Motorcycle review motorcycle channel street glide road glide Dyna low rider 2021 Harley reviews 2020 low rider s motorcycle group ride Harley Davidson Harley news Harley motorcycles Harley sportsters Harley softail
There's no comparison the indian is the better bike, it looks fantastic, rides great, has up to date technology and a better engine, sorry harley you're finished 😀
ABS Low Rider is $819 option. ABS on Chief is $900 option. If you move up to the Chief Dark Horse ABS included in that model. Dark Horse in Black is $17,499 with ABS with all the Tech vs. $17,530 for Vivid Black Low Rider S without ABS..
yeah that's crazy lets charge another 800 for safety feature. when I cam stock for 3 years BS
I just picked the chief this year and i love it! Low rider s has always been in my top 3 list but honestly i fell in love sitting on the chief for the first time. Just a sexy bike
Can't go wrong with either. Both are fantastic bike that will take you to places you.
Thank you for actually having the bikes. I can't stand when people attempt to do these reviews and they are showing photos of a bike they've never seen 🥴
😎👊🏽
I'm glad someone did a Chief Dark Horse Low Rider S video in depth. I lost my bike (HD 883) during IDA. After getting my life back together I had a choice and it was between the Low Rider S and the Chief Dark Horse. I picked the Chief. I like the technology and the cheaper price point. I was on the fence with availability of after market parts, but there is a lot of people buying Chief's right now and putting in orders to be made. The after market companies are going to start making parts soon because it is going to be way more profitable with more Indians on the road. At least that is what I am betting on.
💯 both great choices on my opinion I’m a huge fan of both bikes and company’s
Can’t go wrong either way ..competition makes both of these companies push their limits ..hopefully it’ll keep going 🤘🏽
After my Victory V92C I was on the hunt for a HD Fat Boy or an Indian Super Chief Limited went with the chief for more features but down the line im going to pick up the fat boy one day
The modes on the Indian are throttle response only, I have the Chief and the Challenger and while the Chief is no Challenger...the sport mode on the Chief is really fun! I was very surprised at the performance of the Chief and that 116 engine!
Keep in mind you’re 5’5” on that Indian bike 😆 anyone with over 20” arms would feel perfect on the Indian.
We all know the Indian is 10 times faster than that bike and I ride Harley
in my cuntry (new zealand) the hd is $7000 more expensive than the indian....... the indian is $26495, the hd is $33495. that just doesnt add up when the price difference in the US is only 1k apart... i think HD nz is ripping us off.
ABS for the Low Rider is an $819 option. Most dealerships order this as a pre installed part from the factory.
I'm cracking up. You guys have to watch this video. From the camera angle Jerry looks like he's 10 feet tall. He's dwarfing the fridge and you guys.
😂😂 I was just telling my boy that Jerry looked like a tower next to us
Both are fantastic motorcycles for sure, but if I had both motorcycles sitting side by side I would choose the Low Rider S. I just love that bike and always have. Especially now that H-D has moved the gauge to a more visible level, I’m all in!!
Awesome!! Thanks for doing this one. I am in exactly that predicament: LRs or Chief. Chief was winning, until this new 2022 LRS. What swung me back: the upgraded suspension which will be better for a pillion, and that Harley relocated the gauges from the tank to a more ergonomic position.
One thing you missed: the mirrors. They are useless on the LRS. Indian has better and more useable mirrors on the Chief.
So hard to decide. I’d actually be stoked with either of these bikes. 😎
I have a 2022 LRS and the first thing i did was changing the mirrors,with the stock mirrors i saw only myself.
Both great choices
I had a chance to pick up a Harley Davison Fat bob or the Indian Chief Bobber. I went Indian, I love the bike and it fits me great.
I had the Fat Bob I think you bought the correct bike. Congratulations
Rode them both. Clear winner. Bought the Chief and so glad I did.
Learned on dual sports and decided to grab my first road/cruiser (whatever they are called) styled bike. Went Chief Darkhorse in stealth gray. Felt better riding when I test-drove both not knowing a thing about either. Also loved the styling, tech and overall it is just a sexy bike. Both great choices though, it was hard to pick. Good review.
Just happy that two beautiful machines are American made.
All riding modes are just throttle response it doesn’t give or take power away, it’s just delays response. So sport mode is just the raw Indian with full throttle.. which the Low rider always has
Thank you the info 🙌🏼
It sounds like Jerry should have gotten the Low Rider ST with his love hate with the Low Rider S
Same bike with gay ass sport glide bags
@@palmettolowlife1996 yeah just buy the lowriders with leather pros and a fxrt fairing
I test road the Indian Dark Horse before I test road the Heritage Softail, I bought the Heritage Softtail. Much better handling then the Dark horse!
I got a 2022 low rider s a little under a month ago, just picked it back up today cause I was getting the 1k service done, honestly I’ve been loving the bike it’s my dream bike and everything about it is amazing down to the power and the looks, not to mention people at the dealer where I go are super friendly and nice, compared to other dealers I’ve bought bikes from
Best mid size bike Harley makes
How expensive is the 1,000 mile service? Mine still has only 100 miles on it, (2023 LR S)
A comparison between the low rider s and chief is not really a fair comparison, next to a street bob it stacks up and makes for a really difficult choice with the chief maybe edging out the win but with the lowrider s is just another step up in every way. Personally though I just wish they would drop that 117 in a fat bob with some decent tank graphics.
Garage Talk with Marvel Kid is my favorite show!
That sounds like a great title for my series 😂😂😂😂
I just checked HD's website. The S model does not come with standard ABS, the ST does. That's kind of shocking.
In Europe the Lowrider S comes standard with ABS,it's not an option that you have to pay for.I have ABS on my 2022.
More money grabs from Harley. I’ve got it on my 20 LRS and for them to offer it for more money now is ridiculous.
Been waiting on this one… nice 👍
👊🏽
Well for Germany there was no option. ABS standard.
I think it may even be a European directive that all bikes above a certain cc have to have ABS now. All larger capacity bikes from all manufacturers have ABS now, and the never see it as an option anymore. 🤷🏻♂️
I just picked up my Low Rider st Friday and so far I really like it. I put Harleys taller windshield and tall boy seat on it. If I had an Indian dealer in my area I would like to test one. And if I liked it I would definitely get one.
Abs used to be standard on fxlrs but now they're charging a extra 800 for abs. I was pissed af when I found that out after putting my deposit down.
The different modes on the Indian and their digital speedo ...couldn't care less about. I like analog clocks. I do care that the Indian engine is a pure air cooled engine without an ugly ass oil cooling radiator...I hate rads on bikes...rads are for cars...that said Harley does a good job of keeping their oil cooler low profile. The Harley mono shock and inverted forks are way better suspension design than the Indian. Indian should have made theirs a mono shock with a mininum of 3 1/2 inch travel, it's a kidney buster with those short dual shocks which means I'd pick the Low Rider just on superior ride alone. The Indian's almost gooseneck frame is cool though.
Tried to get a completely stock low rider s a couple months ago from 2 different dealers and they wanted to charge me around $21k because of a "market adjustment". Just an easy walk away. No way I'm paying more than MSRP.
This is a very comprehensive video. Very well done. As an Indian Roadmaster owner. I can see features of each bike that are hard to pass up. For example, the suspension on the HD is a bit better. But the Indian has ride modes. I like the front wheel on the Indian. It’s more visible. As a cruiser, it would be tough to value the dual front disc of the HD unless you’re racing. But it does have a bit more braking power overall. Compared to the Indian. Yet, the HD has a bikini fairing. I’m a tech junkie. So the Indian has cruise control and the RIDE COMMAND touch screen speedometer cluster. Again, a well done video.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can routinely get 55 mpg + on my 116 Chief, and that’s in sport mode. It’s all in how you ride it.
That’s some great mpg ..hoping to get some more riding time on a modified Indian soon
@@pnutz__ Don’t be fooled though, that’s casual riding. When I’m tearing up twisty canyons I only get about 150m per tank, about 40 mpg then. Mine is getting stage 2 shortly, so that’s gona drop mileage a bit.
A better comparison would be Chief vs Street Bob. The interesting thing is that they are very evenly matched besides technology and the Street bob is a tiny bit quicker. That being said, the Street actually cost less. And they say Harley are overpriced!
Both my low rider s came with abs.
Another great video thanks
Thanks man
ABS is standard on the Chief Dark Horse, optional on the base Chiefs.
As far as looks go? As someone who's always been an FXR/Dyna guy, I prefer the look of the Chief. I like having the dual shocks out back, the exposed frame and engine. If I wanted to feel like I was riding a sofa, I'd ride my Goldwing.
The monoshock inverted forks Low Rider is a no brainer for anyone that doesn't have perfect pavement. That Indian will beat your kidneys out on pavement in the pot hole north east. Even the Harley could use a premo shock.
Wait till the Chief Rogue Dark Horse comes out 👍with hard bags
ABS was standard on the FXLRS this year as well until the supply shortage in like April or May. Then H-D made it optional.
Hey the 2022 low rider s abs is optional for this year
I had to pay to get ABS put on, I thought it came standard but the 2022 year doesnt
I really enjoy these garage chats. What is going on with Jerry's bikes? He's two for two now?
ABS is $819 on the Low Rider S. Base price is $17,530.
I think the Sport Chief will be a better choice to compare to Low Rider S.
Excellent work. But really, what is up with HD and lagging behind with the tech. I always feel they hold back on the goodies to hit you up in the accessories and aftermarket
Think Indian has it when it comes to the smaller, lighter crusiers. The Indian Scout is way better than the Evo Sporsters, and honestly I think it's better than the Nightster too. The FTR is better than the Sporster S in style and overall preformance.
But when it comes to these bigger cruisers I gotta give it to Harley-Davidson, I would take a LRS or Street Bob over any of the Chiefs. But I do like the tech they integrated into the Chief Dark Horse, I'd like to see that in more cruisers.
Having ridden both and have several bikes I will go with the Indian you get alot more for your dollar then with a Harley. This is a debate that is difficult to choose . Especially when a Harley fan and a Harley enthusiasts they are both different. I do have a Harley and a m109r . But good indepth video👍
I'm thinking the Indian engine might be a better quality engine.
ABS is included on the 2023 Lowrider S
Not one mention about Interchangeable part of each bike past and future.
On the 2022 fxlrs they made it an option again. On the 20-21 fxlrs it was standard.
Guys with HD shirts and hats and flags pick the HD. Shocking.
No it comes with abs on their website theres an error
FRONTIER PLUS UNLINED 6" CARBON BLACK, How are they holding up?
Polaris did a decent job of copying the Low Rider S, as they did with their other models. I prefer the Harley-Davidson for sure. Having ridden both, and owning a Low Rider S, I think I can make that call. Not to mention the dealer network, should you need service. Excellent job. I'm a fan.
looks nothing like a low rider s. Even at a distance you can tell the difference
@@Osmani4you I disagree.
@@bobrose3298 ok from the front no indian chief comes with fairing, bronze trim, headlights are completely different so are the turn signals, the air cleaner is on the opposite side, the license plate is off center, chief has combined rear turn signals and tailight, the motor is beefier in size, and the hd has a skinnier front tire. But nah you're right basically same bike
@@Osmani4you The Chief''s frame has an almost goose neck look to it, which I like. Just hate the rear suspension. Wish they had made a monoshock.
Agree hd looks better.
The Chief looks waaaaaaay better!!!!
What is the difference in cam sizes in the 2 stock bikes ?
Hey brother what seat did Jerry put on his bike
Saddlemen explorer seat
interesting debates and points. I like em both. The chief bobber dark horse is a pretty bad ass machine too. The low rider is a good value for the money.............win win either way, it's a motorcycle right? I prefer a HD FAT BOY 114 as far as looks go!!)
Yea with the right amount of customization both bikes are great ..
I like the video brother but jerry is definitely a Harley fan boy you could tell he wasn’t liking the Indian
Mmmm… 🤔 Could I wear my Indian hoody on the Harley? 😁
I think it's crazy they charge for a safety feature. That's like buying a car but if you want seat belts 'ya that's gonna be extra' 🤪
What seat is that on the LRS?
I don't think ride modes effect hp or torque. All rode mode changes is where 100% throttle falls. In sport mode it takes a lot less throttle to get 100%
What the sport mode does is similar to the old days when we put short throw throttle tubes on our bikes. It goes from 0-100% throttle much quicker. Then standard and rain mode lengthen the time it takes for full throttle to kick in, making it a lazier and more controllable throttle progression.
819 for abs on the low rider. Jerry is correct its an option
I lmao when Jerry said " YES " That you inspired him to get the Low Rider S , Well done , I would have picked the same bike as well .
😂😂😂
2022 low rider s does come with abs mine did and it wasn't extra
Me too that’s why I was confused
Did you guys race them against each other? If not why?
That’s coming for the next video 😉
@@Marvelkid87 Yerrrrrr
The chief is $14999 maroon without abs.
Ive ridden both these bikes and they are both really good.Low Rider just hits different.The tech on the Indian looks like the Livewire to me😂
So you preferred Low RIder?
My 22 lowrider S did not come with ABS
Low rider s comes with abs if the dealer added an extra cost on you for that alone than that’s messed up on you too too say something
Don't you guys think the scout rogue compares to the low rider s
Scout Rogue competes with the Nightster.
Low Rider S all the way
Jerry white boy, sell it too me !!!
27 less horsepower 43 less torque than a lowrider S and i can upgrade to a factory H-D installed 131 with a factory warranty. There are no engine upgrades for Indian. I can go 143 cubic inch SS engine if i want on all Softails and baggers and add a turbo. Indian is not competitive. A standard with a 107 has more horsepower than any Indian cruiser or bagger. Actually the new Nightster 975T has more horsepower at 90 HP. Indian with 75 horsepower not even in the running. Indian have another beer and drown your sorrow.
The M8 engine is a budget built engine. Don't know about the Indian.
You should have commented the Chief Dark Horse Bobber model instead of the chief dark horse model because aesthetically it is a thousand times fatter and more complete than the one you show.
Here in Europe things are different and the low rider is more expensive than the Chief Bobber 3200 dollars and 5000 dollars expensive than the Chief model you showed!!! Yes 5000$.
I have a Harley and i was looking to buy a bigger one,
I was deciding between the low rider and the Chief dark bobber but :
1-How excessive the Low rider costs (overpriced only for the look and the inverted fork...)
2- The disappointment that Harley has caused me these years as a brand with its decaffeinated and sports models for millennials
3- The arrogant and unconcerned service of Harlry dealers in my country where they don't care about selling or not and they don't make you feel comfortable or special for buying a luxury product like these motorcycles
On the other hand, Indian gave me another feeling and not only to punish Harley I finally decided on Indian but because my new second motorcycle (Indian Dark horse Bobber motorcycle) costs every penny I have spent on it( it´s beatyfull and the perfomance is awesome) and
I don't feel cheated just by paying JUST for a look or a brand, not anymore.
PD: I love my Harley and I don't regret having bought it 10 years ago, it's a tough motorcycle with personality. I made a good purchase but currently it didn't make up for me to buy another Harley. Not with these prices or models.
The correct answer is sportster S 😜
Every 2022 low rider s has ABS
Why not own both? Lol
Had an indian for my wife nothing but issues indian of wayne sucked. Unloaded it in 10 months took a huge lose. She now has HD so happy. HD all the way polaris stick to snow mobiles.
I’d choose low rider s as well. I feel like the Indian is a better comparison for the street bob..
