How Indian Chief Handled My 1752 Mile Weekend

1700 miles in a weekend is a record for me. Doing it on an Indian Motorcycle is also a record. It was an eventful weekend with the Indian Super Chief Limited, Indian Challenger and also the well-known Victory Magnum. A lot of people want to know how well this bike can handle a weekend trip, and of course it handled it with flying colors. Any motorcycle can be a touring motorcycle, but Indian Super Chief Limited makes it incredibly easy with the conveniences it has. Definitely won't be the last time.

Who is Bicasso:
I ride motorcycles with the full time career of being a System's Administrator. I'm like the majority - I work a lot for a living and have to find time to ride either on my commute, after work hours, on the weekend or with the two weeks vacation I get from work. A constant goal is finding a balance between working full time, riding motorcycles, creating content and being relatable to many of you out there.

[@jvcoulter]

Brandon, you made several comments in this video that indicate you believe switching ride modes has some effect on fuel economy- that switching to Tour will give you better mileage. This is not true. Switching ride modes simply changes how much throttle twist it takes to get the same response, i.e., the same amount of fuel to be injected into the cylinders. Tour Mode makes the bike less responsive to throttle input, while Sport Mode makes it more responsive. Assuming your riding style remains unchanged, the fuel economy will remain the same. Kind Regards-

[@BrandonBicasso]

Ah. My logic is sport mode keeps me from being a hooligan so I’m saving gas. I’m multiple times less likely to do stop light pulls on tour mode so it does change my riding habit/style. Thanks for educating me on the fueling. 👌🏾❤️

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

If that's the way it is than why have riding modes , just use the throttle differently

[@BrandonBicasso]

@@evil_musclemuscled3814 Because they each feel different and can change the riding style. Riding in Sport Mode all the time is fine but it’s borderline too much. Very easy to whiskey throttle. For new riders, it’s perfect and allows them to grow into the bike.

[@kennethcooley3445]

@@BrandonBicasso I agree.

[@ralphaelconfer9719]

Sooo, Educator. Your're saying that you have the same level of power in sport mode that you have in touring mode. If you do..what would be the point of having the options? The option titles are suggestive as to what to expect in each mode??

I do this type of ride about 4 times per year. I have plans to do a cross country trip next year if it is possible at that time. To me, the Chief and the Harley version, the Heritage, are more for the 200-300 mile trips. The bigger bikes like the Challenger or the Harley Ultras or Road Glides are great on a 1700 mile trip.

[@bumstead1383]

160 miles per tank isn’t great ,but I’ve ridden w ppl that had to stop 50 miles before that. The 4 gallon tank is something that turns me off w the “new” Chief. One thing I do when on long rides is stop whenever I fkn feel like it, unless I’m hammering down cause I’m late, I don’t get mad if someone needs to stop. Injuries cause me to lose feeling in my hands & arms if I can’t shake it out. I also broke my coccyx (buttbone) in ‘96 so I squirm on the seat. Haven’t found a seat yet that I won’t have discomfort at some point. Also if u start doing long trip you will become very creative packing saddlebags. U will be surprised how much u can get in one. Sissy bar bags are an absolute too. Good review cuz, keep it on 2 wheels & hope to see u out there! “Edit” sorry I see now that you do long rides so u know how sh!, goes.

Really enjoyed this video. Love my Super Chief. Not the limited. You are right about the windshield. It needs just a little something more to help the buffeting. I've been able to ride mine to almost 200 miles before fill-up. It was angry with me. Suspension, I had to stretch out the shock to where there isn't much left for adjustment. It helped immensely on those bumps where it felt like you were about to launch off your seat. Shield does help in the rain. I'm your same height. I have also raised the bars just slightly has helped the shoulders. It looks like your bars were set high. I did that once and pinched the nerve between my left shoulder blade. Floorboards are awesome, though looking forward to getting the crash bars with highway pegs. Great video 👍

[@RickyBobber]

Awesome video as always, Brandon. Good, honest info. I like that you kept it real with the flaws and didn't just hype it up because Indian loaned it to you

[@_audacerider3838]

Gate video as always!! Ps a very good life hack on a bike with riding modes once you get low on fuel swich to rain mode (I call it eco mode on my Moto Guzzi California Audace 1400) cause normaly rain mode cuts power (on my bike the power is reduced by 1/3 compared to sport mode) plus the throttle is very muted it helps again with fuel economy. My Audace has 20.5 liters of fuel capacity. In sport mode beimg on it will get 140-150 miles from a tank. Putting my bike in rain mode(eco mode as I said) i will get 160-200miles from a tank! Also 56mph(90km/h) is the golden speed for economy riding! Where the speed to air friction is at the lowest. Thay means it is the highest speed at which the friction of the air still doesn't effect fuel consumption badly!!

Over 6ft and even the biggest windshield on the chief leaves you with major buffeting above 35mph to the point that having no wind shield works better if you can hold on for how ever many hours over 80sh mph. Fork mounted wind deflectors seem to work best in combo with a freedom shield but it's still noticable tho not as much a brain rattle over 70mph.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Yep. That buffeting is something most probably don't experience on test rides, but at least it can be fixed. Not isolated to Indian, but just a nature of windshields.

I ride with Advil in my jacket or panniers for those long day in the saddle (typically 1000 miles) days.

I gotta work on improving my core strength. Mine can go about 200 miles between fillups but whiskey throttle makes it 150.

Brandon; you were asking the Chief to be something its not...a tourer. Long haul riders would never give the Chief a second look for the reasons you mentioned in the video. Range and capacity; good job on selling the bike!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Not really. It was either Chief or my Suzuki M109R if Indian didn’t send Chief. You can tour on anything and that represents the majority of the market. The majority aren’t long haul riders. They’re everyday people that mostly only have a weekend to get long rides in. And for the everyday people, most aren’t spending 20K on a motorcycle. I’m definitely not.

[@BrandonBicasso]

And ironically, Super Chief Limited is 20K+ but you get my point. 😂👌🏾

@@nicholasjheinz7461 Oh, I'm with you on that. TRUST ME, lol.

Hey brother. Very nice videos you got, started watching you regularly recently. I wanted to ask you to make a video of comparison between Scout and Chief. If not, I'd love to at least hear your experience in terms of those two types of Indians here in comment reply. Is the acceleration noticeably stronger on Chief? Thanks a lot.

Hahaha! The roads around Shreveport, LA are about as bad as it gets except some places in CA. My new cruiser is a KLR 650. No problem in Shreveport. 13" of suspension travel on both ends and a 6 gallon tank, so almost 250 miles between fill ups. 50 hp, relaxed seating position, nice seat. You were about a 2 hour ride from me, wished I had known. Would love to meet you in person.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Lol, those long stints are so much better with more suspension travel 😂👏🏾. Also, how’s the the wife? I hope she’s doing well.

@@BrandonBicasso Her bike is almost done but she will probably need more surgeries to be able to ride again. At a speed of almost 0 a wreck can really hurt a person on a bike, no matter who is at fault. So I have always ridden with the philosophy that I am always at fault. Her spirits are good, bringing her bike back home should help.
