I have seen a lot of guys jumping to Indian and found most of them have not ridden anything newer than 2010 and def not 2014 and up. Our Indian dealer is former HD dealer employees I have known a long time and thought I would give them a courtesy test ride. Mike

Let me get this straight. The Indian rides better but the Harley has better paint. And one of the deal breakers is the Harley's engine is quicker? I think we're down to Larry is smarter than Moe. They're both bloated old dudes' bikes. I just don't think it's legal to say quick and the American muscle baggers' names in the same sentence. Now, the wife and I are going to jump on our racing baggers and take advantage of this nice northern Michigan Sunday.

Personally I think those two words don't belong in the same sentence, fat bikes a fat bike ain't no racing about it.

I guess the sport tourer is what he was referring to ... Something like the BMW K1600 or Yamaha FJR. Those are fast bikes with bags. I assume the customer for that is a customer that no longer wants a sport bike but isn't ready to admit they were wrong about baggers lol

Tongue in cheek fellas. I have a Victory Cross Country and my wife has an Indian. We're in our 60's so we're not racers. I've got to laugh when guys are talking about how quick their 900 pound bikes are. When i would put the go fast crap on my baggers I couldn't help but think I just made an ill - handling bike go a little quicker between turns. No fights here guys-just thinking.
