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 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

[@gwynnromano5881]

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.

[@jackkelly4032]

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.

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?

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.

We all take tremendous pride in the bikes we ride and any Honda/Goldwing clothing I have has been purchased online. Still, to reinforce your point, on top of the H-D dealerships that split retail space between merch and motorcycles, there are plenty of H-D outposts where you can buy anything H-D but the bike!! For instance, just this past weekend I was on the Cherohala Skyway and then on the Moonshiner 28 to Bryson City and we needed to stop in for the tshirt buyers ...but it's all good.

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!

The entire reason I went with HD over Indian is how I was treated in the dealership. The guys at the Indian place were so uninterested in working with me and Harley literally asked which bike I wanted to test ride and said "no loop, just bring it back in like 15 minutes". No brainer at that point.

[@ElitistNUMBER1]

And I had the complete opposite experience. The Harley dealer called my Honda Rebel 500 a piece of shit. One of the women managers came out and said “who’s piece of shit is this on my floor?” So I went to indian and they gave me no pressure. I walked out with a beautiful indian scout rogue. And my wife walked out with a BMW R18 bagger from the same dealer.

[@kevincolonel3070]

After you buy the HD is when your dealer will turn on you. Every answer you get to a question will involve them putting their hands into your wallet. It's not a community, it's a cult.

[@brandiburns3011]

In other countries (Canada) the strap is mandatory for the bike to be street legal for passengers.

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

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.

[@icebrakernh]

I own the 2018 Roadmaster I do not regret the purchase. Everything is stock on it and it has a ton of torque enough to break the back tire loose when 2 up. Glad you got a chance to experience the Roadmaster. Harley has a lot of groundwork to match or beat Indian,

[@elduderino1809]

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.

[@tonyj8947]

I own a 2020 HD heritage classic. It came to HD or Indian when i was shopping. I just liked the HD a little better. It just felt more durable and solid to me. Another reason is that there arent many Indian dealers around so thats a huge problem in itself with service and warranty issues.

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.

Chill out, It's a joke in regards to his previous Indian video.

[@davidlamb2658]

Indian bikes are nice classy looking bikes, but from my experience so far with my ownership of a Harley, the Harley community is much bigger, and friendly, I also prefer the look and sound of Harleys.

Dude wearing skinny pants can't fit a key fob in his pocket. Just missing the Man-Bun, Subaru and a bumper sticker "I❤ S.F."

[@tomhogencamp2532]

Great Demo......I was very impressed with Demo maker when he had a scripture during demo...good job man.

[@Gkitchens1]

Lol them reacting like thar is honestly the best evidence you need to justify making that last video.

[@swhitten714]

You should for sure try and get your hands on the FTR1200 for a video it’s an amazing bike

[@elijahholt9972]

Him- that’s a beautiful sound when you close the trunk The sound- clank 😂

[@cbrippee]

Maybe that Indian dealer will now take you back. It would be in his best interest to let you test the new Challenger and also an Indian with the 116 motor, especially with the amount of subscribers you have. Safe riding, always enjoy your videos. Wish we had a dealer around me ( Dayton, OH area ) like Srk Cycles.

[@joeybobbie1]

Same here. I think I would Drive all the way from Texas to Buy a Bike from Sean and SRK Cycles. He would be the first Honest Dealership I have ever dealt with. Definitely would be worth the Trip.👍👍

[@jamesbrace3212]

Nice thing about Indian you don't have to spend a shit ton of monies in upgrading just to get the same amount of horse power that comes stock in metric bikes.

[@ronfriedman8740]

Maybe so, but they nickel & dime you on everything else. Before you know it a Roadmaster is $40k

[@bldallas]

Beautiful bike. If I ever were to buy a big cruising bike, it would be a tough choice between this Bike and an HD Road King. I’d probably lean toward the Indian, though, because it’s a classic while also being different. Over the past 25 years or so, there have been so many khakis-with-a-golf-shirt wearin’ Dads, who have decided to buy an HD to get them thru their midlife crisis period. They they play dress up with all the HD brand leathers, bandanas, etc. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s sort of a cliche at this point. Thanks for the video!

[@MotoMengy]

Sean, if you get a chance check out the Indian dealer up by State College, Best Line Powersports. Those guys are MUCH nicer and more cooperative than the dealer down near you. I know guys who drive hours out of their way just to avoid the one down by you!

[@alexkegarise5211]

Yet another click bait title

[@williammcguire5685]

I have an Indian vintage. My first bike and last. There is a learning curve if you dont have years of experience. Bought it Nov. 2016 im 71 now fun to run.

[@stevenozstories]

Meh. I could wear the fob like a medallion. Otherwise, looks great. Have you reviewed the springfield?

[@lifehunter6426]

Glad I saw your video. My chief vintage is doing the same thing. I already ordered and received a starter. I will do the test first

[@the.communist]

Just cause you yankees were wildwest cowboys centuries ago doesnt mean you have to own bikes the size of a horse

[@randybarnhill3098]

Hey bro! That rokform phone mount is badass, I plan on getting one soon. I understand they're one of your sponsors for your channel, but you really should stop telling people that the case comes with the mount, it doesn't. It has to be purchased separately.

[@donlomo]

Title :"Why I HATE Indian Motorcycles" first sentence - I dont hate indian.... so what is t now mate?

[@AsianP3rsuAsianist]

He hates the Indian dealer that's near him not the brand. Watch his previous video about it

[@blackfoot16]

Thanks for the rokform code. Can’t wait for operation 2.0! Woot!

[@btsadventures4310]

Sean, been watching your content for years and you NEED to stop click bait titles. Its making you look like a douchebag, and I say that with love. It's bad enough you're hacking products in every video. Views=Money, I get it. But don't be that guy anymore Sean.... Keep up the great work otherwise, brother.

[@Lilmiddwest]

If the key fob only down side I can live with that. If I can't get newer victory I want I'll get an Indian Scout.

[@markjames3393]

Probably has a much bigger battery in it than the little button battery in HD’s fobs

[@Skyerzen]

1800cc..... "giant power" HA!

[@michaeljoesmith3977]

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.

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

It seems like a good bike...good review...and Bible verse!

[@rickgillis1613]

Do you know why Harley's don't come with a tool kit ? Can't fit what would be needed that size on a motorcycle

[@azgrandpadon6186]

I love the reviews, but I love the scriptures even more.

[@davidcaskie6680]

Funny... the scriptures are the one thing I can’t stand about this channel and have to skip through to hear about motorcycles, not religion!

[@azgrandpadon6186]

@@davidcaskie6680 Everyone is welcome to their likes and dislikes, even if they don't like to hear scriptures during a motorcycle review. I wouldn't want to hear a sermon either when I came to hear a motorcycle review, but it's only one scripture that takes an average of 3-5 seconds from the video. So, I feel confident it isn't the amount of time it takes from the video that you don't like, but what exactly about "religion" is it that you "can't stand"? I'm assuming you wouldn't mind if it were a wise quote, a favorite saying, a line from a favorite song, or acknowledging one of their sponsors for 3-5 seconds, so I'm assuming you've experienced some kind of hurt from some religion that engenders such a response. Would you be comfortable in sharing that with me?

[@PotatoeJoe69]

The strap on the saddle is both to make it easier for a short passenger too get on, but also doubles as something to hold onto besides the rider.

[@AdamMalcolm96]

You can talk trash about harleys cause harley guys need their grandsons to get them on the internet hahha

[@alanevans5353]

I like how you talked about how much Indian has screwed you over and you still don't bash on the bike, but give it a fair talking over and really go over its specs

[@darcylea2993]

"This bike has all the gingerbread".. HAHAHA AWESOME. I'm using that line for everything during the remainder of my life!!! hahaha

[@afc-td8zo]

Today I saw an Indian scout up close for the first time , and I must say glad I went the 48.

[@misterskins]

I think you hit it spot on. I would like to know what happened between’15 and’21. I know they jacked the price

[@darksideofthemoon6927]

Indian n Harley are sell outs that's why us youngsters are going for yamaha

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

reviews are fun I like when they tell me about all the stuff they have on a motorcycle that I don't think belongs on a motorcycle
