Has anyone rode one of these?

Looks like a plastic piece of junk thats trying to be a japanese Harley clone WTF , no character like the old Indians

I'm sure the handling would have plenty of character

Some of the Indians have tassels - but not just tassels. They have tassels held on with velcro so you can remove them. Just wondering which I'd be more embarrassed about; tassels or answering the question "what's the velcro for?".

She'd fall off the back 1st wheelie

I'd give her mouth to mouth if she broke a nail let alone fall off the back of a bike, after 26 years in the RN standards what are they !!??

a co-worker of mine bought a Cheiftan, he is very happy with it, has no intention of ever going back to Harley at all. His wife has a Dyno, they are now waiting for the Scout to be made available in 2015, to get rid of the Harley and buy one after test driving one at Sturgis. The scout competes with the sportster, has enough power for her< liquid cooled, etc. I have to admit, Polaris put a lot of thought and nice features into their design, I am not a fan of the big fender skirts, put it does stay true to the original designs.

Test rode the Chieftain a few times. Loved it. Just too darn expensive.

Nah, not my thing....nearly went for a Victory Hammer but that's as close as I'd get to that. The Rocket was borderline for me in the looks department but won me over because of the engine and good pillion support in all honesty, still prettier than that thing though. I can't stand the chrome covered custom look, it sucks to me...my rocket will slowly become more blackened and lose the trumpets over time....

Actually I do like the new Indians, you know. I was checking them out before I bought my Roadster this year.
But a Roadmaster is about USD 40k here, and then people are driving pretty fast on the Autobahns in Europe. So after I would spend a fortune on it, I'd be teased by minivans on the highway - because that mill gives me a whopping 73hp.

Congrats for everybody who doesn't mind, but I would feel uncomfortable. I prefer being able to just leave other traffic behind, at my discretion.

So, luckily there was another bike that looked phantastic, had a bigger engine with almost twice the power, and even sold for much less. Plus a great brand, and 10 decent years of model history. That's it, I took it right away. Best decision ever!

Husband and wife here in town got Indian Chief whatever they are, got one each .. fringes flapping around everywhere as they drone up and down the main drag. Truth is even Harley Dynas don't impress me anymore. Mate turned up on his brand new Dyna Superglide the other day (it's his 5th one ) .. just another Harley I thought... same as every other one.

Yes i just dont get the whole tassle thing.............

WELL the Rocket is only ugly if you want a bike that looks like a HARLEY My Rocket always draws a crowd no matter where I park even when there are row of Harleys next to it And the women really like the looks[/QUOT

Yes i just dont get the whole tassle thing.............

SAW an Indian run at the Drags and that thing was very slow even got beat by the stock Harleys YUCK another slowass Vtwin

 

[ScottishR3T]

Not a big fan of the new Indians. The tassle and chaps brigade are welcome to them

Maybe the tassels are like curb feelers??
