Have to wonder if they chose the rider because he looks eerily like a former design boss that just retired from the MoCo.....

Ahh!  Good memories!  My first Dresser was an '89 Ultra.  Black and Silver.  I think JCZ had one just like it.  Nice machine.  Tilley worked the Motor.  Can't remember everything he did to the Heads and Bottom End, but I do remember a "Super G" Carb., Competition V-Thunder Cam, (I think), and Super-Trapp Exhaust.  As for the article, I can't be objective about other brands.  Doesn't interest me.  I'll go home with who brung me.  Even if I have to haul it back home.    There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD

 I've ridden the Victory and I've done a pretty good walk around of the Indian. Both seem cheaply made and the fit/finish is not what Harley brings to the table.

The Victory engine was nothing but a giant vibrating pain. Like a vibrating unbalanced electric motor. The Indian is just plain fugly!

I'll keep riding my CVO and watch all the other manufacturers try to make their copy of a "Harley"

Sorry Indian but that is one ugly bike!  What were you thinking? I think I would ride a Honda before I rode that bike........just saying!

I love when people complain about the heat from a Harley. The worst bike I ever had in terms of heat issues was a Kawi Vulcan 1600, a bike with a few other issues, too (surging, leaking final drive). When it got hot that thing would ping, and when that fan would kick on the heat would just flow all over you. After about ten months I traded it towards a Heritage, which proved to be a smart move. I never had a heat issue, or any other issue truth be told, with that bike in over five years of riding.

I had an 83 Yanaha Venture that was so hot when the fan for the radiator came on I damn near put it in Lake Winnepesaukee during Laconia just to escape being scorched. I got bogged down in the sand on the beach or that bike would have become a boat anchor

Showing you how subjective these comparisons can be, Motorcycle-USA seems to think that Harley is still the "gold standard" and chooses the Street Glide Special over the Indian Chieftain.
