2020 Indian Challenger First Ride + Review - IT GETS SIDEWAYS!

[@travispercell6040]

My 2021 Challenger will spin with me on it, but with my wife, I can pull it easy. Had the tour bag on the back, and she stood STRAIGHT UP. This bike is so smooth, comfy and a HD eater. Great video!

[@OCRMIG]

Finally a demo ride that shows what this bike can do

Man seriously

@@Dankwheelie You ride like an idiot. I hope that the dealership sees this video and not only bans you from demo riding their bikes but let the surrounding dealers know who you are for a heads up.

[@hillbillyhicks8102]

@@Sig721Tau You say he rides like an idiot. I say he rides like he has a given skill set. The only way to see what the bike can do is to put it threw the paces. I think he rode it like most people wish they could ride a big bagger. I don't think it calls for you to call him an idiot just because you don't agree with it. It's really know ones business how he rides.

This was by far the best review of this bike I have seen since they released even rumors of it. As a guy who grew up riding street bikes, to now being old and riding cruisers, this is the exact way I ride my sh!t. Thank you.

[@justingrabowski6142]

"whole lotta big momma to slow down😂" I love what you do keep it up

[@davonmulder5272]

Oooohhh mama!

[@Michael-qf8rg]

An excellent review. Fun to watch. Very different from most as it truly shows the bike’s capabilities. Impressive riding skills and an impressive 800 lb bagger.

[@raywatson6522]

Need some 3rd person view vids of testing the traction control when it's off 👌

[@tyslife1798]

Now this is how you test ride a bagger!!!

[@jay7066]

FINALLY, a test ride we want to see! Ride it like you stole it! Thank you!

[@arcandarnold8084]

This is how more people need to test drive cruisers. I sold harleys for a while so I got to ride all the new bikes very often. And as an 18 year old kid whipping new harleys I could never afford you know I found out what all those bikes were capable of.

[@deliriumsyrup]

Now that's how you ride the challenger great vid bro!!

[@UltimateCARNUT]

As a former sportbike rider, this is exactly how I wanted someone to ride this bike like on their review.

[@carsendamoto3140]

Yo the part when u said are u sure u want traction control off and you cut to you fish tailing it bro had me dead hilarious

[@Subourbondelinquent]

Best Indian challenger Test ride ever

[@FishWhistleJesse]

I’ve been wanting to rip one soooooo bad! Still think I want the chieftain more though... seems like it would be hella fun to wheelie

[@ibuiltmineo1oo]

Man! You sold me on it. My Stratoliner is like this bike, but getting a little dated, so time to upgrade. Thanks!

[@corbinroberts949]

Great vid, I'm actually considering this bike

[@fsas190]

My Indian FTR does the same weird pop at 6:17 when you every so slightly, yet quickly crack the throttle. Damn factory tune

[@mattshaggs2931]

That's exactly it. My factory tune Stage 2 111 would do that. Threw on a PCVX with Fuel Moto tune and it's gone.

[@anthonyskrzec6881]

Nice im liking it better then the road glide seems more powerful and its cheaper

[@johnappleskrook792]

I love your test rides you actually push the bikes to the limits

[@jordanbuntenbach9818]

That intro gets me every time 😂

YOUUUUU might as well add this to the line up ;)

[@patty2wheels]

“This the wheelie road you know what’s happening” 💪🏻🤣🤣gotta love it

[@levidavid09]

I believe what happened at 6:18 was one cylinder had deactivated to cool the motor down and when ripped a fist full throttle you woke it back up and made it spark knock. Next time give a lil rev, wait, then twist it on back.

Great review. I just made a deal to pick one up tomorrow. This video makes me even more excited to get it

[@moto-]

Awesome video brother keep it up and much support take care and happy New Years

[@nyinfamous2k2]

DUDE, I love your test ride style. I feel you about other test riders mopeding around on the bikes. I want to see how the thing does in the real world. Im also a sport bike rider with 25yrs exp. 10 on sport bikes and converted to muscle cruisers a few yrs ago. Just picked up a Victory Bagger and Love it. I ride all my bikes like sport bikes bc , these new cruisers and baggers are engineered to be able to take the abuse. its just that much more fun railing turns and banging thru traffic on cruisers IMO.

[@TheSupraman157]

Lovin the daily content keep it up... dankfam!

[@maguirescott143]

My dad can pop little wheelies on his gold wing 😂

[@godackgudalach1]

At 6:25 is the part you're looking for in this video! Haha great video man!

[@2fuzzies]

Best demo ride I've seen. All the other ones just mosey around. Its a performance bagger, therefore it is your duty to see what it can do. I currently ride a 2010 victory cross country, before that a 2003 R1. I tend to ride my Vic like a sport bike. My floorboards would agree too. I pass crusiers/baggers on the twisties, followed by my friends yelling at me "its not your r1!" It was quite a change going from 400lb sport bike to a 800lb bagger. However, the heavy bike handles extremely well. I really miss the R1. Ride safe.

[@antgets6167]

Dude you really remind me of myself when I was younger. Your videos are actually inspiring and I can deal with not having a bike anymore my my last was a ZX 6 in 2010

[@shrappy7705]

I LOVE my challenger! Few issues with infotainment system but it’s got a ton of power.

[@mattmurdock80]

That's the video of the challenger I've been waiting for. Thanks for showing what that beast is capable of. Next video on this bike needs a drag race with a road glide!

[@roadglide128]

I thought I was the only one who let's them big boys eat.. what a ripper gotta try the cvo 117 now !!

[@tomedwards159]

i don't think they will demo a CVO, but would be interesting to do a road glide.

3:06 BRUH XD

[@echoplayz6657]

I love your videos❤️

[@briankrasne3518]

That's why Indians are better quality cruisers then Harleys in my opinion cause Harleys are shaky af . On an Indian they got everything figured out. This is coming from a someone who rides a vmax!

[@3dee106]

Finally someone to test the Challenger properly. Great job.

[@pin75us1]

Best review of the challenger on KZbin! Rode it like I ride my scout. This is my next bike. If you haven’t ridden a Scout please do. You’ll have tons of fun on it the way you ride.

[@jimtomstimpson1477]

Wow! you really ripped it. Great job showing what this thing will do. I am very excited to test ride this bike.

[@Steve-ec6ed]

so much for the break-in period

[@Far2hip]

Funny, people don’t realize that in research testing these bikes go through FAR more aggressive riding to be sure all materials can stand up to this sort of heavy handed use and stay safe. If I was the folks at Indian, I would GIVE this guy a Challenger of his choice for showing the capabilities of this bike and giving such a ringing endorsement coming from a sport bike enthusiast. At some point folks want to take that real long ride and want to do it in comfort. Feeling like you wouldn’t be giving up as much performance as one thinks by going to a bagger like this Challenger beams through by this guy showing what it’s truly got when you wrap that throttle. This is priceless marketing in an unvarnished fashion the Indian company simply cannot do as appropriate marketing. Kudos my man for helping out and validating the Indian design teams efforts!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@sulaiman6531]

That sound it makes

[@MattMntk]

Chieftain owner here...and this is how I ride mine lol! Good review!!

[@CRhammerdown]

Way to ride. Thank you for showing me what a bagger can actually do. You are so wild I'm thankful you did not crash. I would like you to add one more test to your videos and that is hard braking going at high speeds.

[@JK-tu1xx]

I've always said I'd own a cruiser if I could find one with over 100hp and 100 ft lbs of torque that weighed under 500 pounds, there has yet to be any of that nature as of yet. A few bikes come relatively close but none are there yet, here's to hoping 2020 will bring one.
