I'm one of the few that really doesn't like the Indian signature styling - it just doesn't speak to me. I do, however, think that the Thunderstroke V-Twin is one of the prettiest engines I've ever seen. I had the chance to ride one when they were introduced here in South Florida and I found that power and throttle response are soft. It handled OK. I'm in total agreement with cr0ft regarding the air cooling. But i'm here to tell you that the fits and finishes are second to none - the chrome polish is so deep you'd think you could dive into it.
This incarnation of the Indian reminds me of the US autos from the 50's - all style and flash, but with a driving experience leaving much to be desired. It's a 2014 bike with a 1950's feel - probably just what they were going for.
All things considered - it could never tempt me from my R3T.
