When you think of touring motorcycles…’baggers’…you may be forgiven for thinking that Harley-Davidson, BMW or even a Honda would be the only ways to go. However Indian motorcycles are seeing quite the resurgence in the last couple of years as many motorcycle enthusiasts are looking for more perceived value, modern tech but with that classic styling too. Enter the Indian Challenger Dark Horse for 2022 as a direct ‘Challenger’…pardon the pun, the the Harley Davidson Road Glide
Traditional lines, frame mounted fairing with power windscreen, hard saddlebags, PowerPlus Liquid Cooled Engine (1768cc) at 178Nm Torque
The hefty Indian Challenger Dark Horse variant will appeal to those riders wanting the modern twist of the classic American riding experience but with improved stock chassis and suspension, modern technology and electronics and ride all day performance in any weather using that efficient liquid cooled engine.
