The engine just runs so smooth. Like, insanely good. And it delivers the power in a very elegant and gentle manner. But with a bold touch. Does that make sense? Or sound absolutely bonkers?
What I mean is, it really jumps off its place at traffic lights. But with a gentleman’s charm. No chaos, lots of trembling and growling. But smooth and quick, and it still makes you feel like you ride the big cruiser you are actually riding.
I did a little ‘race start’ with a friend of mine on a Suzuki GSX-R. I’m telling you.. my friend had to whip that Suzuki and get all out of it to win from me on that Indian Chief. Honestly.. the only reason I lost, was because I had to roll off the throttle because I was on an insertion strip, which ended earlier than I expected.. Rookie mistake, sorry.
I just didn’t expect the Indian Chief to be that fast.
