Harley vs Indian is a fantastic rivalry and it benefits all riders as you will see in this video because one has had an edge over the past few years while the other seemed content. But just like competition does, we now have a big gap closure with all of these new features, bikes and prices on the new motorcycles is making this a lot more interesting.

After 40 years of riding and most of those years on Harley-Davidson. I just bought my first Indian Roadmaster. I couldn’t be happier. The 116 Thunderstroke is one heck of an engine.

I've been riding Harleys for 20 years but they seem like they're getting out of control with pricing and displacement. I'm ready to jump ship to something lighter, smaller, and a better bang for the buck.

I own a 2024 Indian Challenger DH . Test road the HD 2024 Road Glide . The Indian is night and day from the HD. All the weight is in the bottom of the Challenger which makes it feel much lighter and agile. Then you have the standard bells and whistles. I've seen the 2024 Road Glide has had so many problems. I'm definitely glad I went with my Indian.

Been Riding Harleys for decades...love em...but I just traded my ultra limted for a pursuit dark horse 6 weeks ago...I will not go back...LOVE that pursuit...
-
I ride harley but I think Indian is a better bang for your buck. Atleast here in alberta canada 🇨🇦

Speaking of dealerships. My wife was looking at an entry level bike, so we were going to try out both Indian and Harley. We had such a bad experience at Harley that we went with a Scout and she couldn't be happier. It was almost like they didn't want a woman owning a Harley.

Just bought a new Indian Pursuit Dark Horse. I pick it up tomorrow.
-
Indian for me. Not really one that has liked harley. They have great bikes but the Indian with its quality and reliability and overall looks better to me and better deal far as bang for the buck makes Indian a clear choice for me.
-
I have both. I find myself riding my Indian way more than my Harley. It's more comfortable, powerful, and looks better. Not to mention a lot fewer problems.
-
I love motorcycles. I just wish both Indian and Harley would make an affordable entry level motorcycle. My local dealer does offer an affordable entry level bike at the Harley dealership, it’s called Royal Enfield.

At 6'4" I struggle on the HDs, all of them. I fit fine without mods on my flashed V Star 1300 and Raider. I sat on a Springfield, and it fit like a glove. I love the Polaris floorboards. The Victory CCT floorboards were awesome. I can feel that carryover design on the Springer.
-
I was on H-D for 30 years. I still like 'em, but I'm happy with my Indian Pursuit and FTR Rally. If I lived in the flatlands, I probably wouldn't like the FTR as much. But living in western NC with twisty roads everywhere, like The Snake, The Diamondback, The Dragon, the FTR is freaking badass.
-
Harley is catching up, still not like the Indian. Own them both.
-
We have had an 883 Iron and now a 2018 Street Bob. Grest bikes, but if I had to prioritize against our Scout Bobber and Springfield the H-D would be out on its ass in a second. The Indians are far superior.
-
Just wish there was more after market parts for Indian
-
Both are really pushing each other to build true American Classics. For me the HDs are still the standard bearer of American motorcycles…Indian has some awesome bikes as well. Gotta have both. Agree on the dealers as HD pushes you to ride and buy. Here in Texas the Indian dealer wants a deposit and or initial credit check…totally stupid approach if you ask me

I have a 2020 Challenger DH. I just did the Harley demo event and rode the Road Glide CVO ST; impressive bike. $44k MSRP. I loved it, but then started to think and compare. Reality, the CVO honestly does nothing better, and definitely not worth the cash outlay to warrant trading in my Challenger. And to be completly honest, the non CVO would be a downgrade, just my opinion. I came from Harley, last was 2021 lowrider s; wanted a bagger, was ready to buy a 21 road glide special, then went to the indian demo; bought the challenger. I ride with an MC and took much heat for pulling up on the Indian, but once everyone looked at it, that went away. I wanted the CVO to be the bike but it just isn't even better to warrant $44k
-
I have no idea where you find pricing that Indian was more expensive then the 2024 Harley. I have both and Indian offers twice the value . Harley has finally changed its tradition to try and keep up with Indians technology.

Buy what you like while you can, then ride it.

I've been a Harley fan since I was a child. I bought an 03 anniversary edition Fatboy softail. I sold it after the economy crashed. I learned a lot more about Harley Davidson before I bought the next one. There was no way I was going to spend 30 grand on a motorcycle. Especially one with the new M-8 engine in it. I ended up buying another Fatboy. But this one had the Evolution engine. Now I have no use or need for the factory or dealerships. Harley Davidson, the factory is going in the wrong direction of an American business normally supported by the blue collar customer. I know nothing about Indian. But I know I will never buy a new bike from Harley Davidson.
