I call her the Beast
Got my Super Chief Limited the first week in September. After the initial break in period, I rode it 1705 miles round trip to the Jack Daniels ride in Tennessee. Traveling both interstate and secondary roads, the bike handled great. Looking forward to getting in many fall rides here in Florida.

Love it!
I love my super chief limited. The power is great. The handling is better than any Harley I have had and I rode Harleys for 41 years. The design is spot on for what this bike is made for. What I don't like is the rust that showed up around the screw in the center fuel tank trim. I was also disappointed when I went to adjust the handlebars and the control housings line up in a hole in the handlebars limiting range of adjustment. Also the hand control switch housings are plastic not metal.

Rides great, the system thing that keeps the engin
The shocks on this bike is great. It handles well. The only complaint is that the ride command is not that exciting. My phone does a better job as gps.

Love the colour and engine.
I waited a month for the bike. Was the best thing I ever did. Already have 4000 km on it and ride it every chance I get.

Blast to ride!
I had a 2018 Roadmaster but most of my riding was less than 3 hours and without a passenger. I feel in love with the Super Chief when I test rode it and pulled the trigger once I had the wife sit on it at the dealer. It is an absolute BLAST to ride. 200 lbs lighter with a bigger motor and much more nimble and responsive. That along with modern technology in a beautiful retro frame what's not to love!
My dealership, Chesapeake Cycles in Annapolis, made buying the bike easy and have always provided top notch service before, during and after the sale. That's why I've been with them for the last 10 years.
Then I went to take my daughter in law for a ride. She has long legs and is EXTREMELY uncomfortable on the back; much more so than I expected. The main cause is the height of the passenger pegs. With the shotgun pipes there doesn't seem to be much room to lower them either. I also noted that, unlike the Chieftain and Roadmaster, the Ride Command doesn't allow you to download rides from the app which is a huge disappointment. Rumor has it that Indian MIGHT fix that with a future upgrade but we'll just have to wait and see. Then the wife was finally able to ride after getting the backrest and she is very uncomfortable as well. We both expected that the passenger wouldn't be as comfortable as on a Roadmaster however, the pegs are so high that only short passengers would be comfortable on the back.
My overall opinion is that this is an awesome bike for a single rider who doesn't need to plan a ride or bring a passenger along. With those limitations in mind I would recommend this bike. Even with the previously mentioned shortcomings I still can't help but smile every time I throw my leg over her! This is by far the best bike I've ever owned when I'm on it by myself; just don't expect your passenger to feel the same :-)

Honest likes and dislikes
My wife and I ordered this bike in May at a Indian Demo Days event and took delivery in June. I still own a 2017 Springfield and love everything about it, which is one reason we purchased a second Indian. We purchased the 2022 Chief for the wife due to its weight being under 750lbs and for options it offers such as cruise control, ride command, slightly larger fuel tank which you can't get in the Scout platform.
Maybe it's because of our age (mid 50's), but we both dislike the bobber fenders and wish that Indian had options for longer fenders like the Scout platform offers. The functional drawback to the bobber fenders is riding on wet roads, unless you don't mind road spray up your back and on your helmet (even a rear fender 6-8" longer would have solve this issue and I believe would look better). If Indian doesn't make a longer fender in the near future, I surely hope an aftermarket company does. On that topic, the lack of a Indian made rider's backrest accessory option is disappointing for sure; again if Indian chooses not to product a backrest I'm sure an aftermarket company will soon.
My wife is only about 130lbs and a fairly new rider coming off a 400lb Suzuki S40-650cc and is able to handle the Chief as well if not better than the lighter weight Suzuki. As far as the power goes; she really doesn't need the 116ci, but it was the only motor option in order to get the ride command display feature she wanted. However, the "tour mode" setting in the three ride modes this bike is equipped with is perfect for taming or calming this beast down for the less experienced riders.
Finally, there will be personal likes and dislikes with any bike (eg. design/style, horsepower, colors, bars, seats, etc.), but obviously our likes for this new Indian Chief trumped our dislikes.

Love, Love, Love It
I absolutely love my new Super Chief Limited. First of all it came with everything I wanted, i.e. windshield, saddle bags and comfy seat. Oh the seat is so comfortable. I can ride in it all day. It's a solid bike with tons of power. It'll get you where you want to go effortlessly. It's balanced really well. It leans comfortably and grabs the road well with those 3" tires.

A Beast
All around a great bike. Just the right size for all types of cruising. Navigation works great too.
The power takes a bit to get used to! just needed to add exhaust as it was way to calm sounding for a 116...

Powerful
I could not wait to receive my Chief. However there is a banging noise coming from front end when I hit any little bump. Dealership told me Indian is aware of it yet there is no fix yet. I’m seriously thinking of trading motorcycle in. I’ve owned many Indians in the past

Not Impressed
I down graded from a Chieftan Elite and wishing I wouldn't have. Plastic Indian plates on fuel tank are coming off. Doesn't have tire pressure sensors. Keeps running when you put the kick stand down while in gear. And no sound system. I needed a lighter bike due to back issues but this is a disappointment.
