Traded the Vaquero in on a Indian Chieftain

[IndyRay]

I really didnt plan on trading until I rode the Indian Chieftain. It would have been cheaper just to say no to a test ride. I loved the way the Chieftain felt like riding a 750 with tons of power. It is the best handling bike I've ever owned, which there has been many. I had heard stories from my dad about riding an Indian with the hand shifter and I just fell for the nostalgic look of the bike. You all be safe out there this summer, I know a lot of us nothern folks have had a long rough winter.
I just put my Mustang seat up in the classifieds.

Congrats on the new ride, I'll be taking a ride a ride down to the Indian dealer to give them a once over, they do look pretty good. Although the Canadian price will probably be astronomical.

Enjoy your new ride. Polaris really seems to have done a fantastic job with the new Indian line. Have only heard great things about them.

the new Indian bikes here in Norway is way out of reach for most people...starting price for the Chietain is $60 000

Congrats on the new ride.
I was up close & personal with the Indian motorcycles when a I was in Daytona during Bike Week, nice bikes. Talk to a few reps (the girls were very nice also...) my favorite one was Chief Vintage, I like the look of the brown leather! Polaris did a great job with the Indian line. My wife said she would scalp me if I traded in the Goldwing, sorry no pun indented.
Enjoy your new ride!

Can't say that I blame you. I took the Chieftan for a ride when Indian had their demo weekend down here back in November. Fell in love with the skoot and I was so thoroughly impressed with so many aspects of the skoot for a first time effort.

Have fun with it and enjoy!!

The new Indians are the only Motorcycles on my curent "next bike wish list".
What's stopping me?
I still love my Nomad and its paid for.
I like the Chief, but not with soft bags.
I like the Chieftain, but not the faring.
Not to mention $$$ a bit tight right now.
Enjoy your new ride. :tup:

Why so much?

[schoeney]

$60k?
Hmmmm.Maybe we should start an exporting business?
My wife is Norwegian. I sure she would love to see where her ancestors started it all.
