Review of the 2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse and Chief Bobber

*Torque figures I quoted are from the Chieftain line using the same engines. The actual torque specs of the Chief is a smidge lower. The 116 is actually 120Ft-Lb and the 111 is 109Ft-Lb vs the engines in the touring line at 126 and 119. I did not catch this until after the video was made.*

A back to back ride on Indian's newest platform. Yes it is long, but two bikes back to back make it worth it.
