LAB-285-Indian vs. Harley-Davidson! Are We Switching?

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com

We compare an Indian Challenger to a Harley Road Glide in this podcast episode and tell you what you need to know if you are considering purchasing either. We were fortunate to have this Indian Challenger for a few weeks and filmed a complete 12″ handlebar and heated grips install on it.

I ride a 2018 police Harley Electra Glide with the Milwaukee-Eight 107 ci air-cooled V-Twin engine for my day job so I can loosely compare it to the new Powerplus 108 ci liquid-cooled engine coming in the Indian Challenger. I also ride my Harley Street Glide Special with the 103 ci engine off-duty many thousands of miles a year along with other bikes. I am also a police motorcycle instructor and I hope all of this qualifies me to review and compare the Indian to the Harley-Davidson.

I used the base model of the Indian Challenger for this review. Now, this base model is identical to the Indian Challenger "Limited" and the Dark Horse, the black limited model, except for they cost $5,000 more.

But, those more premium models are also coming with a few extra things and those are:

  • Baked in GPS Navigation in the Ride Command Infotainment System
  • Remotely locking saddlebags
  • TPMS-Tire Pressure Management System
  • Indian "Smart Lean Technology"

Smart Lean Technology is Indian's version of Harley's RDRS or Reflex Defensive Rider System. Basically, both these systems adjust traction control and ABS systems based on lean angle making riding safer. Now, that's a very dumbed-down version of what these systems do. If you want to learn all about RDRS and whether you should spend the money on it, check my RDRS video out.

The Indian is a badass bike and I think you'd be totally satisfied if you purchased it. The same thing goes for the Harley Road Glide. Much of it will come down to rider preference. If money were not an issue, I'd own one of each.

You'll need to listen to this podcast episode to hear all the finer details and our opinions!
