I got a joke for you guys while we wait. Who built King Arthurs roundtable?
Sir Cumference...
Your dad joke is strong 💪
Love it, totally saving this one 😂
That is loveably cheesy :)
@@BlockheadMoto would this bike be good for a beginner?
🤣
Harley:. Jason Momoa
Indian: Sends all the best moto vloggers on a majestic trip and watches as they do their thing!!!
This was such an amazing time! Your video captured the trip perfectly! There was literally a “want” for nothing! (Except maybe a bit warmer weather) I had so much fun riding with everyone! And to clarify. I called my bike “Grandpa” because I was straight chillin on that thing! 😅
Her two wheels ..... your video was stunning too! Excellent coverage of Grandpa! Ride safe Jess...
haha nice just saw this finally and it was after seing your video
I love the New Indian chief
Y’all are 👍🏿👍🏿
I bought the stealth gray Indian chief darkhorse and have forward controls and mini apes on order. Awesome bike!
I am considering the Stealth Gray color as well, think I'll be doing forward controls with floorboards and the 1920 Solo Seat.
Just ordered the 2022 Cheif Darkhorse. I'm sooo freakin excited
Brought my first bike home today...2021 softail standard! Thank you blockhead for all your content and inspiration that helped me pull the trigger on this!
An exciting feeling - congrats!
Best possible choice from HD imo. Gratz dude! Nice choice!
Jealous... i bought a vstrom 650 for my first, now, after 5000 miles, I'm ready for some of that HD Love !!
Just made my last child support payment !! LET'S GOOOO 🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
I took the super chief out for a couple rides in Ocala. It's a great ride. You do sit forward a tad bit at 5'10". I had the 116 which was pretty powerful for a small bike. The control was made easy for the rider by Indian. Just about everything you could improve from the last Chief was done. There wasn't anything I didn't like on the bike. The new controller was great! Indian is doing everything that HD should be doing but refuses.
That gauge cluster looks very nest home thermostat looking! Does look cool though, loving that paint color!!!
Man that sagebush green looks clean. Indian kicking all the goals for me. LOVE IT!
Awesome video. Ever since I saw these bikes drop, I've wanted one. I don't ride yet but when I do I think will be the bike. Except with forward controls as I am 6'2 209lbs lol. Keep making great videos and stay safe out there! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
That thing looks niiiiiiiiice
the more they try to look like harlys the better they look XD
Looks better than a harley
@@kippmiller4139 nah it looks like a cheap copy
Yo Jake ....🤩
@@kippmiller4139 Harley is the KING ....aged ok ...
That bike is sick looking! Can't wait to see one in person. Keep up the good work and videos blockhead. Thanks for all you do for us out here buddy.
Ahh, 89A out of Sedona into Cottonwood, up to Jerome, up over Mingus Mountain into Prescott. Now you ARE in my old stomping grounds. Great riding, great views, great food.
Sharp looking bike. Like the wheels for sure. Some fellow riders and I saw a road runner in the Arkansas Ozarks. We spooked it and it ran between bikes. When we stopped, we were like "Was that a road runner????". It was indeed.
Glad they got people like yourself, HerTwoWheels, and Killswitch Queen out for this.
You know, actually cruiser riders! A lot more in touch than putting Walterific on a Ultra Classic.
Better be ready to pay the price putting walterrific on an ultra classic. Win win for the community
This was an AWESOME REVIEW!!! Guy below NAILS IT.....Harley pays Jason Mamoa a couple million bucks and I saw the dude take spray paint to a Harley that anyone would give their right arm for (And not only that, they cut loose Adam Sandoval a year ago, the guy traveled around the country for 4 YEARS promoting your brand in the highest light!!).....Indian spends less than 50-100k and brings 20 of the most popular UA-camrs and turn them loose....THIS IS HOW ITS DONE!!! While I literally JUST BOUGHT a Brand new Road Glide, I sure as hell wish Harley treated people like Indian does!!!
3:13 ( cartoon noises ) See, this is why I come here. Crisp High-Five my friend!
The frame reminds me of an FXR. A good thing. They are strong.
For scientific moto studies & reasonings hopefully next time your able to bring BaggerBro into the mix, so we all can enjoy, I mean collect data on the Blockhead and Baggerbro Experience!
I'm not trading in my Harley I'm not trading in my Harley I'm not trading in my Harley... But man this makes me want to
We only living twice!
Get the nicest, fastest, best motorcycle you can afford. The grin factor when you ride a highly refined motorcycle with all the modern features, and a really well tuned engine, is pure bliss. One thing about the Indian bikes, is they have incredibly good engines with a ton of power. Power makes for smiles.
Give it a couple years and you might. The only thing that's gonna hold Indian back is the availability of after market accessories. Even Hondas suffer in this regard (I have several items on my Shadow which were made for Sportsters and I had to modify them). Harley definitely has the market cornered when it comes to being able to customize their bikes....so much so that they're actually designed for it. That's why Harley engines are turned way down in terms of usable power. When Indian sells enough bikes that private companies start manufacturing more accessories at a palpable price, there won't really be any reason to own a Harley over an Indian anymore.
always always always remember; Indian shut down three times after the brand was revived. Polaris may back them now, but they also did Victory. Victory is a memory.
@@deangullberry5148 It would have been silly for Polaris to have two competing lines of motorcycles. Indian has name recognition Victory hadn’t gained that much yet. I can understand why they made the change. I forget which Victory was rebadged to become the Challenger. The Octane became the Scout. The Indian Chief didn’t really look very good. Making this new style for the bike was a solid move. I don’t think Indian will be going anywhere.
With all the bullshit people calling for cancel culture of well established business I'm glad Indian didn't become a casualty and I am a Harley Davidson Guy, but I don't think any business deserves to be shut down or changed because people are offended.
Brandon gave you a nod. Gonna be checking out his entire list of reviewers / utubers he mentioned.
Of course Ive already been a fan of yours for a couple years now. My how you're growing;)
Hopefully Brandon can too.
Y'all are both cool cats in my book
Victory Judge reborn! I love it.
My thoughts too. I have a Judge in nuclear sunset matte paint. It was a dark horse in 2013. The four gallon tank on this bike looks better than the five gallon tanks on the Victory steel frame.
Now your talking.. polaris had me with the victory.. there own built bike and brand and style.. they sold there own name to buy someone else's.. what a shame
Indian bobber my favorite, but this pretty cool. Making it harder for my second bike
I smashed that sub button right after you said you were going to ride it with forwards and a stage 2! At 5'6", I'm really digging the new Chief lineup and can't wait to hit up my local dealer when they have a demo day this April!
Oh that bike 😩 I want my own now! Great take on it block
Love those Indian motorcycles!
They just keep getting better and better!!
A really good quick overview based on some solid riding for 100 miles. Well done.
Really sharp-looking bike. I like that grey color too.
Forwards are a definite plus for longer rides for guys with a little longer inseam.
That scenery is to die for.
Great vid brother.
I've scraped the 2 into 1 on my challenger a few times riding, bike is so easy to ride and throw around, but gotta be aware for sure.
I'm usually not a fan of displays that look like hockey pucks BUT this one actually looks decent when it's on. Beautiful bike, my dude 👌
Love that ride between Prescott and Jerome, always fun and very scenic. BTW never let a local hear you pronounce it press- scott, they will look at you like you have 3 heads.
How is it pronounced?
Great review and super of Indian to have you all out there in Sedona to ride these bikes! Can’t wait to see one and test ride it at the local dealer. Ride safe brother!
Was looking for a vintage FXR may change my mind . Really like this bike thanks to your very well produced video. Thanks
Love that video! What an opportunity for you all. Thank you for the video and your reviews and thoughts! I’m a Harley gal.... but wow those are nice looking!
Harley: no more dyna...
Indian: let's make a dyna!!!
Love this new Polaris Dyna !!
But better
Well there is a dyna-ish bike, low rider s is a pretty damn close minus the larger front rake
Closer comparison is the HD Slim - comparing the two sets of specs, it's a close copy of the Slim.
@@youmustbethistall5861 my thoughts exactly
Congratulations 👍 to Blockhead on going from a gun instructor to You Tube motorcycle critic. And just think, it all started with him having bought & learned to drive his first bike, a Harley 883 Iron!!!
I find his remarks to be some of the most real & informative.
Yo Blockhead, Jess and you are having way too much fun. You both deserve it I know how much work you put into your videos. Keep the shiny side up
Great video. But mainly I was just happy to have the fist bump noise back!!!
Nice job Block! That bike looks awesome and seems to run just as well! Definitely going to be my second bike in the garage! Indian has really stepped up it’s game since launch! The quality on the latest models is outstanding!
Love the one Brandon Bicasso riding! Sounds good
Indian needs to hire you as their sales consultant. Awesome informative coverage of the bike. Gonna test ride one now and may be add one to my garage.
This is great , especially your conversation with Her two wheels.
Really looking forward to the 116 stage 2 review!
Being a Victory owner...this bike looks like it’s a crossbreed of the Victory Vegas and the Victory Gunner, minus a mono shock. If you look at 2016 Vegas when the brought the round headlight in, you can definitely see the resemblance between that and the Chief Dark Horse. I’m liking it. Once I decide to move on from my Victory Magnum, Indian is looking like it’s in my future.
Also, awesome vids Blockhead. You’re killin’ it!
Looking forward to test riding this in few weeks; thank you for sharing your experience.
I'm not super well versed in Harley models but it seems like this is Indian's version of the Dyna! Indian just keeps on putting out amazing stuff, the scout when it came out was the bike that got me interested in motorcycles and the scout bobber is one of my dream bikes
I so can’t wait to hear which bike you like better This or the FTR
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ride in Arizona, shout out to Indian Motorcycles for giving you this opportunity 👍 Really a beautiful bike. Love riding Arizona 😎 Great video , keep it live !
I really loved the chief dark horse you was riding. I love that smoke blue color. I truly believe the 116 cubic inch engine would be so fun to handle, for a smooth ride.
Love that grey.
Underused color on motorcycles honestly
My least favorite color on any vehicle made. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Great review..first of you vids that I've seen and am impressed, hence I have now subscribed.
@Blockhead How does this bike compare to the Low Rider S? I know you mentioned you would likely be purchasing the Chief. If you had to pick between the Low Rider S and the Chief, which do you think would win out, and why?
Thanks, love your videos!
Chief Dark Horse - My next bike. Great vid, great review, great production!
Got a '21 Silverado Z71 Trail Boss (blacked out) and a '19 Blazer Premier (blacked out) in the garage and looking to get this next year as a retirement present to myself after 24yrs in Army and USAF finishes next October ('23). It was between the Scout Bobber and this one but the Scout Bobber seems smaller/shorter and, being 6'4, gotta go with bigger/higher option... Chief Dark Horse it is then... blacked out of course. Can't wait... and thanks for these cool videos. Already saved your instructional ones for when I test--brilliantly put together for new riders such as myself, much appreciated.
(Just noticed you mentioned mid not forward controls but the option to have forward controls so, again... 6'4, gotta go with forward controls then for me.)
Oh and... 15:22... beautiful shot of it.
Imagine that. You make the best possible motorcycle, without cutting any corners, and giving people the best quality, and best engineering, and the people buy the product, and they tell others to buy the product! Harley doesn't deserve people's money, because their approach has been based on marketing, and greed. Indian build quality and engineering is outstanding.
Great job Block. I have to say they did a really nice job on design of the Chief. And the colors are beautiful. I'd definitely go for the bobber version with apes and forwards. Plus I want that ride command on my Springfield Darkhorse pronto💥
This one was really nice! I’m looking forward to buying this one as my 1st bike
The devil inside of me wanted indian to put the powerstroke in it, or at least be an options. That would have turning it into such a fun monster to ride!
Glad you enjoyed it in my AZ back yard! Now that I’m retired from active duty, I ride up there every week!
I test rode this as i was looking for my first cruiser, and i couldn't get over the shaking.
Great video, thanks for the review, excellent views of Arizona, awesome music.
Great Review and I agree, Indian have a real cruiser contender with the Chief.
Thank you for the review, Block. I have been contemplating this bike for about two weeks. I like it a lot
Pretty cool bikes, that digital display looks really cool
That bike in front of you looks and sounds badass bro!!
Great Video(s). Great Bikes, great Views. Best greets from Switzerland.
Good job Blockhead! Keep those videos coming bro, keep 'em coming.
Great review! Love the looks, Indian has hit it out of the park with this bike!
Damn it Blockhead! I just paid off my sportster and now I want one of these. I need to win a small lottery lol.
I haven't tried out the Darkhorse yet, but I gotta give it a shot, great video Brother 💯👊🏼😎
I live about 180 miles from Sedona and really enjoy riding in the back way from Prescott through Jerome and down to Sedona...great road..great ride ! Oh and I'd live to be able to afford a new Indian Chief nice bike !!
I dig the looks of the Chief! Great video Block!
I can’t wait to see you ride the stage2 chief🤙🏽
It looks like my dream bike is even better than I thought
This trip looks like an absolute dream
Blockhead....as always, another great review. It is definitely a nice bike....
Excellent media doc and review. Looks like a great starter bike with smart colors.
Loved the video man ive been looking into getting a bike and i was stuck on the Fat Bob 114 or the Darkhorse and with all the extra features and lower price the indian is the clear choice for me with forward pegs and floorboards. thanks for the info you got a sub in me
Blockhead
Dude I can't to see one of those bikes in your garage. I think the Chief darkhorse would compliment Goldzilla quite well.
i love that route I take 89 down to sedona and then that route through jerome up to the 40 and home
Awesome review Blockhead!
I love my 06 Dyna and was debating getting the new softail Dyna but this is taking my fancy a bit 😅
I have a highball and rode LA to grand canyon and back. No issues with the wind. These look great though!
I see some of the Victory bike in the Chief, a line Polaris should NOT have eliminated, as it was a fine line.
Victory bikes were a serious challenge & alternative to a Harley.
This Chief may be Victory in disguise.
Damn Bike looks great, the landscape for riding there...Wow
Does look great, amazing video man! To bad I'm 6'6". Probably one of their best looking bikes so far.
Watch the review by Cycle World, the dude that test rides it is 6’7” and he gives a great review for tall riders
I'm going to be checking these myself. I've been riding for 50 years, and I'm on a 2012 Heritage Softail right now. I need to see if the difference is worth the price.
I hear the same consistent comments about Indian bikes, Sport mode is the best mode they have.
Rear fender needs to be chopped. I love the apes on the other bike. I did the same on my 2021 Slim and a mustang tripper seat. The high rise back support and forward controls make the ride so much better for me. I love that landscape of the ride 💪
I like to see you on the 111 and hear about the power difference
Nice bike. Thanks for all the hard work...hehe. Looking forward to more.
Hooah
Also designed by a professional bike builder.
You bet your ass its gonna be able to be turned into whatever you can imagine.
Also has a lowered-into-frame motor placement to aid in stability and cornering. (Noticed you getting more comfortable flicking it later in the video!)
That's a dang good looking blue color
Thanks @Blockhead!
Many other people and UA-camrs, including Shadetree, think that the only way that Polaris and Indian are successful is that it has to beat Harley-Davidson straight up in sales, merchandise, etc. The only thing that Indian has to do really is to sell enough motorcycles to make HD nervous. We have seen this happen with the scout lineup, it did well enough to merit a Softail competitor in the Indian chief. Hopefully, this sells well enough, to light a fire in the ass of Harley to make better bikes.
Great looking bike, great looking trip. So jealous.
Love it! I’m so into this bike. Hopefully some day soon!
Went to a bike event yesterday. I saw 1 Indian. The rest were Harleys. Easily over 100 bikes in total. I had no idea Indian had it so hard
Sedona is beautiful this time of year, the new Indians look damn good
