You know the important race...

It's cause the challenger doesn't have what you would call a typical bike frame...its all aluminum...so order to make the weight...a few  pounds have to be added to match the Harleys weight...

I said mounting points, or brackets. Use the weight for something instead of ballast.

I hear the Indian frames are prone to cracking, so they could use some strength.

I do love my Indian ( I find the FTR's one of the best looking bikes ever made), but I have to admit I find the aesthetics of the bikes with all the boxy fairings and luggage rather difficult to appreciate .

Yes its modified..but it's still a touring bike...not a hyper speed japanese bike...

Just admit it FFS Pedro...didn't you see what BMW came up with to compete in this segment of the market...must be one of the ugliest bike ever made with and airplane engine...lol. 

 

Your bike´s segment? Expensive overweight touring cruiser? They made this:

It's 6 cylinders, 1650cc, 160hp, and 175Nm torque, 115 (front) and 135mm (rear) suspension travel, 336kg wet.

Your piece of shit is 1780cc, 122hp, 173Nm torque, 130(front) and 118mm (rear) (WTF??) suspension travel, and 361Kg dry. So heavier, way slower, less smooth and comfortable, and shittier handling.

Quarter mile, since it matters to you: 10,9 for the BMW vs 12,7 for your barge.

The BMW will be nicer to ride, smoother and faster, sounds nicer, and runs rings around your boat anchor. It's vastly superior on everything!

Again apple to oranges....a six cylinder now...lol....but that is a beautiful bike I have to admit...but not in the same ball park ...this is what we call a sport touring...

I was talking about this Bike from BMW...

I don't care what you call it, it is what it is in the real world.

That 1800 is what BMW made with you and your friends in mind. Low, can't lean, slow and massive, so you and your friends can cruise at 120kmh for 5 ours before "sharing rooms" 😟

Same market, touring bike, not less comfortable in any way, carries the same luggage and passenger in comfort. But you're right, it's not in the same ballpark, it's way better.

Way better in leaking oil...lol...omg Pedro this is another Ducati kinda bike...plague with ABS nightmares...so complicated built that only a dealership can work on them...how reliable are they ?   Don't see this bike breaking the endurance record that for sure....

I don't know. We could look at used bikes for sale and see which have the highest mileage.

I don't know what you're talking about ABS nightmares.

You take yours to the dealer on a trailer when it sneezes and it's 3 hours away, and you call yourself a good mechanic. So how is the Indian being simple helps you?

You're the one going on about your own bike seeping fluids and going in for warranty work, plus needing remaps, etc, not to mention the weak cast frame.

A friend of mine owned one...it was and older model...can't remember the year...it wasn't very old...the abs unit failed on it and the warranty had just ran out...it was actually cheaper to scrap the bike than having it repaired...

I call bullshit.
