mirrors are bad, i have the same issue. replaced with some bar end mirrors and is 100 times better. i got used to them prettty fast. i have them pointed upwards i think they offer maximum image visibility this way. if you have the SE model like i do you wanna replace the mirror adaptor with a short screw it the right side cause it holds the usb-c charger kit ( if you wanna replace the adaptors in the firstplace right.) thanx for the video, i really enjoy my eliminator, got it less than a week ago and its a pretty easy to ride and handle bike. first realy bike too, coming from mainly scooters.

is it a ok beginner bike

Which Engine in this car .?

I have the 2022 FTR Standard souped to the max & a 2023 Sport Chief with the Stage 2 perf w/the Freedom 2-1 exhaust & one of the things about Indian motorcycles that is absolutely amazing is the way they make their power. The torque on all of their different motors is available along the entire rpm range. Everything feels so premium & even with the tech options like ABS, Wheelie mitigation (turn this off lolz), and traction control you really never notice them because you always feel so in control of the machine. Both of the bikes I bought are a result of Indian listening to their customers. They fixed ALL the issues the 2019 FTR had with the 2022 model(seat height, wheel rake, tire size, cold start, throttle response) & the Sport Chief is basically just a beefy Chief with everyone's wish list of factory upgrades (dual front brembos, inverted forks, sexy & useful fairing, raised bars, perfect tire sizes, fox shox, comfy seats). So I voted for Indian with my dollars because I watched this company(Polaris) resurrect the brand & how they listen to their customers & just focus on making AMAZING bikes. The Scout 101 is basically the same treatment for their Scout, which was the original model I was going to buy before I decided to get the FTR instead since I came from a dirt bike & sport bike background. You CANNOT go wrong with any of their bikes, they are all being made with love & passion for riding. That all said, I do ride my FTR more than the Chief & as cool as the tech thingy on my Chief is, you don't really need that stuff so you can save a buck by getting the standard versions & just adding the other upgrades yourself like I did with my FTR. P.S. If you live in cool state(like mine: Utah) the hand warmers are SOOOOO nice, get them, sell a kidney if you have to, but get them.

I regret purchasing mine. The fact that your only limited to one handle bar configuration ruined the whole bike. Sure you can make a few phone calls and pay a lot of money, but the fact you can’t go to Indian and put a set of handle bars on it makes this thing not worth it, go with the bobber then you can change anything you want from the factory

I just found this bike i was gonna go with a really nice looking cheaper Chinese 200cc bike it's very nice and clean and has a following in america it's 2,900 this bmw 300cc is like double that so idk but so far by visuals and it's features and such it sounds like a great bike. Is it really folks???? First off the brake light at the end of the tail light thats a no no why would bmw do that instead of putting it right after the seat like normal sport bikes. Also a dam exhaust for sure either full exhaust or a slip on.

Simonis Ranch

Already I did advance payment last weekend, I hope can ride my first bike, I never have one before. I can’t wait for… it’s so nervous but exiting at same time.

noice

Aww it seems no one gives af

man, let's team up and do something ugly for 2x sport chiefs.

Is it welded on or bolted on?

I got the z900rs se. The throttle is a bit snatchy but other than that I’m totally in love. It’s like falling for a Latina. Sexy, but spicy.

How reliable are these engines? Deciding between this and an sv650

That can’t be the stock exhaust

I've got a 23 Goldwing and just picked a 2024 Vulcan S for fun. I've had it a week and the Goldwing remains untouched. Trying to get the run in completed quickly so i can get some new oil in her and get really going.

You can't beat a rice burner

I put Grip Puppies on mine. Real easy to put on and that is exactly what it needed. Twenty bucks on Amazon. One of our motorcycle officers told me he uses them and loves them

I have this bike, been riding over 20 years and usually had supernakes; think Tuono, Speed Triple, SuperDuke... and can say this bike will hold it's own on the street. Slip on wont do anything but an Akra header with stock can sounds amazing, with the benefit of weight loss and added power. ECU flash, bore the airbox, KN air filter and now the throttle is less on/off and at least 10 more ponies and 5lbs torque. Trash the stock tires, put on your fave stickies or ST tires. (st for the street is all i ever run) Swap the rear shock for an Ohlins and fork cartridges in the front and now we're talking. Brembos up front with steel braided lines and now you have a true sleeper. And it sounds mean. That 948 engine is a real gem. Love the 80's looks. Solid build and reliability. Great bike all around but it does need a few mods to unleash it's true potential, maybe not all i mention but def tires and ECU flash to start with.

What is the exhaust setup? Sounds good af!

Hey I know this is the wrong video to comment on because this is bike content. But I saw your comment on a Kia forte gt video and you said you had a catted downpipe and just was wondering what kind you had?

Nice gay review

If im 5"3, would this bike be a fit for me as my first motorcycle?

Go south in Amish country or north around s Brandywine/cle metro parks for some solid hills, twists ‘n turns and incredible scenery

Kawasaki got to give you some endorsements now 😆 , you just helped me make my mind up between this or the Vulcan. I am a beginner, only “practice” I had was some parking lot action with a 1000cc GSXR. Not bad experience but that throttle was a bit touchy for me but did basic maneuvers pretty well😂. Good video, much appreciated 🤙🏽

I think it looks beautiful

You never mentioned the forward controls...

If this bike comes in a 1200cc, Indian, HD and Honda get some real competition...

Very nice

Love this bike!

Clutch travel is total trash. Stall city.

I'm glad this style of test ride videos are picking up again on KZbin. For awhile the test rides on biker channels were a bit outdated - especially when it comes to cruisers. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to the Vulcan S ride. Always wanted one of those.

Do you think this is too much power for someone who is brand new never been on a bike? The Yamaha r3 is also very beginner but it's alot lower in CC. I think as I get more comfortable I will get bored of the r3

I have a 23 ABS I’m 5’7” 175 lb both feet firmly planted it’s a decent bike for the money and plenty fast enough.

I believe that the 650RS is the perfect platform for that motor. Like the 900RS too. That is one great bike. I owned a MT07 but I traded it in on a ZX4RR because I was tired of parallel twins. I owned a 2012 Triumph 865 360 crank and it had the best sound. Then they went to a 270 crank and just ruined the sound for me. It was a very heave little bike. I road it a lot and made a cafe racer out of it but that big tank just didn't look right. Now that ZX4RR is a blast to ride. I owned a 1975 Z900 back in the day so I have been around awhile and owned a lot of bikes. I currently own a 2022 Heritage Classic, a 2018 Iron 1200, a 2023 ZX4RR, a 2015 XT250 and my project bike a 1965 Triumph TR6 120 hard tail chopper with a girder front end and a 21 inch spook wheel. I've had it for about 35 years.

Harley calls it a sport bike not a cruiser on the website.

Great video man keep it up

This bike can do literally anything

Lovely bike ! Nice Vlog 👍

Can you stand on the footpegs while riding?

damn you're 6'2 and you rode the lowered seat too, wild. I think you'd be extra comfy on the normal seat

Swap those mirrors around

That’s a great little bike, had it for a year. It does tend to stall, so it probably wasn’t you.

Nice preview of the bike! Looks like it was a fun event :)

Is there any wielding to do to install an axle back on a Q50?

Best beginner sport bike is the Aprilia RS 660.

Tryna upgrade to this from 2024 Grom

Medina Ohio? Im over in Mentor! i just put my down payment on one!

Finally a big guy on it so I can judge if it’s for me.

I bought this bike 2 months ago
