If only I was in the market

[Freebird]

I will NOT be buying one.  To be honest, I should sell my 2008 Ultra Classic because I've found over the past couple of years that I'm just not riding as I once did.  My Ultra Classic only has about 13,000 miles on it and is basically like new.  10 to 15 years ago though, I would be at the Indian dealership taking ownership of this new bike.  I realize that it's not for everybody but I have always preferred the Road Glide over the Ultra Classic and would love to give this new Indian Pursuit a try.  I bought the Ultra Classic simply because I got a fantastic deal and knew that I wasn't riding much.  Expensive at almost $34,000 for the loaded model but from what I can see, I'm a fan.  Rated at 120 HP and loaded with all the goodies.  What do all of you think about it?

Just a quick look shows me it has a lot of the Star Venture. Nice lookin scoot!!

[ReinyRooster]

I like it.

If I was in the market it would be at the very top of the list.

But my RSV will likely be my last bike.

My former scoutmaster/friend/former boss recently bought a Roadmaster Elite, he’s always had a soft spot for Indians.  This is important as it opens the doorway for me to buy his 94FXDL, now that he’s recently retired I just need him to downsize and move and realize he only really wants one bike

Indians new bikes are going away from the 60's styling they were trying to sell like the roadmaster. This is basicly a challenger with trunk I think. Probably more goodies. I have recently had electrical gremlins on the Vic and am considering a change in rides. Unfortunatly not much choice out there if you want a bagger. Indian (but after they stiffed us Victory guys......) well I dont think I'll share my money with them. A HD or a Wing. I'm kind of leaning towards if I have to make a change probably a HD (ugh) Does it look that different?

nice looker, is it water cooled? Have a buddy i ride with bought a new indian last year n 359 miles into the ride check engine lite came on. turned out to be nothing but a blown fuse but the dealer could have warned him that this might happen  cause other new bikes had the same thing happen. never said a word. wouldn't recemend that dealer. had another friend bought a used one at the same time n had trouble with it right away  n the dealer still has not  made it right. always wanted one but my venture will be my last unless i go slingshot!

Good looking bike but I believe my next bike? will be Red, have a removable hardtop, heat and AC.  Getting soft in my old age...

Not that I’m proud of this but in my younger (early 20’s) dumber days I took on a Supra while on my Duc on I95.  I held my own but the Supra took that cake.

LOL! I think we have all been in that position a time or two...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... out of my ball park!    From $169,500...

YES!!!  WOW!! This will be my next bike, when that time comes.  Sorry Yamaha  https://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/pursuit-limited/

Liquid cooled V-twin, 122HP,  electronic preload adjustment, inverted forks, cast aluminum frame, Almost 100lbs lighter than star venture, 26.5" seat height, closed-loop fuel injection, removable trunk, 200W Stereo, Apple CarPlay & drop-dead gorgeous!

Trying to find something not to like about this bike, but I might just find the Easter Bunny first!  Ok, maybe the price, but $5+ gas has desensitized me to that....sadly
