Let me preface this by stating that I have always owned Harley's and currently own an 2008 Ultra Classic.

I went to Americade in Lake George this past June and rode the new Indian Chieftain - WOW! The 111 cubic inch engine is not only more powerful and smoother than the HD's but their 6 speed tranny is SUPER SMOOTH as well. The Bike had many accouterments including electrically operated saddle bag locks, heated seat and grips, a gorgeous paint job that is now available in two tone, and has a beautiful leather hand stitched seat. Their new model, The Roadmaster is also equipped with GPS, a Bluetooth radio, and a Tour Pack. I could not believe how smooth and powerful this motorcycle was. I was also very very impressed at how well it handled. We just had an Indian Dealer open up near me and I might have to go and check one out. They are priced slightly less than the H-D equivalent. There is also a Factory Stage One option if you so desire which will add another 10HP and is Factory tuned.

The new Indian Chieftain is QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!!
