I have always wanted a Harley but test drove a SDH and fell in love with the ride and bought one. I actually love the look of the headlight and design as it’s just different than all the others out there. I don’t regret my purchase at all, but wish I could have a RK as well! Working on it.
That's awesome mate, that's the beauty of motorcycles there is a style to suit everyone's taste 👌 haha not that's a plan mate, why not have both 😅 Thanks for watching 🤙
Great review Matt. Really enjoyed the review as always. Haha on the burn out by accident. Looks like a fun bike. Yes change up a few things, but nothing major. Well done!
Good honest review mate. Myself, I own a Chieftain darkhorse. Indian have their centre of gravity nice and low and they handle awesome. And you're right about the 12v outlet. I charge all my stuff in that saddle bag. Cheers man.
Cheers mate, oh nice ! I loved reviewing that bike mate I had heaps of fun on it and I felt like the chieftan dark horse handled better than the HD RG even. Yeah it's the little things that add that extra value. Thanks for watching 🤙
Legend mate I appreciate your full support, hahaha that's abit of a whoops moment 😅🤣 I'll definitely keep throwing in different bikes here and there. Thanks for watching 🤙
Hi mate, another great review. I love the way you stay honest about the Bike you ride. I did sit on one of those at the dealership. I haven’t ridden one but my first thoughts were similar to yours. I’m 6.2 and I had to reach for the bars and I thought straight up it’s the shape of the seat it pushes you back. You can’t move forward at all. looking forward to your next video, cheers mate.
Thanks Greg, appreciate the support mate. I'll always be as honest as possible. I'm glad I'm not the only one, I thought I was trippen.... thanks for the feedback Greg. Thanks for watching
Cheers mate, glad you're enjoyed in the review's. The Triumph bobber look awesome ! If I can find one I'll definitely do a review mate. Thanks for watching 🤙
Good review mate, the look of the motor puts me off also. Think id prefer the trickle charger port to be hidden somewhere. Iv pretty much decided to get a Heritage 114 i dont think iv seen a review hint hint. Good work keep it up.
Cheers mate, 100% agree they look like Lego or something 😅🤣 also agree it's in abit of a weird spot. Awh man I've been trying to get onto a heritage for ages I bloody love the look of them. I'm working on it I promise, thanks for watching 🤙
I'm a Harley guy but don't mind the look. The only thing that looks strange is the passenger foot pegs coming out of the painted cover. Cheers again Matt great vlog
Mate I just bought my first Cruiser! its a sportster 883 xlc and watching you throw those big bikes around....man you got some kahoonas. The sporty feels massive to me as it is as iv just spend two years on a Monkey bike but I have owned various sport bikes nakeds and supermotos.
Oh wow congratulations that's awesome, I came off sporty/adventure/dirt bikes also ! I never looked twice at a cruise but I'm bloody loving it haha. Those 883s look awesome I'm still yet to ride one though. A monkey bike !!! That's awesome I hope you've still got it.
Hello Matt! Liked, subscribed, commented, watched to the end! The amount of torque this motorbike has...I wonder if the horsepower is correct. It appears to be a very fast motorbike. Of course, you found that out during your zero to sixty burn out! LOL I think the look of the Indian is not that bad. Yes... you might want to change out the bars for a more comfortable ride. The seat might get better after some more miles on it. Color was pretty cool too. I agree with you about that huge out plastic frame around the head light. That doesn't look too good, but not too bad while you were riding it. Overall... a really awesome vlog on an interesting motorbike! You're the best Matt!!! John...
G'day John! You bloody legend I appreciate that mate. Yeah I agree with you John I'm not sure if it is. It's abit frustrating when I can't get the right figure of the indian website they don't even have it listed.... Haha that power skid did shock me 🤣 Yeah overall it was a good bike and a good option for the cruiser riders to have. Thanks for watching 🤙
Solid video mate the sdh is my dream bike. I do agree with most when they say the style is not the greatest. But with it being as naked as it is leaves alot of room for customization. Starting with that color 😂
I’ve been tossing up between these and a RK, loos like because of stretch to bars I’m short that the RK will be the one👌 if Million Dollar Bogan can reach I definitely can😂another great vid man
Oh wow well there ya go, I'm glad this vid was able to help you mate. Yeah it was a very weird feeling even me being 6"3 I had no bend in the elbow at all.... hahaha good point ! Thanks for watching 🤙
Personally i think it looks awesome also i do like the look of the engine. Spinning the tyre on a stock "bagger" that's pretty cool id say. Its all about the torque, horsepower is good for when you're talking shit at pub😁.Great honest review as usual you know that old saying "you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time "Cheers mate 🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿
That's fair enough mate, it's all Personal preference that's why I love motorcycles there is something for everyone's taste. Haha it did shock me when that happened 😅 lol good point, bragging rights only 😅 very true, thanks for watching 🤙
I was hoping you'd do this video. I've been looking seriously at this bike but in the Mid North Coast NSW you don't really see any and the support network looks pretty poor. I was was particularly interested how the extra rear suspension travel compared. I've seen the seat being a complaint a lot on other reviews but I wasn't aware of the bar reach. Switch lockable panniers would be cool. I'd imagine the rear cylinder deactivation would also assist to prevent engine wear, the rear cylinder on a v-twin cops a pissling from heat.
@mickmccluand4677 haha I finally got around to it sorry for the wait. Yeah it is abit hard with indian over here I've heard but it can only get better right ? (Hopefully) the bikes suspension felt awesome i wouldn't say it was any better or worse than the road king I also did scrape the exhaust before the floor boards 🤔 I guess the reach also depends where you sit on the seat but a normal human sits back and I couldn't bend my elbows. Good points mate, I'll have to try it out another time and see if I can feel the heat difference too. Thanks for watching 🤙
I have a Chieftain and live on the NSW South Coast. My nearest indian dealer is a couple of hours away, but I have a abloke I use for services down here and he's great. As for the seat, yeah your arse does get a bit sore, but you have to wear the seat in just like aftermarket ones. I did a review on my bike after 5000km and the only gripe I had was the headlight. Nearly 8000km on it now a d I still have the standard seat.
Another good review mate...I've never ridden an Indian before, but I do like the look of some models...one of the bro's rides an Indian Challenger Ltd and he put TAB Zombies on it, sounds great and looks great too, but yeah nah, I'd prefer Harley all day every day but once again, it's personal preference...yeah, I agree with not liking the big ugly head light, looks like it belongs on a freight train and all that covering up (Dunno what you call it?) by the passengers pegs...looks yuk🤟🏽🍻
Cheers mate, I dig the sporty looking models (which I'm yet to review). Oh true the challenger was a fun bike to ride. Agree mate, harleys for me too 👌 Hahaha big stream train front end 😅 idk what it's called. Does look odd around there doesn't it.... Thanks for watching 🤙
Appreciate different reviews. As cheap alternative to big cruisers, for us budget types. I'm looking into Yami Vstar 1300A... see what ya think. Cheers Brother ! 👍👍
It has some great features like the power in the bag and this saddle bags looks great but why have this when you can have the bike it’s trying to imitate? 😂 great review as always!
Yeah it sure does bro, definitely a cool option but I agree for only 4k more.... you get a real blokes bike that looks alot better, cheers bro thanks for watching 🤙
Hell yeah !!! Ooooh yeah good choice I'll definitely be trying to do one of those soon as I know you guys have requested it a few times 😅 hope you guys had a good chrissy and new years. Thanks for watching 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley Yes I agree mate , I love my 2020 RKS , but I am surprised HD did not update it for this year with the new tail lights and bags like the other tourers .... still waiting for your Gold wing Bagger review to see what you think ??? or maybe a FJR 1300 cop bike ;-)
Your trippn bro. This Springfield has every bit of sleek, muscular, beefy lines as the RK and packed features that you'd have to throw 5k at an HD out the gate.
@oldsparky14 the 2 places that I ride demo bikes at don't have the gold wing unfortunately but ill keep an eye out. And the fjr is cool as, if you watched my vlog heading down south a fella named Sean (he travelled around aus on a trike) he has a fjr and bloody loves it !
I had one of those in a satin white pearl colour... wish i never traded it for my Ultra but such is life, the bars are as simple as loosening the clamp and pull back on them till you are comfortable
Oh really mate, might have to get yourself another one ! I think I'd need to put some sort of riser/push back on it otherwise it would look weird played back even further but I get what you're saying.
100% agree mate, it can be irrelevant to an extent but I like to know so I can tell you guys 😅 but it felt good either way and that's what it's about. Thanks for watching 🤙
Hey Matt, Good review, I'm with you not a fan of the look, just something about the Indians, not sure the Scout Bobber is ok. HD for me every day mate. 👊😎👊
Cheers mate, yeah they have abit of a Lego/plastic look to them but at the same time it was fun to ride I enjoyed that aspect. I agree mate thanks for watching 🤙
Each to their own. Am sure they're nice bikes, and I love bikes generally just for being bikes, but the looks don't do it for me either - especially with their other models and all the studded leather etc 😂 The front fender, the headlight, and the whole area around the pillion pegs (does anyone else think they look a bit like a bicycle crank and pedal?)... Yeah, just looks wrong for me.
Yeeeah I agree it does look like Lego even the engine looks like plastic? I cant force myself to like the looks but it did ride great! Hopefully soon not too sure, gdad lives so far away can be abit hard to plan. Alot of the time can be easier just to film. By myself as I can take as much time as I want to film and get shots etc etc (But I'm sure we will ride together soon) Thanks for watching 🤙
Haha whoops, they are usually fine with it, whoever buys it has abit of a love mark from that gnarly fella 🤣 this is true I do need to feel the limit of the bike otherwise I can't give an honest true review. thanks for watching 🤙
No nothing about em 82hp for 116 cube 😂 looks alright tho 😅 just ride the cxnt bruv dont worry bout the specs and what people think 😂 like ya said get in and ride it 🍻
Yeah I'm still abit unsure if that's the accurate number... since indian don't list the hp figure on the site (frustrating). But that's it mate just focus on how it feels at the end of the day. Thanks for watching 🤙
Regarding how the rear cylinder shuts down whenever the bike comes to a stop, and then immediately fires back up when the rider pulls away from the stopped position... 🤔 Is literally the same basic technology which shuts a vehicles engine off whenever the vehicle comes to a complete stop... Then once the driver takes their foot off the brake pedal and back on the accelerator pedal again. During that very brief time period, the engine restarts itself again... Which is done on all newer vehicles for both EFFICIENCY and COST SAVINGS Purposes!!! Just Sayin'🤬
Correct mate, which is what i wrote on the screen that it's been around for many years. I was more shocked that I hadn't heard about it in bikes... I've been in a few ubers which turn off when stopped 🙂 Thanks for watching 🤙
Cool something different but not for me the gauge panel on the tank is pretty ugly and styling isn’t the best, might be a quality bike but not my quality. I would go for a Metric Japanese Cruiser over an Indian if I had too. Once you go Harley it’s very hard to go to something else
Cheers mate, I totally agree on all points you made, it does have abit of a cheap feel I still can't get past the look of the engine itself, looks like Lego 😅 Oh it definitely is but I'm still making sure I keep an open mind when I do these reviews. Thanks for watching 🤙
I’m not a fan of Indians bigger bikes, I think the styling misses the mark for me. Indians smaller bikes blow Harley out of the water for me though, love the scouts over the new Harley Sportsters
@ oh yeah, the Chief lineup looks pretty sick as well. Bought myself a Low Rider ST, Harley Softails got the edge just because of the aftermarket support. If I could customize a Chief just as easily as a softail I’d probably have bought a Chief. Love the channel sir, keep up the great content! Cheers from Houston Texas
@tomoates8568 ooooh one of my favourites!!! I'd love a low rider ST some day ! The aftermarket support is next level for harley isn't it. Indian is very behind unfortunately. Thanks so much I really appreciate the support 🙏
100% agree even the motor looks plastic it does my head in, I mentioned that on the last indian review but forgot to on this one. Yeeeeah... not a fan. Yeah that's what I could find anyway, it seemed to feel like more but the 0-100 made sense if that figure I found is true. Indian don't list it on there site unfortunately Thanks for watching 🤙
Great review mate! Looking to purchase one this year, not many Australian reviews around. Keep up the good work 👍🏍️
Cheers mate, awesome well it's a bloody cracking bike that's for sure. Cool to have options for cruiser's. Appreciate that thanks for watching 🤙
I have always wanted a Harley but test drove a SDH and fell in love with the ride and bought one. I actually love the look of the headlight and design as it’s just different than all the others out there. I don’t regret my purchase at all, but wish I could have a RK as well! Working on it.

Thanks
Wow thanks so much! I really appreciate that 🙏
I know it ain’t much but something to say thanks for the effort you put in
Beautiful bike! The lines, the color contrast, that motor! Sheesh! My next bike will be an Indian!
She was a cracking bike I did have alot of fun ! It's my favourite indian I've ridden so far 😁 thanks for watching 🤙
Great review Matt. Really enjoyed the review as always. Haha on the burn out by accident. Looks like a fun bike. Yes change up a few things, but nothing major. Well done!
Cheers mate, hahaha yeah I sent her abit too hard didn't I 🤣 yeah it only needs a few things like they all do I guess. Thanks for watching 🤙
Hi mate from the UK, great video, really enjoy your reviews, keep up the good work mate.
G'day mate, thanks for tuning in and appreciate the kind words thanks for watching 🤙

I like the look of it, thanks for the review!
That's good to hear mate, I like half of it 😅 was fun to ride though, you're welcome thanks for watching 🤙

I love your reviews, I like that you do them on the same roads to give consistent results
How about reviewing the Triumph Bobber
Cheers mate, glad you're enjoyed in the review's. The Triumph bobber look awesome ! If I can find one I'll definitely do a review mate. Thanks for watching 🤙
Good review, thanks mate.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching 🤙
I have ridden a few Indian motorcycles now. I was a big fan of the Sport Chief. But the Roadmaster is one very comfy bike.
Nice review.
The indian sport chief has been requested alot so I'll have to five it a crack. Cheers, thanks for watching 🤙
Good review mate, the look of the motor puts me off also. Think id prefer the trickle charger port to be hidden somewhere. Iv pretty much decided to get a Heritage 114 i dont think iv seen a review hint hint. Good work keep it up.

Haha now that you pointed it out it does look funny actually 😅 anytime glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🤙

Those 883s look awesome I'm still yet to ride one though. A monkey bike !!! That's awesome I hope you've still got it.
add a profile-shot from the side so you can se how the riding position looks like
That's a good point I always forget to do this ! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching 🤙
Thanks for the review 👍 any chance of testing triumph speedmaster? 😉
You're welcome, I'll see what I can do 😅 if they have It as a demo I can usually do a review 😁 thanks for watching 🤙

Yeah overall it was a good bike and a good option for the cruiser riders to have. Thanks for watching 🤙
You've come a long way..... from riding Harley's to Harley's
Hahaha 🤣 hey! I was on a scrambler last week 😁 I'm just testing the waters I'll be on something drastically different soon. Thanks for watching 🤙
Solid video mate the sdh is my dream bike. I do agree with most when they say the style is not the greatest. But with it being as naked as it is leaves alot of room for customization. Starting with that color 😂
Good review, always throws me with the Indian speedo is the 100kph mark is so far around the dial compared to the HD which is at the 12 o'clock mark.
Yeah that's a massive spin out haha looks like you're going 160 instead of 100 🤣 12 o'clock makes way more sense in my opinion 😅
Thanks for watching 🤙
I’ve been tossing up between these and a RK, loos like because of stretch to bars I’m short that the RK will be the one👌 if Million Dollar Bogan can reach I definitely can😂another great vid man

Check out a Yamaha Stryker or Raider. U won't regret it.
It has some great features like the power in the bag and this saddle bags looks great but why have this when you can have the bike it’s trying to imitate? 😂 great review as always!
Yeah it sure does bro, definitely a cool option but I agree for only 4k more.... you get a real blokes bike that looks alot better, cheers bro thanks for watching 🤙
Sick as 🤙
Next one should be an Indian Sport Cheif, low-key looking at getting one, but want all the pros and cons first. 😂
Hell yeah !!!
Ooooh yeah good choice I'll definitely be trying to do one of those soon as I know you guys have requested it a few times 😅 hope you guys had a good chrissy and new years. Thanks for watching 🤙
Nice honest reveiw mate.
A reveiw on the indian sport cheif be worth while as its sort of indians lowrider s/ dyna comparison
Cheers mate, oooh thats a highly requested one, I'll definitely have to do the sport chief asap. Thanks for watching 🤙
The headlight cover and front mudguard look a bit shit. Enjoyed the review, I think it is great testing the competition.
I agree with you, and the motor looks like Lego to me that's one thing i can't seem to get over 🤔 I appreciate that, thanks for watching 🤙
You obviously haven't seen the front mudguards on the Harry Davidson clothing company propaganda machine bikes,they look disgusting.
Agree HD RKS still have the edge in the looks , the indian headlight Necel and bags looks cheap
100% mate, it looks alot more like a blokes bike compared to the indian. It nearly looks plastic doesn't it... 😅😉
@@Gnarly_Harley Yes I agree mate , I love my 2020 RKS , but I am surprised HD did not update it for this year with the new tail lights and bags like the other tourers .... still waiting for your Gold wing Bagger review to see what you think ??? or maybe a FJR 1300 cop bike ;-)
Your trippn bro. This Springfield has every bit of sleek, muscular, beefy lines as the RK and packed features that you'd have to throw 5k at an HD out the gate.
@road_king_dude hey it's all Personal preference isn't it. There is a bike for everyone 😁🤙
@oldsparky14 the 2 places that I ride demo bikes at don't have the gold wing unfortunately but ill keep an eye out. And the fjr is cool as, if you watched my vlog heading down south a fella named Sean (he travelled around aus on a trike) he has a fjr and bloody loves it !
I had one of those in a satin white pearl colour... wish i never traded it for my Ultra but such is life, the bars are as simple as loosening the clamp and pull back on them till you are comfortable
Oh really mate, might have to get yourself another one !
I think I'd need to put some sort of riser/push back on it otherwise it would look weird played back even further but I get what you're saying.
TBH I'm not even interested in top end HP. Torque is where its at on the street, more fun within the limits and keeping your licence.
100% agree mate, it can be irrelevant to an extent but I like to know so I can tell you guys 😅 but it felt good either way and that's what it's about. Thanks for watching 🤙
Great review. I am with you on Indian. I like em, but, not for me, in regards to looks. Engine arwa and HUGE light shroud isn't it
Cheers mate, yeeeah it's just not our taste is it 😅 the engine looks like Lego !
Hey Matt,
Good review, I'm with you not a fan of the look, just something about the Indians, not sure the Scout Bobber is ok. HD for me every day mate. 👊😎👊
Cheers mate, yeah they have abit of a Lego/plastic look to them but at the same time it was fun to ride I enjoyed that aspect. I agree mate thanks for watching 🤙

The front fender, the headlight, and the whole area around the pillion pegs (does anyone else think they look a bit like a bicycle crank and pedal?)... Yeah, just looks wrong for me.
PS - When's the next trip with your old man and G-dad? That vlog was one of my faves, mate! 🤙
Yeeeah I agree it does look like Lego even the engine looks like plastic? I cant force myself to like the looks but it did ride great!
Hopefully soon not too sure, gdad lives so far away can be abit hard to plan. Alot of the time can be easier just to film. By myself as I can take as much time as I want to film and get shots etc etc
(But I'm sure we will ride together soon)
Thanks for watching 🤙
Gotta love scrapping new bike pegs... especially when they're not yours. 😅... It is important to get an accurate review though.
Haha whoops, they are usually fine with it, whoever buys it has abit of a love mark from that gnarly fella 🤣 this is true I do need to feel the limit of the bike otherwise I can't give an honest true review.
thanks for watching 🤙
I do prefere the the Indians over Harleys....never riden a Indian but they just seem to be a bit more Modern
I can understand that perspective, I just don't like the look of the motor etc. Looks like Lego to me 😅
Thanks for watching 🤙
No nothing about em 82hp for 116 cube 😂 looks alright tho 😅 just ride the cxnt bruv dont worry bout the specs and what people think 😂 like ya said get in and ride it 🍻
Yeah I'm still abit unsure if that's the accurate number... since indian don't list the hp figure on the site (frustrating). But that's it mate just focus on how it feels at the end of the day. Thanks for watching 🤙
From all the reviews I've seen, they're great bikes and owners love them, but the styling doesn't suit my taste.
It is definitely a great bike but I agree the styling is just not for me either. Thanks for watching 🤙

Haha Lego. Nah mate you doing well keeping an open mind is good anything with two wheels and a motor is fun. Even a postie bike!!
I’m not a fan of Indians bigger bikes, I think the styling misses the mark for me. Indians smaller bikes blow Harley out of the water for me though, love the scouts over the new Harley Sportsters
I 100% agree eith you. I dig the sport chief though 👌
I've heard they are bloody quick too mate. Hopefully review some soon. Thanks for watching 🤙
@ oh yeah, the Chief lineup looks pretty sick as well. Bought myself a Low Rider ST, Harley Softails got the edge just because of the aftermarket support. If I could customize a Chief just as easily as a softail I’d probably have bought a Chief. Love the channel sir, keep up the great content!

@tomoates8568 ooooh one of my favourites!!! I'd love a low rider ST some day ! The aftermarket support is next level for harley isn't it. Indian is very behind unfortunately.
Thanks so much I really appreciate the support 🙏
$38 😃 I'll have one in each colour 😙
😅😅 sheesh wish I could afford to buy a few more bikes, Good choice though I had heaps of fun on this bike. Thanks for watching 🤙
Just don’t like the look of the motors on the Indians!
Don’t get me started on the naff thing over the head light!
Horsepower? 116 at 82? Wow?
100% agree even the motor looks plastic it does my head in, I mentioned that on the last indian review but forgot to on this one. Yeeeeah... not a fan.
Yeah that's what I could find anyway, it seemed to feel like more but the 0-100 made sense if that figure I found is true. Indian don't list it on there site unfortunately
Thanks for watching 🤙

Haha shots fired mate !!!
You would know punishment breath

You traitor 😜🤣
OI!!!! none of that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m a big fan of the Indians. The models I’ve seen in NSW are beautiful bikes. I’m not sure what models but yeah I like them. 👍🫶🔥
It was fun to ride they are a great option to have if you're into that sort of thing. I'm just not sure on the aesthetics... thanks for watching 🤙
@ only thing I’m not sold on is the colour.
