I bought this exact same bike a few months ago, except mine has a tan seat. The bike has met or exceeded all my expectations so far. One surprise for me was how comfortable the seat is. I was expecting to replace it with an afternarket seat, as I find that OEM seats are rarely comfortable, but I have no issues on this one, and can ride for hours. Plus, the tan seat looks awesome! The bike handles incredibly well for a 920 pound beast. In fact, the only time I can really feel the weight is when trying to walk it around the garage. Aside from that, the weight is no problem. My prevous bike, a honda vtx, was 200 pounds lighter, but I feel way more comfortable leaning the RM into the corners than I ever did on the honda. If you’re sitting on the fence on this bike, go for it. You won’t be disappointed.
Awesome to hear you have such a good experience with the RM. It is an awesome machine indeed with wonderful handling. They did a darn good job.
You are the only reviewer that mentioned the driver backrest! Thank you! I always have had one on my Harleys. This is the direction I am heading with Indian... 2020 Elite model. Thank you 😊
Yes! My vstar has me a bit spoiled. I swapped seats out to one that had the backrest option n that is just must for me. I think some would want it, n some not.
Enjoy the Indian n stay safe out there.
Indian makes great bikes!! Very nice ride! Thanks for sharing the ride!
THe left button on the dash is the heated grips. the heated seat controls are under the left side of the seat. I have a 17 Roadmaster , same color. Been a good bike so far. 53,000 miles in a year and a half ownership. The RideCommand is a game changer. I wish mine had ride modes but not bad enough to trade.
Ah ok.
Good info.
I think the ride modes are kind of gimmicky.. just tune the throttle so its smooth and responsive, and that works for me. I would get annoyed wanting to change modes all the time. The ride command is nice, I remember that from playing with it a few years ago. Glad your enjoying it with plenty of safe and fun miles. That's what I'm talking about , buy a bike and ride it ...
My brother just bought a 2021 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse and really loves it. I was trying to steer him towards a full dresser style like this RoadMaster but he wouldn't go for it. Great review. Thanks!!
Omg thank you for watching. This bike ..... was a dream. Through those twisties , it was like a knife through soft hot butter. Really enjoyed the ride.
Ahhh should your brother have gotten the dresser. Well thats really up to him. See everyone sees motorcycle differently. Some see it as short distance vehicle,and others a long distance vehicle. It depends on which side of the fence you like better.
Me I like the long hauls, which is why the addition of my shad box, was a big help.
Thanks for watching, and the awesome comment.
Enjoyed your review. I also have demo rode the Roadmaster, and found it to be very well balanced at slow speeds. Being your height also, l found it very easy to flat foot. I see you got left behind on this ride for a while. That's what I find frustrating on most of these demo events, is the road captains going well over the speed limit. Forcing riders to do the same, pushing them out of their " Ride Your Own Ride". Good to see you didn't take the bait. Safe Travels my Friend.
Yes , by this time I was aware that it was a unguided ride. I already know the route very well, shoot even the pavement conditions. Lol. Only thing to look out for , would be gravel and animals.
Yes it was a fun ride, for this size bike. Enjoyed it. Very nimble in the corners too.
I’m going to get the Indian Chieftain Limited in August or September. Me and my wife discussed it after we got home from our trip Tuesday night and she said YES!!!
Wow congrats. Your going for the chieftain huh. Have you looked at or tried the roadmaster ....?
Yeah but I just don’t like the trunk and she said that it looks like an old mans bike
Ah I hear you. That sucker will hold 2 helmets. Just like the new venture
Man, if I still lived in Montreal I would have met up with you as it would have been only 3 hours away to lake George. I like the way that bike is Kaye’s out and could see myself on one of them. Ride safe bro.
That would be awesome. Yes this was a nice machine. The storage was a amazing
Nice review. I can tell you really enjoyed it. Safe riding bro.
Loved it in that twisty section. You can see me n the wife come come through here on a '15 (I think) roadmaster. In test ride playlist
Wish I could have made it up this year. Hopefully next year I can make it.
It was fun. Next time I think I'll be just riding around .. lake placid is on the list .. just beautiful up there though
Man that Indian bike looks great.
Agreed
Thanks for watching.
Stay safe.
Realy like the way the pillion seat and top box look. You also seem to have good road view regardless of the large front conceal/fairings.
Good observations, and things I didn't point out. The electric shield will spoil your life. Lol
There you go 👍🏼👍🏼
Hehe all in good fun..
Thanks for watching
Nice review. It looks like an Elite model. Really nice 👍🏼
I'm not sure if it was. It was fun though.
I love the Road Master. I have ridden one a few times at demos and they are well balanced. Just wish they would get the pricing down a few thousand? Ride Safe
Surprisingly well balanced. I felt comfortable on it , riding and cornering wise. I heard from some people there Indian is willing to bargain, not many people are running out to buy these big bikes.
Thanks for watching
Absolutely a beautiful bike!
Agreed..
Thanks for watching. Hope all ois well.
Great review! Feels like I almost rode it myself.😁
Not keen on that tapping sound from the valve train...😩
lol . I can barely hear it, or it didn't stand out to me. If you wanna hear some real tapping .. check out my Buell playlist and listen to my blast with a 515 kit, and a xb12 1200cc head (ported by Hammer perf) . After listening to that , you won't mind this. lol.
lol...I can't help it now...Rosie is stuck in my head everytime I see those ..... hahahaha dammit. :P
Yup... Stony got me thinking the same. It's an automatic thought now for me. I just try not to look at the dash to not break out laughing...
Funniest comment ever....
Lol
Love the Roadmaster but way out of my price range and I would need a bigger shed to park it in🤣
Yes, price range is a bit high. Still I live top demo these bikes, just for the experience. Shed extension to store the Scout n Roadmastet. Hehe
sorry if i missed it, what year is this bike? i am considering a 2019 model at my local dealership
This should have been a 2019.
I hear you brother ,we love the americade , we demoed a few Indians as well. Great time.It goes by way to fast
Yes sir . It was fun. I actually wish more of the companies did the follow the leader , get online and ride method.. I didn't even make over to BMW. Hehe.
Also, what did you demo? Thoughts? Favorite?
I demoed the motor trike and the two Indians were the roadmaster and Darkhorse it’s hard to determine which one I like the best I really like that Darkhorse a lot though the 116 version
What were the trikes like?
It’s pretty cool, I enjoyed it the only thing I wasn’t crazy about was not being able to lean in the turns
Trying to catch up, probably like this the best of any of the ones you tested. Be honest...you really wanted that heated seat on!!!
Haha. Those thing... more freaking electronics to go wrong when out of warranty lol
the gauges look like a robots face haha. you got it video'ed this time .. did it change much this year over the other one ???
I saw the cylinder deactivation. I think it works ... if it was on.
A lot of buttons to play with on those bikes. lol
I don't care for a lot of buttons or gadgets n buttons..
dont like the sound of this motor.... and what about the gas cap, it seem difficult to tank no?
goldwing. lse commented about the sound of the motor. Something about the valve tick maybe. I dunno I've heard that on every other bike I have ridden except say... the goldwing.
Could you be a little more specific on what you didn't like about the sound. Ill try to see if I hear it in the video.
remy---> I like the exhaust sound on this bike and I own a 2019 Road Glide Ultra with a 128 engine. I wish my engine sounded like this Indian because the exhaust on my 128-inch engine is just a little bit too loud for my ears.
Great review 👍
Thanks.. fun too ..
