Great review brother!! You keep bring the content for us!!
Yes indeed Fish!!! I've mentioned this before but you are one of the first ppl to put these bikes on UA-cam! Check out @ridingfish channel to see the debut!!!!
My goodness that is a beautiful bike❤❤❤ I thought I wanted a road glide until I saw the pursuit. After seeing this one my decision is made. Im going Indian pursuit!!!
WOW! Well, the Pursuit/Chieftain Elites should be dropping at some point for the 2024 model year!!! WE might have to both get on that train LOL.
It is always a pleasure to work with you and the Mrs. Glad she is enjoying it. Almost time for you to do something new!
🤣 Maybe, I’ve had my eye on a few
The Indian Challenger Elite is absolutely beautiful...
Yes, IMC did they thing on this one!
Ms Finesse's comment about only short people having to worry about whether they will fit on a bike really resonated with me. I'm also 5, 2 and feeling restricted on which bikes will work because of the vertical challenge can be frustrating. I would enjoy learning more about her experiences on heavy baggers especially at slow speeds, parking, backing up, etc. Thank you for the review.
I will pass along the message and give you either a video update or I will reply to this message once I get an answer. I appreciate you checking out the video and I am glad to assist.
I’m a huge HD guy but I must admit this bike is sweet absolutely amazing. Big congratulations to you and Mrs. finesse👏🏾
I appreciate it! Thanks for checking out the video!
I work at a custom paint shop and helped do the paint on the lower bags and lids and dang i wasn’t expecting the bike to look this good when it was done!
Oh niiice! That’s cool to be a part of a project like this. …and yes very good looking bikes
Congrats! @25:43 well Mrs. Finesse, happy for your upgrade & I totally want Stella! Been looking for that version DH Icon ... I'm 5'3" but long 31" inseam and think it would be a nice fit... Gotta come down from NY & visit Savannah dealership! 🤩
Yeah that Chieftain is a good looking bike.
Love this!!! Life goals! I hope God Blesses me as much as he has blessed you brother.
Amen, thanks! IMC really did good on this paint scheme
Watching this for the second time and wow just a gorgeous bike. Congrats to Mrs. Finesse 💪💪. ps i thought I was the only one that sits in garage looking at his bike 🤣😂😅💪🫶
Negative sir, I sit in the garage often just looking and gently wiping the bikes down LOL. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Love those Indian motorcycles!
They just keep getting better and better 👍
Agree! I'm already looking at the next bike to bring to the garage LOL...don't tell Mrs Finesse, shhhhh!
Can’t believe that lift was able to handle the weight of a motorcycle!
I love seeing this behind the scene footage. Thank you!
(Nice Irish exit today at the practice session 😅$
The bike is only 800lbs, thanks for checking out the channel! I wasn't staying the whole session... the wife wasn't letting me do a practice session on her bike without her doing it first LOL.
Thats a nice looking bike! Great video.
Agreed. Thanks for checking out the video!
The stock just went up on this channel. Beautiful bike!!
🤣right on!
Great Vid. Amazing rare bike. Glad you wasted no time changing the bars for the better Two down to you and the Mrs.
The bars were a must... she so short lol she was leaning deep into the bike with the stock bars. I think we are almost there but might have to get some custom ones made.
I may have missed it, but which bars are those on the elite @finessethechallenger ? Which one do you have on your pursuit?
Congrats on a beautiful new bike! Looks so good!
Appreciate it MZ!
Gorgeous bike. I think it's the best color combo so far. Congratulations on you guy's new addition.
I agree! This combo is amazing!
That is a BEAUTIFUL BIKE. I test rode a Challenger Elite (white)at Americade. I was thoroughly impressed with the bike. I’ve always wanted a 2nd bike. My current bike is a 22 Wing. I’m starting to see an Indian Challenger in my future.. 🤦🏽♂️😁 Safe riding to you both.
Appreciate it! It is a fantastic machine!
good looking motorcycle! Can't wait to see it in person!
Appreciate it, I’ll be sure to ask permission to ride it🤣
Great Review and Good Job Sir
Appreciate it.
Dang, that's bad ass. Congrats👍
Thanks! I might have to step my game up LOL riding with the wifey
That Elite is badass.
I put a Klock Werks windshield on my Pursuit. I had my wife hold a small magnet at the nut when I unscrewed the bolt. Those little bolts weren't falling anywhere. Easy install
Teamwork makes the dream work!!
That bike is SWEET!!! Congratulations to Mrs. Finesse!!👏🏿💯
Thanks 💯
Hands down one of the best looking Indian out there. Oh she’s Purdy 🤩
Yes, yes, IMC pulled no punches on this one.
Good luck and a beautiful bike. Ride safe🎉
Thanks!
Dope bike love the paint scheme Indian is doing there thang
Yes indeed, I agree!
Congratulations to your wife. Beautiful bike love you're content keep up the good work..
Thanks, I am pretty positive we need a road trip LOL
Congratulations 🎊 Awesome looking bike. I think Indian did a Amazing job on that painting combo just enough pop but still classy enjoy…
Yes, this color combo speaks to my soul lol.
One thing that I see that Indian should have done was to update the handle bar grips to match the floor boards..
@@garvinboyce2937 oh yeah! I had not thought about that. They have some that match them too🤔
Congratulations Mrs.Finesse
Thanks.
She’s a beautiful bike! I’m not a Indain motorcycle guy, but damm she looks nice sitting still. Congrats!
Thanks. Beautiful things just look beautiful, no matter what they are. Pretty sure I am going to try and convince the Mrs. to at least let me do the break in hahahaha.
Congrats Mrs. Finesse!!! That thang is thangin girl! 💯
Thanks Chica! The ride is amazing. I love it!
🤣
Congrat's Mrs. Finesse!
Thanks!
Hey its Jim and karon with the challengers,we met at daytona. Congrats Mrs Finesse. Now we need a group ride for the challenger gang!
Heeeeyyyy! Wassap! Well, oddly enough I might be taking you up on that LMAO....maybe
Congratulations Mrs Finesse
Thank you!!
Looking Good Congrats
Appreciate it!
Good review! I miss savannah!
RLTW
Thanks!
Would've been straight on a trailer and off to get ceramic coated first thing had it have been my bike. She's a beautiful beast ❤
Thanks! I am not a fan of ceramic coating...mostly because I've never done it before on a vehicle. However, I'm old school in that way I guess... I will be waxing it this weekend tho.
Congratulations good looking bike✌🏾
Thanks 💯
beautiful bike! I don't see myself ever purchasing an Elite, however, once i get a challenger, the Elite will be the blueprint. There are some aftermarket parts that I prefer over Indian OEM.
Ain't nothing wrong with that! The Challenger/Pursuit platform is amazing and can get quite fun when modifying, I've seen some crazy stuff LOL
Outstanding
Yessir!
Nice I want them Rims. Wow it didn't come with the heat and cool seat
That’s not a Challenger Elite thing the heated seat comes on the “touring” Elite models… give and take.
As far as battery placement goes the more weight you can have down low the better balanced the bike will be!!! And I must add that is a beautiful bike!!!!!
Agree!
Very Nice! I would like to see the chieftain elite
I did do a quick video on one at Biketoberfest this year... Of course if I get the chance to see another one I'll do a video. As you can imagine they are hard to find LOL
Congrats on the new ride!!!! What size windshield did you get for the Pursuit and what brand? I’m the same size and looking at Freedom shield or Klockwerks. I have the 11 in Klockwerks but it’s a little flimsy and too tall. Suggestion for the Elite… replace the bag lights with RydeCulture bag lights… you won’t regret it! #RydewithRC
So I've seen the RydeCulture lights and they do look good... that might be an option. As for the windshield I purchased the IMC flared windshield... they are made by Klockwerks and sold as IMC. There is only one size, and it works great plus I still have the tall one should I want to switch up but there really is no need that flare works great IMO.
Congratulations on the new bike. Beautiful 🏍💨💨💨
Thanks!
Congrats Mrs. Finesse 🫡
Thanks! Her head is big enough LOL... She said from now on I gotta call her Mrs. Finesse The Challenger hahahahaahah
Hey man, what a beauty that bike is. Congrats to you and your wife. I just ordered mine a couple of weeks ago but it might take a little while to be shipped here to Canada. Can I ask you a question? Do the covers between the saddle bags and the bike can be removed in order to put the quick release travel trunk, or they are fixed?. Thanks man
Yes, those covers can be removed however, it is just the upper portion of the covers and not the entire covers. If you wanted to remove them all together there would be some disassembly involved. In short, they do allow for the quick-release tour pack, there will be a video soon detailing that information.
Thanks man, much appreciated
Congratulations on the new edition , great looking bike.. im sure we will hear more about it. What handle bars did you put on there??? Like em.
Those are the Folsom Prison bars from Tab Performance
Gotcha thanks. Is that the 6" ??
@@BigD-SHMC_Adventures yes the +6 I have the +8 on my pursuit
Congrats. Welcome to the Elite fam....lol
Appreciate it
Looking at upgrading to this from my 2019 Chieftain Darkhorse, what handlebars are those?
These are the Tab Performance Folsom Prison bars
That girl is SICK!! Congratulations
Appreciate it!
I gotta get it bro, even if I have to get a co-signer.
🤣 it’s nice! I hear ya, we had to trade up!
Personally I’m not a fan of the red wheels just too much red. Love everything else about the bike. If got one I’d swap them out with the Dark Horse wheels. They have the red accent border around the black spokes. Those would truly look sick on that bike.
Ugh... IDK... well I guess it's a like or not like, but when I pull up next to the wife on her bike all I do is stare LOL it is a great accent to the rest of the bike. (I'm not jealous of her btw) Have you seen it in person?? They aren't like a bright red it's more a maroon or dark red, almost blood color (I feel like I'm trying to convince you HAHAHAHAH)
What bars did she put on? Im waiting on delivery myself in Iowa
The bars on her bike are the Folsom Prison +6 (custom) they are two inches closer to the rider than normal +6 bars. Nice, those bars are going to look gooooood.
Nice bike
Thanks!
The Icons are far more rare. Still baffles me why they market it as so exclusive. Icons they make no more than 50 in a certain color, they're all made to order, so often less. Elites are over 300... and they'll make every single allocation available, so strange. The paint jobs are stunning though.
Me personally I’ve seen waaay more icons on the street and in dealerships (non orders) than I have seen Elites… anywhere. However that could be due to location, around my area I’ve only ever seen one red IMC bike and not a special model just the standard paints🤷🏾♂️. I’m sure there is something to it but idk.
@@FinesseTheChallengerFACTS. Icons aren’t “made to order”, I’ve seen numerous Icons sitting in the dealership floor, and there are way more icons produced than Elites. I don’t know where they got their bullshit info from…
Beautiful
Mmmhm IMC handled the biz in this one
I would love to see the 2024 Indian Pursuit Elite..
Me too! When they drop I'll be sure to get some coverage... and maybe need to clear some space hahaah!
I’ve been told there won’t be Pursuit Elite for 2024
Bro I like this one way much more than the other one nice pick up.
Yes indeed, IMC really came through!
@@FinesseTheChallenger are you looking to get you a new bike too as well?
@@mattr2408able that might be something I’m looking at
Awesome whenever you come to Arizona bro please look me up. I definitely like to ride with you. I watch your contents all the time. Even though I have a Harli, I still like the information that you share about Indian.
@@mattr2408able Absolutely, if I’m in that area I’ll be sure to make a post👍🏿👍🏿
Nice bike no doubt. The only thing I don't like is that the saddlebag lights are running lights only. Instead of spending design money on a novelty like light up speakers, I'd rather they'd have put integrated stop/turn/running lights on the bags. Safety first. Other than that, I like the bike.
We agree, and everyone that I have talked to about these lights says the same thing. Hopefully, at some point, this option will change.
The bike is 🔥🔥🔥, but what’s gone happen to the Cookie Monster!!!!!😢
Cookie gonna be hanging on for dear life🤣
❤❤❤
Thanks
Oh yeah that’s a bad boi
All I do is stare at it all day LOL
@@FinesseTheChallenger I’m going to the Indian dealership to see it in person. It’s 15mins from my house
@@kellybgliding if they have one on the floor you won’t be disappointed
How tall are you and do you need extended reach controls? Is there central locking on the boxes?
Wifey is 5'2", and she currently does not have extended reach controls however we are making some changes to the bike specifically for her. I am currently working on that video and it should be out shortly. Also, idk what you mean by boxes...unless you are talking about the saddlebags then the lock controls are on the remote and the dash... you can also use a key to lock them as well.
Thanks for the reply. I'm 6'2 and have extended reach on my scout anniversary but Its still not enough. Just wondering if I'd need to do extended reach on the challenger.
Yep, saddle bags. Good to know they are remote locking. Haven't seen anything to say they are.
@@stewartwilliams1350 at 6’2” you might be good I have friends at that height that didn’t make any mods and it fits fine.
Why do they make it so limited? Seems like they would sale so many more if more were available. 🤔
I think it is a cool way to highlight these specialty motorcycles. Additionally, each of these bikes is hand painted so if they were to do this on a larger scale there would most likely be people waiting across year models for their bikes. At least that's my assumption. Good question I'll have to put more thought into it or try to ask IMC the reason behind this.
Congrats to Ms. Finess ...
Tell her that I'm jealous as hell, as is about 3/4 of the other Indian riders across the country are. What handlebars are on there, you left that out ?
It’s the Folsom Prison bars from Tab, I’ll be doing another video on it
90 R&B 🎉🎉🎉 💪 💪
Still some of the best music out there!
Indian Baby!
Yessir!
They should make 1901 Elites
If they did it would look like one of those KMart black friday videos LMAO
Looky looky but no touchy!!! 😂❤😂 💪 💪
She so mean lmao!
Im so jealous
Me too🤣
I want a challenger elite brand new same motorcycle,Question How much does that motorcycle weight also I am 6’1 230 in your opinion first motorcycle would you advise getting me a motorcycle like this for my first motorcycle
The Challenger weights about 800lbs and sure, you could have one as a first motorcycle. However, the caveat to that, just as it is with ANY motorcycle, is how much you train and practice to operate the motorcycle SAFELY. Assuming you do both of those on a regular basis and operate the motorcycle safely then this motorcycle as a first bike would be a non-issue. Now if the question is an Elite as a first, I mean that's based on your own preferences. Just understand that if you are learning on an Elite trim, you will most likely drop the bike at some point during training and getting replacement body parts might be a bit of a nightmare since these bikes are hand painted. As an example after 17 years of not riding a motorcycle the Challenger was my first cruiser and I am 5'9" 230 and it was a great experience. However, different people will have different experiences I would say test ride the bike first and make sure you are comfortable with the power and the handling of the bike and then make your decision after that. You might find that it fits your riding style or maybe you will find a different bike in the lineup that fits you better instead...test everything and make your best decision is really the best advice I can give you.
Who makes the bars
The bars are Tab Performance the +6
@@FinesseTheChallenger thanks
Should’ve named her Stallion😮
🤣🤣🤣
I wish with the elite Indian would put bigger cams and tune to support after all it’s elite even though you have paint upgrades on stereo heated grips lights on crash bar the engine should produce more HO and torque just saying I own the cement gray elite great bike Oslo like the rims
I’d never say no to some extra power!🤣 Good stuff!
I put painters tape on the back when I put my klock window on so wouldn’t loose nuts
Good stuff, great tip!
Congrats to Mrs. Finesse! Love the Challenger! Not going to say who in the Family has the better looking Whip, but a Storm is passing over 😂
hahaha Oh I know!
Thank you both for sharing your purchase experience with us
