Indian Pursuit Review
"The best American touring bike you can buy used right now."
Used Buyer Review
The Pursuit is Indian's answer to the Road Glide, and honestly it's a compelling one. That 116ci Thunderstroke motor pulls hard from virtually any rpm, the fairing cuts wind better than most anything in its class, and the 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen still feels modern even on earlier examples. Check the infotainment for software updates — early units had glitchy Bluetooth that Indian largely sorted through updates. The heated seats and grips work properly, which sounds basic but matters when you're covering ground in October. Here's what nobody tells you before buying one used: these bikes are heavy. 836 pounds wet isn't a joke, and if you're not parking on perfectly flat ground or you've got a bad back, you'll feel every ounce. Also budget for tires — the OEM Michelins wear faster than you'd expect for a touring machine. Footboard mounts can loosen up on higher-mileage bikes, worth checking during the test ride. Find a clean 2021+ with under 20k miles and you're getting a genuinely premium touring experience for significantly less than new sticker.
