Harley equivalent !?!? Nah they don't have one, the Indian handles way better, brakes better, feels more comfortable to be on and thanks to excellent suspension tuning on the front and that Fox shock on the back it absolutely eats the Harley on the rougher roads and bumpy corners. Now I'm talking apples for apples, one touring bike against another, all of Harley's touring bikes have at best two and a half inches of rear suspension travel whilst the Indian has four and a half. As a long time Road King owner who has traversed Australia more than once, I can tell you that one ride on the Indian blew my mind. If you ride both and still buy a Harley, it's because you're buying into a brand, that's it, nothing more, there is no way your Harley is better.

I'm used to heel-toe shifting on my Intruder, and that would be a great feature on this motorcycle. The current shifter would have felt much nicer if I would have longer legs or even bigger feet.

Hey man, love your videos. Why do you not have a review of the KLX 250? I love this bike and I am about to buy one (2021 model). Would love to hear your thought on it.
