We picked one model from each brand and rode off to see.
doesn’t show a mileage figure—published numbers range from 34 mpg to 37. So the Harley has a range of 258 miles and the Indian perhaps less, maybe 204 to 222 miles.For a week I rode both of them back-to-back. Let me tell you how that went.
Both these bikes are big and, as I said, heavy. The Indian is 912 pounds full of fuel to the Harley’s 932. These are not good bikes for beginners. They are both solidly in the big American V-Twin cruiser category, where curb weight is more like kinetic energy waiting to be aimed somewhere. Aim them down the road and, like any objects in motion, they will tend to stay in motion until acted upon by a major force of nature. Or their brakes.
To remain upright in more normal riding, especially in slow-motion parking maneuvers where everyone is watching, these big, heavy bikes are most easily controlled by their torque. Twist the throttle and you get gobs of it instantly. You must trust in the torque, Luke. Master its subtle application and you will master these beasts, both of them. The same goes for twisty mountain roads. Easing out of corners is best done with just a minimal application of throttle from low engine speeds.
