Bought a new ‘23 Indian Chief yesterday

Major upgrade from the ‘03 ZX6R I’ve been riding since 2013. This has been a long time coming.

That colour is amazing.

I went in thinking I wanted a black bike, like really set on that… and then I saw this red and knew I had to have it.

Black bikes are everywhere. That thing will turn heads.

Those are belt drive and have hydrolic lifters right? Less time in the garage is always nice! Adjusting my 16 valves every 4-6k can get old when I'm riding 500 mi a week

This is my first belt drive so I’m not sure I could really tell you the difference yet, but it feels pretty darn nice.

Certainly happy I don’t have to re-lubricate it every season.

Such a nice bike. I have been eyeing these, but my Wide Glide seem to be similar in stats with this bike. How's the handling on it?

natecox@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Handles superbly. It feels just as nimble as my sport bike, which I was not expecting at all before I test rode it. Really shattered my expectations of jumping on a cruiser.

Also, that engine is just insanely beefy. I’m still learning the power curve on it but you feel all of those 1800ccs.

Wow. That's great to hear. It's definitely on my wishlist.
