Indian Pursuit Dark Horse

The Indian Pursuit Dark Horse has a top speed of ~185 km/h (estimated; electronically influenced), produces 122 hp and weighs 388 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

Indian Pursuit Dark Horse був представлений на 2022 модельний рік як затемнений варіант Pursuit Limited, що представляє флагманський туристичний багажник Indian Motorcycle. Він був розроблений, щоб безпосередньо конкурувати з Harley-Davidson Road Glide і Street Glide, оснащений повним обтічником, жорсткими сумками для сідла та преміум-аудіо. Оздоблення Dark Horse підкреслює зловісну, затемнену естетику із затемненими компонентами двигуна, колесами та обробкою, що приваблює гонщиків, які хочуть туристичних можливостей з агресивним стилем.

Thunder Stroke Reliability

The 116ci Thunder Stroke engine is known for strong long-term durability, but early models (2017-2019) had reports of oil consumption issues worth monitoring. Regular oil checks are recommended, especially in higher-mileage examples.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Dark Horse trim consistently holds value better than standard Pursuit models due to its blacked-out aesthetic and premium appeal. Expect to recoup 70-80% of MSRP within the first two years compared to competitors.

🔊

Infotainment Watch Point

The Ride Command infotainment system is a standout feature with a large 7-inch touchscreen, but some owners report Bluetooth connectivity glitches and software lag. Always test the system thoroughly before purchasing a used unit.

"The best bagger Milwaukee didn't build, now at a sensible price."

$18,000-$24,000 used

The Pursuit Dark Horse is Indian's most serious attempt at taking on the Road Glide, and honestly? It comes remarkably close. The 116ci Thunderstroke makes a genuinely impressive 122 lb-ft of torque, and that 6.5-inch Ride Command infotainment system embarrasses Harley's equivalent. Used examples from 2022-2023 are hitting the market now as early adopters upgrade, and you can snag one for significantly less than sticker. That's where it gets interesting. Pre-purchase, scrutinize the fairing lowers for stress cracks — they're mounted tight and vibration takes a toll. Check that the Ride Command system responds without lag; early units had software gremlins that dealers mostly sorted under warranty. Inspect the exhaust for bluing, which signals hard riding or heat issues. These bikes were often bought by image-conscious buyers who rarely flogged them, so low-mileage cream puffs exist if you're patient. The riding experience is genuinely premium — wind protection is class-leading, the seat comfort beats anything Milwaukee ships, and the handling is surprisingly planted for 900-plus pounds. It's not perfect, but it's compelling.
