@@anthonyfelton3752 Oh nice. What did you end up liking more about it than Harley's offerings? I test rode some Harleys when I was in the market and then rode the Springfield and the suspension was like riding in pure luxary. Had me sold during my test ride.
@@SpykeZ0129 The ride and suspension is a lot smoother. I love the ride modes. You have more screens to monitor different aspects of the bike like rpms, tire pressure etc.
I have owned a 2015, 2016, 2021, Roadmasters and the lowers were way more functional in the older bikes, you had said you couldn't open the older ones, that is incorrect, they could be opened and worked very well, they also had a air deflector built into them and that gave you a much better air flow control. I am not very happy loosing that air flow controls with the 2021, and I will actually have a hard to understand why Indian would do that to a working design. The 116 thunder stroke is definitely the shining light in the newer models, other than that the I actually liked the older bikes better. I thought the ride command would be great but it is mostly worthless, best to just use your phone. The ride mode feature, is nice but not very useful. I am also a former Harley Davidson owner, I owned 4 new bikes and am very happy with Indian motorcycles but, though must go into not going backwards instead of forward. You have a nice bike there enjoy the ride and keep the shinny side up.
Great video and Sharp bike as well, respect the fact that you didn't try to sway people one way or another with the comparison of Harley to Indian..in my opinion ride what you can afford where you don't get yourself in trouble financially!
Didn’t like the color at first but the more I see it the more it grows on me I didn’t like it at first because I thought it was like a husker red but when I seen one in person I was hooked.
Awesome bike and a nice review! After a few hundred miles, please do one from your passengers opinion! Nobody thinks to do this and I would like to know how happy my wife might be. This helps in selling her on the idea of a new bike!
Nice bike my wife would complain about that little seat though. Like the look of the fairing and fender. It needs rear crash bars and floorboards. That's probably why it's a little less expensive than HD limited
Hello Bradley believe it or not that is the factory exhaust and I did change it out to an upgrade exhaust a month later and she even sounds better than that. Its all factory Indian products just so you know.
It's a good exhaust but the first thing I did (on my 2020 Roadmaster Icon)was to remove the catalytic converter as it builds up tons of heat. While the mufflers were off, I noticed that the "knockouts" already had holes drilled through them (unlike my 2018 Roadmaster).
I have owned 8 Harley's. I went with Indian this time and couldn't be happier.
Welcome to the crew :D What bike did you end up getting?
SpykeZ0129 2019 roadmaster

Normal Roadmaster bikes have rear floorboards and not pegs. Keep an eye on the windshield screws they tend to come loose and cause a rattle.
Great looking bike, but I love your other toys in your garage too.
Didn’t like the color at first but the more I see it the more it grows on me I didn’t like it at first because I thought it was like a husker red but when I seen one in person I was hooked.
Nice toys in your garage...gorgeous bike but i will stick with my XC

Following suit very soon, will just be black for me. Test rode the other day........see you later Harley. Lol.
Does that trunk have a quick disconnect feature?
Yes the Indian trunks is quick release.
That color is amazing man. Congrats on the new bike.
Man , I love that color!
Beautiful bike and fantastic color.
Wow that really looks a lot like an Electra glide
Indian does a good job of copying just about everything that Harley makes.
@@BobsGT235 , yeah and for 1/2 the price!
@@tygreenwood472 1-2k less is a long long ways from 1/2
@@BobsGT235 provided the proof of what your saying or are you just barking
Def not half the price lol but yeah definitely copied
what happened to the luggage rack? F11 that beautiful bike and protect that flat finish
That is a good looking bike! Next time around, I'm going to have to shop it.
When I grow up, I want one too!
Nice bike my wife would complain about that little seat though. Like the look of the fairing and fender. It needs rear crash bars and floorboards. That's probably why it's a little less expensive than HD limited
Looks fantastic. Good move👍
Nice bike... the only thing I would change would be the long antenna in the back.
Beautiful looking bike brother. I'm waiting for the new Challenger to be released as I ride one up. Congrats mate.
I wish i can put that kind of back support for myself as a rider
Very nice bike .
Good lord what a huge front wheel.
Ride safe
Good video I was wandering the shape of the lowers, even if someone was making speakers for them yet? Won't be long..
if you get the power commander pvcx you can up the tune and get more out of it.
Garage full of toys except the mustang lol I'm a Camaro guy 😉. A guy after his own heart lol need a RK to complete it 🤙
Beautiful bike man. Thanks.
Absolutely love that.
Nice review and congrats!
100% in agreement 👍. Love the bike
Are the lowers and tour pack removable?
Tour Pack is but lowers a little bit more of a project but yes.
Love the dark horse just can’t understand why the elite is 10k more for almost the same bike.
Disappointed they didn’t put the liquid cooled challenger engine in this.. one reason I traded my 2014 Roadmaster
What exhaust is that, as I'm looking for a good one when I order mine. That sounds beautiful.

1-year updates on all Indian GPS
They are offering 2 years now. I'm also looking at this bike and asked that question.
@@davidknows3320 good to know, is the trunk removable?
Greezy_Chef yes, there are two set screws to remove, but the quick detach hardware is factory.
I also want to be a millionaire
Does your Dark Horse offer a reverse gear? Heated seats?
No reverse and heated seat is an upgrade which I did. And I’m sure someone will figure out a reverse gear option but not factory.
NOT A HD COPY CAT! It is a Victory disguised as a Indian!
Thst exactly what i thought when the new models showed up w those tanks (Challenger) and front fenders. I like that they're doing that. Good call.
Wow, how many bikes do you have? That's nuts having that many and not able to ride them all. Do you want to sell one, cheap?
I can’t ride a touring motorcycle with stock higher handle bars.
