Has anyone rode one of these?

This bike has raised some interest for me and intend to ride one. Has anyone rode one? I have rode the Chiefton but this one will be somewhat different.

I don't think it'll be much different than the Chieftan riding wise other than a bit more wind protection with the lower fairing.

The Indian demo truck is coming to my area next weekend, I'm gonna try to get down there saturday morning. If I don't report back remind me.

I rode a Chieftain and liked it a lot. The electric shield is very nice and all the radio and cruise controls are convenient and very ergonomic. Initial power is good but a bit lacking as it revs up. Very comfortable bike for my short legs and long torso.

One thing I noticed is that the Indian and Victory bikes have some rattles-- fairing and bags my guess. My R3T doesn't rattle a bit. The power is okay but nothing close to the Rocket.

I was starting to wonder if I was the only person on the planet that thinks the new Indians are fugly.

The Indians and Rockets are both in a class of there own...The manufacturers are willing to go "outside the box".
I'm glad they did and I'm glad I own one.GRIN!!

Yea, they have gone overboard with nostalgic retro look or whatever that is. Can't put my finger on what's irritating about the looks of it all.
