    Adam, just a follow up from my last comment.. after owning 17 motorcycles of many brands and riding for 43 years, for the first time I just visited my Local Indian Dealership today after reading your review of the Dark horse, and I must say you are not kidding! I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY by the incredible balance and handling of this motorcycle. Even turning the front forks lock to lock felt light and nimble.
    From the second I stepped in the dealership I was warmly welcomed and never in my life had this kind of experience in any dealership. the salesman really went into very technical detail of the all the models, in fact he told me the power stroke motor only has a total of 8 gaskets! He also explained in great detail the chassis, motor and suspension features and design. Adam, you are right on the money with your review and assessment. I still can’t believe how incredible this bike handles and preformed!! And killer sleek looks too!
    I am keeping my Harley-Davidson, but I am also buying this Indian Dark horse, there is no Turning back once you put a leg over one and experience it! I just tacked a Indian metal sign on my garage wall right next to the Harley-Davidson sign...I now have two American Icons and darn proud of it!

    When I got T-boned on my Harley Springer, and was vaulted into the oncoming traffic, as I was airborne I thought about my next bike. That it should still be a V-twin, but something....different. I thought about the Indian brand, and it seemed like a worthy consideration. As I landed, and cartwheeled into a line of honking cars, I then thought about how the Indian bike might be something I was definitely going to try. As I ground to a halt, and crawled to the side of the road, I was already dialing a dealer for a test ride. As soon as I was able to remove my casts and steel pins, I was on my way to a new adventure! Thanks, Indian!!

    Spot on review Adam! I test rode one a couple months ago and realized my 3yr old Vic Magnum rode like a log wagon. The Indian test ride kept me awake the past couple months and three weeks ago I bought a new Chieftain Limited in black. I’ve slept like a baby ever since.
    The bike is so easy to maneuver in parking lots and feels 150lbs lighter than my Vic, even though the weight is the same.
    The Chieftain corners like it’s on rails and you find yourself not even thinking about curves like the bike is riding itself. Unbelievably nimble!
    And lastly, you don’t have to brace yourself for bumps as this thing glides over them! You don’t feel them at all.
    I will quickly add that I will miss the nearly 120hp my Vic Magnum had though.

    Coming from a guy who currently owns two Harley Davidson’s I would definitely buy this bike if I didn’t love Harley as much as I do! Hell of a motorcycle , any Harley guy that dislikes this bike doesn’t realize that when competitors out do themselves it just makes Harley work even harder (hopefully) to improve their current product.

    • @amberbali8881
      @amberbali8881 Pƙed 5 lety +25

      I totally agree with what you said. I too am a die hard Harley guy, how ever, I am totally disgusted with the MOCO anymore. They have lost touch with their base and the competition is running away from them. The problem will be, HD will redesign the touring frame and suspension (they have to), add LED lights from the factory and will up the price to a more unaffordable price than they are now. Key fob locking bags, great idea. Harley only offers them on an over priced CVO rather than standard models, crazy.
      Adam, I enjoyed your review and am seriously considering looking at the Indian. I'm 57 years old with 39 years on a Harley and I am considering something else. Your review was great and informative. Harley Davidson is committing suicide with their arrogant, corporate business model. They need to take a good look at SEARS and see what happened there. HD is on the same road. Don't think they can help themselves at this point. Will be sad but interesting to read about in the future. Bill Harley and the Davidson brothers have all rolled over in their grave at this point.

      @kennethlaw5216 Pƙed 5 lety +12

      @@amberbali8881 the reason Harley Davidson doesn't put LED's from the factory is because if you look at their stocks reports they actually make more money selling T-shirts and accessories then they do selling motorcycles. Harley doesn't want to give up that extra revenue for anything. I have had a Harley Rep. Ask me before what one thing would you change about your bike factory. I told him Harley brakes suck, put some Brembo brakes on there. His only reaction was to tell me that would cost to much, it would raise the price of the bike. I said you are putting brakes on it now. Polaris puts Brembo brakes on there's a theirs and their bike is less then yours. All things they didn't want to hear. Then I started with the safety of their customer aspects. Now it's years later and Harley brakes are better, because they had to with the big inch motors. I always get the feeling from Harley that they won't change anything until they have to. That said I love Harley and own several, but it's videos like this that will make me think about test riding this Indian. I rode several Polaris bikes , they never fit me , and I just didn't enjoy the feel of them. I want to buy a American bike. Not much Harley makes right now makes me say yeah let's test ride that.

    I was saving my money to buy a 2018 Road King Special and then I came across this video. This was back in January. I started researching all I could about this bike and ended up buying the same one back in May. Ive put a few thousand miles on it and I have to say, you steered me to making the best decision I could have made! love this bike. I went with the Indian mid-rise bars, Lloydz 558 cams, Rinehart slip-ons and the Indian hi-flow intake. Also added a Klockwerks windshield and have a BMC Widowmaker seat on order. I plan on doing the audio upgrade this winter.

    Nice honest review. I'll definitely hit Indians next demo day. Working on picking my next bike now and after several Harley's, they aren't on my list anymore. I need a bike that can handle and has innovative features such as central locking and infotainment that is fluid. Almost every touring bike has good handling and central locking now but HD only puts it on their CVOs. Not to mention, other brands are giving you more for your money. I'm tired of spending 2k on top of the new bike just to get things that should come standard. Something as simple as a nice seat! I looked at a k1600 today for 4K less than a new road glide, It even came with a heated seat, heated grips, Quick shifter and central locking! 160hp and great handling to boot! We are long distance riders that love to hit the corners! Ready for the next few years and maybe HD can win me back one day.

    Bought a 2016 Dark Horse it had 1600 miles on it and it looked brand new,as soon as I saw it and sat on it I new I was in love! Everything Adam said is spot on! Great bike! Sorry Harley:(. (And I owned a Harley since 1984 but will never go back.

    Adam enjoy watching your channel but this was basically an infomercial for Indian. I'm definitely glad there's competition out there is it is good for everybody regardless of what you ride. Appreciate all the work you do for our veterans.

    Another great video Adam ! I like the fact that you did actually log a bunch of miles before giving a review I like the fact that you were unbiased in your opinion ! And your right Polaris is a great company they build side by sides and atvs for our troops ! They are American based and the bikes are hand built in spirt lake Iowa ! At the end of the day it wouldn’t matter if it were a Yamaha as long as people are riding ! Keep on doin what you do and be safe and god bless !!!đŸ‡ș🇾đŸ‡ș🇾đŸ‡ș🇾

    Adam, thank you for all you do for the motorcycle world. I love Harley Electra glide and street Glide. But I cannot afford one. So I wound up with a Honda VTX 1300 (used). I have been following you and have come to realize that the important thing is to get out and ride. I also realized that Indian bikes are also good bikes to have. Still cannot afford one of those either. Keep up the great videos and thank you for supporting the veterans. I retired out of the USAF in 2010. God bless you and Ashley and take care of scooter.

      VTX1300 are solid bikes. I always rode Kawasaki. Had a ninja then got old and bought a Vulcan 1600. Road it for many years. Then last year spent 28K on a HD Road glide. Trust me HD is nice but not 28K nice.

    I test rode one at Bikes, Blues & BBQ. I agree, the suspension and handling are outstanding. I did test ride both the 111 and Stage 3 Big Bore kit (116). Well, the Stage 3 did fix the hp issue. It made a HUGE difference. I've rode Harley-Davidson touring bikes for many many years. I WAS a brand snob until I rode this amazing machine. My only complaint was also the turn signals. I absolutely HATE it!!! All you "I'm not riding a Polaris" guys need to give this a shot. I WAS that guy until I rode one myself to form my own opinion. Indian knocked it out of the park with this one. Thanks for the honest review, Adam. Cheers!!

      I'm not a huge fan of the Indian look though this one is not that bad. The one thing that keeps me away from Polaris is their lack of commitment to a brand name. I absolutely loved the Victory bikes. When I was moving from a sport bike to a cruiser I was all about a Victory but then Polaris folded them in favor of Indian. So what happens when Polaris acquires another brand or decides Indian isn't preforming the way Polaris wants them to? For those reasons I was pushed towards a Harley.

    • @ibrahimbawi

      It seems that if you migrate from HD to Indian you will hate the signal switch; otherwise, they are awesome. I rode my gf sportster and could not stand having a turn signal switch on each side.

    • @rlj151

    Adam, great review. I started searching early this past spring for a new ride (had been riding a 2005 Yamaha Roadstar), I tried out the new Yamaha Transcontinental, the new 2018 Wing, and all the new Harleys. I was leaning hard towards an Ultra, until I rode the Indian chieftain dark horse. I fell in love with how the indian's handled. I finally pulled the trigger, and bought a new 2017 Indian Roadmaster out of North Carolina, traveled down with a friend, and rode the darn thing home to Indiana. What a tremendous bike it is. The ONLY bike I would ever trade my RM in for, would be a NEW Roadmaster DARK HORSE. Are you listening Indian? :)

    Great video Adam! Pretty much sums up my thoughts after going to a couple of Indian demo events. In a lot of areas Indian knocked it out of the park versus a comparable Harley bike but I couldn’t get over the areas that seemed cheap and plastic on a bike that is essentially the same price as a Harley. The engine’s power band is hard to ignore as well, but I probably rev my bike out more frequently than most.....

    Thanks Adam, I found out the same experience you did when visiting Maddies, in Dainsville, NY, I have a RK and love it, but when I took the Chieftain out for the day, it was a huge surprise of how responsive of ride it was. And like you I felt the odd feeling that I was on a bagger that performed much like a sport bike when pushed. Both my son and myself are considering these to replace our HD's, compared to the new FLH , the Indian just handled and performed better.
