Ita crazy isnt it. Who would of thought these big machines had what it takes to speed around a track. Even with not optimal engine designs, massive size. Its really impressive.

Should be riding one very soon if all goes to plan !! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Especially at Stage 2!!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

I want to ride one for sure. An upgraded power plus 🤯🤯🤯

[@amandadavidsen6259]

I have the 2024 Challenger Elite, Stage 1 now, going to Stage 2 this winter. Love the bike. Only issue is a recall on the bike for a power drain, once that is fixed I will be estatic!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Not bad at all. How much power are you getting down with a stage 1 ?

[@amandadavidsen6259]

@NostalgicMotorcycles I'm thinking around 140 HP currently with the air induction and pipes. The Stage 2 cams should push it to the 155-165 HP range.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

That’s a savage bike. I don’t care how big it is 150+ hp is a baddd machine !

[@williebaker1901]

Luv my 20 limited, i hv cat deleted full Rhineharts and lloyds tune. Will do 140 to 150 mph. Best decision i made was buying my challenger

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Bro that’s impressive. How much power did it put down. That’s some speed for a machine that big !

[@williebaker1901]

@NostalgicMotorcycles it's making about 115 to 124. Previous owner said it was about 130 hp

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Ohh ya that’s awesome ! What’s your favorite part

[@BaggerBikerNation]

@NostalgicMotorcycles not sure of what I could say is my favorite yet. But I can tell you I love it because of many differences such as inverted front forks, Fox rear shock, LED lighting all the way around, and an engine that walks circles around a 114. The Windscreen is an added bonus and also that handles like a sport bike.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Yep all the sounds about right but it really does handle amazing !

[@urbancavemanintheak7732]

Love those Indian Motorcycles. Great vid man!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Yes they have an awesome lineup !

[@RakMPVet05]

Seriously considering test riding one. Nothing but ZX14's and one ZX12 all my life.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Listen man it’s not a speed demon to that level for sure. But it’s comfortable and handles strangely similar to those bike given the different seating position. You will find a similar feel to stability and size between the legs. Obviously different position and power.

[@RakMPVet05]

@NostalgicMotorcycles I've heard similar. The trade off of power vs comfort will have to be accepted. Im a big man at 6'5..335lbs. I believe it will fit me perfectly. We'll see. Good video. I live in that area.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

@@RakMPVet05 Awe man they literally still have that exact bike at Holeshot. Go ride it! They will let you. I can tell you at the very least ride it so you know what to expect. Feeling it for yourself will tell you better than anyone else can. Worse case you ride an awesome bike for a little while.

I really like that windscreen option...I might switch over to Indian from Harley. However the nearest dealership from me it about 80 miles away.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Oh dam ya that’s a trip man that’s an hour away. I would as them I believe the dealer does have pickup and deliver for warranty bikes. Not just Indian. I think most dealers offer this. Should make that problem a lot less of a problem.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Yes, you can upgrade anything. There are less options. But Lloyd’s makes cams head packages big bore kits. A lot less options than what’s offered for Harley’s. But all the options nonetheless.

@@NostalgicMotorcycles Thank you so very much, I really want to go a different route than just buying another (Harley). Have a great day.

Ya thank you man. Go test ride one dealers do free test rides. Lloyds should have videos of products. Main thing is cams but honestly this bike with a tune is already faster than any cvo stock for stock. They offer 112 big bore kits but again at a stock 108 it’s already faster

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

@@CarlosRamos-dj5vw lmfao 🤣 I hear a 112 in the future. Nothing official but there are rumor the next challenger will be bigger and badder. Similar to what Harley is doing with the king of the baggers. I think Indian will play that card as well.

Nice bike my brother

The dealer says your welcome hahaha

[@BoBobber383]

Lol, fun review man. I should have bought one of those, but im a beginner rider and i went with a '23 scout bobber

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Honestly, your choice is a good one. Not because riding it feels a lot different like I said it’s well balanced and easy to handle. But simply moving it around. Backing out of spaces take a lot more effort. If you make a balance mistake in this bike it will fall where as the scout most people can just hold the bike if they don’t get the low speed stuff right. Once you get those woopies out of the way go for it. From a riding perspective it’s not too hard to handle just really the weight at slow speed.

[@scottkinderdine3317]

@@NostalgicMotorcycles Being a beginner rider you made the right choice, you can trade it in once you master the Bobber.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Go test ride them. Indian does free test rides just show up and take them for a spin.

[@TheBananaStrangler]

@@leftlegtrumpcard8152I recently just test rode them both at Bike Week in Daytona and I can tell you with certainty that the Challenger makes the Chieftain feel slow. The power plus 108 out performs the thunder stroke in every way. That being said, the chieftain is really nice. The controls and gages are much closer in the batwing fairing compared to the fixed fairing. If the rumors are true and Indian will be offering power plus motors in both bikes next year, definitely wait and try both with equivalent power plants. That way you will be able to compare apples to apples and make your decision based on preference, not lack of power and performance! Both are really, really nice!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Ya that 108 is a beast. They are not lacking in power for sure. You feel like you get the power you pay for the n the challenger ! I was impressed.

It was Victory before it became Indian! Just say'n...🤨

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Ya same parent company bought both and stopped competing with itself so now there is just one. Buying up the competition is the way to grow for big companies.

[@michaelschmitzerle2587]

The Indian brand was out selling Victory two to one. It’s a business. Business need to make a profit in order to survive. They only way for Polaris/Indian to do that is to make their bikes desirable looking to the public. Obviously they’re doing that, as Victory bikes were sitting in the showrooms unsold.

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Ya true. They just absorbed some tech design under the Indian brand and kind of made the best of both worlds

[@stevenwright6573]

A stage 1 upgrade is like 2k, and it takes this motor to 134 hp. I believe Indian is upgrading the motor on the upcoming Challenger refresh, to 112 cubic inches, up from the current 108 liquid cooled. So here's my plan. Wait for the new model with 112" motor, at 130+ hp and then stage 1 upgrade it to, I'm guessing 145 hp. Imagine that. A new Challenger with factory warranty pushing 145 hp for say 35k. Shut up and take my money! Hurry up Indian!!

[@NostalgicMotorcycles]

Lmfao I’ve heard the same about the 112. However Indian has stopped selling factory performance upgrades suck as cams and big bore kits etc. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️. So you will void warranty if that continues to be the case in the future.

[@stevenwright6573]

@NostalgicMotorcycles ahhh, that's a bummer. I'll still do it though!! Lol.

Agreed that engine is amazing !
