Indian ROADMASTER reviews

This is the second Indian I've owned. My first one was a 2000 Indian Chief (Gilroy).I upgraded to a 2016 Indian Roadmaster for the air ride. My wife was disabled, it made a huge difference. I've put 10,000 miles on my Roadmaster and it is absolutely the best handling bike I've ever owned. No lugging at low speeds. Heated seat and grips makes fall riding more comfortable. Closed loop fuel injection and electronic cruise control makes traveling over several states a real pleasure. I get compliments EVER time I stop for fuel. The bike is well balanced and the height is perfect for me @ 5'11". The bluetooth makes all trips alot more pleasurable. My wife said the ride for her is very enjoyable, especially with the arm rests, full floorboards for both rider and passenger.Air sensor tire pressure is nice. This bike weighs 930 lbs but you wouldn't know it because the bike is well balanced and very nible. The 111 cu in 1811cc can really get you going really fast,really quick. The ride and the ergonomics will sell you after your test ride. I GUARANTEE IT. Stay safe and keep your knees in the breeze. Show less

I’ve owned and ridden big Jap cruisers, HD Road king and this Indian Roadmaster was by far the most comfortable. I road it from the East coast out to Sturgis in 2015 picked up a nail in the rear tire and the TPMS kept me clued in so I knew the tire pressure was going down before i could feel it or have a miss hap on the road. For a bike that weighs jus under a thousand pounds with me and gear on it, it handles like a dream. I’v’e put over 25000 miles on it these past 2 years and it hasn’t failed to keep a smile on my face yet. It runs very well with its 111Cubic Inh power plant and it looks as sweet as anything out there on the road. I love it, its been my best ride to date. Show less

The very first motorcycle ride I ever had was on a 1953 Indian Chief when I was 5-years-old. I fell in love and always wanted an Indian. Years later, after riding a 90 Kaw, and two Gold Wings, I saw this Indian Spirit and fell in love. I had to buy it. Right away I had a few problems with it, but got them fixed (warranty work/recalls) and it's been smooth sailing ever since. It starts right up and the performance is excellent. It's not a Gold Wing but it's still a lot of fun to ride for a couple hours and gets just loads of attention every time I take it out. What led me to buy this Indian was that this is an "AMERICAN" motorcycle. I take a lot of pride in telling people that "there's not one part, one piece, nut, bolt, wire, nothing on this bike that wasn't made right here in America, by Americans for Americans". Maybe it's not as fast as my old Kawasaki 900 Z1-B but it has more than enough hp. for 2-up riding. This is an "old school" cruiser and they don't make them like that anymore. I've been so pleased with this bike and it's like a old Timex - "It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'". This is my last motorcycle and will be passed on to my grandson when he's ready for it.

I checked out a lot of bikes when I was looking to ride again, but when me and my wife walked onto the lot where the 2003 Spirit Roadmaster was, the search was over. Whenever I'm stopped somewhere, one or more people stop and look at it while most say what a great looking bike it is. It's definitely a head turner. On top of the looks, the ride is great. The 1442 cc engine has plenty of power and the ride couldn't be much better. Show less

I've put over 600 miles on my Spirit in one month. No runs, no drips, no errors. On top of that it's so darn good looking! This bike gathers a crowd every time it's parked. Harleys are great bikes also, but their common. Grab a piece of American history and ride on..."find your own road". Show less

This is one awesome bike. I have ridden Harley's and others, but in my opinion this bike has the best combination of beauty, power and ease of handling at both slow speeds and on the highway. I have put over 500 miles on it in just over a week, and I still can't stop grinning every time I get on it. For a big bike it's user friendly. The low center of gravity makes it easy to balance, and the amazing, smooth power makes it a joy to ride. Show less

I just purchased my Roadmaster that I have been dreaming of for such a long time. I am extremely pleased with the bike with the exception of the air box which will be replaced when I go in for my 500 mile service. The handling and the power of the bike is just great. I was extremely disappointed with Harley Davidson because they didn't want to strike a deal or budge on their price. Just on a whim, we went to my Indian dealer where they were more than happy to do whatever they had to do to make me a very happy customer. If there is anyone out there who is skeptical about buying one of these bikes, don't be. I would recommend one of these over a Harley any day of the week. Show less
