Who Makes The Best West Coast Performance Cruiser, Harley-Davidson or Indian?

[@waydel1]

I ride a 2022 FXLRST and the mids don’t bother me at all. I rode baggers for years with floor boards never again for my riding. I am 5’11” tall, yes it felt cramped at first but now I love them.

[@nicksavich7970]

Agreed. I have a 32" inseam and prefer the mids as well. An aftermarket seat helped a little too, but I don't get the complaints. Likely it's those who have been doing the barcalounger position for years.

[@waydel1]

@@nicksavich7970 I really think the mids put you in more of an aggressive riding position, ready to make quick second adjustments faster. Also after a long ride I am less fatigued than when I had forward controls on my old roadglide.

I have owned a sport chieffor a uear now, and i have done 6 hour journeys with only one stop, and i have to say, the brakes are excellent, the suspension is spot on, i do not experience any vibration of any note, so all in i am not sure what this review was about, considering the comments.

[@FrankBonessa]

74 hp? Needs a little help. I'll stay with my Low Rider S 117. LRS is better looking, especially the engine, and has everything I wanted in a big cruiser.Just wish it had a long fender like my '79 FXEF. Even got 49 mpg riding 2 up in the mountains. Love this bike.

[@NicePantsLance]

If you compare Cycleworld dyno sheets, the Harley 117 only makes more power and torque above 4300rpm. The indian 116 makes pretty much the same power and torque up until that point. If you aren't revving your Harley 117 past 4300rpm on a regular basis, then its the same grunt you'd get from the Indian 116

Indian has plenty of performance options as well. Big bore kits, cams, throttle bodies, supercharger kits, intakes, exhausts, etc. You can make 130whp with the 116 thunderstroke without going big bore, and now theres even a 131ci Indian big bore kit!

[@whygarywhy]

i agree, i felt like the chief was missing some important refinement in the important aspects of the ride experience

[@GFxq1ul]

I have a 2023 Sport Chief, and I do not have the issues that they speak of with the throttle or vibration. I do appreciate the fact that these Indians feel more balanced and lighter compared to other motorcycles of the same weight that I have ridden. I did put forward controls on due to my bad knees not being comfortable with the mid-controls.

[@LastDigitOnMyScratchOffTicket]

I would love a Sport chief, but I started riding literally 2 weeks ago and everyone said to start on a smaller bike so I started on an Indian scout. I’m eyeing the sport chief maybe after 3/4 years learning on the scout, but the main concern I have is comfort. I’m 6’1 and 250 lbs. Do you find forward controls are more comfortable than the stock mids?

[@GFxq1ul]

My wife has a 2020 Indian Scout classic with forward controls, and extended reach seat. Which makes it more comfortable for a taller person. Even though my wife is 5'5" she prefers the extended reach as well. Both bikes are a pleasure to ride, balanced and comfortable.

[@jasonb8769]

I bought the indian sport chief with stage 1. 8-12 + hp, 10-15 lbs overall weight reduction.I love it.

[@robbyclark6915]

I have the old version of the FXLRS with the 114. It’s a killer bike! I do wish I had the 117, but I have never needed the extra inch of lean angle. I’m sure the Sport Chief is a great bike, but I prefer the Harley styling. I like the engine design and just the overall aesthetic of the LRS. You probably can’t go wrong either way.

[@dmitrykhramov1832]

Harley tester talked about the engine! Indian tester , in response, didn’t say anything - rubber mounted? Solid mounted ? Counter balancers ? No counter balancers ? I guess it doesn’t matter much - looks like Indian lost everywhere anyway 🤔

I rode both and own a FXLRST. I love both. I bought FXLRST because it was a good deal($20k) The next bike purchase definitely would be Sport Chief.

[@marcusgeorge1825]

I like that Indian are at the very least keeping HD to improve their game. Now being King of the Baggers (thanks to the current Australian Superbike Champion - go Troy!) will only drive HD further. A big positive for the customer on either side of the paddock!

[@damnice]

Very interesting conclusions. I own the 2023 Sport Chief & my friend has the 2023 Lowrider S & we agree after riding both that the Indian is slightly better in almost every single way, even in torque & power so I'm not sure the numbers are accurate at the wheel. The reality is they are extremely similar bikes & both well made motorcycles & I guess the rider experience is too subjective to bank on. DEFINITELY go test ride both before buying either to see for yourself, and remember that things like stock seats & pipes are RARELY what you end up with, unless you live in Commiefornia.

The M8 Softail platform is honestly a full generation ahead of Indians Chief platform. From the performance, refinement, quality and riding pleasure. I cross shopped both these exact bikes earlier this year. Took them both on an extensive test ride on the same day. Had no bias going into it, never owned either brands bikes before. I bought the Harley Low Rider S that day. Indian makes some great bikes, but the Chief lineup needs a shakeup. The Scout lineup and FTR are amazing though.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

That's weird because the Chief won the Big Twins Cup race on thay same chassis, beating out an entire field of Harleys. Harley also loses to Indian in flat track, king of the baggers and endlessly in Super Hooligans. Across the board, Indian is dominating in racing with nearly all their chassis. Harley on does well in King of the Bagger, due to a very skilled rider they have.

[@highwayman1218]

Absolutely the LRS. Been on them all (though my personal ripper is a Dyna LRS).... Gotta say also, you guys gotta get those feet up in the canyons on these kinda bikes... A few turns there I was expecting broken ankles from you guys....

[@andromedach]

I never understood the new Chief line up, it feels low effort as if the bean counters had more input than the engineers. I do like their instrumentation but that does not make up for the rest of it. I remember when they first came out and many were a bit annoyed at the shock setup and it seemed a real step down from the Chieftain line. When it comes to the next size down, the Scout line up is just amazing as compared to Nightster and Sportster models

The new softail frame is great for handling and with some slight upgrades that are readily available it can be even better.

Those Indian dyno numbers really surprised me. And helped make me feel more justified on my Harley purchase even though when I test drove the Indian in sport mode I thought it was faster because the throttle response in sport is crazy.😅 I like both bikes though. The Indians super nice And the triumph. It was hard for me to choose a bike, Harley was just so aggressive and desperate to sell one when I bought I went with them. It’s also the old school feel of the Harley that made me choose it. I actually didn’t like how easy the clutch pull is on the Indian or the triumph. Or the other controls for that matter.

h-d lighter faster at straights ,have more lean clearance it dosent necessery mean it be faster in corner cos resultsnt cog tore size and profile hiton this aswelll and from your talking it looks like indian can be slightly fadter actuallly in corner when ypu say its only 9 pound heavier but feel like ypu mist put much more effort to force him to change direction it mean it proabbaly have higher cog in results acumulate more corner speed 👌🏻its not me class bike but if im must choice than 🤔 whatever-for me draw 👍🏻☕️
