Indian Motorcycles
Is it me, or does the current line up include some of the ugliest bikes known to man? I mean, who pays £25k for something that looks like this?

Re: Indian Motorcycles
The scout is one of the only cruiser type bikes I think looks alright. And I really like the Flattracker thing.

It's a Bagger, they all look like that.
Have you seen the 2020 HD Road Glide, it's styled exactly the same?

Re: Indian Motorcycles
In a unsettling sort of way, the more I look at it, the more I accept it.

Re: Indian Motorcycles
Plenty of people are willing to pay £20k to look like a racer while 50 pencing it around every corner.Trogladyte wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 10:57 pm I mean, who pays £25k for something that looks like this?
Plenty more willing to pay £20k to look like they're about to start the Paris-Dakar when they only ever ride up a muddy track.
What ya gonna do?

Re: Indian Motorcycles
Somewhere in the clouds at the back of my mind, one of these features as part of a road trip for the wife and I. Not owning one, just renting one in America somewhere...

Re: Indian Motorcycles
That's not for me, it would be fun for a few hours and then I'd be fed up.
A road trip sounds good in theory, but all those hours driving or riding would get a bit wearing for me.

Re: Indian Motorcycles
Me too.
I’ve vaguely considered the USA for that but 2-300 miles a day is simply too much considering it doesn’t leave you much time for actually sightseeing.
Although if others have done it I’d be happy to be proved wrong.

Re: Indian Motorcycles
It's America, there's not a lot to see. I've done the Henry Cole series enough to know what you'll find, Diners and random places with random stuff.Scotsrich wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 7:23 amMe too.

For me i can't think of a worse trip than US on a motorbike. I peak at 45 mins on a motorbike though so i'm an exception.

Re: Indian Motorcycles
You're kidding right? I think it's around 3.5 million square miles with everything from amazing geology, fauna, wildlife, cities, small towns, incredible modern architecture, beaches, lakes and some of the best paved and unpaved roads and trails on the planet. Its why a lot of Americans never go abroad, they have everything there!weeksy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 7:26 amIt's America, there's not a lot to see.

Re: Indian Motorcycles
No, i'm not really. When i think of places like Andalusia, or the Alps, you get great views, epic vistas but twisty bendy roads to go with it.Taipan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:30 am You're kidding right?

I don't care about plants, wildlife or indeed cities, beaches and lakes, meh, not so much either... But you also need interesting roads to get to these places and i think finding them in the US would be tricky beyond words.
