Me too, looks like a fatboy!Thanks! I’m very happy with it. I had originally looked at an HD Breakout but the Indian was cheaper, has a lot more tech, and a bigger motor at 116ci. Plus I like the retro styling
I like that, it looks compact. I thought air cooled engined died a couple of years ago due to emission laws?
The ariel square four had two pairs of in line cylinders with two crankshafts, the twindian looks to be v twin x 2 so not technically square? - it looks like a Allen Millyard creation. Is it a production model or a one of (sic) special?
The Chief handles amazingly well aside from the short maximum lean angle. I’ve had to alter my riding style since I brought it home. My first day riding it to work I found the right peg feeler when I leaned in to bomb a right hand sweeper. I learned to ride on sport bikes so my natural style is either “spirited” or “aggressive” depending on if you ask me or my wife - lol.I had a Victory Jackpot, and other than it handling like crap due to its low and wide stance, It was a very well built machine. I would not hesitate to pick up on of the new Indian offerings. One of my uncles has toured all over the US on one of their touring models, he has nothing but good things to say about them. That's a good looking bike!
Yea, the jackpot has a 250mm rear tire and sits very low. I used to routinely scrape the feelers on left hand turns from a stop and even the 2-1 exhaust I had on some twisties. It was a cool bike that looked and sounded awesome, just handled like pig with very short legs! Polaris makes a great bike, I'm sure you will be very happy with your bike for years to come. If I'm ever in the market for a new bike, I will be looking real hard at Indian.The Chief handles amazingly well aside from the short maximum lean angle.
