Test Riding A 2023 Indian Sport Chief With A Stage 2 Upgrade

[@pipersall6761]

Funny how the speedometer went fuzzy in sport mode. Obviously a problem they will need to fix! Lol. Nice bike. Thanks for taking us for a ride with you!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

You bet! Haha

[@rickrector6415]

I love the Indian Chief's. They kept the appearance of what a classic should look like.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Totally!

[@markmcintosh7095]

I think they hit a home run with that model.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Cool eh!

[@Boysenberr]

What did Carroll Shelby used to say? "You cannot have too much power, you can only have too little traction." Thank you for an intriguing video, Angel!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Lol sounds about right

I've done 19000 km on a 22 super chief limited with stage 1 kit, for nz roads it's AWESOME! Great video, keep doing it.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

That is awesome!

[@jd9308]

Those Performance pipes really sound amazing. I have a set of slip-ons on my Scout and I love the sound and they certainly let the motor breathe so much better. All I have is a stage one on it, and it does not need anything else. If I ever did ride one of the Sport Chief Sport with a Stage Two, I'd probably just have to but the darn thing lol! Indian makes a fast hot rod straight out of the box. Loved this video and I'm so glad you got to ride that souped up Chief! Ride and stay safe up in your beautiful B.C.!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

I had so much fin on that thing! Just wish I would have gone faster 😅

[@rrodriguez13224]

So your rode the Scout and now the Chief! I have a Chief, stage 2 with Dean Speed Exhaust (tuned locally), no fairing 🤣and it rips. The freedom performance exhaust was 1 year back order. The sport chief you rode has Brembo brakes, inverted front tubes, and adjustable Fox shocks, which mine does not have so ride and handling is more aggressive with the sport version. It's interesting that they allow you to do videos on their bikes and Harley won't. The smile on your face when you went full throttle was priceless 😎

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Lol that wasn't even full throttle! I shouldn't have held back 😒

[@josephdavis1797]

Wow! That Indian chief is a real beauty

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Totally!

[@jayteesgear]

That thing looks and sounds SO effing cool!

[@lloydsparling4439]

Big bang for your buck, hope you enjoyed the ride👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

I very much did!

[@juniorcopeland9082]

I really like the look of the Thunderstroke engine, it has the look of the old style engine , while integrating updated overhead valves, but still looking like the old classic engine...I like the looks of the Thunderstroke engine much better than the Scout engine personally !! You sound like a spokesperson for Indian MC Angel 😆💖😘✌ I enjoyed the ride thanks for taking me along ❤

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

I agree that they did a good job of keeping that old school look!

[@juniorcopeland9082]

@@RedRiderCanadaBC much better than when they were using S&S engines...Not that S&S is a bad engine, but I just think companies should make their own engines !!

Awesome test ride and commentary, Red. Many thanks for sharing.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thanks for watching!

[@vernlochtefeld1626]

Nice review. Great looking bike. I’d love to ride one. The TS’s always make beautiful motor music. Better than the M8 107hp 139tq That’s impressive torque. More than my cammed 114ci M8 softail. More per cubic inch also. Not the HP but it’s a 2V head. Love to see one done with ported big valve heads.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

They are a nice ride for sure!

[@jameseargle123]

Sport Chief with the better suspension would be the best pick of the Chief lineup in my opinion. Picked up my first Indian last may …. FTRs1200. Really solid made bikes. My local Indian dealer has recently got a red Sport Chief in stock and it looks awesome. Cool video 🤙🏁

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

🤩

[@barrycrossfield42]

Great Video! What a bike! I've had my eye on Indians for quite sometime. I love the FTRs. I really like how this Cheif is set up. Sounds absolutely Awesome!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thanks for watching! And I would highly recommend a test ride 😁

[@caseyarchuleta5513]

LOL! Smilin' thru the whole video says it all right there! The bike sounds great!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

You got that right!

[@GraemeBlore]

Well said Red. These are a VERY capable and fun bike to ride, and that comes from over 53 years of riding ALL sorts of bikes, and many many Harleys. Check it out; you will LOVE it I reckon.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

The seem like they are pretty good bikes! But I still prefer old school for ease of maintenance

[@ecrusch]

It was so funny seeing you get yanked back in that saddle when you hit-it in sport mode. Those pipes on that bike sound amazing. It was funny seeing guys in traffic looking at you like, "man that's a lot of bike she's riding"...ha ha If I'm in the market for an Indian, I'm going to call them. Thanks, Red. This video was way cool. Eric in Kissimmee.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thank you 🙂 I had fun!

[@xlr8r3VA]

That is one sweet bike. My dad had a Harley Street Bob with the 107 and it felt like it was trying to push you off. I can only imagine what it feels like on this Indian. This one has a lot milder aesthetics than the big Indians, which I prefer. That is what really turned me off about the Indians was the swoopy fenders. Not my style, but this one I like! Thanks for sharing Red!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

It was so much fun!!

[@paulfreespirit]

Great review, the sport chief is a fantastic bike and a lot lighter than my chieftain!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Right on!

[@ronlind1757]

Great video, Angel! Amazing bike for sure... if it was mine, speeding tickets! 😅

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Lol 😅

[@jerrygillespie6121]

That Indian looks good on you Red, would be a asset to your garage!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

😆 🤔

[@dactime3780]

Nice job. The only thing I would disagree on is using the tour mode in town. I own a Sport Chief and I have tried all three modes in town, on the highway, and the interstate. The tour mode for me in town doesn't have anywhere near enough immediate throttle response. In tour mode a quarter twist of the throttle results in very little engine response. Standard and sport modes are both fine and the response is great. The only time I've found the tour mode useful is at highway speeds of 70 mph or more with the cruise on when I need to roll onto the throttle to speed up slowly. Other than that, for me the tour mode is unusable. I really love the bike and the tour mode may be the only thing that I dislike about it.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Good info to know. I will definitely keep that in mind if I ride one again!

[@jasoncherry4221]

[@juniorcopeland9082]

That exhaust reminds me of the one that was on my 1980 Sturgis HD it does sound good, how does it ride is there a lot of vibration in the engine ?

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

It was a very smooth ride altogether!

[@mikekovacs5392]

Cool Bike. I once did a demo ride at the Harley Davidson museum. Took a new Heritage Classic with the 114 out and during my return loop, I was already trying to come up with a plan to swing the payments while avoiding divorce court. I will stick with my Road King which is paid for and avoid tormenting myself in the future.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Hahah good plan

[@ПетрПетров-с8э]

This is a great test drive, thanks a lot. If I were a blogger, I would also blurr my speedometer, that's just for a different reason. My speed in the city is 40km/h, and on the highway it is 80km/h, and if there were no cars, I think I would drive even slower 😂

[@ervinhepler1009]

You have to learn that the ponies have to stretch out their legs and speed limits on a motorcycle is more just a suggestion enjoy the ride 😂

[@davidmurray9193]

I was looking at the scout but it's only 1300cc ISH and after owning sports bikes and a 1700cc 2014 fatbob the drop would be crap for me, the chief is alot more expensive so I'm looking at a Harley again, still not sure on fat bob or street bob, the biker smile well cool
