This is the bike that will make other brands step up their game. Indian motorcycle really nailed it down and upgraded the game for every bike brand.
Greg Durkee do you think so? All the “new” technology is being made by BMW, thriumph, Ducati for years maybe more than a decade! Leading also in power and torque by alot!
i see two groups loving the challenger... die hard polaris fans who would applaud dog crap in a bag if polaris bagged it... and harley trolls.... i'm always so puzzled how this bike is a step above it has infotainment so does harley and some others.... it's water cooled... wow that's new my road glide limited is also water cooled...it has more horse power... i have read it's over stated for the back tire but still more then harley and yes there are speed and power freaks out there but for any reasonable riding my 114 has always had more then enough if i want horse power i'll go back to crotch rockets... my limited also has a trunk bag and lowers which i would not do without but if you don't want there are road glide versions without them... so the only real point i can concede is a few extra un needed but maybe wanted by some horse power i don't like the looks as well and also i have heated grips which means a lot more to me then a moving windshield... so what did i miss that causes all the goo and gaa or is it a harley troll thing it's better because someone else made it?
The Challenger is a huge step up for Indian but its no BMWs and 2018+ Goldwings.
The Challenger is a huge step up for Indian but it certainly is no BMW or 2018+ Goldwing. The Challenger its intended to complete with these other two bikes. All three are different bikes intended for different purposes.
That’s actually a very good thing, that keeping all bikers community all around the world together and updating us with all what you believe in, you’re the best, fully respect ✊🏼
Great job Indian, I’ve been buying bikes and swapping tires for metzeler, glad this is standard. GPS with weather it’s a amazing feature.
Alexis Galarzs,...GPS with weather is nothing new, its been on other bikes for years and you will need to pay for a monthly subscription to get it,
What's up Adam! So your one of the riders testing the challenger in that picture that was posted on the internet. Pretty cool and a smart move by Indian by inviting you to be one of the test riders. One of the best way to market a brand. Awesome job giving us info we've been waiting on this new Indian bike.
iRocker_ C I was impressed on how they handle things. They truly are a biker company. The CEO was riding with us for shit sake.
Adam Sandoval lol. They should give you a free challenger just by doing them a favor. Just sayin. You should do a Guinness book of world record for Indian. I’m sure thousands will show up and beat the record vs that 600 something they set recently. Again, Just sayin.... Be safe and keep being you, peace out!
Let's all say it together.....BremBO
C Collins lol
"BremBRO"? - Yeah, almost as ignorant & dense as pronouncing "I want to ASK you something" into "I want to AX you something"...
The Underground Man uhhh, what?
Omg he was killing me everytime he said it 🤣😂
lets also say...base model does not come with gps
Good looking machine, definitely giving Matt Laidlaw some heartburn.
More of this is what Indian needs. $21k for a base model is what I'm interested in. I honestly was ready to hate this motorcycle when I thought they were going to shoot for the moon, price wise.
Now, let's see now many Indian dealers will actually have a base model.....
Indian just upped the ante. Now let's see how HD and the rest of the motorcycle manufacturers respond. Indian, really nice features on this motorcycle. It pushes the envelope forward. I think it's good for the motorcycle world. It can only get better from here. Adam, great review. Looking forward to the rest of the videos on the Challenger.
Carlos Villanueva I agree next few years should be fun.
Hope to see this in a full tourer. I am moving towards a Goldwing, but this bike could pull me back to an American V-twin. Like the performance engine, water cooled, overhead cams, 120HP. A leap above HD. And to top it off, no cam chain tensioners to disintegrate in a cam chest to cause engine failure. Way to go!!
Aw, I think it's got it all over the Goldwing. I just gotta get over that HUGE front fairing. ???
Feeling the same. Was eying up the FB6 big time. Now.... Not so much
I’ll bet next year a full tour version of this bike shows up.
well there are not chain tensioner issues for years... i'm always puzzled why power junkies ride baggers but to each their own... i'll keep my road glide limited its liquid cooled also... has plenty of power for me with the 114 i hate the handlebars and front faring and yeah 6 gallons is nice harley has that already
@@TheRealStacker 2016 zero mile F6B under $12 right now...... 11.48 in the quarter..... Nimble as all get up and handles at speed like a boss ..... Gunna be hard to top that
I'm liking the Indian line up more and more!
Until Polaris shit cans it like the Victory....
@@gordiehattrick Unless they get out of making motorcycles altogether they're not going to kick Indian to the curb. They wanted to force all Victory riders towards Indian and that's why they killed Victory (huge mistake in my eyes). They've put a lot of money into resurrecting Indian and I think as long as they're making money they'll keep it going.
Adam such a pleasure to listen to a true motorcycle to a review you did well so many UA-cam phonies thanks so much
jim wortham Thanks for following the channel friend.
My Suzuki VL1500 had inverted forks and a rear monoshok back in 98. Thats about all it has in common. Good video bro.
Dude. Thank you for being respectable and mature about this bike. Matt laidlaw on the other hand was rediculous. Good job man.
Matt knows who butters his bread. Gotta tow that company line.
If you listened to Matt’s point he was spot on. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Indian is definitely going after their closest competitor by producing very similar bikes. Not hating. Great strategy on Indians part. I can respect that. Don’t like the Challenger though. Try putting risers and moto bars on it and I bet you’ll have issues with the infotainment being in the way. Just saying
No. He wasn't. Matt Laidlaw is a fanboy and was crying like a baby in that vid. It's a similar bike only in that it has a fixed fairing and V-twin. HD riders have this idea that any V-twin bike that competes against HD is copying. It's an entirely idiotic argument. The Challenger looks nothing like the outdated RoadGlide.
Tyler Kent. I wasn’t bashing but you must not have watched Matt’s video close enough. He makes some solid points. Like I said it’s respectable for Indian/Polaris to do so. If you think for one second that the Challenger is not directly coming after the RG then “idiotic argument” fits perfectly.
Wow WesPhly! I’ve grown up riding and have owned numerous brands in my time. I like a lot of things about the bike aside from the bars and fairing set up. That’s the “problem” with Harley bashers. No idea about real “riders” and their background before quickly judging due to their current ride. Don’t forget that the guy that made the video rides both brands. And BTW.... stop hating on Harley riders. Anyone that rides is part of a special brotherhood and ALL should be respected.
This is how you make an unbiased video, well done Adam. There are a few individuals out there that could learn a thing or two from you. Looking forward to more motorcycle news 👍
Oh and love your enthusiasm 😍
Mallen unbiased?? Sounded like a love fest to me! But then if I was flown to California for an event like that, I’d probably be biased.
Thank you. I surly am not going to say they were the first to create performance bagger but I will say they did a great job bring it to an OEM option.
Just wanted to give y’all the facts and looks so you can decide if it’s for you on your own.
So to get a well-equipped bike you will be paying up.
Thanks for the video. That was an amazing honor getting invited to the unveiling. It’s such a badass bike. I love the Darkhorse.
It’ll be interesting to see how many invited Moto-journalists follow the same praise-a-thon. Thanks for not comparing every single aspect to HD.
Wingdwolf 56 I’ve read a few and they seem to be saying the same.
Adam Sandoval I guess I’ll have to take a look at one then. Respect!
I’m not much into baggers, but this thing looks sharp! Good job Indian! Like those breaks too!
I love how Indian unveiled the bike around real motorcyclist and in a rad setting. No need for a duche bag to spray paint a bike given to him. Keep it going in the right direction.
Jason Moama is a Harley guy though.
Greetings Adam; As you frequently say "Dream until your dreams come true", I have been dreaming for the past 4 1/2 years and I am taking delivery of my 2020 TriGlide on Thursday 10/31! Let everyday be a holiday and every meal be a feast!
WSKeys1 congratulations
Pretty slick that on your 500 mile ride that you wore none of your usual recognizable gear. Indian taking no chances that some regular subscriber would spot you more easily during the "double super top secret" test ride.
Dave Beals 😉
It's so cool you got chosen to do this Adam! You are a great representative to the Indian brand.
I do truly feel blessed that the Moto world supports me the way they do.
I like it! I won’t be trading in my RG, but I like the look. Competition is a good thing for us as bikers, it will fuel innovation.
This,Harley will come back with answer .So on so on and consumer wins
Adam,
Congratulations on YOUR ACCEPTANCE as one WORTHY of being included with THE WORLD'S TOP MOTORCYCLE JOURNALISTS.
Adam...you are a World Class Professional..for sure...I have followed Scooter, Miss Ashley and you , since day 1 here on Utube.
Thank you for your being a Great American....
Dr.Phil

Phil 68-71 USN thanks for the very kind words friend
I guess I am the only one that thinks Indian kinda ripped off the Road Glide. Good review I look forward to hearing more. Thx.
Not the only one. Check out Matt Laidlaw's video about it.
Scott Stevens I'm embarrassed they can't even come up with original name. Indian should move their company to China lol
After failing with Victory Polaris wised up. First they ripped off the dead and buried Indian brand name and now they're ripping off Harley-Davidson. The Chief with the big ugly fenders was one thing, this Challenger Harley copy is another.
@@herbwag6456 so when Ford brings out a SUV and GM, Chrysler, et al also bring out a similar SUV are they just copies or is the manufacturer just selling what the market wants....Competition is a good thing, make a better product or die.
Hey Adam, first off I'm a US Army Veteran Who would like to say thank you for all your support to all branches of service police and first responders. Like you I was treated to a pre-release showing just last week and it was hard to keep my mouth shut too. Along with seeing the new challenger it was an honor for me to shake hands with and share a conversation with Mr. Steve Menneto at this event. Again thank you for all your support🇺🇸
Competition is always good! I hope this makes Harley step up their game a bit, cuz in the end it’s consumers who win
Take notes HD. This is how you treat someone who supports you and this is how you build a riders bike.
Samuel Jones 😂 Harley built this bike already, and they’ve been doing it since 1979. This is just another duplicated Harley in Indians line up.
Fantastic video!!! Thanks Adam. Well done.
Thanks man, was funny watching yours and you had shots of me but I couldn't say anything.
Adam Sandoval haha I figured everyone was under media embargo so I didn’t try to identify anyone and draw any unnecessary attention for people to deal with. Luck of the draw I found the guy on Facebook who’s from from Poland (I believe) who happened to be in Cali at the time and he was super cool to share the photos with me. He’s a HUGE reason why I just hit 10,000 subs so quick in the last week. I’m super grateful to that guy and Indian. Huge for me. Been at this UA-cam game for a few years now so I’m feeling great.
You are very sneaky Adam, are you gonna buy one?
im happy to see indian give Harley a run for their money, the competition will keep them on their toes and motivate innovation.
Not surprised to hear you were one of those guys in the pictures that everybody has been talking about for a few days now lol. Thanks for the info Adam.
They ain't cheap. After adding some performance packages (larger air filter, exhaust, bling) I was up to 43K! You can custom design them on their web site.
I wish I knew what’s a CVO Road Glide cost again?
Adam,Very nice intro to the new Indian challenger. You always do a great job of unbiased reviews. Again, Indian is going to take a big bite of market share with this new high tech high performance touring machine. We are living in exciting times in the motorcycle world thanks to Indian and Polaris. Great job Adam, can’t wait to hear and see your riding impressions!
SO NICE TO SEE INDIAN INTRODUCTION OF NEW MOTORCYCLES IN A ACTUAL GARAGE INSTEAD OF SOME BLACK TURTLE NECK IPHONE PENCIL NECK AUDITORIUM!
Paul Healey boy do I agree
I was dead set on thinking I would get the Springfield Darkhorse, but holy cow, this Challenger has everything I could ever want in a motorcycle, most of it standard. Might have to save up for 2020.
DerrpSHoT it’s definitely a different bike then the Springfield
@@adamsandoval Yup for sure, Road Glide is my favorite Harley but I also liked the looks of the Road King and Springfield. But the overall package of the Challenger just looks like it's so much bang for the buck, and I love the looks and larger gas tank, along with all the tech and liquid cooled engine.
I just keep watching and watching this video I'm very impressed with this beautiful bike I can't wait to put my hands on it, hopefully HD brings their game up because this bike is very very promising
This is super exciting. I have been asking Indian reps for years about when their fixed fairing bike would come out. Liquid cooled, performance based, is a welcome surprise! This will be an industry changing motorcycle.
An other style of motorcycling with a lot of luxury. Looks and ride as a car. My old shovelhead is vibrating, leaking oil, is capricious, maybe 65hp with a top speed of 80 miles. An alien between baggers, but what a satisfaction to be different.
Great video by the way, well made👍🇺🇸
CvA sOg the best sounding Harley motor ever made. People with m8s think they sound like a classic Harley
Glad someone is looking into liquid cooled engine... Vrod engine needs to come back
It didn't sell. Why would they bring back something that didnt sell? Harley tried, for 16 years to get it to sell. And no one bought it.
They tried for a decade and a half.
Now all of the sudden, that it's gone, everyone wants one?
Harley never made a sport bagger or tourer out of V-Rod although they had plenty of opportunity to do so. Some of us wanted them to do it but it didn't happen.
@@herbwag6456 Venturing into unknown Territory when no one else is, on a platform no one was buying is wishful thinkning from hindsight.
This isn't a realistic expectation.
Cris was a great engine. Sadly every time (most times) HD builds a performance bike they put those silly huge back tires with wild rake🤷🏼♂️ this is what the custom market has been doing and Indian paid attention for sure.
@@FranBunnyFFXII Not true, Japanese makers have been selling water cooled v-twin cruisers and sport baggers for years. I'll bet there was a prototype V-ROD bagger but it wasn't produced. Now Harley is caught with it's pants down!
Excellent video sir! That Challenger has won my heart!!!!!!
the innovation coming from Indian just keeps coming! cant wait to see one in person. I planned on keeping my Springfield Dark Horse forever, but maybe I need to trade up already!
What was the consensus of the group of riders❓ 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 ❓❓❓
Competition is good, glad to see Indian bring this to market! Thanks Adam, nice update! Ride safe my friend!
Willy's Performance Cycle Center, Since 1969 I did not hear much bad at all from the reporters. I think we all kind of agreed after 500 miles
Adam Sandoval..... that’s great to hear. I think this is a great introduction into the market. I’m in Murfreesboro, TN (Bumpas HD & Sloan’s Indian) two really great dealerships you can’t go wrong dealing with either of them. I seriously think this is my next bike. I rarely buy anything new, but this may be too good to wait on a ‘slightly used’ one to go on the market! Thanks again for the all the things you do for our Veterans! Ride safe.
Finally a liquid cool Bagger. I love the road glide but this bike looks amazing I can’t wait to see it in person. HD needs to step they game up besides putting a new paint on they bike every year. Indian bikes is nothing to sleep on they are going the right direction.
Looks like a lot of victory in the DNA in that bike.
I definitely see Victory influence making its way into the Indian brand. I was a Victory fan so i think that's a good thing! My Victory had mono shock suspension and inverted front end 14 years ago........too bad Victory didn't get more attention than they did.........they were actually pretty good bikes.
If I want a bike that looks like a Road Glide, I'll buy a Road Glide. PLEASE be Indian. We already have a Harley Davidson.
I like it , but not enough to trade in my 2015 victory magnum.
I think the motor is state of the art just like the Victory line Polaris still owns that’s out of production now in lieu of the Indian.
Harley-Davidson is a legacy brand that I love and own, but Harley only makes changes after everyone else does like the four valves per cylinder and air/oil cooling with the Milwaukee 8 engine. Harley could have liquid-cooled the M8 engine from the start across their line.
Frank Wood lol state of the art. The japanese motorcycle brands have been doing this for a long time!
Good job on the video Adam. Very well put together with all the info we would need.
Very excited to go ride one of these! Polaris finally made the bike that they promised Victory would make a few years back.
Thank you for putting out an awesome unbiased video, answered a lot of questions I had. And how cool was it to hang out in Carey Harts and Pinks garage! Love the Dixxon flannel btw!
Really nice people for sure.
Unbiased.....he just didnt name names we know what company he was talking about.
So Glad you were part of this Adam
Dude! Super jealous that you got to take the new Challenger on that epic ride! Love my Chieftain, but that’s an awesome looking scoot. May have to add it to my stable.
Enjoyed your introduction to this new bike !
Indian is going after every brand with this bike. It will get the others in gear to give more for their brand fans.
exactly. it isn't Indian vs. HD. It's Indian showing all brands that you need to listen to the riders and give them what they want. I love my HD but I would also love to have an Indian in my garage!
@@rbarrows5814 I bought the Roadmaster last November crate bike. The only complaint I have is I didn't wait till the 2020 bikes came out with the 116. lol I know don't really need that high power but us guys love more power. I do have to say the TS 111 is impressive even stock. tons of low-end torque that will shred off the rear tire on the go no front braking. I love my older Harleys but not a fan of the M8 I like the 103 and the CVO engines of that era.
Cave Man,.....I've been riding a 2019 Wing and a BMW k1600 and I don't seen anything here to get excited about.
this bike doesnt come close to the honda goldwing in performance or technology.
@@Chris_L034 Well that is your thoughts and I respect that.
Good job on supplying pertinent information. Your talking points are what previous (my self included) chieftain owners enjoyed hearing. And a huge congratulations on being able to spend time with the Hart family.
Looks like a great bike . I hope it’s successful though some models are pricey the base is a good price for what you get . Wish I could afford one . Look forward to more videos of your reviews on the new Indian .
I just purchased a 2020 Road Glide (First time Harley owner) and it is a fantastic machine. I l’m very curious to see the side by side comparison of the 2 not mention how Harley fights back on there future models. Thanks for a quick review of the Challenger looking forward to seeing more.
well i have a 2020 road glide limited and based on what i am seeing harley is cheaper 2 of three categories... and based on what i see it's a harley knock off unless you can't live without remote bag locks i would not trade my harley for one but if you like it ... well it's your money as for the reach everything can be done on the infotainment from the handlebars so not an issue
Steve Xaxa For one thing, this new challenger is nothing like a Harley! Just look at the power plant, high end suspension systems front and back, advanced infotainment, huge brakes, custom tires, six gallon fuel capacity, power windshield, all LED lighting, power remote bag locks, mono shock frame, tall boy seating, puddle lights.. 122 Horsepower liquid cooled. Wait until the tuners get their hands on it! I can see 150 horsepower or more!
@@paulhealey8221 Exactly! I was looking for my next MC to be a HD Road Glide too, but this Indian Challenger beats it in every category! They need to change the name to Indian Game Changer!
Im going to cry and hug my Road Glide....
I'll go hug my cat...
Good job Indian, you've raised the bagger bar a tad, now you're out of 3rd place and are in a solid 2nd! Keep up the good work!😉
Good looking bike. Love Indians. Keep up the good work
ASR staying true to the mission of helping Veterans and enhancing the motorcycling lifestyle.
Indian/Polaris stepping it up once again. Considering Indian’s Bagger competition was mainly with Harley Davidson obviously saw HD getting too comfortable. Years later new comers to Bagger market now sees the water-cooled 6 cylinder beasts of the BMW K1600 and Gold Wing Baggers. But purists want a V-Twin, and Indian sits strategically positioned to deliver that. This new Indian model should shake up the Bagger market once again. Water cooled has always been the optimal way to travel long distance and in creep along traffic, as the air cooled wreaked havoc and could became problematic over time. I think they found the recipe. Nice reveal here Adam.
Those brembros though 😁, can't deny i was impressed with the 6 gallon tank and other cool options.. waiting for your next video ☺️🤘🏽.
Brembos ha ha
Gotta get me one of those. I don't think Black Betty (that's my 2012 Fat Bobs name) would mind sharing the shed with such a cool stablemate. Love watching your videos, you truly are an inspiration to so many people.
It’s a winner for me. I really dig that machine. But I’m a little biased because I have a 2019 Road Glide so I like that fixed fairing and I honestly like the styling and hard edges. Just something different.
It is unique for sure
This is what I thought HD was going to do years ago with water cooled. Outside old school, inside new school. BTW Love PCH1 (Dramamine drive). The scenery is heaven.
Yes, why didn't H-D do this with the V--Rod motor?
Dramamine drive lol
my road glide is water cooled
@@herbwag6456 Because the HD idiots thought that water cooled shouldn't be on their touring models.. Oh, you said " Why didnt they?"...
@@gucci4871 Yes seriously, that is PCH1's nick name... Lots of curves:)
My Chieftain Classic might be for sale at my local Indian dealership very soon.
It would be a totally different look for you. Not only that, but the performance will shock you. Go for it. Price is a bit steep with the extra goodies will will probably want, but you only live once, right?
@@iwishiknew7713 the difference between my 2016 Street Glide and my 18' Chieftain was day and night, the way the Indian handles is a totally different experience. I can't wait to take a challenger for a ride. I've never rode anything with a fixed fairing before though.
Was gonna keep my Chieftain Limited forever too.........damn!
@@gtsteele6219 I know right!?
@@gtsteele6219 I know right? I went on the Indian site and created my own version of their touring bike. I'm up to $43,000 plus so far! I am now thinking the only extra I will need is a larger air filter and change the seat to a custom one.
I wasn't sure which way to go when I got a new bike. After riding a challenger I made my mind up. Indian built exactly what I've been wanting harley to build with the road glide but never did. Love the new challenger.
Wow Indian has really took it to a whole new level. And that price is very competitive as well. More than likely I will be buying an indian for my next bike
Cody Toothman Yes they are truly doing a stand up job
Now we know who was in those spy shots. I do like how the gauge cluster and infotainment is situated opposite from the Road Glide.
MAN, HOW'D YOU MANAGE TO BE THE VERY FIRST PERSON TO DO A VIDEO ON THIS BEAUTIFUL BIKE? YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!
Kenneth Wise I am truly bless to be able to be one of the first to ride it.
Thanks Adam. I will be watching every video. Keep them coming. I almost bought a Road Glide before ultimately commuting to my ‘14 Chieftain based on the engine pictures only.
Just glad your riding, 🇺🇸
Thanks. I’m grateful for every ride I get in. Riding is a very special thing to me.
Very interesting and informative video, thanks!
Sounds like a good travel bike.
That may be my next bike. That literally has everything I want. And a 6 gal tank. Wow
I am a fan of the adjustable windshield as well. come on HD, get with the times...
I think my 17 streetglide special may be a thing of the past!!!
@@dmartyair I think the both have a place on the road underneath 2 different types of riders.
For real.Nice bike.Minus fuel for fuel pump and sensor.More like 5.3 gallons.They never swallow the whole 6 gallons.
The BMW K1600 for the money is still beating the new Indian when it comes to features, power and electronics. It doesn’t have the same style, but if your looking for the best performance for your dollar then go with the BMW. I’ll also say BMW has the best hands down customer service you’ll ever get from any dealer. When I get mine serviced they give me a demo or any used bike they have that I may want to ride! I love knowing I don’t have to have someone pick me up.
Indian has totally killed it though if I was in the market for a Roadglide or any other Harley I’d spend my money on the new Challanger instead.
Just took a test ride in New Jersey.
Damn kick ass bike!
Demo truck has 2
Harley Camper yea it’s wicked
I like where this is going. Strong competition is good for the consumer. And this bike makes me less grumpy at Polaris for pulling Victory....just a little.
Being a S&S customer I like the horse power numbers right out of the gate! 👌
I agree you do not have to put a stage 1 stage 2 say 3 excetera to make it go
I usually favor Harley’s and I see the shit talking on the internet about Indian ...but I like this model looks really good from the side I think... and if it’s lighter and faster and stop better who can hate that
Heck yeah! You were there all along! I wondered who the faces were behind the helmets. Lol.
LOL it was hard to keep my mouth shut.... 🤐
I saw Gears and Gadget’s video talking about a pack of Challengers going down Hwy 1 and I figured you’d be there. Beautiful bike! Indian is smart, they listen to the custom market AND they know who to use to get the word out. I hope to see a long and fruitful relationship between you two.
Awesome man go team Indian
From a Harley Limited rider this bike is growing on me more & more . I’m gonna wait for a tour pak Edition however 👍
Great review, seems to be a very impressive ride. Good to see Indian stepping up their game. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎🇺🇸.
Thank you Adam. I love it! I cannot wait to ride it!
As an HD fan boy and sick of the Indian doing the ME TOO upgrades I really like this bike and cant wait to test ride one.. Only question is LEGENDS doing a suspension for it.... Don't know If I would want a touring bike without it...
Thank you so much for this video. It's really well done
The thing that’s gonna kill this bike from selling big is not having proper position for aftermarket bars and risers
This thing is sweet! Literally everything i wanted Victory to do.
Nothing Eric Buell could not have done had Harley not shit canned him ...and spent Millions shutting down Buell Google it .. was many millions like $100 Million if I can recall or $300 Million .. I don't remember..
Powerplus motor was designed to be Victory originally I read!!!!
Wheres Victory now.....lol
@@deanfraser6609 Polaris planned to continue Victory but Indian sold so much better they discontinue that line WHERE IS BUELL ????
@@mikeskidmore6754 touche lol, but Buell / HD got 150hp out of an air cooled V twin so this new engine from Indian isnt all that exciting and I bet the Buell didnt even have BremBRO brakes
Love your reviews honest about pros and cons. Appreciate your bike ethusiastion. You definitely help me make decisions about spending my hard earned money wisely. Thank you
Thank you Adam for the great information on the new Indian Challenger
Been thinking about Indian for the last two years and this Challenger is eye candy.
Look great. I got a 2020 dark horse in red smoke and trade the 2019 in. Hope to get the the Challenger to add to the garage.
Please contact me directly so i can buy your Challenger next year. It sounds like you trade up yearly. LOL
As a mechanic my only gripe with the Victory and Indian bikes is that the transmission is internal to the engine case. What that means is if the transmission EVER needs servicing you're splitting the cases to gain access to it and that's gonna be very expensive. Harley Davidson has managed to keep theirs separated from the engine and no "splitting of the cases" is required to gain access to the gearbox. Might not be a big deal to most people but I like my stuff separated.
Well, I rode all the other Indian model's cant wait to ride this one, I am sure the heat coming off the heads will be cooler than the older models. If so I may own one.
Put my money down on one today in Shreveport Louisiana. White dark horse, will be here in a few weeks.
Congrats, man!
Curious, did you add larger air filter for performance? Did you add any other performance packages that are available? I am weary of the price. Hope you don't mind but what was the approx cost without financing?
Congratulations
Congratulations mate
@@adamsandoval did you get to try the mid rise handle bars? And if so how did you like them?
Great unbiased video Adam! Love the new Indian!
I am stoked to take this bike out for a test ride!!
Love the bike ! But if the cost over $20,000 it's out of my price range !😕
Good for Indian you're getting a better bike for the money. I love HD but they don't give you anything close to this for the price. HD better up their game before Indian takes their base. I have a 2017 RG and my buddy has the Indian chieftain, we swapped bikes one day on our group ride and that bike was hands down a better ride than my RG. My bike is stock, I can't afford any upgrades but I would love to upgrade the suspension but that chieftain suspension was amazing and it was the stock Fox suspension. Their was no vibration in the engine and it had great performance with awesome electronics. I see a lot of people bombing these bikes because they're owned by Polaris and supposedly copying HD but I think it's great for the consumer. I still think my RG looks better and I love the fixed fairing and im seriously considering the Indian challenger.
I'm guessing you won't regret it if you swap your RG for a Challenger.
I'm loving this bike !!!!!they did a great job!!!! HD cant wait to see how they compete with these prices, bar none way affordable with more luxuries
you can see harley has three versions of road glide and 2 out of three versions harley is cheaper
Steve Xaxa hate to break it to you but the Challenger starts at 21,999 and the cheapest RG starts at 26,999.
Killin it in the Dixxon flannel. Best flannels ever made by a human 🤙🏼
A “bagger” is something you leave the bar with @ 2:00 am not something you ride everyday. A dresser is something you can be proud for your buddies you with
I'm liking all but the handlebars. Not much room for customizing there. Other than that, I love it.
Reviewed like a true enthusiast. I'm still a bitter owner of Victory but I think Polarass pulled me back in.
You fibbed when you got back from that ride. I totally understand why. Thanks for all you do.
This bike raises the bar in its segment, but Challenger reminds me of the space shuttle explosion. Maybe it's just me but I would have chose something else.
