Anyone looked at an Indian Chieftain or Roadmaster?

heeheehee...but let me tell u'all there are MANY aspects of my Vaq I miss, and where Indian not only fell short but just missed the boat on things.

It is SO much harder for these old pre-historic 2 valve air cooled engines to get them to meet EPA regs, I wanted to put pedals on my Indian it was so damn lean. The Kawi 1700 has the serious advantage in technology (NOT in the tranny, it sucks compared to the Indian) but in the engine: 4 valves, liquid cooling, a great combustion chamber design, stout clutch, etc.

Thankfully, I am a motorcyclist and a professional m/c technician, I look at skoots from 2 different perspectives. Kinda allows me to be more open minded and less stubborn in the "my bike is better than yours" attitudes that exist out there.
