Oh well time to look at the jap bikes.

This is the first Indian bash video I’ve seen. I’ve seen some guys talk about things they would change but every other video I’ve seen the bikes and company are praised. I own a 2016 Scout 60 and it is a phenomenal bike. Never had one problem with it. Smooth while idling, smooth at 90 mph. Can’t ask for a better bike.

She’s a beauty! 😍

Thanks man! I have a DRZ400SM and I have been trying sit down wheelies in 1st gear. It pops up fast but I can’t hold it very long. I’ll try the 2nd gear stagerd next time. Thanks for explaining it step by step!

So my friends Indian Chief classic has went 30,000 so far without a single burp.😂😂😂

Ok they are not supplying the public with what they want, Harley Davidson has the same problem . The easiest bikes to maintain are Royal Enfields.

Awesome review! One of the best reviews I’ve seen. Thanks for really testing it out for us. 🤠

hey hey i noticed this at 17:14. simulation confirmed lol. love the vid just got my v star 650 I've been trying to figure out which style someone decided to turn it in to a bobber and i need a seat that's good for my back and passenger and go possibly cross country with but i need to change it back to original/custom i'm pretty sure its like yours. mines is a 1998 not new but if i can get her to run she'll be mine. starting young on a cruiser so maybe my luck will change

Ive had mine for years and drive it nearly every day.

In 2020 i bought a 2019 base ftr and every time i started it the check engine light came on. I would run it until the temp came up then shut it off and restart and the check engine light stayed off. I traded that bike with 800 miles for a z900rs. Like you say never again. Great vid i am subscribing. I thought it was just my bike. I guess not.

Similar brands are BMW, Moto Guzzi, KTM and Harley Davidson.

Pretty sure Triumph is the only safe reliable motorcycle builder these days.

I won't buy an Indian because Polaris killed Victory. [I own a Victory Cross Country 8 Ball] I worked for Victory's Press fleet from 1999 to 2006. and got to ride the first Victory Vegas [ built to test the production line ] Then was delivered to the motorcycle journalists. And it had no VIN numbers. The Indian Challenger Was originally was designed to be a Victory, then Polaris bought the Indian name, and Killed Victory. I also worked for the "Gilroy" Indian fleet .

Uhhh, in regards to your cold start problems. Some engines need to turn over a few times for the cam sensor to do a full revolution and tell the computer which cylinder is on it's compression stroke. Just turning the engine over for one revolution isn't enough. Now, if the starting system isn't strong enough to turn the engine over multiple times, that's another story.

First of all, don't confuse the REAL Indian motorcycle company with the FAKE Indian motorcycle company started by Polaris, which sold their first FAKE Indian motorcycles in 2014. The first fake Indians from the fake Indian motorcycle company owned by Polaris did look good. In fact, they looked great. Bright shiny paint, including gloss red, LOTS of polished aluminum and chrome, and real leather. Those beautiful Indian fenders. I wanted one, even though I knew they weren't real Indians, just because of how they looked. Fortunately I couldn't afford one, or I would have thrown my money away. They were pretty painted and chromed JUNK. But fake Indians are no longer pretty. They are all FLAT BLACK GARBAGE. I wouldn't buy one now if it was perfect mechanically. It makes me sick to look at them. FTR1200??? That's not even a FAKE Indian. It looks NOTHING like an Indian. The Scout is not much better. No way that looks like a motorcycle engine. And again, all the newer ones are all FLAT BLACK. There is NOTHING uglier than a FLAT BLACK motorcycle. To be fair, those undiagnosable problems are common to all computerized motorcycles. And REAL motorcycles don't have engine codes. Those are actually "computer" codes, and real motorcycles don't have computers. Everything that applies to the fake Indians also applies to modern Harley Davidsons.

Exactly. Clutch is key. Every time I've killed mine has been my own fault. I'm never spending the money for a different ecu. LOVE mine!

Thanks for this video. Indiam is no longer on my list.

You are a paid schill. I am 60 years old an been riding. Since I was 16. I've owned and been a sales person for Harley an Indian. I am a master mechanic. 😎 Indian by leaps n bounds is a far superior designed and built motorcycle. I own several bikes of both makes. I ride my chief more then any other bike. Logged almost 20k not one problem. Can't say that about my hardlys

I'm excited to see how far you go with this. If the rider has enough skill the bike can do it all!

Case in point-no brand is completely free from defects, not even Honda. My 1995 Honda Magna was a total lemon, and you know what? I still love Honda. Things happen; it’s the price we pay for wanting modern technology.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

I absolutely love my 24 CRFR50RL. I've had mine now for about a year and it is still bone stock except fir the Seat Concepts Comfort/Tall seat (which is incredibly effective). Great video!

In life there are always lemons. I myself have bought a few and attempted to fix what was broken or a design flaw by the manufacturers. Back in the early 70s the Japanese manufacturers were a breath of fresh air when it came to providing a bike that won’t leave ya walking. As time move on these Japanese manufacturers seem to be more interested in producing than fixing the issues that was overlooked at the factory. This is the same issues that plagued the British bike market that took them out of business by the late 70s. Pure junk bikes. Unreliable at any ride. Harleys I’ve owned a few in its early times bleed oil out of the engine cases an primary. The EVO seems to solve the leaks. Most of the early Harleys had poor quality when it came to solving the leaky engines. This all could be fixed by having the engine and cases machined to fit correctly with good gasket stuff plus understand the bikes. All this was the joy of riding before the new bikes are pledged with electronic crap. Anti traction, heated hand grips, seat warmer, low tire light, low fuel light, plug for the phone, intercom’s, a sound system ya can’t hear at 70 mph, windshields that go up and down and so on. What is the bike world coming to? Most of this ya don’t really need and you should be checking the bike over before ya fire it up. Two things the rider should be checking, tire pressure and the oils before any ride. Idiot lights are what they are. And if ya need an ass or hand warmer,then stay home or buy a convertible. I’m an older rider,been tossing a leg over a seat over 60 years,longer than most of ya been a live.Ride the bike for what it is.Freedom,wind in your face and the pleasures a ride can provide and learn how to work on your bike! As I heard you’ll never see a bike parked in front of a physics office. My old Harley cured me when I came home from hell a place called Vietnam. Thank you Harley Davidson for being there for me back in the day. Just an older experience guys opinion. Opinions are like asses, we all got one. See ya down the road.

😂 lots of hate on it. Ya. Mine has giving me little issues but issues that other of my bike brands (Kawa and aprilia) have never giving me.

Best video on UA-cam about the drz . I've just bought one and can't wait to ride it after watching this

Thankfully your the only one I've heard say this. Been looking and watching the cruisers though. Maybe just FTR?

The Indian of today isn't the same as the original. It's now owned by Polaris. Politics is the one that brought us Victory bikes. Guess how that is going.

Tell me you have a boyfriend.. without telling me you have a boyfriend. Go go boi... 🤣

ftr carbon 2000 miles no problems yet. best looking bike out there imo.

I just took my CFMoto 650 MT for a ride. 37 f. No problems.

Thanks Micha this is srsly one of the best moto channels

My goodness even my Chonda Hawk 250 is more reliable than an Indian, that's absolutely ridiculous.

Well I got my Ftr last week and rode it once because of the bad weather conditions. I also had problems starting the bike. Dont make me regret buying that bike. It feels so good driving it😂

Wish they did a 2wd version.

They had an Indian demo day here a couple weeks ago. Went to one and rode the FTR and fell in love, the scout 60 not so much. They did another one down the road a few days later and I tried out the scout 101. It was great, until we were coming back and the screen got stuck, showed 2nd gear and 0 mph. I was on the freeway probably doing 80 mph. It also started making a weird sound when this happened. Loved it, until that happened. Thought it was weird that it would happen on a bike that only has 2k miles. I really wanted an FTR as my next bike, but been reconsidering to just sticking with Yamaha and getting the XSR900 instead.

It's my understanding that the new Harley's are plagued with wiring harness and electronic issues as well. That's unacceptable in this day and time. I'll stick with Japanese manufacturers all the way.
