Raider58 Posted August 2, 2015 #1 Posted August 2, 2015 Ill bet this is a great bike, I'll never know with the $27,000 dollar price tag.
DragonRider Posted August 2, 2015 #2 Posted August 2, 2015 It is a beautiful bike with the exception of the front fender, that is really ugly, I know its iconic to Indian, but its still ugly, as well as the price tag.
slowrollwv Posted August 2, 2015 #3 Posted August 2, 2015 I can't see much difference in price between it, Goldwing, HD or BMW. Even the last year for the Venture was $21,000.
etcswjoe Posted August 2, 2015 #4 Posted August 2, 2015 I road one and it seemed really cramped to me.
rickardracing Posted August 2, 2015 #5 Posted August 2, 2015 Ill bet this is a great bike, I'll never know with the $27,000 dollar price tag., I priced one out and by the time I got backrest, arm rests, Stage 1 pipes and Speaker lids I was at $32,000. You have to look at how long your going to keep it and how much you ride. My father inlaw just had his 04 HD Ultra stolen out of his garage in Grayling. He just turned 100,000 miles. He rides ALOT. So for him, it would be worth it. For me, I "usually" get in about 6,000- 8,000 miles a year, exept this year, I have hardly rode. But I would pay the money because I would probably have the bike atleast 10 years. So for me, it is worth it. The only things keeping me from buying the Roadmaster is 1. No cb. And for that price, it needs a cb. I believe they will outfit it soon. They, unlike Yamaha, listen to their customers. and 2. They do not have a color option I want. I want the light green and cream. One those are offered, my 07 RSV will be up for sale licketty split!
Freebird Posted August 2, 2015 #6 Posted August 2, 2015 I also did some research on them. If you go to the Indian forum, you will find a lot of praises but also a LOT of complaints about various things. HEAT is a big one that folks complain about. Probably no worse than my Harley but much worse than the Venture. Also some other fairly major issues and folks waiting a LONG time for the dealers to get repair parts and etc. New bike and related early model issues I'm sure but things to be aware of right now.
Great White Posted August 2, 2015 #7 Posted August 2, 2015 Good lord, I don't think I've ever paid more than 5000 (up front, not counting "improvements") for any bike I've ever owned. I just can't imagine 27,000...

Great White Posted August 2, 2015 #10 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Don't worry you will be able to buy one. When it is 30 years old. Lol! nah, not my style of bike. Maybe if im still able to swing a leg in 30 years it might be though... Edited August 3, 2015 by Great White
djh3 Posted August 2, 2015 #11 Posted August 2, 2015 That front fender looks like it would be a big ole water catcher. I cant imagine how much water would pack up in the thing with the frog chokers we have had down here lately.
