I demo'd the '14 Chieftain and said I'd buy one in red. But then I saw a two-toned on the internet and I said I'll get the Chieftain, but it had to be red/cream two-toned. Then the '15 Chieftains came out in factory two-tone and I said I'd get one, until I heard about the Roadmaster. Contacted my local Indian dealership (2hrs away) and plopped down my deposit. And now the day has finally come. This Saturday, 10/11/14, I will make the 2 hour trip to go pick up my new 2015 Red/Ivory Cream Roadmaster. I'll post a pic or 2 to let y'all know how it looks.

Got a review for us yet? I'm looking to pick one up this Spring and would love to hear what you think. I keep going to the dealer for a test ride but everything is a presale.

Ok, here's my take on my new 2015 Indian Roadmaster after owning it for a month. I'm not used to touring bikes, so the extra weight was something to get used to. I get compliments daily (when it's nice enough out to actually ride it). I've put almost 500 miles on it this first month and that includes being in the Indian Motorcycle Riding Group 1st Inaugural ride in Tennessee back on Oct. 24-25. It was a very nice ride, some highway, some in town, and a lot of quiet back roads. The Roadmaster rode like a dream. The seats are very comfortable, little to no vibration discomfort in hand grips or floor boards. I haven't noticed any rattle in the windshield like I did on the 2014 Chieftain that I did a demo on. I'm getting about 34 MPG in daily riding to and from work, but during the Tennessee ride it seemed like I was getting 50+ MPG! Low speed handling is fine. I've added the Indian highway pegs and I think I've scrapped them once on a low lean turn. I know it wasn't my floor boards or my pipes. I've thought about taking off the trunk and riding it like a chieftain, but I love the look too much as is, plus I like a place to put my helmet when I go to work! I did get the stage 1 Indian pipes for it and it makes all the difference in sound. I love it. The only pictures I have are crappy ones that I took in the garage, so I'll post some better ones when I park it outside in the sun. Right now we got some cold weather and snow so my bike isn't leaving the garage any time soon. Thanks for being interested.
