Indian Chieftain Darkhorse 116 // First Ride

[@michaelschmitzerle2587]

Love those Indian motorcycles! They just keep getting better and better👍

[@NicePantsLance]

Im excited to see the results of their ongoing rivaly with Harley! Their competition should bring us some nice motorcycles 🤘

I just recently purchased a Chieftain Limited. I love this bike so far.

[@NicePantsLance]

Hows your Indian holding up? Im actually considering one myself! Lol

[@kennethsmith5494]

The kickstand is like the Harley Jiffy stand. That sponge feel is the stand seating itself to prevent the stand from folding up if the bike were to roll. Nice review.

[@NicePantsLance]

Wow i didnt know that! Thanks for the info! 🤟

[@lawrencestark8983]

Not to say anything wrong about how the clutch is a little bit stiff but my friend has a 1945 Indian and the clutch back then we're very hard to pull in my hands a not big and between pulling the clutch in and a suicide shift I couldn't get the hang of it I can send you pictures of it, the paint job has Abraham Lincoln's face on the tank with beautiful naked wemen blended into the picture. But I've been riding Harleys since 74 and its time for a change and ive tested the challenger,roadmaster, and the chieftain and I like the chieftain. Im going to buy a fairly new but used because I may only have a few years left to ride. Thank you for sharing be safe

Thanks for watching!! Indian makes awesome bikes 🤟 always enjoy the ride brotha!!

Are you tall? I’m just trying to figure the windshield issue.

[@NicePantsLance]

I'm 6'0" and if i owned one i would buy a flare windshield to help get more wind off me 👍

[@TheManGiraffe]

🦇Damn, his bike looks too small for me lol. Looks sick bro lol

[@NicePantsLance]

It's definitely not as roomy as i imagined! Still a fantastic ride 👌 thanks for watching bro 🤘

So, I rode most of the Indian line up, I liked the bikes but at just over 6'2" my head felt like it was in a tornado on most of these touring bikes. It was horrible on the freeway for me. It's weird to say it's almost like I was too big for them. I'm looking for something like these to take my wife on some high mileage rides but i''m struggling to find the right bike.

[@NicePantsLance]

I understand how you feel! I've done some searching and it seems the solution is to upgrade to a Flare windshield and maybe a seat

[@myronmosley2167]

Most bikes regardless of brand are designed for the average male height which is 5’9”. So yea after 5’11, you are going to be outside of the stock wind protection range and in some cases the seating position as well. Chances are at your height, no matter what bike you choose you’ll have to get an aftermarket windshield, seat and or handlebars to make it comfortable.

[@pharoah1200]

It's perfect for me at 5'8".

[@TheManGiraffe]

You say its 7 inches, they say it's 4 "inches of travel"😉

[@NicePantsLance]

More windshield than most know what to do with 🤘😂
