Indian reviews

Its an absolute tank! Looks like a shiny new Harley Davidson, despite being 23 years old. Currently have 53,000 kms on it (about 33,000 miles). It sat in a basement not moving for 12 years, when I got it, it was under a half inch of grime. Cleaned the carbs and gas tank, dropped in a new battery, and it roared to life like it was driven yesterday. A day of cleaning and fluid changes, and it was like a brand new bike. Tourque for days, and with the suspension set to 4 it corners like a champ. Its amazing the lean it can get, and the power out of the turns!! Its a Honda. Nobody's quite sure how long they last, since if they are reasonably taken care of (read: occasional oil changes and try to avoid snow), they keep firing up and running forever. If you are reading this because you see a deal on an old one, and wondering if they are a good bike, do it. do it now. You're sitting in front of a computer (or phone) when you could be getting one of the best bikes on the road! Show less

The reasons I bought a 2019 Indian Scout 60 is because I like the size, and weight of the motorcycle. While this bike has plenty of power for its weight of 542 lbs, I don’t ever feel it’s too much for me to handle. I am a late (very) to riding motorcycles. The scout is well balanced I like the larger tires which give me more confidence with traction in mind. The leather seat is very comfortable and the rider position feels natural and upright without any awareness of a particular position - “it just feels right”. One stand out feature I am particularly impressed with is ABS brakes. I have read that insurance studies have shown a 37 % decrease in accident avoidance with this feature. The Indian Scout 60 has impressive acceleration and yet I find it easy to roll slowly on country roads chugging along enjoying a Sunday afternoon. Show less

I’ve owned and ridden big Jap cruisers, HD Road king and this Indian Roadmaster was by far the most comfortable. I road it from the East coast out to Sturgis in 2015 picked up a nail in the rear tire and the TPMS kept me clued in so I knew the tire pressure was going down before i could feel it or have a miss hap on the road. For a bike that weighs jus under a thousand pounds with me and gear on it, it handles like a dream. I’v’e put over 25000 miles on it these past 2 years and it hasn’t failed to keep a smile on my face yet. It runs very well with its 111Cubic Inh power plant and it looks as sweet as anything out there on the road. I love it, its been my best ride to date. Show less

My 1st memory of Indian M/C was @ 6 Yrs. of age. I saw an Old photo 1955 of my dad patrolling the George Washington Bridge - Port Authority Police NY & NJ. Fwd. 47 Yrs. - Sturgis S.D. Indian Unveils The Rebirth. On top of the Indian Museum, A Pearl Indian Chief sparking Color & Chrome. I Want This Bike, I need This Bike! Finally an Indian Dealership opens by my home, (N.J.) I walked in on Opening Day & See my bike. Sales person, "May i help you? Yes. It that Pearl Chief sold? No. It is Now, Please start the paperwork. Everywhere i ride, a Min. of 5 - 20 people walk up to take photo's & ask questions. "This is the Real Deal! This bike is Stunning!" India Show less

I'm in my 70s and have had many motorcycles from BSA, Triumphs, Harley's, trikes and last bike was a Victory Cross Country. The Chieftain is the most comfortable so for. For a big touring bagger its very nimble at slow parking lot speeds feels a lot lighter than it is, corners better than you would think. The drivers boards are a little too tight up against the engine and the heat on the right side is bad during the summer but you don't notice much in cooler weather. I am ordering spacers to move the boards out a little of course I wear a size 14 boot so people with normal feet may not notice it. I love the way it rides and sounds. Show less

Love this bike. Handles very well for such a long wheelbase. Power. Great power low-med rpm. Top is pretty good as well. Ride is very good solo, even better with a passenger. Looks. Stunning. 40 mpg. Love the cruise control. Show less

I bought a Indian Chieftain in November of 2014. and I love it like no other motorcycle I've ever ridden. I have ridden many types of motorcycles, the last was a 2008 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200. It was nice but the Indian Chieftain has options that Harley-Davidson only wish they had thought of. It has a 111 HP Stoker engine 1811cc of pure power. It also has a lA powered windshield that goes up and down like a car window. It has a faring with an on-board computer that links up to your smart phone and does anything that your smart phone can do - navigation, calls, searching internet, etc. a 100 watt stereo with am/FM aux., weather station, etc. It also has large spacious saddle bags with plenty of room for hauling whatever you want - just about anything. I can go on, but you just need to go see one yourself and check it out. I enjoy riding my bike like no other ride I've ever ridden. It's very smooth and comfortable. I give it 5 stars plus...go check it out. You will find something there that you have to ride and it will be better and cheaper that a Harley-Davidson. Show less

I have not ridden much since the 70's. Beyond the great looking lines on this bike, I was looking for a platform that fit me well and was easy to handle. After a sketchy ride in the neighborhood (my doing not the bike), I ventured out on the main roads for a day of riding. Riding cautiously I became comfortable after 134 miles, both city and open road riding. The following day I rode 177 miles. This bike is very comfortable, handles well, and has incredible power. It is also a great looking bike with people curious about Indian and happy to see a tradition coming alive again. Show less
