2023 FTR Black Metallic is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 56.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 FTR 1200 I purchased this bike a couple weeks ago and although I do not have a lot of miles on it yet, I really enjoy the comfort of the FTR 1200. I have been riding for 41 years and I have owned a lot of motorcycles. I sold my last bike 6 years ago believing I would never own another one. After seeing the FTR in person, doing research and the taking a test ride, I was hooked and had to have one. It has more than enough power and I was very excited about the riding position and comfort. I'm 57yrs. old and I get upper back and shoulder paid and I have not experienced it at all when I ride. I purchased the base model because I really like the black smoke color and I'm not a fan of electronics. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Bike I bought my FTR in April. It has a little over 1000 miles now. It's stylish and comfortable for me. I've ridden up to 250 miles in a day without feeling like I've just ridden 250 miles. I definitely recommend this bike to others and have gotten many good comments on the road.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from fail but nice i bought bike new. dealship gave me wrong one. they switched for the correct one. finally get to start up the bike after being on the road for two months. bike fails to start. have lights and full battery. have the trickle charge plug ready to plug in but find out it doesn’t seem to connect to battery. thinking battery was bad try to find replacement but couldn’t. call dealership and find out last time they looked at bike was in september. i got bike in march. after many hours googling problem came to find out polaris didn’t install the fuses very well and the fuse and relay for starter popped out. pushes in all fuses and now bike is running great. added a traction selector to bike now it’s becoming a great bike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great stock , Aftermarket makes it perfect Bought this leftover base model for a great price, made it my own and fixed the known fueling and cold start issues through aftermarket. Now runs great and is a blast anywhere!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Bike! I had a HD Night Rod Special before buying this bike, and I didn’t like the riding angle too much, or the way it handled, and bought this bike to replace it. I’ve got to say.. It is the most comfortable bike I’ve ever been on. The riding angle is perfect, and it handles phenomenal! It keeps pressure off my knees and lower back which is a huge plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow! I picked up this bike a week ago. Already have 200 miles on it. This is a super fun bike. I've been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and this thing makes me smile every time. Fit and finish is excellent along with a two year warranty. Can't beat that. Not a lot of aftermarket parts but hopefully the vendors will take notice. I've never had any stalling issues with my bike. It's a great machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great power After getting some miles on the the biggest thing I can say is that this bike is amazing. It handles well and looks like nothing else on the road. The only downfall in my opinion is when getting into longer rides, the fuel range is a little short (120-140 miles) and the stock seat starts to create a high pressure spot on the back of the legs on the edges. Other than that the bike handles highway speeds well and I can’t wait to see how it handles at higher elevations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent all around bike. I purchased my FTR in November last year and have enjoyed every ride so far. Excellent all around bike with great power and torque and looks that get a lot of compliments. Great purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It goes fast, and looks cool. I cannot describe how much I enjoy having something that goes as fast as it looks. This bike is mean, and with the right pipe on it, sounds mean. It goes fast, and looks cool. What more can I ask for from an investment :) Great compliment to my Chieftain in the garage. And its great to have a bike that stands out in a crowd of black Street Glides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very fun bike This bike is an absolute blast to ride. I'm a taller rider so the handle bar set-up is comfortable for me. The power to weight ratio of this bike is perfectly dialed in. The top end torque is impressive and exhilarating. Only minor issue I've had is it struggles a bit until reaching operating temperature, sometimes misfiring. I get excited every time I pull it out of the garage for a ride!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All I thought it would be I bought my ftr in August and have just now hit my 500 mile service. Bad weather and bad timing due to life has slowed the miles from flying by. After my service I have made a pledge to ride every chance I can. This motorcycle is a torque monster. The motor has no problem with low end as well as high end. Ample power is available at any point in time that you need it. I am very happy with my purchase. And as I said in the review title, it’s all I thought it would be... and then some. The only complaint I have is the bulky looking rear fender/license plate holder. It wasn’t a problem though. I relocated all of it under the seat and eliminated the bulky looking assembly. everything I wanted in a motorcycle the ftr 1200 has provided. It’s an awesome ride and can get the adrenaline pumping without breaking a sweat. Thank you Indian. It’s like you customized this bike just for me. Awesome.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very fast and muffler is tolerable Rear tires are Horrible they need to replace these. The rear tire drifts on the freeway. Cold starts are bad takes a while to warm up. Outside of those things I love the bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No regrets buying Enjoy riding everytime I'm on it. Has the right amount of power and control for me. It's a beautiful clean bike overall. A lot of details. This is actually my first on-road bike. Depending on the person, I wouldn't recommend to new riders with no experience. This bike can easily eat a person whole if they don't respect it nor understand the fundamentals of riding. Ftr has a range of about 120 miles per tank for me, not for long distance cruising for most. Somethings I don't like are the cold starts, it will idle rough and usually stalls engine with the stock ECU. It's a common issue that can easily be resolved. Catalytic converter and stock muffler are ugly and bulky. I would love to see more 1st/3rd party after market parts/upgrades. Should have 600-750cc variant also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exciting Motorcycle From the first, visual impression of the FTR1200, it’s an amazing machine. The styling and dirt track DNA immediately drew me in. Once the 1203cc engine fires up and the throaty rumble of the S&S exhaust graces your ear drums you quickly realize that this bike isn’t all looks, it’s even more about performance. The bike pulls hard from a start, but wakes up at speed when the motor revs above 6k. On a quick weekend trip to the mountains, I rode 255 miles on the highway to a secluded cabin. No problem. Cruise control is a blessing. Once in the mountains, I hit the back gravel roads and immediately felt like I could power slide and drift every corner. The FTR instills confidence as it is so stable and loves to go sideways. Then I hit the pavement of the windy mountain roads. With a 45 degree lean angle carving the curves at speed was a blast. For the price rang of the FTR, anyone would be hard pressed to find a better looking, more versatile bike. 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This bike delivers and just feels special I bought this bike at the start of spring and haven't been able to stop riding it since. The power, handling and character all combine for a thrilling but balanced ride. The style is authentic and sporty. My other poor other bikes have just been sitting now. I can't find any flaws with this bike unless I nitpick. I am happy to see Indian going a new direction and making something cool instead of just then another "crusier". This V-Twin is just superb and the bike makes you feel special. Well done Indian and I couldn't be happier with this machine.

FTR R Carbon
Starting at $17,249 US MSRP
2023 FTR R Carbon Carbon Fiber is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 35.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jimmy's FTR 1200 Carbon R As an older sport bike rider with arthritis in my wrist and thumb, it's a perfect riding position for me and I can still enjoy the twistys. The cruise control is another nice feature for lengthy rides.
Date published: 2022-10-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Handles like a dream This bike handle impressively well. Throttle response is beautiful. This bike will make you smile every time you ride it. Tons of mods after market and through Indian. Bike does great in town and on the highway. Distance can be an issue if you don't plan fuel stops but you can get where your going quick so you’ll have plenty if time to stop. All in all this bike is well rounded and can be modified for almost any rider out there. Places I wish Indian would have put more thought towards would he keyless ignition and at the very least CarPlay/Android version so you could do nav on the dash display.
Date published: 2022-09-18
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Good bike but has a lot of little annoying things. I do like the bike overall it has a lot of power and cruises nice. Im disappointed in seeing a welded cat and the limited amount of aftermarket exhausts. Also the tune on the bike is very bad from factory. The start ups are very rough and will occasionally die and the idle is all over the place. Also the engine breaking is very unpredictable. The shifting is also very clunky and slow, i would of liked to see a quick shift/ auto blipper for how much the bike was. But over all im on the fence about the bike it has as many goods as bads.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 Indian FTR R Carbon Experience Absolute monster of a machine. Handles like a dream, GREAT power from idle to redline. My former bikes are cruisers and sport bikes, and this is by far the most fun I’ve had on two wheels. It could be louder, but I’m about to fix that

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Point n shoot…. With a twist It’s been 2 months since I bought my Carbon R, light, agile and blindingly quick, handles predictively in corners and very forgiving 10/10 would recommend
Date published: 2021-10-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic engine, chassi but lacking features 500 miles in about six weeks. Lots of power and agility in a completely predictable and reliable ride. It’s fast! Great build quality and finish. Not only that, but it is beautifully designed too! The negative is that some features considered normal in a top of the line product like this are missing, not even existing as optional. These are; 1. No GPS support in the dash. Highly irritating. 2. Levers are not adjustable. It would be so easy to include this from the start. 3. Fuel cap comes loose when opened. What were you thinking? 4. Old school metal key. Keyless, at least as an option, would have been more in line with the times. All these things considered, I still love the bike. Did I say it is beautiful too? And fast!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected Bought it and love the bike. It accelerates and corners like nothing else I have ever owned. The technology is helpful and not in the way of the riding experience at all.
Date published: 2021-10-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Bike This really is an amazing bike. Overall the bike is incredible. Really feels like a true naked sport bike. It's could use a little more top end power to truly compete in this class but power isn't everything. The Ohlin suspension is great to say the least. Overall fit and finish of the bike is very good. The color theme of the bike is spot on as a factory race replica and love all of the true carbon fiber body work. I do wish Indian would have included for carbon accents rather than making us buy them as accessories. It is called the Carbon after all. It make a great addition to the garage next to my Challenger.Love that's it's an American made quality motorcycle.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good all around bike Have a little over 1000 miles since purchasing a few weeks ago. Bike handles great, smooth linear performance. Great looking l, brakes, suspension too. The only negatives 1)The bike will randomly stall at traffic lights at least 2 or 3 times on a typical riding day. 2) I bought the FTR Carbon and thought I’d have m upgraded nice seat. No such luck the seat is beyond miserable after 100 miles in the saddle. Have a Corbin on order, hope that solves it. Other than those two items that I’d love solved , the bike is awesome

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this Bike! I bought my FTR R Carbon about a month ago. Due to some really poor weather conditions I just got through my 500 mile break in period the other day. This bike is an absolute blast to ride! The power is outstanding. The handling is amazing. And the bike is gorgeous! Lots of people have no idea what it is and have never seen one. Get out to a demo if you have the oppurtunity. I think you may just decide that you need one of these in your stable.
Date published: 2021-08-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just as I had hoped for! I'm not one to carry on, but I bought my 2022 FTR R Carbon after some seriously exhaustive research. There are lots of bikes that really do compete in one area or the other. I felt that for me, there was not another bike that offered even 2/3 of what I valued as important. (aesthetics, build quality, performance, usable features) I would say that, overall, aesthetically, there were zero peers for this machine, though there are some very nice alternatives. I really like the content put into this machine, I don't like buying something only to start buying more things. I did add ProTaper handlebars from the Rally model, but that was all I had changed prior to delivery. To be fair, the fuel tank size is tragically, embarrassingly small. But (keeping in the vein of full disclosure) I don't plan on long, cross country rides, so this wasn't a deciding factor for me, personally. I don't see me getting rid of this one for the foreseeable future, as she is a keeper!
Date published: 2021-08-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by from It really is all the hype says it is I am so happy I decided to go with the 2022. Not that there is anything wrong with the previous models. However those little tweaks have made handling so great. The big difference Being if you get yourself in trouble in a corner you can lean forward over the bars/tank/airbox and that front rake with the 17” front, bails you out of trouble and is forgiving. The styling is nice.
Date published: 2021-08-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Dream Bike I have about 2k miles on mine so far and absolutely love it! Only thing it’s lacking is gps functionality on the ride command. It’s the only ride command system without it! Also a retune to smooth out the engine surging would be nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A sweet sweet bike got this about a month ago and have 1500 miles so far. I love EVERYTHING about this bike EXCEPT......... the heat BUT at when moving the heat goes away (unless you touch the frame on the right side... ouch). Id wish the seat had some heat resistant shielding under it or something to help with the booty heat but other than that its great. OH and get some parts on cyclegear! i want to buy stuff for this bike but it is still not available on their website, I would love to buy some Roland Sands stuff for it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Looker with some Torque Unique bike in regard to looks and engine. Sure seems like 170 hp to me. Handles and brakes well. Carbon version seat not as comfortable. Don't need a quick shifter never had a bike that clustchless shifts as well. Only real down side is the 3.5 gallon fuel tank Filling up every ride/ 100 miles Micky Mouse mirrors have to go unfortunately the Rizoma accessory mirrors still back ordered Would have been nice to have them available when bike released

Date published: 2021-07-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bike I always liked the FTR, when I wanted to add a third motorcycle and when I found the FTR R Carbon I knew I wanted one. I liked some of the changes to the 2022 but not all of them. I liked the lowered seat height, at 5'11" I can flat foot so the old seat height would have been fine but I may have no been able to flat foot it. I also like is the 17 inch rims because of the tire selection, the stock tire is a quality tire. The Ohlins suspension is very good, I wont be taking this bike to the track but I am very happy with the suspension. So far my biggest complaint is the welded cat and having t o drill a hole in the mufflers to remove the baffle. My other complaints are very minor like the bezzels on the ride command are very large, also when removing the license plate bracket the frame wasn't painted underneath. My last critique is that the stock seat could be more comfortable, it is a good looking seat with the FTR logo on it and I dont want to swap it out but I might have to. Overall it is a well rounded feature packed bike that looks very good. I am glad I got one of the 750 Carbons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic ride! I originally went to a demo event to try the new chief, and had no intentions of ever owning an FTR. And then I rode one. I put down my deposit as soon as the test ride was over. This has quickly become my favorite ride in my stable.
Date published: 2021-06-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2022 FTR Carbon I love everything about it except the seat height - I am 6'4" and while I understand Indian had to "fix" the average inseam problem, it doesn't fit me as is. But that is fixable. The only thing that would make it better is if it was belt drive and made in East Troy, Wisconsin. But oh yeah - that is why I bought my FTR in the first place.

2023 FTR Sport Black Metallic is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 105.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW Can’t believe I waited so long to get my FTR. Love at first sight but unsure it was the right bike for me. No question it’s the right bike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Miles of smiles! Ever since the 2019 I have been in love with the look of the FTR. Wasn’t until YT personalities were reviewing the 2022 I realized it was time to make the jump. The bike is smooth, responsive, and sounds wonderful. In the moment I threw my leg over I felt like I was one with the bike. I would’ve really liked it if there was navigation on the control. Personally I would’ve liked the foot controls a little more centered but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. Wife and kids did sat the passenger pegs could also be a little lower. Overall I am more than happy with the Bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smile Machine I bought this a couple of months ago, it had been 20 plus years since I have owned a motorcycle. I am very impressed with the power and torque, I’m sure smaller sport bikes might be faster, but they don’t have the roll on torque. Fun machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fun, powerful bike with great features I have had it a few months now. Really enjoy the ride. My other ride is an FZ-07. This feels like the big brother to that type of bike. Fun is the biggest feature. The handling is intuitive and there is power in ANY gear. Like most owners, I have done a few things to make it my own, but you could ride it stock and be happy with it. A couple of my minor nit-picks are that the clutch lever is not adjustable, and there is no storage at all. Not even a place to put your insurance card and registration.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very fun to ride I started looking at the ftr about 2 months before buying it and had to have it. Has great power, very nimble and looks amazing. Put about 1800 km on the bike so far and have not found anything that makes me second guess my purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A Fun Motorcycle, but there are flaws I have had the FTR1200S Race Replica for nearly two months now and it has been a fantastic ride. It is balanced, it is powerful, it is a great handling machine. However, the issue that this machine has lies within the engine tuning. It is of course designed to be leaned out to meet emissions and also the first gen engine does have injectors in a different point within the head than the new. This does mean this machine is not hop and dash what-so-ever, which can be an issue from time to time. It wants it's time to heat up to about 140 with stock equipment to get running happy and not hiccup. Try to go earlier and it will make you pay with fueling hiccups and stalls. Although this does not hurt my perception of an exceptional machine it is something that is a bit of an over sight from the engineers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from ONE OF A KIND BIKE Love the look, except the rear fender. Wish they did something different. There is no storage at all, not even for a registration or insurance card. There is loads of power and super fun to ride. Upright position is great once I switched to the Rally bars. Great information display even in direct sunlight. Throttle a little touchy but I think there is an update for this. The tires are surprisingly grippy even on dirt or gravel roads. Can easily ride until you need gas which is usually about 100-120 miles. Slight negative on the fuel fill up but not terrible. The tank could be bigger for sure. Well balanced, wheelies easy until you become used to it. Too quiet. I needed to remove the baffles but all in all highly recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Back Road Heaven I'm really enjoying this bike. I like to carve twistie back roads and this bike does it better than most (I have owned over 50 motorcycles in my life). Power is very good, particularly low end grunt pulling out of corners. It may seem a little tall to some but the little extra height and the wide bars make it a delight to ride on roads with lots of transitioning from side to side. While I know it is not a "true" flat tracker, the styling is flat track. And that styling carries some inherent behavior with it so when the road turns to gravel or dirt this bike is very comfortable. The flat-ish seat that blends into the tank makes it easy to move back and forth transferring weight from one tire to the other depending on what you are doing. I'm not a wheelie guy, but if that is your thing this bike does them easily. And when it's time to hit the slab to get from one set of twisties to the next, there is cruise control. Such a nice addition. My only issues are driven by the EPA or the DOT or some other Gov't agency. I find the exhaust to be too quiet for such a muscle bike and the mirrors don't work very well for my height and build. These are pretty minor complaints for a bike that I find just about perfect in every other aspect. It has taken a lot of years and a lot of bikes, but I may have found my perfect bike. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Motorcycle I finally pulled the trigger an bought the exact motorcycle I wanted! I love the seating position, and the engine pulls like a freight train at any RPM. The build quality is great with quality materials and construction used though out the bike. Initially had some cold start issues that were easily resolved with a PV3 tuner from DynoJet and Fuel Moto. I also added a S&S slip-on exhaust, and a Corbin tail tidy to move the liscense plate under the seat. The TFT digital display is great, easy to read in any light and super informative, it can also link to your phone and helmet speakers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Almost perfect The good: The bike that needed to be made. Great power, handling and features. A joy to ride and to look at. The bad: 90 mile distance to the gas station gets old. The fueling is. Joke, needs to idle for 5 minutes until the temp gets to 160 because if not it will stall on you. It stalls several times at idle and for a Fi bike, no reason for that. My engine light came on and when I took it to the dealer they charged me 35 bucks to clear it. It came on AGAIN, but turned off on its own. I hope it doesn’t come on again. And lastly, this is my first and only bike which doesn’t have a quick key release for the seat? Why not? Now I can’t store little stuff and where do I put my insurance ID card? Oh wait, not last, I wish I had an option to remove the baffles off of the exhaust.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well Okay I made the mistake of buying my bike in February. February in Kansas is the worst part of winter. I haven't had many chances to ride it and most of the work I have done on it is change the muffler from stock and the mirrors also. The couple of times I have been on the bike have been really nice. People take notice of it and want to talk about it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels Like Americana I was unsure what to make of the complaints about the cold blooded nature of this bike. Since I live in FL it wasn’t ever going to be cold enough to really matter though. I don’t mind waiting a few minutes while it warms up to start my journey. Usually start the Ftr and put on my jacket an gloves. Then I mount my phone and and ready to ride. The bike warms up pretty quickly in the 60-70 temperature. Once I’m riding the bike is a ton of fun to ride. The low end torque means you don’t have to really be precise in gear selection as the v-twin just pulls right along. Reminds you of a v-8 Mustang/Camaro. It’s not the fastest or best handling bike money can buy but I bought it to cruise around town and have fun on. I picked this Indian over the Bmw NineT because it’s just more of everything that’s fun about this type of bike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great concept and performance I love the bike, installing lots of extras - which are easy to install, albeit pricey. Things I like: Touch screen (and USB port), power, styling, exhaust isn't obnoxious and it is decently comfortable for shorter rides. Things I don't like: cold starts, stock tires are a bit slick, and the comfort of the seat. I purchased the rally seat as it is slightly more comfortable, but I wouldn't go on rides over 200 miles with either seat and expect to have a non-numb booty. I am expecting Indian to provide an ECU flash to fix the cold start issue (yes, it is really an issue). Indian - please help us with this. We all would appreciate it (especially in the northern states). This is my reason for giving it 4 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great ride! I traded in my Ducati Monster because I loved the look of this machine. It’s nimble, very torquey and very fun. Once you’re done with the break in period, switch it to sport mode and be amazed at the power. The stock tires are a little loosely goosey in the corners. I rode it through the rain of a tropical storm, rain mode sure got its test and performed outstandingly. It turns a lot of heads and props a lot of questions. Highly recommend to anyone.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lot of fun but ride is jerky and throws off too mu Bought a month ago, traded in a CBR600RR so the change was pretty stark. I know it will take time to get used to the lumbering acceleration but I’m getting there. Really don’t like the intense heat thrown onto my heights during hot days, but didn’t notice as much during a cool day drive. Not sure if it’s normal but there is a cycling rhythm that’s pretty annoy,ing. Maybe it’s a loose change that will be fixed when I have the 500 mile service. Feels like the engine is missing very methodically. Lastly, no fault of the bike, it’s just slightly too tall for me and I can’t get both feet flat on the ground. Thought that wouldn’t matter but it puts a good bit of pressure on my legs when standing at stops.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from big guy on a small bike ! I am a 380lbs. 6 foot 2 inch man. the scout 60 fits me fine and has no power issues packing me around. I die add the extended reach seat. also, an 8 in app hanger would be best for taller riders. the reason for the one star us based on the shocks, and mirror arms. I belive there could have been a way better stock shock added to this bike then what's on it now. also, the mirror arms are short. makes it difficult to adjust for tall riders. over all the scout 60 is a great beginner bike. and with modifications, it can be a great town bike. not to sure about long highway runs yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rides as good as it looks! This bike is a ton of fun. It's a middleweight cruiser that handles and feels very light and nimble. It's got tons of power too! The looks of the bike are awesome as well (I constantly get compliments from friends and complete strangers). The only two (minor) complaints I have are that the stock seat is a bit rough and the stock exhaust note could be better (I personally like a louder note, but not all will agree). Those issues are in no way reasons not to get the bike though, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a cruiser!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great at what its meant to be Own a ‘21 scout sixty and absolutely love it. It is easy to handle making it great for any level of rider. Power is great for the size. Long trips are rough on the body without significant aftermarket upgrades and passengers wont like it, period. Exhaust is weak and is laughable but some slip ons change that no problem. Overall cant ask for anything more for $9400 and its surprising you get as much as you do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Bike Have owned the scout 60 for a little over a month and am extremely satisfied with it. Added a tank bag, 21 inch quick release wind screen, and footboards to replace the stock pegs. Slight adjustment on the shifter to allow foot under the shifter and all was good. Excellent handling and ease of use. Power is good making throttle response and acceleration feel lively. Sound is muted but removing the baffles cured that issue. Overall look is beautiful and the accessories are available to make it your own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly perfect Outstanding sales rep and mechanic at Bestline in State College PA made my purchase a pleasant one. I would offer two suggestions to Indian: 1. Provide a gas gauge. Please! 2. A slightly lower first gear would be welcome. Starting out on gravel or grass often results in either overly slipping the clutch (irritating), or stalling the bike (embarrassing). The snap on one of my otherwise gorgeous tan saddle bags is not sewn properly, so that the flap does not lay flat. Not a big issue, perhaps, but for bags that cost over one thousand dollars…!?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Handling and Fun to ride I traded in a larger bike and I am so glad that I did. The Scout Sixty is perfect for me. It has a low seat and low center of gravity. The main thing is how nimble and easy to handle it is. I also love the look of it.

Scout
Starting at $13,249 US MSRP
2023 Scout Black Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 1110.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Spectacular ride I got my Scout a little over a month ago and have already put over 1200 miles on it. The Orange Icon color is beautiful. It is very light and the amount of power it has is amazing. I wish it had a toolbox or small storage for registration. There is no vibration at high speed, and the mirrors remain steady at 80mph+ but with the added windshield it does have a tiny bit of wobble when near a 18-wheeler but with the amount of power the bike has it is very easy to get around them. I upgraded from a Shadow and this is a perfect upgrade. It has everything that I was looking for. ABS and in the 1100-1300cc range, and power. The bike is pretty quiet but I was over having ridiculously loud pipes and getting a headache or tinnitus from riding all day. The USB charger isn't powerful enough to charge a phone while the screen is on using maps but it does charge while it is off or it charges a bluetooth headset. It is very light so it handles extremely well. I do wish it had a slightly larger gas tank. I get about 120 miles before the reserve comes on. all highspeed highway miles. When the radiator fan comes on it is VERY hot. It is still an amazing machine with instant throttle response.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolute Beast! 2022 Scout Bobber Twenty You have to understand the assignment. If it is a Bobber, it will ride like a hardtail, period! Enhance the ride with the Indian-branded Fox piggyback shocks. Emission requirements dictate how your bike sounds from the factory. Don't complain about it. Get the upgrade to suit you. With that out of the way, this bike turns heads everywhere I go. It is a rolling work of art. It exceeded all of my expectations ordering it sight unseen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beauty in Engineering The characteristics of this engine are extremely impressive. The noise and feel it gives off makes me smile. It's smooth classy at low speeds and when you open it up on the freeway it shows it's teeth. The roar it makes touches the soul. Found myself giggling inside my helmet as I flew through a heavy downpour at 80mph on the way back from the dealership. Being a soldier means having to put up with things that most civilians would think ridiculous, but to us it's only work. No matter what happens I can always get on my bike and feel better. Work hard play hard. I'm 5'10" and this bike fits me perfectly. I was worried at first that due to the low ground clearance I would be dragging on tight turns, but that isn't the case. The clutch is very good and what's this, a USB port!!! How many other brands and modern designs don't automatically include this or make you pay extra to get it? Owned it less than a month and had over a dozen people tell me I have a nice bike. Yes, indeed I do. I'll be spending some money to accessorize this to my liking, speaking of which, a great many companies offer parts so the options are limitless. Going full speed towards my first service I'll be doing my own oil using the Indian brand oil change kit they offer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First Indian Motorcycle. I have had this 2022 maroon metallic Scout ABS for a few months. I wanted something with a decent size liquid cooled twin engine and on the lighter side for weight. There is a lot about the Scout that I like. The powerful engine, 6 speed tranny that shifts better than anything I have had previously, the fuel economy, vintage look, maneuverability, brand name accessories, and where it is built. The paint, fit and finish are high quality. The motor is very responsive and it does provide a subtle rumble. This isn't a loud thumper with the stock exhaust. I get in the 50s for gas mileage so fuel economy is great! I bought the Indian extended reach seat and that proved to be comfortable, I haven't got sore riding for an hour. The speedometer has digital functions like tach, clock, trip meter, odometer, and even a battery gage. This is switched via a toggle lever near the left side handlebar grip. I have been impressed with how well this Scout handles! It's nimble. The brakes work very well with no skidding but excellent stopping power. I like the vintage look with the long fenders. These bikes are customizable with many options for seats, handlebars, headlights, windshields. The accessories from Indian motorcycle have all fit well. This is my favorite of any bike I have owned. And it's built in midwest America.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Indian Scout I lucked out even finding this bike! I have been waiting two year. the first time I sat on one two years ago. I knew it was perfect. What I didn’t know is the power, handling ability, and snap that this bike has. Perfectly balanced, easy to maneuver, and quick doesn’t explain this bike. I have had makes and females alike stop to ask about it. Even ‘die-hard’ bikers from that other major manufacturer that want to go test out their local dealerships now! I added a few aftermarket items, wind deflector/ shield, front rider floor boards instead of pegs, changed the shifter and brake pegs to a flat style peg, locking leather bags, and slip on pipes, .... I am sure there is something else too ... The sales team and everyone at NorthAmerican Warhorse we’re phenomenal! Joe, Kenny, Tim all were fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone as they know what they are talking about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Bike I got my Scout in mid Oct. and by the end of Nov I already put 600 miles on it. She is a great ride with smooth shifting and quick pick up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2020 Indian Scout 100th Anniversary - Best bike I have only owned 4 other motorcycles but now that I am retired, I own the best. This Special Edition Indian Scout is the nicest motorcycle I have ever owned. The speed and power are unbelievable and I can't park it anywhere without people coming up to me to talk about this beautiful bike. Beig vertically challenged, I had a reducer reach seat and foot controls added and this bike fits me like a glove. I was a bit concerned about purchasing this bike as I had not owned a motorcycle for some years, but it was so easy to become comfortable on it. After the test ride, I was sold and couldn't wait to take delivery. It hasn't disappointed me and I am very particular with what I buy. I have since ordered the Quick Release Windshield and am waiting for that to arrive. I would highly recommend the Indian Scout to anyone looking to get into a great, easy to ride motorcycle

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Too much fun Have owned Hondas and BMWs. I find riding the Indian Scout to be the most fun of them all. Plenty of power and classic good looks make it my favorite bike to date.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great ride! Poor starting The motorcycle is a great ride with plenty of power. The only concern I have is that I never know when it will start and when it won't. This causes some anxiety whenever I take it anywhere and will be turning it off as I do not know how I will be returning home. That being said I have not had the chance to take it to the shop to have them repair the issue either.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It fits me perfectly ! I bought it about 2 months ago so I could ride with my son. He lost his riding partner. He had to move away for his new job. We have had a blast riding together. The Scout fits me perfectly and I am truly enjoying getting out to ride again. I am looking forward to adding a few amenities to truly make it mine….

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent bike I bought the bike about two months ago, and have put about 1500 miles on it since purchase. It's a real pleasure to ride, plenty of power, smooth, and a head-turner. Two things Indian could do better on future models: (1) add a helmet lock; (2) add a center-stand. The former of these is easy enough to add on yourself. The latter is essential if you're going to do any serious work on the bike yourself.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I love the power range. Plenty of low end torque I am happy with my purchase. I needed a lighter bike that was comfortable and this bike meets my needs. Concerns are small gas tank, lack of fork lock, no engine shut off with kick stand down. It feels a little light at highway speeds 75/80 but I anticipated this.

Scout Bobber
Starting at $12,249 US MSRP
2023 Scout Bobber Black Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 680.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best bike I've owned I absolutely love my scout bobber. Always been a crotch rocket guy. Decided to buy an indian and have no regrets. Smooth shifting, all the power I need and it corners like a crotch rocket. So glad I finally bought my indian

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great looking motorcyle and very fun to ride. Have only owned for a couple of months. Spring is just now beginning, so just now putting some miles on the bike. Love the looks and very fun to ride. But, for the cost, there should have been some fundamental features that did not come with the bike, i.e. fuel gauge and analog tachometer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My number one bike I bought my 22’ Indian scout bobber the end of February. Still working on breaking the bike in but so far it’s been amazing. When you want to cruise. The bike is fine with it and when you’re ready to have fun. Been prepared for the bike to almost leave you. At around 55k-6k it almost snatches you out the seat. A Dream bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 23 Scout bobber 60 spirit blue smoke I saw this color in the '23 brochure and fell in love. I was going to get a full scout but this color combined with the blacked out heads and tank lettering had me sold. I upgraded to the piggyback shocks to deal with the hard stock suspension which is a must. The stock exhaust is quiet but easily modified. The LED headlight upgrade was also a must. A few of the accessories I wanted we're back ordered like the USB upgrade. Hopefully it'll come in soon. It has plenty of power and torque and gets lots of attention and complements. Even Harley owners love it. It's a great bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific Bike! Best bike I've ever owned. No joke. However, there is ONE manufacturing oversight that really needs to be addresed : The Rear Reflectors. They are held on by sticky tape, which peeled off easily when trying to attach the reflectors. They need to make these 'permanent' fixtures of the bike and not with sticky tape. Not sure what they were thinking (or lack thereof) but with the elements that comes with riding a bike the reflectors will eventually fall off. (I used Alien Tape to secure them. Much better than the 3M tape Indian used) Aside from that...... its perfect!! I gave 5 stars on all categories but 1 (Fit and Finish) because of the rear reflector issue. Honestly, this should be a recall issue so they can be 'permanently attached'.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Power and thrills I bought my bobber in October and have been riding it every chance I get. I love the look and the power on this bike. I am a first time rider and the scout bobber turns out to be the perfect choice for me. Right height, right feel, and did I already mention the power. It is taxing on long rides ( the ride position adds some straining on my neck with my full face helmet after a couple hours) but the thrill of the ride with the responsive throttle makes it more than worth it.

I ordered all my upgrades at that time. Indian makes a gorgeous bike. There are a few things I'd wish were different. If you're looking for a loud bike, you need aftermarket pipes. There's is NO fuel display... Completely mind blowing. So, do quick math or set your odometer to track it... Polaris, get with the program and fix this. For order turn around time: I ordered the bike on mAy 14, and it came in Aug 07. Everything was put on at the dealership, and it's gorgeous. I'm still waiting on footboards, as of Oct 17.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 22 Scout Bobber Non ABS I ordered my bike on 2/25/22 and picked it up 8/09/22. This was a very long wait in my opinion but I'm thrilled with what I received. I love this bike and don't ever see me selling it or trading it in for another. I went with the thunder black metallic finish cause I didn't see spending this type of money for something that looks like it's primers regardless of how some people think that finish is attractive or cool. I loved the paint more after I got the bike home and gave it its first wash and wax. It looks like a black mirror. The blacked out finish is nice to a degree but begs for some chrome here and there for contrast. The bike looks and runs awesome. About the only things I'd change about it mechanically is I feel like the engine idle speed is a touch high. At operating temperature it idles at 1150. I feel like this should come down to around 850-950. It wants to immediately take off when the clutch is released without applying any throttle. I've tested this out and went down the road just on idle and have easily been able to upshift to 2nd gear. The other mechanical change I'd like to see is quieter bearings in the electric fan. It's pretty well loud and the first time I heard it I thought something was wrong with the bike. I changed the stock exhaust out for something much louder and I can still hear the fan. The bike handles great and its done everything I've asked it to do with ease. The stock seat is annoying and doesn't hold you in place. I plan on changing this to something much better soon. The biggest issue that I have with this bike is that I can't seem to be able to go anywhere and not attract attention and be able to get in and out of somewhere quickly. It never fails that atleast 2 or 3 people approach me with compliments and questions. If you don't like attention or aren't a people person then thus bike probably isn't for you. Also, i live in a rural and heavily agricultural area in southside Virginia. This is a gorgeous place to live and ride. Im blessed with lots of natural scenery, windy backgrounds and very close to a state park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Not all my riding happens on pavement is my point. Ive riden on dirt, gravel and grassy fields and had full confidence in this bike the entire time. This bike is not at all a dirt bike but it does great on some limited and light offroad use. This fits completely with my perceptions of Indian bikes and how they started ovet 100 years ago. These bikes were riden on unpaved roads, in pastures and even on battlefields. I've loved Indian bikes all my life but thus is the first time I've had the pleasure of owning one. I visited several brand dealerships before my purchase and sat on many a seat but I didn't feel like it was for me until I sat on an Indian Scout. This is an unusual bike and people stare at it like it's a spaceship or something like that. I really like that it's different. I like my bikes the way I like my women and that is uncommon and not one that everyone else in creation has had. If you want to be one of the masses then buy an HD, If you appreciate being an Individual then buy an Indian. Thank you Polaris for building a truly awesome bike and I feel sure it will probably outlive me and still be riding down the road decades from now like Indians are known to do.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish Ride Really happy with the look and performance of the bike but can't give it 5 stars (which it deserves) due to the appalling stock seat and equally appalling rear suspension! Have since changed seats and suspension (front and rear progressive) plus added an LED headlight which really should have been standard amongst many other personal performance and cosmetic changes that Indian is very much lacking in ability to supply, Indian really needs to do better here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an adventure My entire life as a rider, I have always given my attention to the Asian ladies (sport bikes) as they always tickled my speed rush and road hugging. Now that I’m older and my back not all that great, I gave our American big bone babies a chance. And wow not what I expected, the power and capabilities this scout has..oh my after some upgrades the sound of American muscle built here in the states has me very pleased and happy…always looking for a chance to take her out and get her screaming but yet sidle comfort ride. I do say I’m happy Indian has my full attention.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish Ride Really happy with the look and performance of the bike but can't give it 5 stars (which it deserves) due to the appalling stock seat and equally appalling rear suspension! Have since changed seats and suspension (front and rear progressive) plus added an LED headlight which really should have been standard amongst many other personal performance and cosmetic changes that Indian is very much lacking in ability to supply, Indian really needs to do better here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an adventure My entire life as a rider, I have always given my attention to the Asian ladies (sport bikes) as they always tickled my speed rush and road hugging. Now that I’m older and my back not all that great, I gave our American big bone babies a chance. And wow not what I expected, the power and capabilities this scout has..oh my after some upgrades the sound of American muscle built here in the states has me very pleased and happy…always looking for a chance to take her out and get her screaming but yet sidle comfort ride.

Scout Bobber Twenty
Starting at $13,249 US MSRP
2023 Scout Bobber Twenty Black Metallic is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 680.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best bike I've owned I absolutely love my scout bobber. Always been a crotch rocket guy. Decided to buy an indian and have no regrets. Smooth shifting, all the power I need and it corners like a crotch rocket. So glad I finally bought my indian

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great looking motorcyle and very fun to ride. Have only owned for a couple of months. Spring is just now beginning, so just now putting some miles on the bike. Love the looks and very fun to ride. But, for the cost, there should have been some fundamental features that did not come with the bike, i.e. fuel gauge and analog tachometer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My number one bike I bought my 22’ Indian scout bobber the end of February. Still working on breaking the bike in but so far it’s been amazing. When you want to cruise. The bike is fine with it and when you’re ready to have fun. Been prepared for the bike to almost leave you. At around 55k-6k it almost snatches you out the seat. A Dream bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 23 Scout bobber 60 spirit blue smoke I saw this color in the '23 brochure and fell in love. I was going to get a full scout but this color combined with the blacked out heads and tank lettering had me sold. I upgraded to the piggyback shocks to deal with the hard stock suspension which is a must. The stock exhaust is quiet but easily modified. The LED headlight upgrade was also a must. A few of the accessories I wanted we're back ordered like the USB upgrade. Hopefully it'll come in soon. It has plenty of power and torque and gets lots of attention and complements. Even Harley owners love it. It's a great bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific Bike! Best bike I've ever owned. No joke. However, there is ONE manufacturing oversight that really needs to be addresed : The Rear Reflectors. They are held on by sticky tape, which peeled off easily when trying to attach the reflectors. They need to make these 'permanent' fixtures of the bike and not with sticky tape. Not sure what they were thinking (or lack thereof) but with the elements that comes with riding a bike the reflectors will eventually fall off. (I used Alien Tape to secure them. Much better than the 3M tape Indian used) Aside from that...... its perfect!! I gave 5 stars on all categories but 1 (Fit and Finish) because of the rear reflector issue. Honestly, this should be a recall issue so they can be 'permanently attached'.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Power and thrills I bought my bobber in October and have been riding it every chance I get. I love the look and the power on this bike. I am a first time rider and the scout bobber turns out to be the perfect choice for me. Right height, right feel, and did I already mention the power. It is taxing on long rides ( the ride position adds some straining on my neck with my full face helmet after a couple hours) but the thrill of the ride with the responsive throttle makes it more than worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it. Reminds me of my younger days. I have been playing with and loving motorcycles since I was 12. I am now 72. Although It is a modern motorcycle, I love the relative simplicity of it. Not a lot of unneeded electronics. I spent 25 years in the USCG and owned beaucoup motorcycles, sometimes 3 at a time. This one is a keeper. It kind of reminds me of my first motorcycle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best decision I've had my Scout since September and I have to say it gets better and better the more I ride it. I carefully reviewed several other bikes before my purchase and knew it was the best choice for me. It has superb handling and is a looker as it's always getting stares lol. Even though I had to wait so long it was totally worth it. Indian also supported me with a gift when I purchased because I was a veteran. A+ to a company that show its support for military. Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from In love I bought my very first bike to celebrate my 40th birthday. It's the 2022 Scout Bobber 20. I absolutely love the feeling of being on it. I ordered all my upgrades at that time. Indian makes a gorgeous bike. There are a few things I'd wish were different. If you're looking for a loud bike, you need aftermarket pipes. There's is NO fuel display... Completely mind blowing. So, do quick math or set your odometer to track it... Polaris, get with the program and fix this. For order turn around time: I ordered the bike on mAy 14, and it came in Aug 07. Everything was put on at the dealership, and it's gorgeous. I'm still waiting on footboards, as of Oct 17. From start to finish, the sales team was so wonderful and kept me in the loop as they new things. Indian of Marietta was amazing

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 22 Scout Bobber Non ABS I ordered my bike on 2/25/22 and picked it up 8/09/22. This was a very long wait in my opinion but I'm thrilled with what I received. I love this bike and don't ever see me selling it or trading it in for another. I went with the thunder black metallic finish cause I didn't see spending this type of money for something that looks like it's primers regardless of how some people think that finish is attractive or cool. I loved the paint more after I got the bike home and gave it its first wash and wax. It looks like a black mirror. The blacked out finish is nice to a degree but begs for some chrome here and there for contrast. The bike looks and runs awesome. About the only things I'd change about it mechanically is I feel like the engine idle speed is a touch high. At operating temperature it idles at 1150. I feel like this should come down to around 850-950. It wants to immediately take off when the clutch is released without applying any throttle. I've tested this out and went down the road just on idle and have easily been able to upshift to 2nd gear. The other mechanical change I'd like to see is quieter bearings in the electric fan. It's pretty well loud and the first time I heard it I thought something was wrong with the bike. I changed the stock exhaust out for something much louder and I can still hear the fan. The bike handles great and its done everything I've asked it to do with ease. The stock seat is annoying and doesn't hold you in place. I plan on changing this to something much better soon. The biggest issue that I have with this bike is that I can't seem to be able to go anywhere and not attract attention and be able to get in and out of somewhere quickly. It never fails that atleast 2 or 3 people approach me with compliments and questions. If you don't like attention or aren't a people person then thus bike probably isn't for you. Also, i live in a rural and heavily agricultural area in southside Virginia. This is a gorgeous place to live and ride. Im blessed with lots of natural scenery, windy backgrounds and very close to a state park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Not all my riding happens on pavement is my point. Ive riden on dirt, gravel and grassy fields and had full confidence in this bike the entire time. This bike is not at all a dirt bike but it does great on some limited and light offroad use. This fits completely with my perceptions of Indian bikes and how they started ovet 100 years ago. These bikes were riden on unpaved roads, in pastures and even on battlefields. I've loved Indian bikes all my life but thus is the first time I've had the pleasure of owning one. I visited several brand dealerships before my purchase and sat on many a seat but I didn't feel like it was for me until I sat on an Indian Scout. This is an unusual bike and people stare at it like it's a spaceship or something like that. I really like that it's different. I like my bikes the way I like my women and that is uncommon and not one that everyone else in creation has had. If you want to be one of the masses then buy an HD, If you appreciate being an Individual then buy an Indian. Thank you Polaris for building a truly awesome bike and I feel sure it will probably outlive me and still be riding down the road decades from now like Indians are known to do.

Chief
Starting at $14,999 US MSRP
2023 Chief Black Metallic is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 44.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Well engineered Fantastic bike, been riding it everyday and just clocked 2k miles today and it has been amazing. It is incredibly stable and smooth at highway speeds and maneuverable at low speeds with plenty of power on tap The fit, finish and paint are okay, about what you would expect from a production bike but not bad. Only flaw I’ve had is the fuel pump doesn’t charge completely every once in a while and won’t start, but after priming a second time it starts. Hoping to get another 98,000 miles on mine before my next bike and given the quality of my Indian I’m sure that’s not a difficult goal to achieve. All in all very satisfied

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth I picked up my new bike last Friday and put 300 miles on it between Friday and Saturday. I traded in my 2015 Vintage, which I liked, but this is a whole different experience. The Chieftain is so much smoother and more powerful. No engine mechanical noises, just wind in front of you and exhaust behind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect This is the biggest engine I've had. At first I was concerned but it is exceptionally balanced and perfect height. Getting used to the bike I kept it in standard mode. First ride in sport mode was super touchy. Now it stays in sport mode. It will pull you off the seat if unprepared for a throttle dive! Love it! It's a head turner too I get compliments all around for the style and paint job.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 2022 chief ABS 150 mile review I bought the chief the end of March across state because my closet dealer couldnt get ine for several months and the cross state dealer wouldnt trade for it. Since its new England I havent had too many days to ride so 200 miles is spread over 8-10 urban rides. After having it delivered and it wouldnt start, the dealer said let it charge a couple of days. Fast forward a month bike dies at the ice cream stand. Jump start and limp home. Dealer picks it up and replaces the battery and also repairs an oil leak from what they report as an improperly torqued side cover.

I bought a few things like a passenger seat, sissy bar, passenger pegs, and saddle bags over two months ago when I bought the bike. I’m still waiting on stuff.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1st and last Cruiser. After my first test ride, I said I have to have this bike. I did wanted to wait for the DarkHorse to become available but I'm glad I decided on this one. I'm coming from the Sport bike world so this being my 1st cruiser, I was hesitant. The Chief blew away my expectations. Being 600lbs+ I expected it to ride like a brick. I'm able to flick this into corners and having so much torque, power is no issue. The only issues I have is I really, really wanted the Ride Command but the Chief comes with the traditional analog dash. The other issues would be there isn't a huge assortment of aftermarket parts out there.. most of the Indian parts are very expensive but not to the Harley price point. I have purchased the stage 1 forward air intake and slip on. This isn't my grandparents motorcycle.

The throttle response needs to be addressed however. Its either on or off, you can't just ease into it like most bikes. This bike you roll on it at all and its rather abrupt, hate this! Headlamp is small for the bike. The exhaust is WAY WAY WAY too quiet! Bikes should make noise, this one is very quiet, pulling up to a red light you can't even hear the engine running. Disappointed overall with the quality of the bike, Indian makes better bikes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Bitter sweet Traded my Indian Scout on this bike back in early April. I took a while to get it (and I don't have all the upgrades yet), but I love this bike. The look the feel are amazing. The sounds is nice but not quite loud enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Smooth I’ve had the bike for about a month now. It’s a standard Chief with the 111 motor. I have been doing mostly recreational riding and boy is it smooth. I have had several Japanese bikes, a Big Dog and a few Harleys too. This is the smoothest bike I have ever had. Everything is smooth, the ride, the handling, the feel and the look too. The only thing not smooth is the Sport Mode. Sport mode is short for….hang on or you just might end up looking at the backside of your bike as it heads on without you. The Thunderstroke looks great, sounds great (with an aftermarket pipe), and is the smoothest motor ever. Great power and pull. The seat works great for the two hour rides I typically take. The drag bars are comfortable for my 6’1” height bit, I wish Indian had some 2” handle risers available as they would then be perfect. The mid controls work fine but I would be more comfortable with forward controls. I may have to change them out. I love the 19” front tire and it handles super well. Crack and road imperfections are unnoticeable. Grips are comfortable and the controls, gauge controls, and cruise control work very well. The minors are nice looking and have a great field of view. The functions on the standard gauge package are great and the trigger controls are easy to use. The pipes look great but are way too quiet and too lengthy for my tastes. And aftermarket pipe will solve that problem…..when they are finally available. The only downside is the availability of Indian parts and accessories. I bought a passenger seat, sissy bar with pad and some passenger pegs an am still waiting for half my parts. The lack of aftermarket parks is also a downer. Since the the Chief model is new this year, the are very few aftermarket options. My dealer didn’t have a Chief to ride so I ordered my bike and waited about 8 weeks for it to arrive. I ordered my accessories at that time but still don’t have them all. I have one aesthetics suggestion. The Chief needs some optional struts for the rear fender. The Scout has them and they look great. The flat side on the Chief’s rear fender looks a little bland, boring and too flat. In my opinion, I t’s the only cosmetic thing off on the bike. Please Indian, please make some nicely sculpted rear fender struts for the Chief. All in all, the bike is amazing, smooth, fun and as tasty as a hot fudge Sunday on a Friday night.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Needs some improvements I bought this bike about a month ago. It is super quick and handles great. It has horrible ergonomics and is very uncomfortable to ride any length of time. The foot pegs are too high and too far back. You can hardly reach the kickstand because the pegs are in the way. The handle bars are way too low and forward also. I plan to install the forward controls and cruiser handlebars. This will make the bike way more comfortable for me. I’m disappointed that the bike was launched way before most any of the accessories are available including the above mentioned items that I need to change.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Midweight Cruiser I purchased the Chief almost two months ago but the fact that I ride several bikes and the spring weather has not always cooperated I have managed to put 400 miles on it. I purchased a few accessories on day one but am still waiting for some of the components to install them. I do not like the drag bars so I am going to put the cruiser bars with the 17" windshield. I will also swap the stock seat for the 1920 solo seat which will get me up a bit higher so I will have more comfort to the mid control foot pegs. The bike is fun to ride, very nimble and plenty of power. Fit and finish is excellent.

Chief Dark Horse
Starting at $17,999 US MSRP
2023 Chief Dark Horse Black Smoke is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 376.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Made in the USA for the rest of us!! Want a motorcycle that runs well, made in the USA and isn't a Harley? Look no further. What an incredible motorcycle. I am proud to be driving this fantastic machine. No more running around on some other import with other drivers scoffing at you. This machine commands respect and gets it in droves. So much power at the flick of the wrist, classic looks, beautiful styling with an outstanding modern twist. The 7" Ride Command display makes everything possible without the complex array of individual instruments. Keeps everything looking clean on the handlebars. The tech is still kind of new and can use additional refinement, but I'm so pleased with it, I'll take the quirks. The only question you should be asking yourself is why you haven't put your money down yet? Don't settle with a Harley like the rest, be an individual, take a stand and get yourself an Indian. You won't be disappointed, I wasn't.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Absolute Rocket Roughly a 4 month wait to get my hands on this work of art. I have to say it was worth every second. Just about every ride I receive components. On one occasion I was asked how old it was and how I managed to keep it so good looking. It has that perfect retro look with modern touches. The styling is so far from its competitors it’s on a whole new level. Indian is really on to something. I catch myself just staring at it when she’s garaged up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best ride ever! I ordered this bike in January and received it in July. It was definitely worth the wait. The Chief DH is amazing to ride and the new features makes it the best experience. I am overall satisfied. This bike is my second addition to my collection. I also have a 2019 Chieftain DH that also is amazing to ride.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hand controls finish Bought the bike for my wife. She loves it except for the hand controls, one has a brushed finished and the other is polished. All their bikes are this way. Talk to a company rep in Sturgis and he said they get the controls from different manufacturers but they never noticed that they had different finishes. He said he would talk to corporate about it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from FXD….Chief DarkHorse Love the bike, great performance handles like a dream, nimble, steady and quick. The ride command is awesome. If you’re over 5’11 get the Bobber or mini apes foot position is great feel like I’m slouching for the bars. Aftermarket is still real limit so be aware before purchasing. A few finishing details are little rough around the edges if you look for them to complain about.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Powerful cruiser I’ve owned my new Indian for 2 months. Road almost 1900 miles. Ergonomics are good after I had cruiser bars installed. Floorboards are comfortable along with heal shifter. Only other option was a rear fender luggage rack. Overall I gave it a 4 due to a stiff non adjustable clutch lever. It should be adjustable for smaller hands, and lighter pull for older riders. I’m 5 ft 10 inches and 130 lbs, 65 years old. Also disappointed with puke tube coming out of engine that will drip oil on your clean garage floor. Ride is very smooth even for light riders. Throttle in sport mode is way too jerky. Standard mode is best. Braking is excellent. Seat is very comfortable for up to 3 hour rides so far. Fuel economy is 56 mpg, but I don’t ride it hard. Cruise control is useful and easy to use. I with turn signals were like Harley-Davidson one on left and right controls. Sometimes hard to turn on signals if you pulled in clutch handle and have small hands. Cruise control nice, but does not have ETA when viewing route on screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great all around motorcycle! The Indian chief dark horse is a great all-around motorcycle. This bike basically can do it all, short runs to long touring. Having the 4 inch ride command is extremely helpful. You can never get lost with the built-in GPS. The rider modes and Bluetooth capabilities are a big plus! I am 5'9 and 230 pounds and it fits me like a glove. I also love the accessories. I added an 8 inch mini ape handlebars and a performance air intake. Lastly, the dealership experience was exceptional. The people at Indian Motorcycle of Monmouth are true professionals.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Dark Horse amd not impressed. Well I would like to say I'm satisfied but to be honest I'm really not. I got the top of the line dark horse but yet it came with chrome exhaust covers. I asked the dealer if they are planning on sending a bkack set, they will contact you. So right away this doesn't sound good when the dealer and manufacturer are not communicating. The key FOB straight from the dealer would not keep synced with the bike had to order a new one. Not only that but after paying 22k altogether for everything you'd think it would come with 2 key fobs just like any normal vehicle you purchase. I've had it for a little over a month now and twice now when I have gone to start it....it just turns over once and then you hear the system start up again...push the button and same thing it turns over once and stops. Did it about 10 times before finally starting. Not sure what the problem is but for a brand new bike....that isn't good. I bought this one because I was really happy with my 2020 scout bobber 20 I purchased last year but this one has been a disappointment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great All-around Motorcycle Well-crafted bike with superb quality and innovative features. The Chief was definitely with waiting on and I look forward to riding many miles on this incredible machine. I have the Darkhorse model with mini-ape bars which make for an extremely comfortable ride and give great control and feedback. My only complaint is the lack of tire pressure monitoring. Wonderful motorcycle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sexy, advanced, and powerful! I went into the dealer just to get a look at this new bike and I loved the lines. They were nice enough to let me test ride the bike and I was hooked! I ordered the Chief dark horse that day. After one month and 1000 miles my love affair with the bike and not diminished. The seat took about 500 miles to break in and now I can go over 100 miles without needing a break. I love all the advanced features and it handles like a dream.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent New-stalgia bike The new Chief combines new tech with a historic look that blew me away from the first picture I saw. The engine is gorgeous and in the open; the power is great, full of torque. The weight is down low, so riding on the road or pushing around the garage, this bike does not feel heavy. Smooth ride, fun in the twisties, powerful on the highway--and the looks--I want to bring the bike into the living room each night just to look at it, but wife won't let me. I love the bike. Solid nostalgia-laden design with good modern handling and technology. I'm not that keen on the fender or the side-mount license, but I'll deal with those later. I've liked Indian bikes before, but this one, from the first time I saw it, said I had to buy one. Worth it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not bad for a polaris. For the price i would've hope to find some premium components. Lets compare the bike i just sold, 2019 Ducati Super Sport. I'll just focus on price and components such as fully adjustable Olhins forks and rear shock along with Brembo brakes, up/down quick shifter and a seat that you could sit on for more than an hour or two and finally a flip top gas cap that matched the bike. Price? I paid about $1,500. less than my new Dark Horse. I gave you a shot Polaris.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Lemon motorcycle. Bought it. Immediately had issues to what I thought was a bad fuel pump or bad battery. Had my 500 mile service done and no issues found. At 1400 miles engine codes cylinder misfire and cylinder 2 misfire, took to a dealership, nothing found. Reset codes. Rode about 40-60 miles boom, check engine light again, this time crankshaft position sensor, back to dealer, they replace sensor stated it was bad. Get bike back, rode for 40-60 miles, boom CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN!!!! cylinder misfire and cylinder 2 misfire. Dealer comes to pick it up as it's the 3rd time in a week.... Indian main office won't do anything to correct my lemon. Aside from that, the ride command does NOT work. This bike has potential, but my ol reliable the scout bobber 60 has been my clutch

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it all I bought my 2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse in July 2021 and I couldn't be happier. The bike's performance has exceeded my expectations. It has a lot of power, its very responsive and also very nimble. It handles like a bike that weighs much less than it actually does. My only cons are that stock exhaust is embarrassing. For the price point of this motorcycle you should at least be able to hear the exhaust when you roll on the throttle. Seems like a ghetto ploy to make the exhaust upgrade a must. Also for some reason my Ride Command keeps bouncing back to the starting menu while I am riding. I am not overly concerned as I am sure its just an update that can be fixed. Other that those two items the bike has been a blast and looks very aggressive. Also be aware after market parts for the Chief are essentially none existent which I am now learning. If you plan to do some mods to your bike do some research and make sure those products are made for the Indian Chief.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Bike -- 2022 Chief Dark Horse Received my 2022 Chief Dark Horse in early July after a 6 week wait. Beautiful bike! Was tender with it for first 500 mile break-in period. Since then have driven the bike in all kinds of situations and it has performed flawlessly. Stealth Grey is a great color that elicits many positive comments wherever I stop and even some jealous looks from H-D drivers. A very enjoyable bike to drive as its handling is superb and power unmatched. Just a super bike all around.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Poor quality control on engine I love the bike. Fit and finish seems well worth the money. Comfortable and powerful. My only issue is at 350 miles I started having intermittent engine noise, sounded like it could be valve or rocker noise. Cut apart the filter at the dealership after the 500 mile service. It was full of metal shavings of aluminum or some other silver non magnetic material. Fresh oil and filter didnt correct the issue completely. Still has intermittent upper engine noise.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Electrical issues on a new bike Love riding this bobber. The look, feel and ride are above expectations. I rate a 4 die to the fact that Day 2 I had chassis fault warning lights come in the dash and was informed this is a known issue, that nobody bothered to tell me about when I purchased the bike. The dealership said it’s ok to ride but every time I get on I’m annoyed by these warning lights, on my bran new bike. They said they are not sure they can do anything about it, it’s up to Indian, but they’d look at it when I bring my bike in for 500 mile service. Frustrating to say the least. I should have asked more questions.

However, besides unbearably quite, there is some sort of issue with the tank and how it is mounted to the frame. It makes an awful metal on metal ‘ping’ sound over every bump in the road. EVERY BUMP. It sounds bad, and it’s annoying.

Bought this bad boy on Oct 9th can’t stay off of it. I have put over 1,000 miles on it in just a little over a month. Need something from Walmart? Ride. Need to check the mail? Ride.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best and last bike I’ll probably ever own! Took delivery 6 weeks ago and already have over 1000 miles on it. Bike is unbelievable. Felt like it was part of my body the second I started my test drive. Saddlebags came in two weeks ago and look great. Adding be some Dean Speed slip ons any day. Have not even tried Sport mode yet as Standard is just fine off the line and for passing acceleration. I had a Harley Superglide and it pales in comparison.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sport Mode isn’t for beginners Killer looks, Excellent balance, and more power than you need stock. Sport mode is twitchy sketchy fun, sometimes too much but makes me grin every time. Suspension is too soft for two riders, same problem as the Scout. Highly recommend the passenger pillion, not for the extra rider but it stops you from doing a full Superman when you get on it in sport mode. Can’t wait to see how future mods open up normal and sport modes. I wish I could have opted for a Dark Horse without the fancy speedo. Highly recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It's fun 2200 miles, 4 weeks, it's fast and easy to control. Definitely would take the touchscreen and trade it back in for some money back because it blows. The navigation takes you in circles to where your going, the roads like to disappear, and it likes to freeze if you have it in nav mode for more than 30 minutes. Also, definitely some redesigning to be done. The pickup tube is on the right side of the tank, won't start if it's on the kickstand with a gallon or less of gas. You have to stand it up and start it. Good solid cruiser and I love it but definitely would not buy this year model until they fix some things and or come out with a dark horse 116 without the P O S touchscreen. I am connected via Bluetooth and it still won't let me do anything it says you can from your phone. If you ride as much as I do fork out the extra money and buy a touring bike. It's too much money for an engine and a frame basically

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bike! I’ve put 1000km on the bike and I think it’s a great all around bike. I put about 500km in the city and 500km on the highway. The bike was great in the city, and more than manageable on the highway. I will put a windshield on mine for the next highway trip. The bike has a comfortable riding position for the longer sitting times and the Bluetooth for changing your music on the go is awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the bike. So sleek and powerful This is my first big bike. It’s sleek and powerful like a fighter jet. After many reviews and research on the new chief especially the bobber I was sold. After riding it in hooked on Indian for life.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lives up to the name! I drove my Indian Chief Bobber DH across the US from North Carolina to California. I was able to test this motorcycle in harshest of the conditions and it faired well on all the occasions. It endured 110 degree AZ heat, 29 degree CO snow and Tropical storm IDA in KS. In the looks and esthetics department this bike is a show stopper. The power curve of this bike is magnificent. I have a 116 motor and at no point in time I had any issues cruising on highway, over taking 18 wheeler or riding through mountains. I am not a mechanical expert but from the riders point of view bike is fully equipped on power spectrum. The tires on this bike are amazing. Rain/Snow/Shine they held the bike perfectly. I encountered off roads in canyons, which these tires dealt beautifully. There are few things that I felt were not unto the mark during my 6000 mile cross country ride for which I dropped one star in rating. Pathfinder headlight: Only good when it pitch dark. On highways it is next to useless as it does not illuminate the road. Passenger footrest support: On a 20 grand bike, Indian gave me this small piece of metal on one side with provision to add one other side. Ridiculous!! Exhaust pipe shield: The exhaust of this bike is unforgiving. If you sit on the bike normally during the ride and you aren't cautious, the pipes will burn you pants, literally. During my ride I was wearing Joe rocket riding pants. They got destroyed, so also my rain gear which basically I had to discard because the resin got stuck to the pipes. Being an engineer myself, I would have assumed for Indian to do some testing around this issues. Side Stand Indicator: This might be a malfunction on my bike but the indicator did not work which scared the heck out of me on highway, when my stand scrapped at 75mph.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great ride! This is my first motorcycle. After a few days of parking lot practice, I finally took it on the road. It is an incredibly comfortable ride with a lot of power. It handles very well. I’m looking forward to putting more miles on her and enjoying the motorcycle life!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! Out of the last three Indians that I've bought, this one is my favorite. Fits right in between the Scout Bobber and my Springfield Dark Horse. Rides and handles like a champ. Great features. Only issue is the seat, it needs a little more of a bolster on the back so you don't come sliding off the back when you give it the beans. Other than that, it's a great bike and I love it. Only had it for a few months but the more I ride it the more I like it and I really liked it to begin with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great First Bike! I bought this bike July 17, 2021. This is my first bike so I have nothing to compare it with. That being said, I don’t want to be able to compare with any other bike. It is easy to learn how to ride on this bike, smooth power delivery throughout the range, plenty of passing power in any gear. And you can’t beat the 4” touch screen with ride command as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great looking and performing bike I ordered it a couple months ago took a while to. Come in but we’ll worth the wait. I had tank modified to feature the block lettering vs, the decal. So much nicer

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad to the Bone Bobber Purchased this bike a few months ago. Went from a sport bike to this. Was worried about giving up the fun and adrenaline but the Chief is no disappointment. It's my first cruiser and am absolutely in love with it from the way it rides, looks and sounds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Motorcycle full of tricks!! I have owned my Chief Bobber Dark Horse for just under two months. Immediately after my purchase I was blessed with the opportunity to ride 80+ miles home. This was a great opportunity for me to get to know the bike. The riding position is great for me being 6'3". I will be considering highway bars in the future for longer riders to stretch my legs but for my day to day riding I do the current setup is great! The one downside I had was the stock seat and that is true for almost any stock seat, it's comfortable for about 45-50 minutes then it is time to get off the bike and walk around for a few. Luckily enough a fellow Indian owner helped me out and added gel padding to my seat, now 100+ miles is no issue at all. I currently just have a solo seat but I may be adding a rear seat and sissy bar in the future for longer trip storage as well as saddle bags. Overall this is a great bike that is built for daily commuting, weekend trips or any other type of riding you are looking to accomplish. The price is also very appealing for how much you get on the bike!! The ride command is packed with so much stuff that I am able to monitor and track everything on the bike, while having navigation and control of my music!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Attention to detail I've had me Chief for a couple months now and absolutely love it. However, I cannot give it five stars for two reasons. One is the exhaust. It's two quiet and does not give the 116 motor any justice, and it is much to long. Second is the cable routing off of the handle bars, down in front of the gas tank. As you turn, the brake cable rub and scratch the beautiful paint on the gas tank. To me this is a simple fix but a huge oversight as many won't notice this until it's too late.
