I guess if your into looking into what i got to into to ride ability and performance your good to go.

I bet warp would understand that, but you lost me.

Would be nice to hear a report on both! Why not try the Indian on a trial ride and cast your judgement perhaps?? Just asking cos we can't try either over here

Polaris kicked Victory riders to the curb, Indian sales like most motorcycles are sagging so the boot will be lining squarely up on Indian in time. I'm no fan of Polaris and think you're crazy to give them one bit of money. Yes I'm butt hurt being a Victory owner, hope they don't shank Indian owners.

Deleted post. The Indians are nice bikes but way over priced. Checked into them and for a full dressed bike the price was ridiculous. Test rode a 2019 and yes it had a lot of curb appeal but lacked in many aspects. A 116 cubic inch i would image has more power but power is not the only thing when looking at a full dresser.

I bought a pre-loved 2015 Injun Vintage a little over a year ago. I came across it on Craigslist whilst looking for/at Rockets. It's one of the purdiest bikes I had ever seen So, I took it for a test drive and decided to buy it. I agree with sonny, nice bikes but over priced. Mine has the 111ci engine and really doesn't perform much better, if any, than my 103 Harley. And from what I've read the new factory 116s ain't gonna be no rocket either LOL. Like Harley, they're good for long distance and or touring but in the end they're big heavy stump pullers. Slugs, that if ya wanna make go fast be prepared to sink big $$ into them.

Butt, if ya wanna be comfy and arrive in style they fit the bill

Yeah, kind of half ass'd been considering the 558s for a bit more low end grunt, but I might just leave it as is. Don't know if I trust the wimpy piston rods and valve springs/seats. '19s (I think) and '20s have improved/upgraded rods and springs so I might go that route. And or.... might just continue my search for a Rocket... fast from the factory (o:

Cams shouldn't give you enough to matter, 20hp/20tq maybe..
