"You ain't black"
Just bought one and love it. Time to get rid of my harley...
I ride an Indian Roadmaster and absolutely love it. I removed the large luggage rack, the lower front fairings and the original seat. I added the Ultimate Seats Solo and Passenger seats with back rests for both riders, as well as a 12" sissy bar with rack. I will add a small hard-case luggage item to hold my helmet once I find one that I like. Removing the large luggage rack and original seat reduced the weight of the bike significantly and made it more manageable for me to ride. I just didn't want that large luggage rack on the back and am finding the Ultimate Seats to be much more comfortable (and lighter) than the original seat. I had a dealership install 4" Rinehart slip-ons and a high-flow air cleaner, and there was an immediate increase in power, and an increase of 8 mpg gas efficiency. For added visibility on the road, I added a device to make the taillights blink on and off when I use the front or back brake and had Clearwater Lights place yellow their Darla riding lights to the front forks. This bike is so lovely on the highway. All my life, I wanted a Harley but only rode Triumph 650s and a Honda Magna 750 as well as myriad smaller bikes for many years. I had never ridden a large bike before purchasing this bike and was intimidated by its weight and size. However, I have viewed 100s of hours learning riding techniques on CZcams videos produce by professionals and EVERY time I get on this bike to ride it, I spend a bit of time practicing emergency stops, weaving in and out, U-turns, figure 8s, circles and making turns from a dead stop in a large packing lot located close to where I keep my bike. PRACTICE PAYS OFF! I am no longer intimidated by this bike because my riding TECHNIQUES have improved dramatically as a result of constant practice. Very important: I never want to be overconfident when it comes to riding a bike. Respect for the road and the bike is ultimately the best practice, in my humble opinion. Be safe, be well. Ride! PS: I just purchased a Shoei RF 1400 helmet and love it. However, be aware that if you wear a certain size helmet currently, you may want to get a size larger if you purchase a Shoei RF 1400 because the difference in padding and such makes the helmet fit differently than other Shoei helmets. Just a kind warning, so you don't invest in a helmet that turns out to be too tight.
Too late, I am 116 lb lady and I just bought this bike from Crockett Powersports of TN last Saturday. She rode like a dream back to Atlanta!
I just came from Crockett Powersports and Cayce told me that it had sold. That's a nice piece of machinery!! Have fun on that beauty and Ride safe!!
@@NoogaCowboy Thank you. I picked her up last Saturday. She rides so much smoother than my Ultra Limited. My husband also picked up the 2018 Vintage today.
Oh wow. I spoke with him before I left. I told him what a beautiful bike it was. You guys made out great on that motorcycle. I have to admit I was a little jealous when I saw it. The people at Crockett are some of the best in the business!
@@NoogaCowboy I agree. I met John during the 2019 Trail of Tears. He, Kathy, Casey, Jen, Thomas and their whole team are caring and amazing. I will be there next Saturday for my 1st service. Hope to see you there. Have a great weekend and stay dry.
@@debrameder3701 I should be out there. Would be great to meet you.
All of the new Indian bikes are gorgeous.
Yes they are!
Have close to 10k on my 2019 RM and never rode a more comfortable, pleasurable bike!
Luxury on two wheels!
I got my 2019 RM at the end of May 2020. Just headed in to the dealer for the 5000 mi service on Monday. Just ready to roll it over. Got a couple nitpicks, but a considerable upgrade from my 2005 Honda VTX 1300 I rode for 8 years. Has everything I never had before! Ended up with 70,500 miles on that Honda, 55,000 "Me miles" since I got it used. Looking to put that many and more on this RM! I had to get some Tab Performance Zombies on it, the stock exhaust was woefully inadequate for my sound taste. And the seat although it gets very nice and warm, it's like riding on a horse saddle for me. Still need to get some improvements done to it. But it's getting there! And I'm a bit disappointed the tops of my knees get wet in the rain. The leg fairings just direct it right over the top in to your knees. But the windshield helps give a nice bubble when it's all the way up. Handles great. Got a few 18 foot U turns in the other day, can see a vid of it on my channel, too! Love my RM, so glad I got it!
@@MarshalZhukov Stock exhausts disappoint 99.9% of the time. I'm glad you're enjoying the bike and I'll check out those U turns. Thanks for watching and Ride Safe!
Great review. Touring bikes are also good for those, like me, who live in colder climates, regardless of your type of riding. I have an '08 HD Ultra, and that is very nimble and light to get around with also.
Good point. I didn't think about that.
I gave the 2019 Roadmaster. LOVE it. The navigation is great, but there was a learning curve for me. I am an android user and love google maps. Its not so similar to either. So I was unimpressed at first. But having learned to use it , I am now happy with it. I use it often.
Good review 👍 thanks ☠️
Love the power windshield on my Roadmaster. I use it all the time. Under 30 it's down. Highway speeds, it's up.
It's way more handy than what I thought it would be.
Good stuff man!!
It has the 116 stock but with a smaller throttle body than the 111 big bore upgrade. It does preform well. The torque will rip the back tire apart from a stop or on the roll. Smooth ride it makes you forget about the size of the bike. I own the 2018 roadmaster and love it.
It was a fun ride. Really nice bike! Ride safe, brother!
My brother just bought a 2021 Chieftain Dark Horse. It’s impressive
If I were to buy a new bike right now it would be the Chieftain Darkhorse. Stud of a bike. Looks and performs great!
Hello just ran across this vid. I recently picked up a 2018 looks just like yours exept the seat is tan I like some of the mods you did. I'll be looking into more of your adventures. Mine is Jackie-O
Thank You!
I have the Harley Ultra Limited. This is my second Ultra Limited. Just before I bought the first one, I test rode one of those Roadmasters and almost bought it. I liked the bike quite a lot. I went all the way to the end of the deal, but couldn’t get a good enough rate at the time. This was at Daytona Bike Week. It’s funny, I found out 2 weeks later that I could have gotten a better rate. They were just trying to pull the wool over my eyes at the dealership in Daytona during bike week. But, by the time I found out I had qualified for the rate I wanted, I had already bought a Harley. I think both are excellent bikes. I think I’ll just stick to the Harley since that’s what I’m more use to now. As for you, get the bike! Let’s go riding. I’ll ride with any make.
I agree. Both are good bikes. Dishonest salespeople/dealerships tick me off, man. It really is the lowest of the low. Hope you are enjoying that Harley. Ride safe!
@@NoogaCowboy I’ve shopped (window shopped) at Crocket in Chattanooga before. I like the people there. My sister lives in that area. Maybe if I ever get a second bike, I’ll either look into the Challenger or the new Chief they’re coming out with.
@@RevJay_Rides I love the look of the new Chief but not sure I would buy one. Not because of performance or anything, I just want to move up to the Springfield, Chieftain, or Challenger. The Challenger is so agile and feels the same as my Scout. That being said, I'll most likely go with the Chieftain Dark Horse. Lol
@@NoogaCowboy I’ve ridden the Challenger a couple of times. The first one I rode was at Daytona Bike Week, I think last year. They were doing what they called “The Challenger Challenge”. I liked it. I have a friend who rode an older Goldwing who would only ride Honda until he rode that. He said he would buy a Challenger if he bought a new bike. That’s saying a lot for him. I’ll have to get my Limited paid for before I attempt to get another. The Challenger would be top on the list if I go with anything besides a Harley.
Love the two tone red!
Watched a video yesterday a guy picked up a leftover 2020 Roadmaster for $21,000.00. Lucky guy.
What a steal. I never get that lucky.
@@NoogaCowboy My first thought, exactly.
A couple thing that should be standard is, you should get the insert luggage for the saddle bags and tour pack and a toe/heal shifter. Solid machine though.
Agreed!
I've been to Crocketts a few times. Really nice people there. I will be trading in my HD Ultra for a Roadmaster limited very soon.
Just now seeing this so I apologize for the late response. They are GREAT people. You won't regret doing business with Crockett Powersports!
@@NoogaCowboy that's ok, I can understand that....I did trade my HD in, Sarah was good to work with. I got a Challenger Limited.
Love it
Do you know if that tour pack is removable?
I just rode the roadmaster limited at thunder beach demos. I did like it alot. Felt tiny compared to my ultra limited. Liked the clutch, bike rode good.i did notice the screen shook pretty good , kind of freaked me out. Did good until about 65 to 70 mph then it needs some tuning. Liked the cooling seat feature. The screen would have to be changed out, too small. Stereo is not as good as on my 17 ultra limited.maybe just the speakers. Did have a nice rumble to it. It's is badass. Why does the GPS look like it's reverse?
Sorry for the delayed response. I agree that it does seem smaller than it should. It's a good bike but it would not be my first pick.
Maybe you can test ride the HD limited for comparison. Or the Yamaha venture
415 KG!! I can't even imagine how people can ride (and enjoy) such heavy bikes!
,,,,,, Indian Power !
👊👊👊👊
I want one.
Whats with that navigation , the arrow is sideways , pointing back at the rider ? I would have to use my phone.
Setting set to screen showing north top
Parts of my Roadmaster I love. Other things I hate. It's really hard to find aftermarket stuff.
I'm sure Indian will sell you parts at a premium price. Hopefully, we'll see more aftermarket parts for the entire Indian lineup. 🤭👍
@@NoogaCowboy oh, I've paid that premium. Took 4 months to get my speakers lids, wrong ones sent. Looking at another 4 months they said.
@@semccane That's ridiculous. Hopefully, you'll get them soon and maybe one day Indian will realize we don't have money trees in the back yard.
Fuel mileage?
I think I did a wheelie. hahahah. Great video
Thanks for checking it out. 👊
Needs pipes bad. Too quiet. Beautiful bike dash is kinda funky. Kind of old school new school. Think I'm gonna demo ride one this spring. See how it compares to my ultra limited. Have a stage 2 kit on mine so I think the stock bikes will be a little disappointing. HD or Indian. Maybe challenger or goldwing
Good luck with it. I know a lot of people who are Goldwing fanatics so you would have plenty of company. That Challenger tho..👍🔥
I can ask you ?
Did they go back to the gage cluster like the 17 that people didn’t like? But I could never see myself spending 40 grand on a new bike like that so I will settle for used but it doesn’t matter Indian is made to last and ride for miles!!!
The Roadmaster is 30 grand not 40
@@slim56 With add ons we paid 52 thousand after taxes in Canada.
Dude... slow down the head bobbing the stoplight. It made me seasick.
at 10:20 sold me the bike.
She's a beast!
Attach your camera to your chest my friend. You are moving your head all around being aware of your surroundings and it’s hard to stay focused watching your video.
Breathing like you ran from the cops. 🙉
Agreed. I'm fat and out of breath.
Colossal 900 pound bike with a factory moped horn. Fail. Put some air horns on that ride!
Hahaha. Agreed! The horn needs to have some oomph behind it.
Go to the junk yard and find yourself a 60's Cadillac horn.
Sorry, but that's bla, bla and nothing else. You've no idea about bikes and testing... Wasted time!
