Test Ride: 2017 Road Glide, Street Glide & Indian Chieftain
#71
I dont mean to hijack your thread but i am thinking of getting a new harley, i had a RK Classic in 06 and have been thinking RG or SG, just curious is the only difference between the specials the bigger screen and standard abs and security? Is it possible to get ABS and Security on both of these bikes. Just trying to figure out what the $3k gives you. Im also not ruling out a RK but thinking id like to try something else.
I like the looks of the SG better, but I can tell you that if you're a bigger guy, definitely test ride the RG. The angle to that fairing is well thought out, and it feels spacious in the saddle. I felt cramped on the SG.

I'd have to see specifically what two bikes you're comparing. The RG and SG?

Alamomann, your spot on for the assessment of waiting a few years on the Indians especially as to see how they keep up the quality. I think Polaris is in deep **** over the recalls on the offroad razrs and tricycles and may need to make up for the cash outflow by cutting costs where they have sales, which may be in the Indian dept. Polaris really needs to split out their Indian segment from rest of of their segments so we get a better idea of how financially sound they are running that part of the business.

Wrong! Buddy of mine works at the Polaris dealer. He told me maybe one of the harleys you see might be a trade in. The rest are bought at auction.

I really like the Indians as well. Very traditional styling. And much of a cvo for 10 grand less. But!! Plan on adding 1500 right out of the box for new exhaust. .. ( the Indian headpiece and slipons) because they sound like absolute sewing machines stock. With the exhaust change they sound very good imo. Harley sound much better stock.
