I would HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about an Indian to drive one first. I have an Indian fantic for a friend who dragged me to Milwaukee to do these demo rides a couple of years back. Imho, the thing was a rattling, cheap feeling piece of junk. Looked great, but everytime you gave it gas, the trans clunked, if you got it over 3000 rpm, you couldn't see out of the mirrors, and everything make it's own frequency of rattling metals. Thinking I got a beat up lemon, we swapped bikes at the 1/2 way point, and the other one was just as bad.
Don't get me wrong, they are gorgeous bikes, but I just could wait to get back on my Harley. This was right before the buyout, so I sure hope the've made some big improvements.
