This is better than a Low Rider S. It now has all the same or better features. It's got the dual caliper Brembo brakes up front. Premium Fox piggyback rear shocks, inverted front forks. But it's also got ABS, all LED lighting, plus cruise control, rider modes, a fully digital TFT display instead of the lame-ass analog crap, and it's all standard.

The one thing with Indian is that they make the same bike as Harley, they charge the same price as Harley, but they aren’t Harley. Their dealer network is lacking, and it’s mostly independent shops that sell a bunch of different bikes, customer service is hit or miss, if I’m out on a trip and I need some emergency service does anyone think they will get you in and out? They need to cut their prices significantly, otherwise I don’t see enough value added when I’m losing the superior dealer network and parts availability

@powerman1972

It is an interesting bike for sure. For me though, that quarter fairing is just butt ugly and i'm not really a fan of the look of that motor. However, Harley does need to pay attention to what Indian is doing as far as value for the consumers dollar by adding modern tech that everybody want's in a motorcycle today. So far, i think Harley is dropping the ball in keeping up with Indian. I thought that maybe this would be the year they put the Revmax motor in a touring bike but with no luck. The Indian pursuit has definitely peaked my interest in trading in my 20 Road glide limited. I'll be keeping my Lowrider St for the long haul however. Much better looking bike in my opinion than the Indian Sport chief.

💯 agree with everything you said. I never liked the look of the thunder stroke, the M8 is a much better looking engine. The Sport Chief fairing is ugly, but the tech is phenomenal. The Challenger also has some new tech in its suspension for 2023. But I much prefer the styling of a Harley. Maybe Indian can redesign the fairing on the Challenger, like what they did on the Chieftain.

This is probably a better handling and faster bike in stock form than my FXLRS. I don’t think it looks as good. Especially my ‘21 model that still has gauges on the tank. I don’t like the fairing. It’s not the best looking thing. I don’t like the look of the thunderstruck engines. The M8 looks much cooler to me but I could get over that. Everything else about it seems pretty nice. Looks like a nice bike.

The FTR delivers. I hope this one does too. I’ve checked one of the promo riders’ IG and he mentioned that he couldn’t get it to wheelie. And it wouldn’t without mods. I can’t wheelie my bikes. But any good rider could. Old FXRs and a Dyna. Not heavily moded any of them. My point is that this Clubstyle bike better not just look the part. Out of the dealership, any Sportster, Dyna, LRS can do it. So should Indians, but I haven’t seen much of that, save for the FTR. I’m all for competition, but not only in style. Now, that Buell Super Cruiser... that’s another thing altogether... thanks for replying! Peace

It’s not bad. The quarter fairing is ugly though and minus the digital display, which I have heard has below average GPS, it’s still less of a bike than the 2023 Low Rider S. More torque and efficient engine technology in Harleys M8 117 engine with precision oil cooling. And Mono shock is still better for handling and appearance, so Harley has that going for them. Indian just took a couple years to get there 👏
