I test rode one. The M8 has way more torque on the bottom end. The Indian has a metric feel to it. Had to blip the throttle to make sure it hadn’t stalled at a light. For some that might be a good thing. The Roadmaster has a power windshield that’s pretty cool, but rumor is that it is problematic.

One positive is that they have the whole buffeting thing figured out. Could have held a lit candle at pretty much any speed. The biggest deterrent for me was the lack of dealers. Closest one to me is almost 2 hours away. I have 4 HD dealers within the same distance. Closest just down the road. If you plan on traveling, dealer access is important.
