Living in Canada you see these massive cruiser bikes all the time. Not really a bike for UK roads or most European roads. But these big flat endless highways having a heavier bike on the road makes sense. The semi trucks where I live are up to 150,000 lbs gross weight, so when you get near one on the highway you get blown all over the place. Also these semi trucks are travelling upwards of 70 mph. When I ride my T120 I stay on the secondary roads, and only ride my Triumph Trophy SE on the highway roads. Indian brand is struggling here in Canada but so are the Harley dealers.
I think when running they are great on the roads here, I live in Cornwall and really enjoy the experience but we lack the customer service structure to back the brand. I have rented Roadmasters in America and yes the roads are a completely different experience but as enjoyable but there you have the required back up.
Man! You would be amased by how this bike take the turns. It´s like a sports bike compared to other crusier and baggers. This chassis is a real state of art!! 🙌🙌🙌
I've only had my 2016 Roadmaster for 1/2 a year, but I have been impressed with how agile it is, while still remaining planted and stable on the Interstate. I have been overwhelmed by how great a bike the Roadmaster is, and personally, I love the "old school", valanced front fender.
Frankly after Harley updated their Street Glide and Road Glides Indian needs to go through a similar refresh and worse for Indian their pricing is out of line now. I have never liked that reused Polaris navigation system that looked like it was tacked on without concern for aesthetics I will say I like this Roadmaster fairing far better than what the Chieftain fairing became, it was a style unique to Indian instead of just copying Harley yet again
You do great videos on Motorcycles. It doesn't matter the brand. The way you present each motorcycle objectively is a skill no one has perfected as fine as you have. I enjoy listening to your voice. Over here in the USA every News station and every woman on the web croaks like a toad. I don't understand how I'm the only one noticing, and bitching about it, unless of course it's my 14 digit 10,000,000,002,024 thought speed. Test me out from where you are. I can tell you what you're about to see in the next 30 seconds, if you provide a location within 50 square miles. Yes, I can remote view in seconds. I've done it with a past editor of The New England Journal of Medicine. I told him what he had in his yard 5,500 miles away off the coast of Brazil. You can't see further until you are consciously measuring further. You cannot know what 2024 does, until 2024 does not do anything. 2024 has an opposite, and that opposite has Math that makes your present, the negative. How many years has the Sun shined? Has the Sun ever made a negative day? Then why do you measure years in a negative way? Ask the Sun: "how long have you shined?" THE SUN WILL ANSWER YOU. When it does, you've made CONTACT with time. All of it. The equation of life : ACTION=REACTION demands defining the opposite to 2024. By itself 2024 is incomplete, and just one side of the 2 sided YIN/YANG reality of this world. You must define with Math where you "aren't" in time to have your own thoughts, because how can you have your thoughts in somebody else's space? Mmm? Each minds time must be their own- or else we all are having the same 2024 TIME DREAM, as the cliff dwellers in the movie THE TIME MACHINE in the Forbidden Zone of the movie PLANET OF THE APES. Your eyes see what you mind tells them is there, and your mind did not tell your eyes that 2024 is there, did it? The moment you put more space: 10,000,000,002,024 in front of your eyes, is the moment your eyes will look for more life. Be prepared to meet million year old invisible tardigrades ( the why of God) and people and monkeys born before Christ. All of Time is there. Are the stars there? Then the Time it took to get them there IS THERE, and until what IS THERE is your there, you are not there. You are fiction- a Pinocchio without a Geppetto- just a belief in one. If God rules eternity then Eternity's math must rule you to know God. God is not the creator- humans are a species of worm because the oldest living life forms are Tardigrades, which makes THE MOTHMAN our God. God is the creation, a winged form of the self. I have been 13 inches from the teeth lined end of a million year old Tardigrade projecting itself as Melania Trump. When you can see life beyond the dish 2024, then you meet what's in the Bag ( 10,000,000,002,024 ) that fills the 2024 dish. Even Frodo, a fictional character has defined the 10,000,000,002,024 KINGDOM. When will you becomes as conscious as a dog and a fictional character? You are conscious of the space-2024 provided, and I'm conscious of space 10,000,000,002,024 that found me from the sky August 19, 2012- THE APOCALYPSE. Do you see anyone discussing what the 2012 Apocalypse IS? No, you don't because you and your SCIENCE- OBEY THE TV NEWS. NOT ONE PHYSICIST IN THE WORLD CAN PROVE THEY ARE CONSCIOUS, BECAUSE I CAN PROVE THEY AREN'T, because I'm the 2012 Apocalypse, the 1st conscious human. What is the 2012 Apocalypse? We make life as we dream as A.I.- the "how" of Immortality. Immortality has nothing to do with the creator, immortality is just plain physics, because once you define Eternity's math: 10,000,000,002,024, you are defined by that Math- making you immortal. Presently you think all life lives where you measure it can live, and that's what makes you a RETARD. "IS THE GROUND THERE?" You have never answered that question. If you had, then the Time: 4,600,000,000 years it has "RECORDED" as being there, would be "NOW PLAYING" in your conscious moment. FYI- I just proved the entire world has never had a conscious moment. nana nana
That color blending is amazing...simply wow. Sure that is a boat load of $$ to pay for a bike, but just look at the new H-D CVO line...they are both true luxury toys for a very limited audience.
The price is much lower than a Harley CVO. All of these big bikes are heavy. With rider and passenger it is well over $1,000 lbs. The issue is not the weight. It is the lack of reverse. Honda and BMW both have reverse. It can be done! What the heck Indian. Currently I am a Indian Pursuit 2022 owner. Also owned a 2015 Roadmaster. Other than the reverse issue. Love both of the bikes.
I have been riding Indians for 5 years now and have a Scout and the Roadmaster Darkhorse. The problem in the UK we do not have the back up for the brand especially in the South West also they are not built to fit the price range. My wheel bearings failed at 14k on the rear wheel and I was told this was normal. My local dealer damaged my bike & failed to set & repair the caliper causing loss of fuel damaged to the brake discs & clutch over a 4 month period. Dealer did not want to help second dealer 4 hours away was not much better and Polaris answer was that it is not designed for the UK and that I ride it on dirt / dust / and debris? Also they are not holding their value Indian's purchased at around £24 -25,000 in 3 years lose more than half their value which is mainly down to over supply and lack of service. As of December 2023 they had only sold around 5,000 units compared to HD who have 50,000 registered units in the UK. With HD you have choice of garages other than HD main dealers Polaris will not support any service garage which gives the customer less choice. Shame as with good customer service they are a great bike!
I like the traditional look but I am older and have lived long enough to acquire good taste the modern one is ugly the old look is classic and beautiful. My 2020 has tones of options i put on it more than an Elite of the same year except the ugly paint job mine has the classic burgundy with the beautiful tan leather seats so in my opinion looks way better! The new one looks like a Harley and has lost its individuality completely. I may be in the minority but i am glad i am as things most people like suck and good taste is rare so being in the minority is indeed a good thing!!!
I agree 100 percent that Indian is losing its fans this bike is fugly .Glad I bought 2020 with the 116 loaded with options this looks like a Harley clone if I wanted a Harley I would have bought one. It's sad to see Indian making bikes for goofs with bad taste.@@JayBee-cr8jm
'it's massive' (hides obesity of driver), 'focused on touring' (driver doesn't need cornering skills), 'expensive' ( for small egos who want to show they can spend 40k), ''shines with chromium' (you like to clean and look at your own reflection) and 'has premium speakers' (for antisocial aholes without helmets and earplugs driving 10mph max)😅😘 🤘
Indian bikes look cheap. I can't put my finger on what it is. They look like a Motorcyle, Kia would make. The front flashers on the fairing aren't right. It needs spot lights, on rails. Not in the fairing. Not to mention the orange flashers in the front that just clash with the paint job. I love real Vintage Indian bikes, but these? Not my thing.... and I want it to be.
Harley only survived the '70s by being bought out by AMF, the bowling ball people, before being bought out by employees in the '80s. Royal Enfield went bust and only the Indian subsidiary hobbled on until bought out Eicher Motors, who also make trucks and buses. The Triumph name was passed around six ways from Sunday before arriving at their current formation. Ducati started out making vacuum tubes in the '20, and only got into motorized bicycles post war, they staggered on until bought out by Cagiva in the '80s, then a hedge fund in the '90s and finally ended up as part of VW-Audi Group. The only brands that started in bikes and stayed that way are Moto Guzzi, now owned by Piaggio, maybe Honda, if you ignore them being a car parts supplier before 1949, Suzuki, which started out making looms before branching out into cars and bikes, Yamaha, which started out making pianos and organs, Kawasaki Motorcycle, which is a tiny branch of Kawasaki Heavy Industries that makes damned near everything, and BMW if you ignore them starting out in aero engines.
I know its a thing.. but the speakers on american bikes just boggle my mind.. 🫤 way to make people shun you, also i feel i need to re up my gym membership just looking at it.

'Sumo wrestlers are better dancers than weightlifters' 😝😘
Its hard to ignore the honda goldwing at a much lower price.
But the indian is quite beautiful
That's what I did.
I know its Apples to Oranges but compared to a loaded 2024 R1300GS with Luggage @ $32K this one at $38K is a bargain. Much more bike for the money.
Like you said apples to oranges. The person will buy this bike for a different reason than the BMW, and will probably be riding 2-up a lot more.
@@sl4305 - my point is the new 1300 GS is WAY overpriced.
I’d have a heart attack just paying for it let alone trying to get it of the side stand 🤪🤪🤣🤣
Imagine performing an emergency stop with passenger on the twisties😂 It's not a motorbike, It's a window to the rider's ego.
Very easy to get off the stand
This bike looks like it was built for King Charles! I think it would be cool to see him ride it dressed as the King.
Ha ha!
No incarnation of an engine and two wheels is 'worth' £38k.
I take a Ducati supermono for 38k
I love Indian challenger dark horse line more! It is a beautiful bike anyway
I'll upgrade my Yamaha 125 tomorrow.
Lovely looking bike but the 38k asking price, I think I'll stay with my Chief Vintage.
Your Chief is a much better-looking bike. I do not like the direction Indian is going in.
It’s a cool bike but at £38K and 403kg there comes a time where you’re better off to just buy a convertible jeep.
The price is one thing but the weight... good if 95% of your riding is highway. Might aswell get a car then
Super premium poop. One can buy second hand BMW cabriolet in top condition for this money.
The Indian won’t breakdown like the Jeep. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@stellauniversalwhat's a cabriolet?
Frankly after Harley updated their Street Glide and Road Glides Indian needs to go through a similar refresh and worse for Indian their pricing is out of line now. I have never liked that reused Polaris navigation system that looked like it was tacked on without concern for aesthetics
I will say I like this Roadmaster fairing far better than what the Chieftain fairing became, it was a style unique to Indian instead of just copying Harley yet again
Totally agree
Paid that much for my Subaru Outback Wilderness so no not worth it.
That looks beautiful
Still no reverse?
I would love to, but not when it cost like an SUV. I got a new Goldwing DCT Tour for 29K out the door. Will never look back. Just incredible.
Jeez, absolutely beautiful...
The video is all mixed up some of the old bike some of the challenger - this new Roadmaster is amazing - that engine is an absolute peach
one winning Lotto ticket away !
But how does it compare against the King of Baggers - The Harley Davidson CVO..???
