2014 Leather Baggers Shootout

I'm so torn between the HD and the Indian.

fail review, no metric (Japanese) cruisers even though many are made in the USA and are seen as very reliable.

I have the same Indian, it drives like a dream

Should have added the Yamaha Stratoliner to the line-up...

I ride a 1950 Harley Panhead chopper. I'd choose the Harley just cause it means the most to me lol

I've ridden most of these. Harley is nice but I think suffers with poor chassis design on this model. I think the chassis has too much flex for my liking. And the Harley definitely lacks power and struggles compared with other three. The Indian is a beautiful bike and has real quality. It's oozing in quality and has a great torquey motor. I love the leather on the Indian. It is your Lincoln or top range 'Oldsmobile' with beautiful lines, long suspension travel and just floats along all day without giving too much trouble. But it's far too costly. It's dearer than the rest and that goes with parts, servicing and accessories. The Victory...why would you bother. It's as ugly as a robbers dog. It's uglier than my mother in law. I'd sack the design team on that. I don't know what they were thinking. That back tail light is hideous. To me...I've picked the T-bird. It's a great cruiser. Offers plenty of comfort and room for long haul trips. It has a great chassis and fantastic suspension. And the seat....wow. I've already done 600 Kilometres in one day and got off feeling like I was never on it. The ride comfort is unbelievable. And it's backed by a large range of accessories and after market products. Not too expensive to own or run and it's much cheaper than the other three. The ride and handling of the T-bird was the winner for me.

test drove them all....I bought the T bird..For the money you can't beat it...why should I pay for your advertising and fancy dealership? there your markup Valve....If I had the money to blow I would by the Indian...but who is going to steal a Triumph? ..no worries just ridding.

hey no Honda? no goldwing?

where is the rocket 3???

Love that Indian front fender. If I was ever into this type of bike (ride Kaw Versys 1000) I would definitely go for that big ass Indian! Put some curb feelers on it too.

Roadstar 1700. Loved mine

Fuck that victory is some dumb looking, fire you entire design team immediately

be nice if they would have added the Triumph Rocket 3 Touring on there little road test

that indian is hideous without that rear fender skin thing covered. It reminds me of a Honda spree moped. That triumph engine is ugly. Take a 2016 heritage with the softail slim engine, and scrape corners. Otherwise take a different victory.

What a load of crap, another Harley sponsored road test

Tossers typical American road test

I seriously considered buying the Indian, but chose the Harley instead. While the Indian is hands down beautiful, it gets horrendous fuel mileage. It also shares the oil throughout the whole engine while Harley separates the chain case, engine and tranny. Is that a big issue? I don't know, but I couldn't find anyone who could explain how clutch dust and tranny shavings is good for an engine. I bought a 2015, but now the 2016 Harleys cone standard with ABS and Cruise for around 18k. Bottom line, I love my Heritage!!!!

guys I have an LT now for 18 months and have changed the pipes to the Remus mods, sounds a lot better and gets you noticed, I can say that personally as the LT lacks on some areas of styling or craftmanship and the Sissy bar is a pain to remove and fit at times, I find that having ridden the Indian and the Harley on tour in the USA the LT has a good comfort packet and has been for my old bones the best riding position ergonomically and does what I need it to do. I like the Parallel twin motor beter because of heat dispensation and less vibration. So I am keeping mine for  a long time... happy riding !

should have been a 110 roadking in this mix...

Stick to your Honda scooter PD60.
