I really love my Scout! Have has it 2 yrs now. Zero issues. Test road both it and the sportster 885 and 1200. No comparison. Scout hands down. Also I have been down on Harley ever since they closed US plants and opened foreign ones. And thats after getting HUGE tax breaks to give businesses incentive to bring manufacturing back to the US. That worked real good didn’t it!

@@robertf6409 biggest problem with KZbin is that people judge a single video without having followed the poster's channel, and have context. I had already seen the 'old and rusty and no customer service' for Indian video that had come prior. Hard to expect everyone to follow every channel (obviously), so posters should try and provide some context to help themselves out a little. Maybe like starting the video with, "and here's what happened last time we bought an Indian...." and give a ten second recap..... Just my thoughts. Maybe I should start a channel! I'll do it on 'old guys going to Target and trying to find comfortable underwear'.... Impossible!

I recently bought a new bike and considered buying an Indian. I think Polaris has really raised the bar on what an Indian is. I bought a Street Glide Special because I already knew and loved them. The biggest thing for me was the availability of custom parts and resale. That being said. The Indians are still very nice bikes and I hope they continue to innovate and push the industry on improvements. Thanks for the review on the Indian

I can tell you the bike is comfortable enough to live on, and it's given me 15k trouble free miles. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them before. The stuff Indian puts out now is just insane, and I wish I could afford more of their line up lol.

Yup, my dad used to own a 1936 Indian chief back in the days of my youth. Back when the rival of the big bikes was about Indian and that other bike that every one thinks is the greatest thing on two wheels. Dad's belief was a simple one when it came to ownership. He used to say that there were two kinds of bikers. The guys that owned Indians and the guys that wished they had bought Indians. Dad's bike was a rather interesting one of a kind Indian cold blooded to the point it some times had to be towed to jump start it. throttle on the right both front and rear brake on the right as well. clutch on the left rear stick shift on the left as well. it was a bit tricky to shift but it was the coolest bike I'd ever seen. he had double darksided it. his head light came from an old Chevy pickup truck when his original seat gave out he replaced it with the seat of an old ford farm tractor and added a bed pillow just to make it a bit more comfortable. Would I buy one of the new Polaris Indian's if I could afford it? Do chickens lay eggs?

I rented one a few years ago out in Utah. It started out as a very warm day and I was heading back to where I was staying, wearing only a helmet, mesh jacket and gloves. Oh yeah, jeans too. Riding only in boxers isn’t safe. The weather made a big change as a cold front came through and rain started falling. I thought I was going to take a bath but I raised the windscreen to its highest setting, closed the lower vents and cruised home in a pocket of dry air. Very impressed with the bike.

Indians ride better than any other cruiser but my experience owning them was awful. There is no support after purchase. Unfortunately I broke down a lot and parts were ridiculous to get. My buddy has a 2017 vintage and he wanted to get reduced reach handlebars for it. They don’t make em anymore! The fuckin bike is 3 years old and they already don’t support it. I can walk into a Harley dealer and buy any part I want for my 15 year old Harley and it will be in stock in the building. Even though Indian is a better ride owning a Harley is so much easier. Indian needs to step up their game. Their dealers suck and honestly Polaris kind of sucks too.

I’d rather ride an Indian but I’d rather own a Harley. No dealer support and no parts availability. They break down just as much as a Harley but Harley parts are in stock and there are experienced service depts everywhere. When your Indian breaks down and it will just like any other bike the parts take weeks to months and the service depts might be able to squeeze you in sometime in the next decade. I loved my Indians but I don’t think I will ever own another one. Too much headache. Hell, my buddy can’t even get handlebars for his 2017 Chief cuz they don’t make em anymore. How does Indian stop supporting a three year old product. It’s pretty sad.

I have a 2018 Indian Roadmaster and I LOVE the bike! This is my fourth bike since 2008, and my second Indian. In 2016, I bought a 2014 Indian Chieftain. I loved that bike, and I put it through hell, and it came through like a champ! I have a picture of riding it in 122 degree weather one day in California, then, when I was working in Palmdale, I regularly rode it in 30 and 40 degree temperatures. Even though these bikes are air/oil cooled, it never skipped a beat. In December of 2018, I bought the Roadmaster and love it even more than the Chieftain! This bike is super comfortable, feels really nimble for such a heavy bike, and looks amazing! The only changes I have made to it is to add turndown exhausts and a ram air intake. I will not have any other models!

Ancient Harleys had oil in the right tank and gas was only in the left tank. there was a hand pump in front of the right tank for pumping oil into the oil total loss engine. Hence two caps. After Harley put an oil pump on the engine and an oil tank under the seat they kept the two caps. Actually the gas crossover tube was slow so with my 1973 Harley I would fill my left tank first then there would still be room for more in the right tank.

Sean, I own a 2020 Springfield and I will try to help with more substance for this video. Yes, I love the bike, and I will focus on the cons. 1. The gas tank cap: it does not have a key-lock. 2. Both controls on the handle bar: those are plastic as opposed to metal. 3. The kickstand: it takes more than one foot swing/positioning effort to put it down in a safe place. Perhaps this might not be an issue for some one that is 6'2", but for me 5'9", it is a double step effort. 4. The mufflers: both are a little too low to the ground on each side. I had three bikes before this one, and those were forgiving, but this one, you have to move your feet away immediately as soon as you start turning from 0; otherwise, one of your boots might get caught up between road and muffler. As for the large FOB, perhaps that is for when wearing thick gloves.

Good for you! I own a '14 Goldwing and love it. I test rode a Roadmaster when I was in the market and it was just too big for me at 6' - the bars and dash were too far away. Only thing I don't care for on my GW is it's missing an electric windscreen and a 5 speed ...a 6th gear would bring down those RPMs at 80+ mph when cruising the interstates. But that flat 6 is a beast and will outlive me.

Dude, having the so-called dealer in Mt. Joy hate you is a good thing. You can always go on up to Mechanicsburg to get what you need. I refused to give Mt. Joy any more of my money a LONG time ago. The stories I could tell about THAT place....

Ragebait title eh? I like what indian is doing right now, Indian is becoming the leader and HD is following Indian, I love the FTR1200, I ride an 09 HD XR1200 and now HD is following Indian with their new DOHC engines, plus Indian is DOMINATING Flat Track, I dont care for any baggers(except the Challenger, I like that bike), they are heavy, cumbersome and don't suit my riding style, but Indian is a GREAT company, and I ride a Harley.

I ride a Harley but visited an Indian dealer a couple of weeks ago. Very nice bikes. One thing that stood out to me was the massive size of the engine. I ride a Lowrider S with the M8 117 engine but the engine appears slim in comparison. The sales people were attentive so no issues on that point. The only weak point is the lack of dealerships. I'm fortunate with one ten miles away but they can't rival HD in that regard. Hopefully Polaris is committed to the motorcycle market. It was a big letdown when the dropped the Victory line.

Tried out a new Indian motorcycle and found it to be nice but just ok. Indian dealer had a used Harley there too and I tried it out right after the Indian. Had never owned a Harley before that day but side by side comparison I saw not a lot of difference and the Harley was half less than half price of the new Indian so I bought a Harley with cash and I like it. Someday down life's highway I may buy a good used Indian motorcycle. They are very nice.

I own this bike. Worst thing about it is the heat. But I discovered that you can buy a heat shield from Captain Itch. Helps. Make sure the lower vents are open, remove the converter and after market air cleaner. Problem solved. Now.. I know what your thinking..Why should I do all of that when I could just get a HD. Because aside from this one issue this bike is way more comfortable, faster and reliable. By the way. I love HD and own one also.

Other than that i like it but I'd want to know about ad ons like aftermarket pipes,breathers,levers etc. The routine maintenance vs a harley and is there a possible mechanical failure of a certain part like the timing chain tensioner shoes on a v twin harley that can wear out between 20k or 80+ k.

Ultimately a good overall video. I've never owned a Harley or Indian motorcycle. But I will admit that 2015 Chief with all the accessories is nice for the price advertised. I'm aware a cruise control is preferred by most on large cruisers. But I've been happy 15 years now with my throttle rocker palm rest on my 05 Suzuki DL 650 V-strom. There inexpensive and give allot of relief on your throttle wrist when cruising on the highway. But I have yet to find a good wrist relief for your clutch hand when dealing with stop and go traffic when trying to get through Chicago.
