If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?

I'll go first:

  1. Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
  2. Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
  3. Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)

I love my ‘23 Indian Chief, good bikes indeed.

Never looked much at the Indian Motorcycles due to my low budget and their high prices, and my inexperience contrasts with their non beginner friendly lineup. What makes the Chief a great bike?

Lots of power, good ergonomics, engines that last and last. I’m no fanboy, they’re not perfect bikes and they are expensive, but I can say that I love every second I’m on mine.

My wife rides a Scout.

The Thunderstroke engines go and go. The bikes are comfortable and easy to ride, and look great.
